Here is what some of our clients have said:

I have had both Shiatsu and Reiki with Joanna. Her professional yet caring touch needs to be experienced rather than explained. She is completely in tune with what she needs to work on to get you back on track." Josie L (Dec 09)

Well I gave Reiki a go. I am unable to explain how Joanna does it but after my first session I felt enlightened the dark clouds had been lifted. I was floating. Even my co-workers noticed the difference I was glowing. So to all you sceptics out there do not rule it out until you try it!"

Poppy D (October 2009)

Testimonials
reiki

"I was feeling heavy, my energy levels were being drained and I was surrounded by darkness for a couple of weeks and unable to shake it off. I was a sceptic at first about Reiki, maybe because I knew nothing about it. I tried everything - resting, having a massage to de-stress and meditation but nothing seem to work.

Well I gave Reiki a go. I am unable to explain how Joanna does it but after my first session I felt enlightened the dark clouds had been lifted. I was floating. Even my co-workers noticed the difference I was glowing. So to all you sceptics out there do not rule it out until you try it!"

Poppy D (October 2009)

"Experience Healing has provided me with an opportunity to re-centre and find a greater strength within my spiritual journey.

You promote healing at every level to create a sense of balance, clarity and harmony. Thank you for facilitating the sublime feeling of calmness and tranquillity within my life.

Jo, you are a beautiful person, who radiates inner and outer beauty, inspires people to self-evolve in a safe and nurturing environment. Thank you for providing me an opportunity to embrace my journey and re-ignite my sense of hope."

Ange K (December 2009)

"I would like to take this opportunity to say 'Thank You' for the most enlightening experience that I have ever experienced. After my reiki session and psychic reading I felt a ton had been lifted off my shoulders. In the last two weeks I have felt extremely calm and at peace. I am looking so forward to our next session"

Melanie P (Oct 2010)

shiatsu

"I have been going to various physiotherapists, chiropractors and myotherapist for a number of years.

When I meet Joanna 5 years ago she was finishing of her course in Shiatsu. She offered to give me a treatment knowing how painful my back and hips were. I was willing to give anything a go at the time because nothing else was working.

Well thanks for the treatment Joanna I have never looked back. With a mixture of on-going Shiatsu and Reiki treatments I have noticed a large difference. I feel lighter, happier, centred and free of pain. Keep those healing hands working Joanna ."

Maria H (November 2009).

"I have had both Shiatsu and Reiki with Joanna. Her professional yet caring touch needs to be experienced rather than explained. She is completely in tune with what she needs to work on to get you back on track."

Josie L (December 2009)

massage

"Hi Joanna, Just wanted to say - the massage was so incredibly relaxing - it was a wonderful experience - and I look forward to the next month's session."

Nancy A (January 2010)

"I have always thoroughly enjoyed my remedial massage sessions. Jo is very perceptive and always finds those areas where I have been having problems and uses different styles of massage when she feels the area will respond better. I treat these regular sessions as “body maintenance” and definitely feel my overall well-being has improved since I started seeing Jo."

Pam C (January 2010)

psychic readings

"Joanna picked up on information that she couldn’t have possibly known. Messages from relatives that had passed on were delivered, predictions of upcoming events were given and events that had happened in the past were revisited. All of this was done without prompting from the person having the reading done.

Everyone was totally blown away by the insight that Joanna offered and by the accuracy of the information that she uncovered. I can highly recommend Joanna as an excellent Psychic. Joanna is a person that you immediately feel at ease with."

Marie L (June 2009)

"Joanna was so amazing when she did my reading. Joanna was able to give me really helpful insights and confidence. She was also able to contact my grandmother that had passed on for many years and also my Uncle whom both I loved dearly. It was truly an incredible experience. Thank you, Joanna."

Karen L (October 2009)

"Hi Joanna, just wanted to thank you for this morning's reading. It was beautiful and I believe that a lot of what you said has now made me feel somewhat lighter and things a little clearer.

I look forward to the workshops and will make sure I get my hands on that book you recommended ASAP! Thanks again."

Patricia G (November 2009)

"Joanna quickly set me at ease when I went to her recently for a reading. The information she gave was direct and insightful, particularly as she had no prior knowledge of my situation. She offered simple and effective strategies that have allowed me to resolve some long term issues.

Joanna was respectful of the emotions brought up by the reading and allowed enough time to process the information. She is a gifted practitioner with an amazing understanding of the spiritual realms. "

Meg P (December 2009)

"The accuracy of Joanna’s readings were quite astonishing. I have had readings done by others in the past and approached my appointment with Joanna with an open, but sceptical mind. Her understanding of my family relationships was remarkable. She not only provided insight into the complexities of my interactions with others, but practical suggestions on approaching sensitive matters. I would have no hesitation in recommending Joanna to others. Her gift is remarkable and her rapport with clients is very professional."

Kate G (August 2010)

what should I bring? an open mind and a willingless to experince your past lives.

what can I expect from a session? it is best not to have any expectations so that you remain open to any information that is revealed to you. It is best to have a clear idea about what you wish to work on. For example "fear of being in enclosed spaces".

how will I be regressed? You will be seated and guided into a light meditative state. In this state you will be able to hear and speak during your session.

are regressions recorded? yes; you will be sent an email of your recording. If you do not have an email address then you will be posted a CD.

what can I expect from a reading? each person's experience is unique, in some cases strong messages will come from loved ones from the other side, information may be passed on, proof of existence offered, however in all cases you will be left feeling empowered, heard and loved.

are readings evil or bad? before each reading Joanna asks her Guides and Angels to give her messages that are ONLY for that person's highest good and will. Her readings are done with love and compassion.

can I ask questions during a reading? absolutely! Questions are encouraged, feel free to bring some with you or you may ask as your reading progresses.

are readings taped? no, Joanna does not tape her readings as she wants you to concentrate on not only the words that are given but the feelings and energy around your reading. You may however, bring a notebook and take notes.

how can I make the most of my reading? being open is the best thing you can do to ensure you receive all the messages that are there for you. By not engaging with Joanna and waiting for her to "pass the test" will waste your valuable time. If you are not comfortable in the first 5 minutes then you are free to leave at no cost to you. Still not convinced? Then please read what others have said about their reading.
