2011 Course Reviews . I really enjoyed this course. I managed to feel some very intense energy especially during the symbol meditations. I had a treatment on the day and came home and sorted out something which I had not until then, had the emotional strength to tackle. The instruction was excellent and the day had enough structure whilst remaining informal enough to allow us to feel confident in what we were learning. I honestly can't think of anything that could have improved the day. Thank you so much. Sue King, Cambridgeshire, January 2011 - Reiki 2nd Degree . I had a really wonderful day! Especially my first reiki practice session, which definately felt like a two-way treatment! I'd been having a rough couple of weeks before hand, but things have been better since and I'm sure it's the reiki!! I felt welcome, safe and comfortable with the reiki throughout the day. Thanks again! Wendy Vaughan, Wiltshire, February 2011 - Equine Reiki 1 . I have done a few courses now with Sarah and they were all fantastic, but I really enjoyed equine masters. Everything on the two days were brill everyone was so chilled out. The horses as usual were the stars they are amazing.thank you. There was a lot more to take in and learn over the two days but I really enjoyed empowering the horse and becoming the horse they were just amazing the feed back you got was great. Our trip to sue's yard was really good, working with different horses for the 1st time they also were amazing thank you Sue. Thank you Sarah for giving me so much enjoyment with our equine friends. Linda Carr, Scotland, March 2011 - Equine Reiki 3 . As usual I thoroughly enjoyed the course I can't believe how quickly it went I felt totally engaged throughout. The horses were wonderful to work with and I enjoyed the exercises. I particularly enjoyed going to the stables on the second day, it made it all feel very real and helps with your confidence. Marion King, Cambridgeshire, March 2011 - Equine Reiki 3 .  A lovely tranquil yard which enabled me to easily concentrate on the Reiki practical sessions. The horses were very receptive and 'eager' to be practiced on. I thought that they would be more than suitable for less experienced people with horses as they were quiet and calm and would put a nervous person at ease. I was surprised how easily I tuned into the horses when doing the practical and how calm I felt afterwards. Initially it felt like they were giving me some calming energy back to help assist me!  It was useful to talk after each session to hear what other people experienced. It made me realise that we were all doing things correctly even though we experienced different images, feelings etc when you backed up our experiences in relation to the horses past etc. I didn't know how well I could go with my intuition and was surprised how I was pulled to certain areas or made aware that certain areas did not require Reiki by listening to the horse. A truly uplifting experience and can't wait for the Equine Reiki 2 course in May. Angie Morris, Warwickshire, March 2011 - Equine Reiki 1 . I hung on to this review because I wanted to write something worthwhile, But the only thing I can say is this course was utterly brilliant. Thank you so much Sarah. Sue King, Cambridgeshire, March 2011 - Equine Reiki 1 . I thoroughly enjoyed the course on Basic Equine Reiki. Although I have been around horses all my life, I hadn't practised Reiki on a horse (I have only been attuned to level II since last summer), so it proved to be invaluable to be 'guided' in how to practise. It was also interesting to be taught a different Reiki method and so has broadened my practise generally. The horses at The Hacienda were all lovely and although obviously used to receiving healing, still gave me so much confidence by their reaction to the sessions (thank you Monty and Toby!) Although the day was structured, I felt there was plenty of time for open discussion and to share experiences and I didn't feel rushed during the practical sessions. I felt very honored and humbled to be given the opportunity to practise on such lovely 'clients' and I know how without doubt that my Reiki path is heading towards offering healing to horses first and foremost (along with the occasional canine!) I very much look forward to continuing my journey on the Advanced course. Jenny Coley, Leicestershire, April 2011 - Equine Reiki 1 . What another fantastic day on one of your courses!  You are obviously so incredibly gifted, yet you make everyone on your course feel included and that what they have to say is valuable. I always feel confident that I am guided and coached appropriately in a safe environment. Thank you so much again... Look forward to the next one Very best Karen Hughes, Cheshire, May 2011, Equine Reiki 2 . A most fantastic experience - truly amazing. It was very emotional for me to connect so well with the horses and the feeling of receiving back from them . Shall look forward to 2nd degree on 25th August! Many, many thanks Bernadette Hillewaert, May 2011 - Equine Reiki 1  .    I really enjoyed the course and will definately be booking more. The course is very well organised from the moment you book, during the course and after the course. Sarah is lovely, very down to earth and very friendly. She has a lovely teaching style and I would love to learn more. The horses are great, very well behaved and easy to approach for a Reiki treatment. I was touched at how much you get from a Reiki treatment for a horse, although you are the one giving the treatment. This course has also given me the confidence that I can make a difference, not only to humans but to horses too! Thank you Sarah for a fantastic course! Anna Catchpole, Norfolk, June 2011, Equine Reiki 1 .  Another brilliant day with Sarah and the horses. The only improvement that could be made! - "to slow down time" as the day goes by too quickly. I'm really looking forward to the Master course. All the best for the future Sarah Brenda Pullan, Yorkshire, May 2011 - Equine Reiki 2 . The day was great, there really isn't anything I could comment on that could have been better. The horses were amazing, the empowerments were very powerful. Thank you for a fantastic day and teaching me on how to handle horses in a gentle manner. What I've learnt will prove invaluable to me for the future. Michelle Shorthouse, Nottinghamshire, June 2011 - Equine Reiki 1 . A lovely day again, I really enjoyed it! Thanks again Wendy Vaughan, Wiltshire, August 2011 - Equine Reiki 2 . I found the course very intersting and thoroughly enjoyed it. I have been around horses all my life from ponies to racehorses, as I was born and bred on a farm and we had horses most of the time and I am sure you can feel a horses temperament as soon as you look over the stable door, you seem to get that feeling and I felt very safe amongst these equines. I liked the theory first and then going straight out to do the practical Reiki and I was very surprised at the reactions I was getting from the different horses. We had a different horse every time so every reaction was a new one. I do not think you can improve in what you are doing, everything seemed to run very smoothly and I am looking forward to the Master Practitioner Course in October. Thank you once again Pat Froud, Oxon, August 2011 - Equine Reiki 2 . I enjoyed the course immensely. There was a very friendly atmosphere and I was made to feel very comfortable and calm.  