This page is dedicated to the commentary and feedback from my students. After running a professional practice for two years out of Massachusetts, I moved to the Boulder, Colorado area in the late Summer of 2002. I opened an office in Longmont and held sessions, classes and a healing circle there for two years before moving to Ohio. I hope that these messages will give visitors to my site an idea of who I am as a healer and teacher.
When moving from Massachusetts, I asked my students to provide feedback on their experiences with Reiki and with me. The quotes below come from the replies I received. To see the full text of a comment, click the "View Comment" link below the quote.
I want to thank every person I have had the honor of working with, especially my students. Observing your progress as you each explore the application of Reiki in your own lives has been one of my life's greatest blessings.
Thank you,
Elaine
"I think more than anything [Reiki] has succeeded in removing fear from my life and has allowed me to live more fully.
"Reiki has allowed the scientist in me to believe in the divine. ... It has been in integral part in my understanding of human nature, and much more rewarding approach to personal relationships.
..."The time the I was able to spend with my teacher Elaine was amazing. Elaine worked so hard not to put her own spin in Reiki or allow it to be colored by her own beliefs or understanding. ... The day of my Master attunement still stands out as one of the most wonderful days in my life."

"On August 12th of 2002, ... I was healed of an ovarian tumor, and malfunctioning ovaries through Elaine's distance Reiki work. Just a few days prior to this healing, my gynecologist attempted to give me a routine examination of my womb, but her view was completely obstructed.
"...given my bouts with endometriosis, numerous surgeries, and cancer in that area, [my doctor] tentatively diagnosed me as having a tumor the size of a large orange. She also believed that removal of the tumor, a hysterectomy, and perhaps even chemotherapy would be necessary.
"A day after [my Reiki II] attunement, I started feeling emotionally raw, overwhelmed, and worried about my forthcoming ultrasound. In need of help, I contacted Elaine, and asked her to do distance Reiki to help my emotional state--so that I could remain calm during the ultrasound.
"On the day of the ultrasound, the exam took longer than expected because the technician was perplexed. ... [She] couldn't find anything! ... Baffled, the technician sent the scans right to my doctor for verification... [My doctor] concluded that both ovaries are 'perfect, beautiful, & healthy!' She even ordered scans on the rest of my womb, and all my organs, in case the tumor had moved/spread. But...Nada...nothing!
"This cosmic lesson resurfaced only a few weeks later when a close friend asked me to do distance Reiki for her mother's ovarian cancer. ... later, my friend called me overjoyed. She told me that during her mother's pre-op ultrasound, the doctors found that the tumors were completely gone. Her surgery was canceled.
"Thank you so much Elaine for teaching me and helping me. I pray and know the cosmic regenerative force is reciprocating your noble work."

"There has been an amazing difference in my life since I have become a Reiki Practioner. I am now at the Reiki II level after receiving my second attunement a few months ago. I have been able to heal in my physical, emotional and spiritual self. I wish I had found this 10 years ago!!
"... Most of my life I have been a healer to others in many ways. Helping others with their problems, counseling, and guiding people to get the help they needed. I realized I was always giving and never helping myself. ...
"... Learning Reiki showed me how to quiet my life down so I could focus on what my body was saying to me and helped me deal with it one step at a time. It gave me inner strength, hope, and the ability to help others. It is truly wonderful!
"Elaine is an amazing healer. When you walk into here school you feel an overwhelming calm around you. The experience is something I will never forget. She has the gift to teach, to listen, and to heal
a wonderful open and warm person. I recommend anyone who would like to experience Reiki to go to a Reiki share. You will not regret it!"

"I spent many years holding my essential self inside, misunderstanding what I was feeling. The pain I eventually felt and had to deal with has been labeled 'polyarthritis'. In time, it came to inhabit every joint within my body causing such pain and debilitation, I truly feared being able to work. ...
"I met Elaine, had one treatment - and within a week, as she explained was normal, I was beset by a deep increase in my physical symptoms! I was feeling the deep effect of touching what needed healing. I had several more treatments and continued my traditional medical regimen, and suddenly began feeling better. Within a two week period, after 8 months of great pain, I went from a state of barely being able to work in my teaching job, to shoveling snow after a big storm! ...
"I am pleased to have had worked with Elaine to begin healing the spiritual problem which caused my physical malady. ... Elaine is caring, wise, and a great listener who reflects her best back to you. I would not hesitate to recommend anyone seeing her with a need."

"I made my appointment with Elaine without knowing much about her or Reiki. Now that I have spoken to others about their experience with other Reiki practitioners, I realize how lucky I was to find Elaine.
"I was a bit apprehensive while driving to my appointment, but Elaine made me feel very comfortable from the minute I entered her treatment room. ... After the session, ... I left with a feeling of calm that I had not had in a very long time.
"The experience was so positive for me that I signed up for a Reiki I class with Elaine and eventually took Reiki II. I can honestly say that Elaine is an authentic healer."

"Learning Reiki and being attuned has helped me heal myself and offer healing to others. I healed a friend tonight and was able to convey what I felt from her.
"My friend also took Reiki I from Elaine and we discussed how wonderful the experience was; how being attuned helped us help others; and what a different Reiki healing has made. ... Elaine's style of teaching is wonderful. She is an open person, who communicates her intentions well and instructs well the teaching of Reiki."
