Transformative Client Testimonials

I have had the good fortune to experience first hand both the direct benefits of Larisa Sipek’s practice of Reiki, also in discussions with her, to learn about its history and theory. I have observed shifts in my own level of increased calmness during and after sessions. At this early stage I still have a lot to learn about the mechanisms by which Reiki restores balance between stress and calmness, but one possible pathway, that fits my medical knowledge-base on stress, trauma, PTSD and C-PTSD, could be mediated by Porges’ polyvagal system’s regulation of safety, based on his ‘science of safety. I remain open to learn a lot more, and keep gaining benefits that Reiki might offer.

Reiki Experience: In-Person & Remote

Having never had a Reiki session before, I wasn’t sure what to expect, but I approached it with an open mind. Larisa put me at ease and made me feel very relaxed. She guided me through the process and what to expect in a gentle and reassuring manner.

I wouldn’t describe myself as particularly spiritual, but I also wasn’t opposed to it. Initially, I sought Reiki to help relieve my menopausal symptoms after hearing about its benefits from someone else. However, after talking to Larisa, it became clear that I was stressed and overwhelmed by daily stressors, especially related to work.

Larisa explained that despite our minds attempting to block certain experiences as coping mechanisms, the body remembers them. During our sessions, I honed in on some truths that I might have already known, but this process clarified or brought them to the surface. After each session with Larisa, I felt calmer and more uplifted than when I arrived. I also became more reflective, gained better clarity of thought and purpose, and improved my meditation practices.

As a result of my work with Larisa, I have begun my own journey into Reiki and practice the principles she taught me. She is always available to guide and provide reassurance. My meditation practices have improved, and I am becoming better at managing my day-to-day stressors, recognizing when my mind and body need rest.

I would recommend this to anyone who is open to healing and interested in finding holistic ways to manage stress. It complements traditional therapies.

I was hoping that Reiki sessions would help me become more resilient and less reactive to all of the stressful things I have going on right now, and I definitely feel that my expectations were exceeded. My Reiki experience was wonderful! I knew I needed something to support my stress and chronic anxiety, and I love that it’s not just about the Reiki session but also the extra strategies Larisa offers to support our sessions.
Since beginning my sessions I am definitely less frazzled and more grounded. The stress I had prior is still there but is much more manageable.
I felt lighter and had less brain fog after each session but the biggest impact came a few days after the sessions when I had these “ah ha” moments and could see some of the things that had been holding me back. They would just randomly come to me and I feel like I had the capacity to make the changes too. What stood out for me is when Larisa shared a breathing technique after a session that I am still using today which has helped so much.

My stress was getting really debilitating. I would stress over everything which would impact my energy levels and also was making me disconnect a bit from friends and family. So definitely by reducing my reactivity, I have more energy and space for connection. I think it’s helped me become more grounded and see the ways I was self-sabotaging my health so I can make better decisions. Long-term, I think it’s helped me prioritise things that help to regulate my nervous system instead of living in the survival mode-burnout cycle. I also think it’s helping my hormonal symptoms.

I would rate Reiki as extremely effective, giving it 10/10, for improving wellbeing and inner healing, and would recommend it anyone who is looking to improve their overall quality of life and well-being. I have tried a lot of different things for my anxiety and this has been one of the only modalities where I felt like it was actually addressing the underlying blocks.

Reiki Experience: In-Person

Before I met Larisa, I was facing boundary issues in my relationship and going through a very sad 16yr relationship break up.

Larisa explained what to expect from the Reiki sessions which made me feel at ease. The Reiki sessions I experienced were of a relaxed feeling all over my body and mind, mentally and physically total calmness.

In the next few weeks after the sessions, I found myself sleeping really well at night and remembering every one of my dreams which I have never been able to do in the past before. I have also been feeling a lot more grounded in my decision making and take notice of my own needs at the time.

I have been feeling calm, when addressing relationship issues in the last few weeks rather than feeling the old sense of nervousness or instant reaction rather I am able to focus directly on how a certain situation made me feel in order to discuss same.

I would definitely recommend Reiki to anyone who is struggling to find peace and calm within or even feelings of stress and anxiety.

Reiki Experience: In-Person

Initially somewhat sceptical, but with an open mind I attended Reiki sessions with Larisa. The idea of me having Reiki came about from me having conversations with a friend about something completely different. At that point in time I felt and knew that I was out of balance.  When I say out of balance, I was giving too much of my time, energy and space to my work situation. Work had become the centre of my life, I don’t think this is necessarily unusual, but we can all get into this space.

After the sessions I found that I’ve been given some space, some difference, perspective. This didn’t happen initially,  but I guess as part of a holistic understanding, and targeting the areas which I felt were out of balance.

Emotionally,  I’m feeling more centred, and although a work in progress, much improvement has been made. Changes that have been made in my life were being open to seeing other opportunities (being in the moment).

