Testimonials

Years ago, I suffered a miscarriage and the mental/emotional toll it caused years of pain. On top of all my mental/emotional distress, my husband and I continued trying to conceive for years without any luck. Lavender offered her services to help us get to a healthy place, as well as offered her special gifts to help us conceive. After our first session, I immediately felt the weight I had been carrying around for years lift and I felt reassured I would have a child/children. Lavender knew exactly how many sessions we would need. Her confidence and gentleness made me trust her entirely. Sure enough, shortly after our last session we found out I was expecting. Lavender was a constant presence during my pregnancy. I suffered from severe morning sickness and fatigue for most of the pregnancy and Lavender was there to help ease my symptoms and guide us into a healthy and safe space. When I went into labor, she was one of the first I contacted, and she proceeded to offer help with labor pains from a distance. I now have a healthy and happy family and I know for certain we would not be here without Lavender’s help.

I was diagnosed with seronegative rheumatoid arthritis in 2015. I work as full-time massage therapist, 48 years old.

I experience symptoms of pain and inflammation daily and take all sorts of pills to manage the symptoms. Some days are better than others.

I have known Sonja most of my life. I admit when I first learned she was practicing Reiki, I was skeptical. When she asked me if I would be interested in receiving long distance treatments, I decided that I had nothing to lose.  As a massage practitioner, I am familiar with this form of healing, but had not given it any consideration for my condition. At the time my hands hurt. My energy was zapped and really, my mood was swinging in all directions. All I had to do was be willing, keep an open mind and most importantly, an open heart.

After we discussed my symptoms, we discussed the plan. She was clear about what she needed from me, and she let me know each time I would be receiving my treatments, so that I was aware when I would be receiving. She checked in with me the morning after each treatment having done her work at night. In beginning, I was unsure, though I would wake up with a lighter feeling, not only in my hands, but in my body in a way that offered a sense of “calm in the moment”.  It was like I had an opportunity to be present. I still had some physical symptoms to this RA, but my energy and ability observe my condition gave me my relief.  

Over the course of a several weeks, we gradually tapered our sessions. Each session seemed to bring me closer to my sense of my personal needs and how to take care of them, to take care of myself.

It has been a couple of months since we ended our sessions, and I would say I still experience subtle, residual effects particularly when I recall the treatments. 

I indeed carry a lasting sense of being the observer of my life. I like to see my diagnosis mere dust particles on my dirt road journey. It gets dusty when the wind blows, and I sneeze or when I try whipping through life. 

I recommend Sonja’s distance Reiki treatments – with a plan and commitment.  There is a magic about Sonja. Her intentions are pure, and that it is what makes her work magical.
