“Darlene guided me in a comprehensive healing and resilience plan. I was guided to listen to my body to create an energetic emotional and inner resilience program in response to an imbalance in my body.

This led me to books, nutritional healing as well as Anthony Williams “Medical Medium” eating protocols. I started drinking celery juice daily and worked towards no sugar, no alcohol, no red meat, no dairy, no gluten and no pork. This has resulted in my body cleaning out toxins and healing further.

Darlene helped me to look at what caused this imbalance. I was having severe emotional reactions to a family member’s addiction to alcohol. I was able to set some new boundaries and let go. I learned how to become neutral and not absorb someone else’s problems.

I was also able to look at old issues where there was unforgiveness and to forgive myself.

I created a resilience plan that included positive declarations of health and daily affirmations. These included honoring self love daily with affirmations and activities. And I experienced overall miraculous healing with the imbalances I was dealing with from Darlene’s intuitive and loving guidance. ”

“I have been on my journey of personal healing and evolution since about 2015. As a part of my spiritual awakening and initiation process, I began working with a universal energy for which I did not have a name. I became aware of my ability to sense energetic blocks in others and to move energy through the blocks. I also had developed a daily meditation practice, journaling practice, and had started down the path of creating my life’s work and practice. As a part of the practice, I offer intuitive energy work. Having learned to work with energy from the energy itself, and through non-ordinary states of consciousness, I did not have any sort of framework or commonly understood language for the work. When I started working with Darlene, I was drawn to Reiki in some respects, and I had recently bought and read a copy of William Rand’s manual for Reiki 1 and 2. Rand’s method did not appeal to me in the sense that it felt intellectual and controlling, or westernized, perhaps is the word. But I connected with an underlying truth and understanding that Reiki is a name for the very energy with which I have built a relationship over the last several years. I had the sense that I wanted to learn Reiki, and that I was going to find a teacher that would work with me one on one, and who came from a different perspective on the work.
I found Darlene in an intuitive google search several months ago. We had a consultation call in which I could tell we were a good fit. Darlene came and worked with me in my home through Reiki 1 and 2. We talked about Reiki as a daily personal practice, as a universal energy, and to facilitate the movement of energy in others for the activation of those who come to us for healing’s own internal healing system. Darlene met me where I was, with deep compassion and respect for my journey and the development of my unique relationship with Reiki. Darlene comes from a perspective of blending the westernized Reiki system with the original intentions and way of Japanese Reiki. Darlene guided me through a journey of learning the language of Reiki and developing a more specific and clearer connection with Reiki energy through the symbols and the precepts of Reiki. I now have a daily self-reiki practice and feel more embodied and confident in communicating about the work I do. I loved working with Darlene, and hope our paths connect again in the future. ”

“I have worked with Darlene and received her services regularly for over 5 years now. Initially, I was looking to heal from deep grief and a single energy healing session with Darlene immediately lifted the cloud of darkness that I had been feeling. I started seeing her for monthly sessions and credit her for completely transforming my life for the positive in all areas including business, family, finances, and personal development. Since the pandemic, we have switched to distance work and I found her healing sessions to be just as powerful and deep.I recommend Darlene to all my friends and family, and many have started seeing her on a regular basis. Darlene helps set goals and intentions and is able to bring about fast results, she is such a powerful healer that I ended up training with her.”

“I started Reiki with Darlene about 10 years ago. I appreciated her personality and professional mannerisms immediately. She is fun, open minded, and extremely intuitive. She blends in her clairvoyant gifts into our Reiki sessions thus providing a larger holistic view of healing.

In each session I relate some of the ideas/feelings that have surfaced since the last Reiki visit. She listens and works with those feelings during the session. At the end she has usually pinpointed the emotional source of my feelings and is able to reveal more clarity about the situation to me. This new information gives me a bigger holistic picture for me to work with myself until our next Reiki session.

I have since moved to Seattle and continue distance Reiki sessions with Darlene because of how skilled she is with her talents. Even though she isn’t in the same city I still feel the same intensity during our sessions.

Sidenote: I really like that Darlene comes from a Judaean religion upbringing. It has helped her navigate thru many of my own personal Christian/Mormon emotional issues that have held me back in life e.g, guilt, shame, toxic family pressure, etc. I feel her being neutral in that area has allowed her to navigate me thru those issues without it triggering her own biases.

10 years later and I still feel extremely lucky to have met Darlene. ”

“I would recommend Darlene’s Reiki training, monthly mentoring, and individual Reiki sessions to anyone needing an accessible path to peace and inspiration. In my work with her, I felt that I encountered a kindred spirit, guide (and I tend to resist guides :), and teacher of everyday transformation.”

“When I began looking for a Reiki Master teacher, I interviewed Reiki practitioners and scoured the internet for reviews and information, and I prayed and meditated that I would be led to the teacher that would be best for me at this juncture of my life. I will also add that it was important for me that I do this training in person. My research (and intuition) led me to Darlene, and for that, I am grateful. Darlene’s one on one approach to the Reiki Master training is focused on the spiritual and philosophical embodiment of Mikao Usui’s teachings. Rather than concentrating on the technical aspects of Reiki, Darlene seeks to teach her students how to infuse the five Reiki precepts into their lives so that they come to embody them, truly, so that the Great Bright Light fuses to one’s very being. I think that Darlene’s approach to teaching has been life changing for me. It has helped me to see how my thoughts and actions throughout the day are positively affected by my desire to live the five Reiki precepts so that in all that I do, I am expanding Reiki healing light in all areas of my life. For me, I am seeing that as I discipline myself to this practice, I am not only more fulfilled as a person, but I am also a more effective Reiki practitioner. ”