Since this experience has helped me become more balanced, I took on a new perspective.  I have had a change of professional role within the same organisation to include things which are more in line with my thought processes (community mindset). In addition, I have also enrolled in a community based financial counselling program to start moving towards where I want to be.

In this testimonial,  although a little long winded, I guess the key theme that comes through is that through this experience I got a new perspective on what I want from my life, and Larisa was able to facilitate this for me.

I’m not one to usually write testimonials,  but in this case the change has been so positive that I do so without hesitation. I would also go as far to say ask for my details from Larisa and I’m happy to speak about my own experiences with you.

Program Experience: Remote

Working with Larisa was an incredible experience from beginning to end. Not only because she is so highly qualified and professional in her practice but because she has the most wonderful, calming energy.

As a business owner and professor of management with 2 small boys, it’s not surprising that when I started working with Larisa it was because I was struggling to keep up with the rigorous demands of daily life. Particularly I was struggling to prioritize my time and my family while building a business that I love so much. I really needed to reconnect with my core values and re-balance so that I could reclaim my time and create a better structure for achieving everything I want while not having to sacrifice my family time or mental health.

To say that Larisa helped me reclaim the balance I was craving is 100% true but also an understatement. Larisa changed my entire perspective first through the Reiki practice  (I had NO idea what this was when we started) and then the focused mindset work which solidified my vision and trust in what I needed to focus on moving forward.

The Reiki in particular was an awesome experience and although its so difficult to describe it really did restore my feeling of balance and peace and I was able to shed the feelings of stress I was having, which also meant I had a clearer mind and could concentrate on what my next steps where going to be. After one session I even had an “explosion” of creative thought and developed some of my best content ideas!

To sum it up. If you’re feeling out of balance, stressed, overwhelmed, uncertain you NEED to work with Larisa… the calm I have in my life and business right now is honestly priceless.

Thank you Larisa!

Program Experience: Remote & In-Person

I was having troubles finding inner peace. I have tried some meditation apps in the past but did not find they were helping me. I’ve heard of Larisa’s hybrid coaching &healing program and was curious to see how it could work for me, so I decided to give it a try.

I loved every part of her program, Reiki healing, the purpose card, release of emotional blocks, and all the mindfullness tips and advice she has shared about mental health.

Reiki experience has left me feeling relaxed and rejuvenated and the whole experience combined with mindset and wellness coaching was truly transformative. I can honestly say that I could feel the shifts in my mindset and wellbeing between the second and third week of working with Larisa.

I am now feeling more grounded and understand where my emotions (both negative and positive side) come from, and how to control them. I am feeling more confident, and I’m much clear about what I want in life. I am feeling like I’ve finally got the power back in my own hands.

The whole program is simply perfect, and I would highly recommend it to women who feel caged in the corporate life. I love working with people who are calm, dedicated, and gentle, which made Larisa the perfect coach for me.

I’d like to express my greatest gratitude to Larisa who introduced Reiki and mindset coaching to my life. Just as she promised when I started, this program is truly transformational.

As someone who is very introverted, I appreciate the fact Larisa opened my heart through her sincerity. I wouldn’t benefit from this program this much if my coach isn’t her.

I am a mum of 2 young kids, and I struggled to find myself over the past 5 years. My sense of identity and purpose was nonexistent. I loved my kids however everyday was repetitive and I felt so lonely and didn’t know what the meaning of life was anymore. I was frustrated and angry with anything and everything and my cup was so low I felt like giving up.

A lot of things triggered me because I had a lot of trauma in my past. I was constantly comparing myself to others and my self-esteem hit rock bottom. My kids saw me in such a dark moment, and they felt the sadness with me too.

I had a lot of trauma and pain it was very hard for me to release this pain and let it go. I didn’t want to feel this way and felt trapped. I tried numerous psychology sessions which briefly allowed me to open up and release the anger, but it was never deep enough to heal what was hurting so badly inside of me.

I was fortunate enough to meet Larisa. She worked so patiently with me and after a few sessions I was a completely different person. I felt light and suddenly all that pain and hurt I had in my body for so long started to disappear. Life was beautiful again… I was present with my kids, and I started to notice how beautiful everything around me was, the trees, sound of the birds chirping. I was grateful to have my kids and family and started to appreciate what I had in front of me.

My kids have changed so much they are so much happier and argue less because I spend more time with them and appreciate them for who they are. I am much calmer and understand my feelings and triggers.

I recommend this program to anyone who feel stuck in life and need some guidance.  This program is basically for anyone who wants to achieve inner peace and discover more about themself.

Larisa, it was a truly magical experience and life changing as well.

