I first came to Nina following a house fire in which I suffered some serious burns.  I knew very little about Reiki but I was willing to give ‘it’ a go.......... and man am I glad I did.  From the moment I entered her little room of tranquility I felt at peace.  Enveloped in warmth and giving myself over to the joy of being still.  I flitted up mountains, swam langourously in warm rock pools and gazed at dappled leaves all under the magic of Reiki.  I cannot say whether it was the hedonistic joy of just lying in stillness, peace and Nina’s welcome that made me feel rested and calmed, or wheter there really is some magical energy out there that tingled though my body, heating, but easing my burns and hurts.  What I can say is the treatment always left me feeling joyful and wanting more.  So if you are thinking should I or shouldn’t I, I say, you should, and I hope you feel as excited about the effects and sense of well being as I am. Enjoy!

Nina is a loving person who gives a lovely welcome.  Reiki to me is an oasis of relaxation and calm in a hectic 90 M.P.H. life.



REIKI - Jack (Aged 14)

My Experience

I have been having Reiki with Nina for a few years now and really enjoy it.  I wasn't sure what to expect but after my first time I knew wanted to go back.  It is very relaxing and she has lovely relaxing music playing in the background. Nina is very friendly and makes me feel very comfortable.  I would definitely suggest anyone thinking about trying Reiki to give it a go.  You won't regret it!

My partner use to work in a bar and found a leaflet advertising Nina and her practice of Reiki, we both read through the details and decided to give it ago, after all what harm could it do? That was the best decision we have ever made together, we have become closer, happier, more relaxed and appreciative not only of each other and all that we have but also for life its self. Everyday life can be hard, the daily routines dead lines work commitments, yet after each session with Nina, you instinctively just slow down start looking at life in a positive relaxed way. I personally have felt the positive affects and the way it has changed my life for the better and would recommend anyone and everyone to stop put your skepticism to one side and try Reiki with Nina Dunn. I thought we were the only people to see Nina, I was so shocked to hear many people saw her, because Nina has a way of making you feel so important and everything is about YOU, she lets you know she is thinking of YOU and understands and remembers all about YOU. Nina has changed our lives for the better thank you.



Ian Davidson   Annitsford

I discovered reiki through friends as it was suggested as a treatment for stress and anxiety. Even after the first session I felt more relaxed, have started sleeping better and my thoughts are less cluttered. I'd recommend reiki to anyone as it is a completely relaxing experience where your troubles can't bother you and Nina makes you feel welcome as soon as you walk in the door.



Kirsty Wright 13 Blyth

I am 13 and have been having reiki since I was 10. It has made me able to cope with my little brother.  The older I get the more annoying he is. Reiki makes me calmer. Without I wouldve strangled him by now.  It has also helped with my mum and we both go once a fortnight and argue less.



Marion Todd  retired  Blyth

I found out about Nina not long ago.  At the time I was feeling quite rundown and lacking in energy after a bad chest infection.  I went to see Nina to see if she could help me.  To be honest, for the first two sessions I did not feel a great deal of difference, but after my third session I started to feel more energetic and as I have just had my fifth session I am feeling so much better.  I have more energy and am not lethargic at all.  Nina is so welcoming and makes you feel at ease immediatley.  I cannot praise her enough for helping me.  I look forward to my sessions as I come out feeling energised and relaxed.



Barbara Quinn Teacher Cramlington

I found Nina by chance but what a find! from the moment you arrive you feel calm and relaxed and genuinely cared for by Nina. I have never been particularly responsive towards relaxation in the past but Reiki has proved to be extremely successful and has been really beneficial during a very difficult period. Nina delivers Reiki in such a gentle, caring way that you can’t help but relax in her care.  She shows a true interest and concern and you feel that you really matter.

I have tried to rationalise how Reiki works but all I know is it works for me. I am pleased I discovered Nina and Reiki and intent continuing as part of my general well being. Thank you so much Nina for kindness and understanding.



Jacqueline Finlay Carer New York, North Shields

I first discovered REKI, a few years ago  and didn’t really understand it and for fear of making my self look stupid I avoided it,  even though I had been advised to seek alternative therapies as I have an illness called SCLERDORMA.. and suffered badly at times . I then met Nina through a friend of my partners, at a healing event. My first 5 minutes were amazing I laid on the bed not knowing what to expect, I closed my eyes and Nina talked me through ,with a very calm and soft manner, and what I experienced that day was amazing ...... I was surrounded by bright lights, and in a place I felt at peace, it was not scary at all as I had of first thought. When the session was finished, I was very emotional, I had been in a place where I’d not been in a long time, I was hooked .......

Thank you Nina for the healing I received



Geoff Wright Blyth

I found Reiki to be of immense help to me.  It is so relaxing and lets you clear your thoughts at a simple level.  At a more complex level you have the benefit of treating things like stress and anxiety.  I would recommend it to anyone.  Nina has a great gift for being such an easy person to speak to and you always feel at home.  It certainly has made a difference to my life.  A positive one!



