Testimonials

A safe & supportive space

Here’s how clients have experienced profound healing and personal growth through my services.

I am writing to you to first thank you for the most amazing experience, this was the first time I have ever been to a medium, the experience was very overwhelming , Ingrid was able to get my Zaida (grandfather) who passed away a very long time ago. The things she told me I was oh my g-d Ingrid knows nothing about me or my family, and I was very impressed. I will definitely go and see her again, she knows what she is doing, you are a star.

I have been doing reiki sessions for just over 2 years now, and have found it has altered my life in a very positive way, I began reiki sessions with Ingrid 6 months ago, as I found her very reasonably priced and I experienced a great connection with her, this kind of healing can be very costly, and very flexible for my busy and rapidly changing schedule. I have been suffering with lower back problems for over 3 years now, and Ingrid suggested trying Jikiden reiki treatment on my lower back, initially I experienced pain and stiffness, however soon followed by relief and ease of pain, I found after 2 sessions that my back had completely released. I have been unable to continue therapy since then to complete the treatment, however I have found when my back does tense up it is not a bad as it was before.

I had a lovely experience which left my inner being in a tranquil state. I feel light, rejuvenated and ready to begin a new chapter of my life. The reason I made an appoitment for the treatment was mainly for pampering myself on my birthday, little did I know that you would amongst other things convey a message from my deceased mother whom you made me aware of her presence from the beginning of the session. I'm grateful for the experience and I thank you for welcoming me with such kindness.

I had been going through a very tough time in my life. My energy was totally depleted and whatever energy I had left, was negative. I was pushing people close to me away. I needed to do something, but I knew that going to a doctor would get me nowhere. I would be told that there is nothing wrong with me, maybe even ended up with a pill of sorts for good measure. A friend of mine suggested reiki therapy. Being an anaesthetist, and quite scientifically minded, I was a bit sceptical. I was however curious about this alternative healing. Ingrid was amazing, talking me through everything so that my scientific mind could make some sense of it all. She scanned me with her hands, picking up ailments that I did not even mention. She worked with my energy and reiki energy fields. Afterwards I felt much lighter, and somehow energised to start thinking more positively. I cannot explain it, but it was quite mind blowing. I would definitely recommend this to anybody in need of a new way of healing.
