Reiki – my experience. Having no real knowledge or understanding of Reiki I was more than happy to assist Deri in her quest for a guinea pig. Visiting her home, being welcomed into her Reiki room immediately made me feel at ease. Having a stressful job, anything that assists in “me time” is always very welcome. The first session really did assist in relaxing, and I experienced some what I would describe as “lights” in my head moments, along with heat, tingling and close to sleep moments. The subsequent sessions were equally enjoyable, with different levels of “experiences” within the sessions, the sleep, which followed my sessions always felt more restful. Overall, I really enjoyed the Reiki experience and I would def recommend anyone to try it.

5 star sessions with Deri! Every session was relaxing, Deri is excellent and always made me feel so lovely and comfortable. I had lots of experiences during my sessions from mixed feelings and emotions to seeing lovely lights, areas of warmth and cold, feeling lifted and positive, and all of these sessions bringing something new yet building a foundation of new hope and empowerment. Deri’s sessions have given me a whole new outlook on myself and my life…..I feel more confident, positive and in control of things that normally weighed me down. This is an incredible transformation for me as I’ve always felt I was never good enough lacking confidence and self-worth. Thank you Deri for all your help….. you are a very gifted and lovely person.

Before I started seeing Deri for Reiki I had no idea what Reiki even was, I had no expectations, and not a clue what a session involved. My reasoning for volunteering as a case study was purely an inquisitive one, and the thought of relaxing (if that was what it was even all about ?) for half an hour was a huge plus to someone as busy as me.
My first experience I can only describe as "incredible" having had no clue what to expect I found myself in such a deep state of relaxation that it actually frightened me a bit (but in a good way). I can only describe the calmness like a weight lifted off my head! As the weeks went by and the sessions continued, I experienced a range of different things, mostly through my emotions. I was able to switch off, yet revitalise, I felt a huge sense of control and power being restored (where had it even been?). I questioned my thoughts, paused to revisit those that were clearly awash in my head - and felt like I had been counselled.
My aches and pains seemed to diminish with every session (was I really carrying that much tension in me to begin with?) I started the programme with an open mind, I can't begin to tell you all the things I experienced whilst laid there for that half an hour once a week, what I can tell you is how It totally transformed me in that short space of time, and how grateful I am to have discovered Reiki, and Deri allowing me to be her case study, I honestly can't thank her enough. I would highly recommend Reiki treatment for anyone to try, you just never know what you might gain from that little half hour a week. I would absolutely love to continue with Reiki treatment as I feel it benefited me dearly.

Prior to my sessions with Deri, my knowledge and understanding of Reiki was extremely limited. I knew it was a holistic therapy which involved ‘hands off’ healing and was meant to be relaxing and involved the energy flow within the body. I’m open minded to holistic treatments and was very keen to find out more.
I suffer badly from migraine and joint problems and have problems falling asleep at night. I have a very busy lifestyle with balancing work and homelife that I very rarely have time for myself so I was very excited about the prospect of some relaxation and learning more about Reiki.
I was quite apprehensive before my first session as I had no idea what to expect. Deri was so warm and friendly and put me at ease immediately. It was lovely and relaxing to start with and as soon as Deri put her hands near my head, the heat from her was overwhelming. I’ve never experienced anything like it. When she moved her hands to the area of my legs, I could feel air in my stomach and flowing up through my body. I then felt as if I would ‘float’ off the bed. However, I did experience a pain in my left shoulder but the pain immediately stopped when she gently touched my upper leg. It was such a ‘weird’ feeling, I was quite overwhelmed by such a dramatic effect. I slept particularly well after the first session but did have a bad headache the following day, but I think this was self- inflicted as I didn’t drink enough fluids as advised by Deri.
On the plus side, my left shoulder felt amazing. I dislocated my shoulder a number of years ago and have on-going problems. However, after the first session my shoulder joint felt really loose as if I’d had a physio session. It really was amazing.
I spent the next week on a bit of a high, telling everyone who was willing to listen about the most amazing experience. I think I was becoming a convert at that point!
My second session wasn’t quite as dramatic as the first. I still felt unable to relax completely as there was an apprehension of ‘what’s going to happen now’. The heat from Deri’s hands was amazing. I felt almost trancelike & a few times I wasn’t sure where she was standing. I had the same experience of ‘air’ in my stomach and a feeling of heat travelling through my body. I did ‘float’ home and felt really relaxed and tired, in a nice way. My headaches did improve for the next 2 days and I definitely felt a difference in my temperament, a lot more relaxed and content. There was no improvement in my sleeping pattern, but I put that down to stress at work.
By my fourth session, I knew what to expect but I did tell Deri that I felt I wasn’t relaxing completely as I felt powerless of what was happening within me during the session. I didn’t particularly enjoy the feeling of the energy travelling through my body, but Deri was so calm, and reassuring and she told me to stop trying to be in control and just enjoy the session. I certainly did, I fell asleep. It was such a great session and loved the feeling of contentment and happiness afterwards.
I’ve enjoyed my last two sessions with Deri and found them to be really relaxing and the time passes so quickly.
I’m so impressed by Deri’s talent. She is such a lovely warm and friendly person who oozes positive energy. She makes me feel very welcome and the room in which she carries out her treatments is the perfect environment for relaxation. The music and candle burning enhances the whole experience. I’m still ‘blown away’ that she has the ability to transfer heat from her hands and to actually feel the energy travelling through you, is quite incredible. Her knowledge and belief in Reiki is apparent and I feel extremely fortunate that Deri has very kindly spent so much time with me introducing me to this wonderful art.
I actually think Deri has ‘magic’ in her hands!

I recently had Deri out to do a reiki session on my horse Buzz. Buzz is an ex racehorse who is now loving life away from racing and enjoying our new discipline. Buzz thoroughly enjoyed his session and found it so relaxing. Deri was fantastic with him. I would highly recommend reiki for any four legged friend and Deri is just the person for the job. Her calming influences are key to making your pet feel at ease and get the most from their session.
