Student quote:
“This class was a blessing. Veronique is knowledgeable, insightful, and has a very pleasant energy. The four-week course was well rounded and allowed me to fully appreciate the information between classes. The student portal has also been a valuable resource in my continued practice. Although there will always be much more to learn I feel this class was truly a pivotal point in my spiritual journey. I look forward to my Level 2 training.” – Alexandra
“This class was exactly what I needed, and something I was looking forward to every week. Veronique’s style of teaching and sharing is loving, knowledgeable, and accessible. Reiki taught me about “holding space” and the importance of moment-by-moment presence and awareness. By the end of Level I I felt confident in practicing on myself, friends and family. I highly recommend it. Moreover, the environment at the Japanese Institute is calm, clean, and serene, perfect for learning.” – Laura B.
