Since the beginning of my pregnancy, I felt worried about my pregnancy and the baby’s health. What should be the happiest moment of my life was making me anxious and burnt out with exhaustion and fear. In a few reiki treatments, Sera helped me to understand why I was picking up these fears, and that my anxiety was linked to something which happened earlier that year - and she cleared it out. Subsequently every session has enhanced my pregnancy journey, making me feel more peaceful and more balanced - mentally, physically and energetically. I felt that every reiki session made me stronger, more grounded, and more connected to my baby as well. Reiki has been an extraordinary tool for me and my baby during my pregnancy and I am looking forward to continuing the sessions until the birth and in postpartum. Restoring balance and life-force-energy during that very special moment of a woman’s life is definitely helping me to feel more peaceful, safe and supported.

I can truthfully say that my life has been deeply transformed by the practice of reiki healing, both personally and professionally. When I met Sera, I had been in China for more than 8 years. As a gynecologist, my views about health had already been profoundly changed by the practice of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) when I was trained as an acupuncturist in Beijing. At the time, I had many cases of long-standing infertility coming to me for treatment, and acupuncture alone, or together with my “usual” Western care, completely transformed the prognosis of those cases.

I went to see Sera at a very difficult time in my personal life. I can say her reiki treatments have helped me overcome and grow from strong psychological pain. But more interestingly, she convinced me that reiki training would help me do my job as a doctor and a mindfulness meditation instructor better, while protecting my own wellbeing.

​

I started my training as a reiki practitioner in early 2018, and really began giving treatments in April 2019. From the beginning of the training, from the first attunement in fact, my understanding of what human life and human health really were about was turned upside down. As a rational and no-nonsense scientist, from a scientific family, I did not believe in any transcendence or in any god, the word soul meant nothing but poetry to me, I needed hard scientific proof to start using any new treatment or method. Only the scientific backing of the effects of mindfulness meditation on stress allowed me to start practicing and teaching it.

​

The encounter with TCM (also an energy medicine) started changing that, but the physical body was still at the center of my care and attention. Reiki training further transformed everything I do. Now I administer acupuncture with my hands, and look for spiritual and emotional causes to all dis-eases. Whether it be infertility, endometriosis, burn-out or cancer, I know that many intricate causes resulted in the disease and all need to be addressed if a patient is to ever be cured. Hormones or chemotherapy alone will only treat a symptom, if the root cause is not identified and cared for, the disease will recur. Reiki, as TCM, is also a very efficient prevention method of care. Western medicine understands very little about what prevention really entails. Diet, sleep and exercise do help the body stay healthy, but they do not suffice. For me and my patients now, the best treatment recipe is a balanced mix of Western and energy medicine. I give myself a reiki self-treatment nearly every day, and treat my whole family regularly. When my father got sick with cancer early 2021, I immediately added reiki to his prescribed radiotherapy; at 99 yo, reiki helps him tolerate conventional treatments and has clearly increased his chances of living a longer and better-quality life.

 

I am forever grateful to have encountered Sera and reiki in my life. I totally trust the power of this approach to complement Western medicine. And I now view my mission as being a bridge between these two worlds, as passing-on what I was lucky to receive, to every soul I meet.

Reiki with Sera is always a wonderful, deeply relaxing and, above all, transforming experience.

Especially during my pregnancy, Reiki with Sera was able to give me deep confidence in my body, which gave me a very relaxed and beautiful pregnancy. Sera introduced me to the spiritual team that is active during pregnancy and childbirth. The team gave me so much stability and security, and even today after the birth of my daughter, I rely on this team every day. I am convinced by the fact that with Reiki I had a pregnancy without any complications and that I had a feeling of security and deep trust even after the birth.

I practice reiki since 2019. Early 2020 I received a great news. My wife was pregnant! Funny enough I was not so surprised. I knew I would have a daughter and 9 months after... my daughter came. 

During the pregnancy of my wife, we faced several challenges. Moving flat, health challenges for my wife and anxiety. Reiki was always a time for me to calm down, ground myself and also feel my baby. Everytime I was putting my hand on the belly of my wife I felt her presence. It also gave my wife better sleep and better health when I gave her treatments. The delivery went well. I drew the reiki symbols on her belly before delivery and it went fast. Since one year, my daughter never got sick and we have a very strong connection. I can calm her down when she is upset and intuitively guess what she wants. In my experience it is not true that mum has more connection than dad with their babies. Several studies show that actually the dad can also create that bond with their babies. Reiki is a fantastic way to facilitate that process. I highly recommend the dads who want to connect well with their babies to try. You would not regret it.

