TESTIMONIALS

"This was my first ever Reiki experience and Lauren put me at ease right away! She really takes her time to listen to what brings you... and attunes herself to your specific needs. I came in with a need to heal and regain my independence, and I felt a wipe away of a lot of negative energy that needed to GO! Absolutely book a session when you get a chance!"

"Right before the holidays, I was feeling anxious and impatient with my family. I was looking for a Reiki practitioner and Lauren at First Light Reiki came highly recommended by a friend. I love that her intake form asked about sensitive areas or potentially triggers and if I preferred sounds, or music, etc. When I arrived, there was tea set out for me and we sat down to review the information and to discuss goals for the session. The session itself was lovely - very peaceful and relaxing. Following the Reiki session, Lauren and I sat down and did a short debrief, and she was able to incorporate what I felt or saw into the conversation... I highly recommend First Light to anyone looking for a reiki session."

"My session with First Light Reiki was amazingly impactful! Lauren was incredibly attentive to my individual needs and genuinely curious about how she can best help facilitate my growth internally and externally. Since my Reiki session, I have noticed an increased sense of self awareness and a newfound willingness and ability to recognize my emotions in any experience. I look forward to our sessions to come and can’t wait to tell my loved ones about Lauren’s skills!"

"Lo at First Light Reiki is a true master of this healing tradition and has taken great care and attended many trainings to hone her craft. It shows. In my previous experiences with other reiki healers, I did not feel the freedom and catharsis that I did at First Light. I felt vulnerable and apprehensive when we began the session as I suffer from complex PTSD, dissociation and anxiety disorders that are painful to confront. However, she provided explanations of what to expect, what feelings may occur, and safety guidelines. With those in place I was able to immerse myself in the experience. Through my sob-cries I felt called to let the walls crumble and let my anger, fear, and grief to be energetically released and, in a circular motion, come to some conclusions. At one point when I feared it would be too much negative energy for her to receive or encounter, I was shown her true professionalism, mastery, and strength in response. This is her practice and her gift. I received a non-judgmental and supportive space to feel my feelings, to be all of myself. Either via intuition, training or likely both, she moved my energy, her hands buzzing with my reflected pain against her care, to the places it needed to go. A few weeks past that session, I feel as though anvil has been lifted. This is due to her ability to empower and hold space for all experiences. I also feel more deeply connected to my guiding philosophy of eco-feminism in a way I have not for several years as a result of this practice. I wholeheartedly recommend First Light Reiki and suggest booking with Lo as soon as you can! As a survivor and women in recovery, vulnerability with the physical body is rare for me, but her trauma-informed approach offered me the opportunity for integrated mind-body healing."

"Like Lauren predicted, I’m more comfortable making new decisions. I took a new route home this week, something my anxiety would never let me do! Energetically, it feels like my third eye has been whacked open, lol. I definitely feel my body and mind are in closer conjunction now :) I am honestly SHOCKED at how clearly thoughts and decisions come to me now. I usually stressed over decisions for ages, and now it feels like that burden has been lifted. Again, thank you!!"

"I have known Lauren for a very long time, but found myself rediscovering her in her deepest capacity during a recent Reiki session. Through her gentle touch, I was able to release some very deep-seated and long, standing anxiety that I’d been feeling. I felt like I was floating beneath her hands, in a space of sublime relaxation that I have not felt for years. Returning to the physical space, I felt a warm combination of both release and positive energy. I felt very safe, supported, and above all deeply loved. Thank you, Lauren, for this offering."

"I didn't know much about Reiki when I arrived at my first session with Lauren, but I was stalled out on either healing modalities and figured I'd give it a try. Boy, am I glad that I did. From the minute I entered Lauren's space, I felt uncharacteristically relaxed and supported. With both her hands-on energy work and verbal integration techniques, she gently, but confidently, helped me to unblock some issue areas that had paralyzed me for decades. I can't fully put words to what I experienced, but I can say that Lauren is a rare human being and I enthusiastically recommend her services."

"I had my first ever Reiki session with Lauren at the recommendation of my sister. I wasn’t sure what to expect but tried to keep an open mind. From the moment I met Lauren, I felt so relaxed and open in her presence. She made me feel comfortable throughout the whole process, and I was honestly pretty blown away by the experience. I’m a clinical psychologist, and my session with Lauren—which included a pre- and post-processing session—felt like an excellent therapy session on steroids. Even having never met before, I feel like she picked up on so many themes that I was wrestling with at the time, and when I got home I made long journal entry of themes that came up during my session that I wanted to continue to think about and explore. Directly after my Reiki session, I stopped at the grocery store to pick a few things up, and I remember feeling like I was on drugs, but I realized later that what I actually felt was extremely present. I was very aware of everything around me and all of my sense perceptions. Lauren is clearly very genuine and committed to helping people through her practice of Reiki, and I wholeheartedly recommend her for anyone interested in trying Reiki."

