“A year ago, I was at a real crossroads with my business brand and work I was doing. Since taking Linda’s Energy Healing programs and practicing Reiki on myself, I’m feeling more confident doing what my heart is telling me.
The biggest thing I’ve realized is just how sensitive I am. That I have a gift. Reiki has taught me that it starts with me, that I am the example and have to be practicing it myself. I love the formula for a prayer that I learned in Linda’s class. I pre-pave my day where I visualize how I want the day to go and I put all of that in the prayer. I give thanks in advance for the day and being of service to my clients.
I changed my business name and started specializing in just one type of facial. Once I shifted, all the top clients started coming to me in droves and then I won The Skin Games, Esthetician of the Year Award.
Each day I am able to be more in the present. I am calmer, less critical of myself and therefore I am less critical of other people. My client relationships have improved because they walk out of their facial with something they didn’t expect…a healing. Reiki has helped me tune into the subtleties of energy and realize that there is so much magic in the world.” Amy Wall, Love Amy Skin Care, Mendocino, CA

“A year ago I had hit rock bottom in my life. I had just gone through a terrible relapse with alcohol. My marriage was in shambles. My business was suffering. I was a mess and I had no idea how to get myself out of such a dark place.

I decided to try a Reiki treatment. It was an amazing and intense experience. I wanted more of this feeling, so I sign-up for [Linda Bertaut’s] Reiki 1 [and 2] training.

Since this training my life has changed dramatically. I have over a year of sobriety. And I feel that I finally have the tools and the power to change my life and help people change their lives as well. I started rebranding my business, changing my service menu, making over my website, shifting towards holistic treatments and services. I began to feel confident that I was doing the right thing.

In one year, my life and business have done a complete turn-around. I used to measure success only monetarily. Now I define success as having good and healthy relationships. I have rebuilt my personal and business relationships, I have more referrals, I have new clients and I could not be happier. With my clients, it is love all day long! I have clients tell me ‘Wow! There’s something about you. You are glowing!’

There’s nothing more gratifying, than to know that I’ve been given this beautiful gift and that I can share it and watch the magic happen with my clients. If your heart is calling out for change, it’s time for a change. Linda Bertaut’s Reiki training is a great way to tap into your intuition, there is always room for growth!”  Elvira Luqman, Original Skin Care, Clovis, CA, @originalskincareclovis

I have always been sheepish and shy about saying that I’m a healer. And now, with having learned Reiki 1 and 2 with Linda Bertaut, I have the clarity and confidence to say that I am a healer.

When I do the Reiki treatment, I feel so in awe—the only expectation I have is that I know my clients are going to be 100% balanced. The experience is different from client to client, and I feel joyful and excited to hear about what their experience was. I joke that it’s like magic, but no, it’s intentional, vibrational energy healing work. It’s beautiful.

Since learning to practice Reiki, I have added Reiki to my business, with great success. Clients are seeing the difference, they’re feeling the difference, and they want more, and I’m happy to give.

On a personal level, since taking the class I feel more confident in my gift, in my abilities as an esthetician. I feel as though it has helped me be clear about what my path is, which is to do healing work.

Linda is the most amazing and gifted Reiki Master. I had training 8 years ago that fell flat with me. Linda’s teaching was different—it resonated with me at such a gut level. It was like “Yes, yes, this is what I wanted.” The way that she teaches Reiki to practice it in an esthetic practice was key. But, still, her teaching is so much more. She gave us tangibles, she gave us very particular movements and treatments. It was so rich and so full. If I had any advice for other healers in the beauty industry, it would be, Don’t compare yourself to others. We all have our innate gifts that we give in our treatments. Just do the work and trust.”  Laura Edwards, Laura’s Skin Care and More, Fair Oaks, CA, @lauraedwardsskincarestudio