I became pregnant with my first child, at the age of 37, and at the start of COVID-19, in Shanghai, China.

I was away from my family in the US and trying to navigate a different healthcare system and lessen the fear surrounding labor and delivery that mainstream media projects.  I am so grateful for Sera as a teacher. For the powerful meditation she provided me with throughout my pregnancy.  Whenever doubt or fear would creep into my mind, I would turn to the words that Sera shared. This meditation brought the love and light I needed to relax and enjoy every precious moment with my growing little one. I remember once I thought that I could not feel my baby moving.  It was in the middle of the night.  It had been a few hours since I last sensed her last movements.  Deeply scared, I went to the couch in my living room.  My cats and dogs surrounded me.  I started visualizing and saying pieces of the meditation Sera had shared.  After a few moments, I felt a kick, and a tear of joy ran down my cheek.  My little one was supported by so many, which made me feel joyful and grateful.  During my labor and delivery, the guides in this pregnancy meditation were also present during my daughter’s birth.  I felt safe, secure, and protected.  My doctor even wrote me a letter after, describing my daughter’s birth as a “happy and smooth” one.  I will forever be thankful for the tools Sera gave me to welcome our beautiful child to this world.

I first met Sera a few years after some very heartbreaking pregnancy losses and had began trying to come to terms with never being a Mum. The first day I met Sera, she picked up on all of my previous fears and emotions, and I was amazed with how she picked specific months and years that corresponded with major events in my life. I left the first session feeling lighter than I had in years. I continued with reiki sessions and dealing with my past emotions, which had caused many blockages for me. 18 months after meeting Sera and with her help to regain balance,  I discovered that I was expecting my little boy - having been through ivf to conceive years before becoming naturally pregnant was a shock in itself, and I hadn’t even been considering it as a possibility at that time. Immediately I felt an unbelievable fear of what could go wrong and made an appointment with Sera. She helped me through the pregnancy and kept me feeling hopeful and remembering my past experiences were just that. I felt more connected with my baby and more happy and secure in myself after each treatment. I continued to see Sera after having my son and remember she told me a new baby would come when it was ready, I say that writing this 6 months pregnant with my second little miracle. I really believe that Sera and her reiki sessions supported me in becoming grounded and finding the balance that I needed in order to conceive and have a family, and I will always be so grateful for that.

Reiki has helped me understand and put into perspective past experiences, embrace the uncertainty of life and future experiences, and achieve a level of peace and calmness I have never experienced before. Professionally, I benefit from the peace in my personally life. I also use the tools Sera taught me to stay balanced and reduce stress in a demanding and intense profession.

Working with Sera has helped across many areas of my life - both personally and professionally. As a result of working with Sera I experienced a big improvement in my ability to manage my work life balance and the stress that came from a high pressure job. Sera helped me to better understand myself, think clearer and also read others around me. I also noticed that I now make better judgments, manage my team better and am less reactive to challenges around me.

I work in the advertising industry and am constantly racing against time to stay on top of everything while still trying to accomplish what I want to do day in day out and also trying to have a semblance of a personal life...Reiki with Sera as well as Meditation has been my go to solutions to bring everything down a notch in my life and in my mind. It helps me focus and be more efficient but just requires taking the couple of hours here or there to do something different and focus on myself.

When I met Sera back in 2014, I was at some kind of very low point in my life. I was living in some kind of mild yet persistent depressive state. I heard about Sera through a friend and at first I started meeting her as a therapist. I was quite struck by the quality of her insight which allowed me to rapidly come to grip with some deep issues. Each time I went to see her I felt lighter and more energetic, so there was no question from that point; I started weekly sessions to keep gaining clarity.

Sera is an exceptional person, a great healer, a very skilled practitioner and a talented certified Reiki teacher. She is also a very “human” person who really cares about others without ego, with honesty and integrity. Sera always takes the time to listen, understand and find the appropriate words to help you become yourself and find yourself and secondly Sera genuinely cares about ‘you’ and really knows where & what your congestions/issues are and she guides you on how to work on yourself.