"About a month ago I severely injured my hand while using a power tool. It required stitches by a reconstructive hand surgeon and a 7 hour stay in the emergency room. As an artist, a kung fu student, and a Reiki master, my hands are my lifeblood and I had lost the use of one of them. The trauma was both physical and emotional. I went to Lauren because I needed help. Even though I gave my hand daily Reiki while it was healing, I could still feel energetic blockages that I couldn’t remove. A single session with Lauren removed that trauma in a relaxed, meditative, and supportive environment. The doctors I’ve seen in my follow up visits have been amazed at the speed and completeness of my recovery and I credit Lauren in large part for that success. I HIGHLY recommend her Reiki services."

"It has been a little over 2 weeks since my first ever Reiki session, and I am still feeling the positive energy within me. Being a slight skeptic of the work of Reiki, I never expected to say that before now! Today, I am feeling much more centered, and with less stress and anxiety. This is thanks to Lauren! Going to Lauren was such a wonderful, uplifting, unique experience. To start the session, we talked a bit about my life, what I was seeking from the session, and where I wanted to grow. The attention she gave me was amazing! She listened to what I was saying and I felt like I was in safe, caring hands. Lauren is truly a lovely, supportive, professional in this field, and I recommend her to anyone looking for a Reiki session."

"My Reiki sessions with Lauren are always SO impactful and Divine. Her spirit-filled hands and my intention for our session today allowed me to access a sense of safety within my womb-space that I have not felt before. As she cleared the energy in my lower chakras I could feel the old, stagnant energy and played out stories being replaced with safety & unconditional love. The session continued to integrate throughout the day as I gained deeper awareness and clarity around my healing journey. Not only it is necessary to focus on feeling/healing my lower chakras, I am SAFE to do so. I would recommend Lauren to anyone looking to connect to themselves more deeply using the ancient healing practice of Reiki✨🤲🏼 she’s the real deal!!❤️‍🔥"

"I feel grateful that my first time experiencing Reiki was with Lauren. She was professional and communicative; she answered all my questions and listened to a lot of my concerns regarding being open to healing. Her space is beautiful, and she takes time to tailor the physical and spiritual experience to each person’s needs and comfort level. On top of all the logistics, I can’t recommend her enough as an energy healer. She’s candid about what she notices, in a way that isn’t forced but honest and perceptive. She follows up and is invested in the wellbeing of the people who work with her. Lauern’s Reiki work was undeniably restorative, but the professionalism and care that she brings to her practice made the experience unforgettable."

"My meeting with Lauren was my first experience with reiki ever and I am very grateful that she is the person who introduced me to it. The experience was a 2 session gift purchased by my brother, it is one of the most meaningful gifts I have ever received. I went into it with little knowledge of reiki and a lot of curiosity and openness. Although I had some nerves, Lauren's kindness and demeanor made me feel safe enough to really open up in our pre-session discussion; we had a very natural and flowing conversation guided by her thoughtful questions, my nerves subsided after just a few minutes. This was particularly important because I was on the cusp of ending a long romantic relationship, until this point I kept these thoughts and feelings completely to myself and was feeling a lot of self-doubt and shame. Lauren and I worked through this together with reiki, and looking back I am not sure where and who I would be if not for our sessions. Following my first session, an opportunity came for me to accept a job in a new city, I firmly believe reiki opened up my life to the possibility of such a monumental change timed perfectly with what I really needed. When I shared this opportunity with Lauren, her joy and added insights again calmed my nerves and made me feel ready to take on a new chapter of my life. In today's world, it is hard to slow down and really interact with your own body, mind, and soul, and my sessions allowed me to do just that alongside someone who genuinely wanted to help me. As we debriefed the session we found that we had a lot to discuss, and I definitely recommend adding Lauren's notes to your session package, as I referred to them numerous times in weeks following and they were very reflective of our time together."

"Full disclosure to anyone who reads this: I took a while to give Lauren my testimonial, because I’m still kind of awestruck by my experience. It was my first Reiki experience and I am truly at a loss of words to describe it. I went into it a bit skeptical, but open and left with a profound appreciation for the practice of Reiki, as well as for Lauren, who is an immensely formidable practitioner. I look forward to experiencing it again and I have recommended it to all of my friends to are looking to feel more aligned within themselves!"

— Lilliana D.
"For my first time doing reiki, this was a VERY warm and welcoming experience. Lauren really set the vibe for healing energy. One thing I loved about the session is how I was given the space to process my emotions in the verbal manner that I prefer. Every thought was received with empathy and it felt like such a needed release. One thing I didn’t know going into it was the amount of release that will continue to happen after the session. That serves as a true testament to the wonderful effects of reiki, and also a testament to the skill level of Lauren as a reiki master. Make sure you set the necessary boundaries to provide yourself the space to release during and after your session. It’ll be ongoing for as long as is needed to allow the energy to flow through you. I would recommend Lauren to every single homie I have. I trust her integrity as a Reiki master."