In the class room I found that working with people that cared made the lesson even more interesting. At one point in a lesson, we were looking at photographs of horses. One particular photograph that I choose made me feel very sad and emotional. I had made a connection with the horse that had been re-stabled and probably missed his friends.  I never thought I could make a connection like this with a horse.  It just showed the power of Reiki. The use of Reiki on a horse and how to handle the horse was taught to a high standard. I gave a Reiki treatment to a horse.  The horse invited me into her stable and her world. It made me feel exceptionally calm and privileged, knowing that the horse trusted me.  I was so pleased to see the horse receive the Reiki, and to see the horse so calm. At one point the horse laid down.  I never once felt unsafe working with the horses. The course in my opinion was a success, and was well worth the trip there. Thank you for such excellent tuition Peter Gospel, London, August 2011 - Equine Reiki 3 Thank you Sarah, I enjoyed the day very much and felt very safe around your horses. It was special - I felt I was attracted to their energy and we were communicating - I saw many different colours and even pictures in my head and enjoyed the peace. I have tummy/ gut problems and the lovely big grey horse was definately giving Reiki to me while free in the stable - I felt it coming up my legs up and out of my tummy! Now I have more confidence treating my own horse and my daughters horse and both have been very rewarding. Thank you Libby Brennan, Wiltshire, August 2011 - Equine Reiki 1 . In August this year I attended the Basic Equine Reiki Course at Epona. It was a wonderful day - Sarah was very welcoming, making us all feel comfortable with a refreshing cup of tea after some long journeys to the centre. Introductions amongst the group were friendly and informal and the size of the group gave everybody a turn to share experiences and ask questions, The 'energy' at the centre was beautifully happy and warmand extended beyond Sarah's thoughtful and kind approach, to the horses who in their individual ways were able to demonstrate that it is the 'here and now' that is important; particularly when trusting our intuition. Sarah provided everybody with a tour of the centre, introduced the horses and gave a good safety demonstration and tips for those who may not be familiar with working around horses. We were shown the hand positions for giving Reiki to horses and then able to immediately put them into practice, working individually with one of the horses. The energy exchanged when working closely with the horses is something I know we will always cherish from the day! The course has turned my feelings of perhaps I can also help horses I meet, into a knowledge that I can and should reach out with Reiki whenever I can... I am very much looking forward to the Advanced Course. Thank you Julie Brazier, Brighton, August 2011 - Equine Reiki 1 . As this was my fourth course run by Sarah it was obvious that I was greatly impressed by the previous three! This weekend was of the same excellent standard and I would not hesitate to recommend her courses for both human and equine Reiki. the Manual, CD's and DVd were most useful and covered all aspects of the RMT course fully, with lots of suggestions for deepening your Reiki practice afterwards. There was a great deal to learn and memorise but the audio and visual aids made it much easier to absorb than merely reading the  material would have done. Thank you, Sarah, for yet another very enjoyable and inspiring course. It was a very special time and I feel honoured to be one of your first RMT students! Elinor Mary Thomas, Yorkshire, September 2011 - Reiki Master Teacher . I found this to be an excellent course to further my development with animal Reiki. I had not been around horses for many years and Sarah made me feel very welcome and put me totally at ease. It was a lovely day and the horses were the stars  such lovely temperaments, all of them a credit to you. Thank you for giving me this opportunity and I can't wait to take the next course in 2012. Cheryl Brine, Lancashire, September 2011 - Equine Reiki 1  .    Very well structured and well conducted course. Covered all aspects as set out in the progranme. The handling of the horses was well explained particularly for those like me who do not have daily contact with horses. This course has encouraged ne to start offering my services within the Equine Industry with confidence. Thank you. Bernadette Hillewaert, August 2011 - Equine Reiki 2 . Thank you sarah, for yet again a great course I really enjoyed the course and learnt so much, which helps my confidence and that I can do Reiki. For me I really enjoy your teaching style , which is very natural and down to earth, which I believe is essential in a teaching environment. The horses are beautiful and it was great to experience different types and ages. I really can't think of anything to improve on and I hope to book the Masters Course soon. Thank you again Anna Catchpole, Norfolk, November 2011 - Equine Reiki 2 . Lovely welcome. Things were explained clearly and I was made to feel at ease - Although I don't have much experience with horses - I felt very safe, and Sarah gave me confidence when I was with the horses, as I knew she was only a short distance away, keeping her eye on things in case I needed her. The horses were lovely, it was very humbling and an amazing experience. The follow up after the day has been also very helpful and much appreciated. I really value the ongoing support that is offered by Sarah. Overall a very profound experience. Thank you Catherine Birkinhead, Bedfordshire, November 2011 - Equine Reiki 1 .
