"Ellen is very calm and sure and sensitive to her students. The way she teaches makes it easy to learn and inspirational in the sense that her whole temperament is Reiki. She is Reiki. She instills the oriental way of the mystique and the humility in her presentation. It is a powerful experience!"
James Caruso, New Paltz, New York
"When I first met Ellen, in 1991, we talked and drank tea. After a few minutes I felt myself totally immersed in a pool of Reiki. Since then Ellen’s connection to Reiki has gotten even deeper, stronger, purer.
A strong sense of community moves through her always. She’s amazing!”
Brian Streett, Reiki Master, Jerusalem, Israel