Denise Thomas Carer Cramlington

I thought I would try Reiki as a last resort.  I had been visiting a chiropractor for months then went to physio, neither seemed to work for my frozen shoulder. My first session was interesting, as the Reiki was being administered the pain in my shoulder and arm was so intense the energy seemed to be pulling it out.  The discomfort and pain got less and less on each session, by the fourth visit I had a pain free session which was so relaxing you could totally unwind and every session since has been a totally enjoyable experience and i would recommend Reiki to anyone.  It has certainly helped my problem and

I’m so pleased I persevered at the beginning to get the benefit from the treatment.



Deb Lee Writer Holystone

I started to visit Nina for Reiki nearly two years ago as I have struggled with insomnia, stress, anxiety and depression, and did not wish to seek medicated solution.  When I receive Reiki the mind noise dissipates and that little spark of me that is usually lost within the disorder and darkness is nourished and able to shine a little stronger.  I experience deep peace throughout my soul, a relaxation that is rarely felt or allowed during the hustle bustle of daily life.  There is a healing of physical ailments; the syptoms of coughs, sinus infections and musculature problems that I experience are eased, if not cured.

There is a connection to something larger than myself; a reminder that I am part of a very big picture.  My essence is rejuvenated.  I am given the ability to realign myself, to bring balance and bless back into my daily actions.  I walk away from Nina’s Reiki session with a calmness that I rarely had when I entered.



Wendy Gibson Business Owner/Manager Blyth

The Reiki treatments I have received from Nina have made such a difference to me on a number of levels.  I feel a lot less tense and more in control of my life.  I look forward to each treatment with Nina and find them very beneficial.  I love the relaxing music and the calm atmosphere Nina creates.  I would recommend to anyone to try and find out for themselves about Reiki.  Thank you Nina



Janet Wilcox.

Why everyone should give Reiki a go!!!

When my physio suggested Reiki would be helpful for my back/neck problems, I was a little surprised, but when I started treatment I not only experienced an improvement with my back/neck pain but my problem with high blood pressure also improved.

Several weeks after starting treatment with Nina I stopped taking the drugs which managed my hypertension.  I monitor my condition daily and have had no increase in blood pressure for several weeks.

When I do feel anxious or stressed I try to relax and deal with it through techniques I have learnt from Nina.

Reiki has not only improved my health but has improved my life.

Thank you, Nina.


Tammy Wright.

I have suffered from severe depression for many years now, and was advised by a fellow sufferer to try Reiki.  I was a bit dubious to begin with as I did not know what to expect.

Nina instantly made me feel welcome and not as a freak: (as some people do when you tell them you have a mental health problem).  Nina has a comforting warmth that emanated around her and imbues peace to her clients.  Her soft voice and calming manner almost puts you under a trance before she begins.  After an hour with Nina, I feel as if the dark pressure in my head has been relieved if only for a week until the next visit.

Before my Reiki sessions, my doctor was considering upping my anti-depressants, from 60mgs to 70mgs.  After three weeks with Nina, I had managed to level out at 60mgs and have come off the danger list.  I now only need to visit Nina once a fortnight, even though there have been some very stressful times recently.

Nina has become a very good friend and confidant, and even treats my nine year old daughter, who loves her visits with Nina.  I owe Nina a great deal, least of all for helping me to get my life back again.  Thank you Nina and your healing hands.


Pat Stokoe.

I was introduced to Reiki by my partner’s aunt.  She told me how good it had made her feel, and so, I decided to try it out.  I was immediately put at ease the minute I met Nina.  After having my first Reiki treatment, I was totally amazed by the experience.  Nina told me to lie back, relax, close my eyes and drift of somewhere nice.  As I became more relaxed I could see beautiful floaty colours.  As I breathed deeply, I can only describe my body as ‘disappearing’!  I felt as though I was there, in my mind, but without a physical body!

Afterwards when I went home, I had a beautiful nights sleep.  Something I’d not had in years, due to back and hip problems.  I also felt very calm within myself.

I will definitely continue to go to Nina for further treatments, as I believe her Reiki treatments will do me the power of good, and I would highly recommend giving Nina a call.


Kristina Trewick.

I started having Reiki in February 2006 a short time after having radiotherapy treatment for breast cancer.  I had heard a lot of positive comments about Reiki and decided to give it a go and find out for myself.  I have now been having treatments on a regular basis for a year now and I do feel that I have benefited from it.  The treatment itself is non invasive and carried out in warm comfortable surroundings.  Nina is a very caring person with an empathetic nature and makes me feel welcome every time I attend a treatment.

The sessions have helped me immensely in many ways both physically and mentally and my son who is only 10 years of age attends on a regular basis and finds it has been of great benefit to him.  All I would say to anyone who has not had Reiki before to give it a go and find out how brilliant it is, I promise you, you won’t look back.


Chris Wright.

Nina is not only a practitioner of Reiki, she becomes your friend someone to trust.  Reiki can relieve the stresses you build up and Nina’s hands are the relief you need.  I like it because she doesn’t touch you (only on the shoulders) and her friendly and confidant manner puts you at ease.  I go in stressed and can come out with the weight of the world off my back.