Program Experience: In-Person

I just completed my program with Larisa, and I honestly feel the best I have felt in such a long time.
Before I started my coaching and Reiki experience, I was feeling run down, struggling with anxiety, and just searching for some inner peace and happiness. The pressures of life and kids, and unrealistic high expectations I had put on myself were really started to take a toll on my mental health.

The coaching component of the course taught me how to cope and deal with certain situations in a more positive way. It taught me how to have a positive outlook on things that would normally bring me down. It taught me to be mindful of the energy I give out and receive, and little tricks and reminders on how to maintain a positive mindset.

The Reiki sessions on top of the coaching was the perfect addition to boost that inner peace and balance I was searching for. I feel so much calmer and more grounded and have found that inner peace I was so desperately in need of.

I cannot thank Larisa enough for what she has done for me. She was amazing to work with. She made me feel so comfortable throughout the whole experience.

Program Experience: Remote & In-Person

I commenced a 12 week transformation with Larisa as I was feeling somewhat stuck and overwhelmed with life in general. I am grateful to Larisa as she has helped me enormously to face my emotional blocks and inner fears that were holding me back from leading a fulfilling life, as I was self sabotaging and unable to move past certain major upheavals in my life.

Larisa guided me to become more empowered, in touch with my emotions and feel them on a deeper level so I could reclaim my inner peace from the negative thoughts in my head.

She has not made me reliant on her but instead gave me the tools to make my life better on my own. I feel liberated and my relationship with my family has been happiest and most fulfilling than ever before.

Larisa also helped me understand the power the words we use has on the way we think and feel, thus affecting life outcomes and as a result of that I have defeated the imposter syndrome I have felt throughout my working career. I am feeling calmest I have ever felt and ready to tackle anything that may come my way.

I am forever thankful to Larisa, and grateful to have had this opportunity to work with her – thank you Larisa from the bottom of my heart, for guiding me to find the inner peace.

Program Experience: Remote

Before I decided to join the program, I was constantly feeling nervous and under stress. I was always arguing with everyone, and I also came across very rude and arrogant in arguments. I was also experiencing frequent chest pain and panic attacks.

Larisa has encouraged me to think about myself, my mental and physical health. She gave me the courage to discover a new me and to put myself first. She has helped me approach problems and conflicts more calmly, organize my priorities, and understand what is truly important in life. She has helped me connect with my heart and discover my inner strength. Working with her has helped me reveal a new side of me, which I didn’t know I had in me.

I would highlight Reiki as my favourite  part of this program, I found it very relaxing, but also life coaching, which helped me see what my real problems were.  I felt calm every time we had a Reiki session. On one occasion, I felt tingling in my hands and palms. But all in all, it felt very nice, calm, and peaceful, both during and after each session. I have never had a better and lighter experience- there is nothing I can compare it to. After a session you are feeling so calm that nothing can throw you out of tune. I started to feel small changes somewhere in the middle of the program, and I felt a really big shift, I would say the most impactful one, at the very end.

As a result of all work we’ve put in over 12 weeks, I’m feeling calmer, and I deal with problems and stress more easily. I started drawing boundaries, and I have separated important from unimportant things. I don’t put myself so much into other people’s problems. I am feeling different from within, and I am happy with myself.

Larisa is an optimistic, cheerful, kind, and calm person who gives you hope that change will come your way. The way she approaches her coaching is wonderful and so relaxed. I think that anyone would feel comfortable in Larisa’s company. You can tell her everything and open your soul to her, and she will always understand you. What stood out for me the most is that I did not expect the feeling of calmness that accompanied me throughout the day which has helped me to face everyday problems more easily. It was as if some part of me was unblocked and gave me the power to discover myself and my strengths.

The program has helped me improve all my relationships, especially family relationships. It taught me how to let go of what I can’t change. I am definitely more positive and look at everything positively. It is not only me who noticed the progress, but also my environment and people close to me. Likewise, many people have told me after the program that I have wonderful energy and that it is bursting out of me.

Working with Larisa has helped me detangle out of my problems. She has helped me believe in myself much more, and make me realise  my true potential. I became more aware of what I can do. I have set many goals for myself, and I believe that I will achieve them very soon.

I would definitely recommend this program to anyone else who feels stuck. It has helped me, and I believe it would definitely help others too. I would recommend it to everyone close to me, especially to a few friends who I know are going through a difficult time and are on the way to getting to know themselves.

Larisa’s energy, her gaze, and gentle and calm manner of conversation, awakens hope and a desire to work with her and take part in her program. The one word I would use to describe the outcomes I have achieved whilst working with Larisa is ‘unexpected’.

My experience in receiving Reiki treatments from Larisa has been a positive one. I’ve used the Reiki treatment as a part of a holistic approach to my surgery preparation and recovery. It has helped place me in a positive and a relaxed state of mind to tackle the road that lay ahead.

The practice was well presented, and Larisa did great at setting a relaxing environment.
