“You’re a great teacher with a wicked sense of humour. I’ve enjoyed the last few months. 😊”  KM, via LinkedIn, January 2023.
“I’ve had Tracey take me through Reiki level 1 and 2 qualifications and really enjoyed both my courses. Both times were on a 1 to 1 basis so I was fully relaxed and able to ask questions as and when they came to me. Feedback could also very much be tailored to me which has been beneficial to my Reiki practice on myself and others. Felt like the sky is the limit with how much I could learn from Tracey and looking forward to doing more courses in the future.  Thanks Tracey x”  PJ via FB, January 2023.