I've done Reiki and Meditation trainings with Sera. The environment she creates is open, warm, and non-judgemental (and at times quite humorous). Her guidance and supervision are filled with intuition as well as compassion and she seems to know when a student - whether giving or receiving a treatment - needs her extra presence. Additionally, she knows the right questions to ask to aid healing and always respects the dignity of those she is healing or teaching. A safe place to learn and share.

On a spiritual level, Reiki really showed the pure way to peace for me. Especially now that I could provide the “help” to people I really care very much (friends, especially family) that I am always away from, it transformed my spiritual development completely as doing good to my loved ones brought goodness to me. Exactly one year after completing the DPA Meditation course, I was feeling great about my physical body and I could embrace the weaknesses, also nourish myself with what my body needs.

The Energetic Map Shifting Courses have been the most impactful on a personal level and infinitely useful on a professional level. It is clear that once you step on this path as a Reiki healer, many subtle and compelling shifts are to be expected. I have the utmost respect for Sera as a teacher. She is sincere, warm and compassionate as well as deeply centered, with great integrity. Knowing Sera and studying with her is a gift that I truly cherish, as I know how precious a teacher like her is and how rare it is to encounter such a soul.

Sera is an amazing inspiration and truly embodies what it means to be an authentic teacher. I am forever grateful for all the shifts and for having the opportunity to call her my teacher and to learn from her. There are no words to describe the transformations that have occurred - in my own personal life, in practice and in the quality of healing and teaching I offer - after having attended courses with Sera... It is always an expanding experience and I constantly continue to look forward to the next courses and sessions with her to further develop on this path.

Sera continues to develop programs for professional Reiki Masters and having a circle of mentorship and support with her at the helm is really helpful, and is a very unique offering among Reiki teachers. Things are not always smooth on the path to dismantling old patterns and shifting to new consciousness, neither it is clean-cut and know-it-all when we practice Reiki professionally – but with her academy and the circle of highly sensitive Reiki masters I feel even more confident in my abilities and grateful we get to support each other and share experiences.

The amount of care and love that Sera puts into explaining and guiding her students into discovering their own Reiki paths is unparalleled to others.  She does not do this for fame or fortune, but rather with pure intention and healthy guidance. With Sera you will find a pure and honest teacher who will work with you in establishing a healthy Reiki progression as you begin to discover all the universe has in store for you.

I had the incredible opportunity to have Sera Shivnan as my Reiki teacher. During all the Reiki training sessions and workshops with her, she made me feel very comfortable and gave me continued support to grow as a Reiki Master. I'm forever grateful for the impact she and Reiki had on my life.

When I was going through a challenging moment of my life, the universe magically connected me through Sera and I experienced the life changing magic of Reiki. Thanks to this experience, I felt inspired to give back to my community what Reiki provided me and I took Reiki training with Sera. I do love working with her, her warm presence and pure heart makes me feel safe, worthy, understood and loved. She is such a gift to our community.

Facing the unknown is not easy. When you meet Sera and Reiki, the unknown is there…but she makes you feel warm and very comfortable. Sera is the most amazing welcoming teacher and practitioner that you can find. She has only one thing in mind, which is to help people, and to spread the lovely white light. Helping others is easier said than done, but Sera goes the extra mile to make sure that everybody gets the light. She will help you discover yourself and align your soul like no other. She cares. She is second to none, period

From time to time, we are drawn towards something without ever really knowing why, and that was the case for me and Reiki. Luckily, I was living in Shanghai during this time and found Sera. From my first Reiki session and Reiki 1 training, I knew I couldn’t turn back on the path I had started without Sera as a teacher. She also keeps her groups small so she can listen to what you have to say. Spiritual growth and emotional healing is not easy and fortunately, Sera is here to help guide you through it every step of the way like she did (and continues to do!) with me.

Sera is a very tactful, sensitive and powerful teacher. She always makes sure that the person is connected to Source through the attunement and that every student is getting their needed experiences to get to the next level. The group is always small, which makes your education very individualized and that makes it all even more valuable. I’m very grateful to you, Sera, for all your love and devotion to what you do.
