Life changing. Through energy healing I have been able to have create new patterns within myself and situations in my life. I’ve released guilt, double in confidence, and increased in joy and gratitude. I have had breakthroughs in relations with others and with myself. I have felt more spiritually connected and physically grounded than I have in years. 

Your life does not change until you change on the inside. And our memories, emotional patterns and habits don’t stop at our brains. They are in our bodies also, and through Reiki I have experienced the reshaping, letting, and redefining of thoughts and patterns that I didn’t even know were there. Things that were not conscious, not even subconscious, deeper than that. It it as though I have been able to redefine the substructure of my being in accordance with my true self. 

I came in skeptical but in many ways desperate. I had been working on parts of myself for a long time and there were certain things I wasn’t breaking through with. Then, with reiki I discovered problems I didn’t even know where there. But what is so wonderful is, once they were discovered they were released. Like meeting a stranger for the first time as they wave goodbye.

If there is anything inside you, that you feel helpless about and you want to change. I would recommend reiki. Bring an open heart and an open mind. If your experience is anything like mine you will soon be walking through doors you felt could never have been open. I am so grateful to Melanie and my friends who recommended her and her practice. So this testimonial is my humble attempt to pay that forward to someone else also journeying to live life as their truest self. Namaste.  ~ Chad T.

After going thru several channels of "conventional " medicine, with no relief, I decided to give Reiki a try. After all, what could it hurt? Best decision I've ever made. To be able to go from a tense, painful state to peace is amazing. When you are in pain, it's not just a physical thing. It also effects your state of mind. Having this experience is kind of hard to describe. It's a feeling of peace and relaxation combined with pure energy. Whether you have a physical injury or your soul just needs to be recharged, you should set up a session with Melanie. Best decision I've ever made. And will continue Reiki therapy sessions with our wonderfully talented, Melanie Jackson. ~ Carrie W.

I had a few Reiki sessions years ago in Maine and have always been fascinated with energy healing. It’s so well known and practiced in New England and many hospitals actually offer it to their patients.
My session with Melanie was amazing. By nature she is a very kind and warm person, which made it very easy to relax and feel comfortable. In fact, I drifted off to sleep more than a few times.
The energy flow was surprising and strong at times- and I definitely felt better than I did before my visit. After the session Melanie gave me some insights on how to improve my health & energy. I look forward to making some changes in my health and going back for more sessions in the future!
Thanks for bringing Reiki to this area. ~ Jana P.

I was not sure what to expect from my first session of Reiki at Touch of Reiki, but it was a truly wonderful experience! Not only did I discover some blockages in my personal life that needed attention, but I went in with a painful hip socket that was completely better the following day. That was the best part, that healing took place both physically AND energetically. I highly recommend Melanie! ~ Kelly D.

I recently attended a yoga festival, where I had the opportunity to try Reiki for the first time. I can certainly say it was an invigorating experience! Mrs. Jackson said, she could do it on the massage table or the Gravity chair. I chose the Gravity chair, she did a mini fifteen Reiki session and, it felt like I was getting a massage without anyone touching me! I am looking forward to scheduling a full session with Mrs. Jackson.

I have heard of Reiki but have never had the experience until this past October. Melanie Jackson explained what she would be doing, allowed me to ask questions and, she explained the answers in terms that I would understand. I did not expect the heat sensation that I felt in my legs, ankle and feet, the parts of my body that were really hurting for several days. I really did not know what to expect but, I can honestly say my body did not hurt for a couple of days after the mini Reiki session! I can only imagine how much better I will feel when I have the full session. ~ Dickie S.

Melanie Jackson and I have discussed Reiki several times over the years but my first experience with Reiki was at a Yoga Festival, where Melanie was a vendor. I finally decided that I should try this holistic form of healing. My arthritis in my back and knees were at an almost full flair up and, it seemed like my medication was not working at peak level. I did not really expect the sensations that I had, after only a few moments! She laid her hands on my head and I had the tingling feeling all over and then the warmth sensation. I was so relaxed during this mini Reiki session and I felt like I was resting on the low setting of the heating pad. I was in less pain and felt like I had more energy over the next few days. If you have not tried Reiki, please contact Melanie Jackson and let her explain Reiki to you, I cannot wait for my full session! ~ Bonnie S.

I think I am still in shock as to how my horses reacted when Melanie came out to share Reiki with them. I really had no idea or expectations of whether or not his would even work to help integrate my new horse into the “herd.” Melanie quietly stood at the pasture fence and meditated. My gelding Jax strolled over to check her out and then ran back into the pasture. One by one the others came to the fence to check her out. One nuzzled her, one hung her head over the fence, and one literally leaned his whole body into it. Finally, that left only Jax and my new mare, Aspen; he slowly walked her over with the others. Brining her into the group. Everything and everyone were calm and at peace. When she was done, Melanie greeted each horse and gave then nose rubs. Since then, there has been peace in the stable as well as the pasture! I will certainly have her come back for regular sessions. Thank you!! ~ Nick F.

Even after having Melanie use Reiki on myself I was amazed when she used Reiki on my German Shepherd. Jasmine was so calm and seemed to enjoy what was happening. Jasmine usually doesn't do well with strangers but she even "booped" Melanie on the nose. Jasmine was so comfortable she laid down several times. I would recommend Melanie for human and animal Reiki. ~ Robin G.

My 10 year old lab, Sookie, has thoroughly enjoyed her sessions with Melanie. She has severe arthritis pain in her spine, knees, hips and low back and frequently limps. After spending an hour with Melanie she acts like a puppy again and hardly limps at all! Melanie takes her on a walk outside during the session if she needs it, provides her water and lots of love. Reiki has been a more effective therapy for Sookie beyond steroid shots she’s received at the vet, as well. I always feel peace knowing my baby is taken care of when I leave her in Melanie’s hands. ~ Rose A.

 From the moment I met Melanie I knew it was a blessing. I was looking for a Reiki session from anew and that could give me a different kind of healing. My session with her was amazing. She took her time to get to know me and my needs. Melanie’s knowledge drew me in and I knew then that I wanted to learn more healing techniques thru her, so when the opportunity came to take a class with her I knew I needed it. The Reiki 2 class was so organized and flowed like water in an open stream. I needed absolutely nothing but my want to learn. She provided everything for us in the class and that makes things so easy. I loved the open class with no restrictions.  I felt so comfortable sharing and asking questions. Although I had previously taken a Reiki 2 class elsewhere I’m truly pleased with my choice to tale Melanie’s class. I will definitely continue to take more classes with her. It’s a wonderful blessing to take a class from someone that is truly passionate and radiates the love of what she does. ~ Angel J.

My Level II Reiki Class reiju experience was informative and magical. I felt like I learned useful information to help me be a conduit of healing energy for myself and others. I am certain my awareness and sensitivity to energy has increased since receiving the attunements, based on the practice we did in class and the way I’ve felt energy. Since completing the course, my confidence level as a healer had increased and this is based largely on the energy, curriculum, and wisdom that Melanie offers. I am excited to continue learning from her and she makes a great teacher. I highly recommend any course offered by her. ~ Marcie S.