Joanne Gilbert.

Calm, warmth, hope, happiness ………..the list goes on.
All these I have experienced since being given Reiki.

The hour I spend every two weeks with Nina is ‘me time’ and it is not just the Reiki that is important to me, it is the relationship I have built up with Nina.  She has a lovely temperament and is willing to go the extra mile.  Nothing is too much trouble.

Reiki has had such a positive impact on my life that I cannot imagine being without it.


Janet Common.

I would like to give you my experience of Reiki and an endorsement of the work of Nina Dunn, a Reiki practitioner from Blyth, who I visit on a regular basis.

The main reason I went along for treatment, was simply because I was becoming more aware that my busy, busy lifestyle was taking me away from something very precious to me, my spiritual practice.

Nina makes treatments a beautiful experience form the moment you step in the door until the time you leave on a high.  The treatment room has a wonderful atmosphere with music and candles which quickly gets you relaxed and ready for treatment.  Everyone, I am sure, will experience the sessions differently and receive a variety of benefits.  For me, Reiki gives me the opportunity and time to meditate and renew my focus, delving into the heart of my being and beyond, and the treatment aids the process of unblocking, healing, revitalising and energising my spirit. 



Jean Soulsby

After experiencing shoulder problems for four months a friend recommended that I try Reiki.

After only five treatments my shoulder feels much better.  Nina is a warm, friendly person and she makes it so easy to completely relax. I am so glad I gave Reiki a try.



Margaret Maddison

I was introduced to Reiki and Nina by my brother, who is a family friend.  His gift of several Reiki sessions has been very beneficial for me, as I am now feeling much better.  Being quite severely disabled with Arthritis, I was sceptical about Reiki being any benefit.  I am now a converted sceptic about Reiki.  Nina is a very caring, lovely lady who puts you at ease as soon as you meet her.



Angela French

Reiki is a very relaxing experience and Nina is a lovely lady.  I have gone to Nina feeling tense and stressed, and come away feeling very much better. I would recommend anyone to give is a try.


 
Ann Bridges

Reiki was suggested to help me cope with my Myalgic Encephalomyelitis.  I have found it very relaxing and it helps a great deal with my chronic illness.  Nina is very caring and excellent at Reiki, she makes me feel very special.  I look forward to my sessions to give some relief from pain and discomfort.  Nina takles an interest in people and has become a very dear friend.  I would recommend Reiki for whatever reason, you always come away feeling refreshed.



Mark Barber

How do I describe Reiki. Well it's probably going to be different for everyone but I'll try to describe the parts for as I experience them.
 
I've heard a few descriptions of what it feels like to receive Reiki. Comments like - A sensation of waves of energy, a feeling of calm flowing over your body, for want of a better word 'magical' power gently soothing away any ills, pain or aches. All of these comments to me are close but not quite right.
 
For me the most obvious thing is that receiving Reiki is the most relaxing feeling I've ever had. You can be so relaxed that you can feel like your body has gone to sleep while you mind can be quite clear and alert. The sensation has been that potent that I've heard myself snoring and had almost no capacity to stop myself. The other during Reiki sensation is a localized sensation of heat that I can only assume corresponds to the location of Nina's hands at the time. This heat is almost the equivalent of a heat lamp but at no time unpleasant. This is one element that almost everybody agrees on. You can feel this heat/flow/energy (whatever you wish to call it) penetrating into and through your tissues not just reviving them but (and once again I have to use a vague term) your spirit also. Lastly there is the 'waking up' process. After a treatment I've had a sensation that only compares to waking up after a thoroughly satisfying and rejuvenating sleep. Comparing Reiki experiences in a competative fashion is just not something that should be done, but if it were I would challenge anyone who let's them self relax and accept the treatment not to feel, happier, healthier, more content and generally better than before the treatment.
 
Please try it. The only thing you have to loose is an hour, and you get a nice couch to lie and relax on while wasting it.



Selena Self

Nina’s healing has helped me move forward in my life in very positive ways.  After a session with Nina my soul feels recharged and I am very calm and together.  Nina is a beautiful person who spreads her love and light in a joyous manner.  She instantly puts people at their ease.  I have really felt the benefits of Nina’s presence in my life!  So much so that my six year old little girl has regular sessions with Nina, and as she has also been treating my mother, Nina’s gift is helping three generations of my family.  And for this I am truly thankful.  I would recommend Nina to anyone!  So if you think Reiki is something that would benefit you, trust your instincts and give Nina a call and inject some positivity back into your life.


Tom Weightman

For me, Reiki is quite simply the most relaxing thing that I have ever experienced.  I see colours, blue and purple and feel deeply relaxed and become no longer aware of my breathing or heart beating.  I am happy to accept that Reiki is taking away the stresses and strains of suffering for ten years from chronic fatigue, anxiety and depression.

Living with a metal ailment is not nice at all, Reiki and Nina’s skills in pleasant surroundings help me with my problems.  Give Reiki a chance and you won’t be sorry.
