Testimonials for 2007
"Thank you so much for the reiki training session. I had such an amazing time, and found it very strange to have so many tears without feeling sad. Obviously something very deep was being dealt with! Also that weird experience with the flowers – it seemed I was so close to them in every way – I feel I really bonded with them! I use the reiki method for the plants in the office, and they are flourishing!
It’s a truly wonderful experience, both the teaching session and the work that I have done since then. I can’t thank you enough and I have decided to go further and take the reiki 2nd degree with you."
Shelley Gillard, South London
"I just wanted to say a big, big thank you for the Reiki level 1 course on Saturday. As a teacher you really put me at ease before each attunement and guided me through the postures and what to expect. However I loved the way you encouraged me to express my personal experiences during the session as it has really helped me develop my own intuitive relationship with the healing power of Reiki. As a result of your teachings I have felt an overall boost in my physical and emotional well-being and noticed how I feel better equipped to deal with the stresses and strains of everyday life. I love being able to channel this energy for healing sessions with my friends and family and feel truly blessed that you helped me to achieve this. It is evident from these workshops and the knowledge you impart that you have a strong commitment to teaching Reiki for the benefit of others and your enthusiasm and mastery of Reiki is inspiring to your pupils! Thanks also for making yourself available to answer my questions after the course and I look forward to completing Reiki level 2!"
Sarah Thomas, South London
"I thoroughly enjoyed my reiki stage 2 with Kay. She was very patient and flexible. This was great as my reiki 1 had been done by a different reiki master who did not go into as much detail and information as perhaps Kay provides. I really enjoyed all the different methods we practiced in my reiki 2, this allowed me to find the methods that suit me best which built my confidence in using reiki on others."
Anna Thompson, South London
"I just thought I would write a few (well okay a lot!)words to let you know how I have been progressing since my level 1 attunements. after spending a fantastic day with you I went home with several thousand things buzzing through my head.. I left my partner the very next day after two years of heartache I truly felt that I could now 'go it alone'. I moved out and put my house on the market. Met a wonderful person that is very supportive of what was once called my 'wierdy stuff'. Ive just this afternoon received an offer on my house after it being on the market a few days (crossed fingers) and am preparing to start my journey into the world of Reiki and alternative therapies by using the proceeds to fund me further on my journey.. Reiki certainly does move in mysterious ways, im happier and much more confident, I trust my instinct so much more than I ever did, I am no longer using medication for anything and I am able to impart the most beautiful calm on nearly every situation I come up against. I have been practicing Reiki on anyone I can lay hands on for long enough, the dog loves me! (she suffered terrible nervousness.. getting better by the day) and I am truly feeling a great sense of calm. Thank you Kay, you have enabled me to see there is so much more to life than the daily druge! Much love to you, and hopefully I will see you very soon for level 2."
Gemma Dallas, South London
"I just wanted to send you a little note to say how much I enjoyed Saturday. The group was lovely and the way you facilitated the experience and led the day was perfect for me. It's stange, I'm not sure what I expected but I haven't had an hysterical crying session (yet!). I do feel kind of 'different' though in a way I can't quite put my finger on :) I think I generally feel lighter and more positive - I feel like a change has occured in me, caused by a small but significant shift!"

"Kay was delightful! I thoroughly enjoyed my shoden with her. The level of training was excellent and the day went by really quickly in the friendly and comfortable and relaxed environment she created. Really happ and will definitely be doing my 2nd level!!"

Testimonials for 2009
“I found the handbook and CDs really interesting and helpful so that when I attended the course it felt comfortable and quite natural.
Receiving the empowerments was a peaceful experience and it was lovely to then be able to move this forward in practice. Enjoyed working with my partner for the day and to be able to ‘feel’ the different energy patterns.
It was good to be learning in such a small group, which meant we were able to interact and share experiences. Found Kay to be a lively and empathic teacher and hope to be able to do the Second Degree training with her.”
Leila Boyer, London, April 2009
"I loved your approach to teaching Reiki. I think its an excllent idea to send course materials beforehand so that students can get acquianted with the background and philosophy of Reiki before the live course. They are then able to participate in discussions there and then rather than being "lectured."
The live course was well delivered by Kay in a lovely relaxed atmosphere which encouraged my learning. The course manual was well set out and informative. All in all an excellent course - looking forward to advancing onto the Second Degree."
Louise Savage, Kent, June 2009
"I have just completed the Reiki First Degree (Shoden) live course in Beckenham with Kay Gillard. I felt well prepared for the live training day as I had received the comprehensive manual and CD in advance which was fantastic as I was able to work through it at my leisure. I found the manual very easy to work through as it is well written with lots of clear illustrations which is really helpful. I like the fact that it also includes other people's experiences of Reiki. The CD is also a brilliant idea, I've downloaded it onto my Ipod and listen to it regularly.
I must admit I was a bit nervous before attending the live training day but Kay is an excellent teacher who instantly put me at ease; she gave me lots of support and encouragement throughout and helped to build my confidence and before I knew it was actually doing Reiki! It was a wonderful day and it has really confirmed to me that Reiki is going to be a big part of my life. I feel like I am on a journey now and I definitely hope to be able to go on to the Second Degree course very soon!"
Caroline Jaroudy, Kent, July 2009
"The course I attended with Kay was fantastic! We went through the material on the course and were surprised by some of the outcomes. All in all a wonderful teacher who I am looking forward to working with again, and a beautiful person."
Leonora Harris, London, October 2009
"Kay is a great teacher and is very personable. I liked that there were only four attendees on the course. The manual and CDs are great - so far I have used the CD daily. I have been very impressed from the day I booked the course to receiving my certificate today! My sister and a friend are going to enrol with Reiki Evolution following my recommendation.
I know it is only over a week since I attended first degree but I will certainly be booking to do the 2nd degree. Thank you for the great experience!"
Diana Robertson, Kent, November 2009
"The Reiki Master Teacher course which I attended over the last two weekends was fabulous, and it brought together lots of components from the previous two courses and was the final piece in the jigsaw to many unanswered questions. The Western style attunement process was interesting to see how it differs to the pure empowerments and, although I may be biased as I prefer the simplistic approach, by doing the Western style one as well it reinforced that the Reiki Evolution programme is much purer and simpler than its convoluted counterpart. Kay has a deep understanding of Reiki as well as other alternative therapies and systems which makes her a keen and knowledgeable teacher. Kay is also very approachable and helpful in sharing tricks and tips from her experience which have helped her."
Nikki Killen, London, November 2009
"I just wanted to drop you a line to say thank you so much for the course on Sunday. I thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience and learned a lot. The attunements were very special and I came away with a real desire to work with the energy myself and to see how I can use it at work.
I have used the meditations on the disc each day and found them enormously calming, and hope with more practice my concentration level will improve so my mind won't wander as much. I particularly found on Monday evening after a long day at work the meditation really helped to de-tress from a busy day and calm my mind which is often in overdrive after a work day and also it helped me let go of some of the emotional energy that has tends to cling and build up.
Thanks again for a great day and I am already looking forward to level 2 !!!"
