TINA MARIE BERTOLI
Reiki started me on my spiritual path and has blessed my life in so many ways. The healing power of Reiki also opened the door for me to numerous other aspects of healing as well.
Being an Angel Therapist®, Medium and Licensed Spiritual Counselor, I communicate with your Angels and Spirit Guides to receive Divine Guidance for all aspects of your life. I channel messages of love, wisdom and healing from the Angelic and Ascended master Realms, deceased loved ones and pets. Along with being a Reiki Master Teacher, Certified Past Life and Crystal Healer, and an Integrated Energy Therapy Master Instructor, I teach counsel, and give intuitive readings and healings all over the world. It has truly been a gift and an honor to work in over 20 countries sharing about Reiki, the Angels, and Healing in general.
The Reiki energy helps me to remove blocks from your energy field, cleanse and balance your chakras, uncover limiting patterns and beliefs, and also assists me in receiving specific information to help you move forward on your spiritual path. I believe that we all have the innate ability to communicate with the angels and I help to open that door for all others by developing their own Divine Intuition. I feel that my mission is to bridge the gap between this world and the next by offering guidance, direction, comfort, and love to those in need.
I will always be grateful for the healing power of Reiki that has enhanced and blessed my life and opened me up to a higher vibration that I'm now able to share with others.

Reiki for animals can treat ailments that may be currently inhibiting your pet whether you notice it or not. It can reduce stress, relieve pain, headaches, stomach upsets, asthma, back problems, sinus, respiratory, canine hip dysplasia, anxiety and more. It can help abused and neglected animals. Animals respond faster than people and positive results are often seen in a shorter period of time.

Animals have named it Warrior Reiki! Ming also forms a very strong bond to everyone she gives healing to. Ming can intuitively hear and see your fur babies as well.

DECEMBER 2012 PRACTITIONER SPOTLIGHT
KELLY HANDYSIDE
My introduction into the world of Reiki was from a client 16 years ago. She offered me a session one day, and when I had to drive home after our session, in rush hour traffic, I felt soft, open, at peace, and almost in love with anyone who passed me by. My course in life had shifted after that session. Not only did I begin to study Reiki, I used it to help guide me in a shift from a career in teaching dance at the University of Michigan, to starting a private practice in massage therapy/ CranioSacral Therapy.
As time has passed, I have found that Reiki had guided me on a wonderful journey into the world of bodywork/ manual therapy. I am now in my 12th year of private practice offering CranioSacral Therapy, Visceral Manipulation, Brain Therapy & Massage Therapy. I work with babies in utero, infants, pediatrics, adults and seniors. I am continually amazed with the cases and clients I attract to my office for reasons I sometimes never know. Only that they are there to teach me something new, and I am to be a witness to their healing.
The time I spend with a client is always approached from a neutral space, with honor and respect to how they are in time and space at the moment we come together. I blend and offer whatever is needed for the client’s body to access their healing potential. I am continually grateful to provide and be a part of that space for the people I work with. Although I do not offer Reiki solely as a treatment, nor do I offer other modalities I’ve only trained in, Reiki is always present.
If I am not learning, teaching, practicing, feeling the work that I am “called” to do, I am nurturing, playing, dancing and learning about life with my two lovely children.

LISA GUYMAN
I’ve been teaching and practicing Reiki for over 14 years. I’ve taught over 800 students and I continue to be amazed at the transformative power of Reiki. It’s a sacred healing art.
As one of my colleagues says: “Reiki is real. It’s safe. And it works.”
When I took my first Reiki course in 1997 I wasn’t sure if I felt anything. In the meditations and Reiki attunements I felt relaxed, but I didn’t experience anything that I would call mystical or metaphysical. I didn’t feel a whole lot in giving or receiving Reiki over the course of the workshop, but I trusted that it was real.
Several days after the workshop, a new massage client scheduled with me. While she was writing me a check in the reception area I said “I’ll also be offering Reiki.” I was stunned when she requested a session right then and there, but she did! I reluctantly agreed while explaining to her that I just had completed my workshop on the weekend and I didn’t know what I was doing yet. I was relieved that I had my Reiki manual in the treatment room. I glanced at it from time to time over the course of her one-hour Reiki treatment.
She loved the session! She scheduled another Reiki and Massage session for two weeks away and came to me every other week for the next two years for a two-hour Reiki and massage session! This is why I tell my students it’s important to do the work and then the confidence will follow.
This experience inspired me to continue my education in Reiki. I began teaching Reiki workshops eighth months later!
I also teach meditation and believe that meditation is truly the foundation for all spiritual work, for all healing work. My meditation journey began when I was 16 and took a weekend meditation course. Meditation has been a thread throughout my life. And in 2004 I was lead to study at The Chopra Center and become certified as Primordial Sound Meditation Instructor.
I am certified Reiki Master/Teacher and is registered with the International Association of Reiki Professionals (IARPReiki.org) and also also certified as a Seven Spiritual Laws of Success Yoga Instructor through The Chopra Center.
I offer meditation and Reiki classes in Colorado and Michigan. My recorded works have been featured in Body +Soul Magazine, Massage Magazine, Massage & Bodywork Magazine, and New Age Music.nu.
My guided Meditation CDs and Reiki CDs include:
Looking forward to connecting with you!

MARLOWE KING
Greetings everyone!
My name is Marlowe King and I have been a Reiki practitioner for 15 wonderful years! I was introduced to this amazing art 17 years ago when my colicky infant needed help. Not a single doctor could offer any advice that benefited my child or myself. After giving up with doctors of Western Medicine, I had the fortune of meeting a gentle young man through a mutual friend. The man asked if he could hold my son, and I witnessed a divine connection, the likes of which I had never seen. I was immediately drawn to this energy; to this light. The man explained that THIS is Reiki.
I became interested simply out of curiosity, never realizing the impact Reiki would have on my life. I soon became a bit infatuated with this energy and thus began my journey.
I have had the honor of training under 6 different masters and have received my Master/Teacher certificate from two of them. I completed a two year apprenticeship with a Master, and was fortunate to receive and give out about 100 attunements in a very short time.
From each Master I learned many different ways to work with Reiki and the Human Energy Field. I have been equipped with many different tools to help work with imbalances.
I also am a Massage Therapist. I graduated from Irene's School of Myomassology, in order to try and bring Reiki more into the "mainstream." I have a home studio in Seminole Hills of Pontiac. I'm always making house calls, and I'm ready for so much more. My clients seem to love the "Reiki Massage" best. This is a 90 minute session and includes the best of both massage and Reiki. My hands seem to take over and tell me what to do :)
I enjoy my work a great deal and have been blessed to have built a successful practice with many satisfied, healthy, repeat clients. I am always accepting new clients and have the flexibility to suit your schedule. My rates are very reasonable and I'm always looking for fellow practitioners to trade with.
