LA Reiki

Amanda may have been one of the most special people I’ve ever known. She was brilliant at reiki and an even more brilliant person. She truly shined and everyone who went to her is forever changed from her work. Unfortunately, she passed away about a year ago from cancer. I don’t know what happened to the business, L.A. Reiki. There were other practitioners working with her, and I’m not sure if they’re still operating the business. If anyone knows, please let me know.
I know Amanda is carrying on her healing work on the other side. She’ll always be missed and loved.

I have done many reiki sessions in my life and no one is quite like Amanda. Her presence is so gentle, compassionate and loving and so you instantly feel a sense of connectedness with her. You then add that to her extraordinary ability to work out energetic kinks and blockages AND a very keen intuition and you have a power session that feels both restorative and extremely informative. She is always so spot on with her intuitive «hits» even though I may not always understand what she is talking about at the time. They always stays with me and I end up feeling like the information she imparts is exactly what I needed in order to move forward. Amanda truly is the best at what she does and her ability to gather information about you as she is working just makes her that much more spectacular. I crave Amanda’s reiki sessions and feel that the value that I receive is so worth every penny and then some. I am so unbelievably grateful for her!

Amanda is truly a blessing from above! Really, there are no words to describe her compassion, kindness, and intuition. I went to see her for a live session when I lived in LA. When I walked out of her studio, I instantly felt «light,» like something had shifted in me. She gives you a card with the notes she takes during her session — I posted it in my office and just read it when ever I need a dose of Miss Amanda’s energy :) As I mentioned, she is extremely intuitive… go to her with an open mind and an open heart and your life will be touched forever. Now that I moved to SF, she conducted a long distance Reiki session for me, meaning that she did a full session and emailed me all of her notes (which I printed out and read over and over!). Even at a distance, without seeing you face to face, that intuition of hers is spot on. If you are in need of clarity, rejuvenation, healing, or really just want to try something different, go see Amanda right away!

After my experience at LA Reiki and the time I spent with Amanda I am inspired to write a review to hopefully encourage others who are interested in Reiki to book a session. I was not sure what to expect and Amanda put me at ease instantly and explained the process. I had recently experienced some major changes in my life which were difficult for me and Amanda spent time listening to me, learning about me and my experiences and then catering her ‘practice’ around what my specific needs were. After the Reiki session, she provided me with thorough notes and analysis of what she discovered and a mantra or intention to focus on. After the session I instantly felt extremely peaceful and balanced. I felt light. And this feeling has continued for the past few days. Amanda has a gift and I feel fortunate that I was able to meet her and experience her Reiki healing. Thank you Amanda!

Amanda is amazing. I had two sessions with her and both times walked out feeling lighter and full of energy. I had been going through a lot of issues with anxiety and she really helped. I felt so inspired to start taking charge of my life. And the messages she writes are always dead-​on. I love LA Reiki, will be coming back for more.

I could write a book about all the great things that I have experienced at L. A Reiki. I have learned so much about myself, life and what really matters. That sense of calm, peace and gratitude is what I walk away with after every session. Amanda is simply an amazing person and a very intuitive caring healer. I know that my time there is definitely a huge part of healing my health concerns. I highly recommend going there; open your mind, your heart and you will not be disappointed.

I had a very specific social anxiety issue I wanted to address and Amanda identiied it and successfully eradicated it from my life in one session. Seriously amazing! When you meet her you instantly feel like she knows you and you know her. She puts you at complete ease which must be part of her technique. Her process is very soothing, not at all invasive, since she doesn’t touch you at all, but afterwards you feel completely relaxed. I felt like I had a massage! She told me it would take 72 hours for everything to be setlled into place, but that Monday, two days later, i felt entirely different. She is a remarkable, talented and gifted healer. If you have an issue that you feel like you can’t resolve — as I did and just resigned yourself to dealing with it or turning to medication — you should definitely try a session with her first.

By some miracle I found Amanda.
From the moment I met her
I felt a tremendous genuine warmth and love from this tiny soul .My first Reiki session with her and every session since always calms my nerves and lifts my spirits .
I am in awe of her and her studio.
I look forward to every session and recommend her highly.
I have learned so much about myself from our sessions together.
I am so thankful to have found her and it gives me such happiness to know that people like Amanda are here on this earth to help me and hopefully together we can make a difference in this world.

I’ve written a lot of reviews on Unilocal,sometimes after visiting a business or a place just once. I think it’s rare in this city that you find a place you frequent and where you feel at home. LA Reiki is one of those places for me.
I feel weird writing a review of LA Reiki — that’s how sacred it is! Amanda is the most kind, intuitive person — you can only become a better person by knowing her and letting her help you heal your life. The space reeks of optimism, growth and warmth. She has a waiting room with snacks and books and water and couches, and a treatment room with fountains and gongs and music and blankies. I love getting a cupcake from the place down the street after/​before a reiki session.
She has a great video demonstrating reiki on her web page — so if you aren’t familiar with it, totally check it out. I see reiki as a mandatory aspect of my spiritual journey now!
The most special part about working with a healer is finding someone who truly wants to help you. Amanda is that person.

I just wanted to take a minute to say how wonderful my experiences at LA Reiki have been. Going into my first session, I was a bit skeptical about the practice but Amanda was very friendly and immediately made me very comfortable. We sat down and spoke about what areas I’d like to work on and I mentioned that I had just felt negative lately in general. After climbing on the table, I took a few deep breaths and was able to truly relax for the first time in a long time. Amanda moved her hands over various parts of my body and I immediately felt tension slip away. When I flipped over into my stomach, I slipped into an deep state of meditation — for the very first time in my life (I’ve tried on numerous occasions to meditate and have been unable to clear my mind).
After the session, we talked in depth about various things that I needed to work on or be mindful to. I went in for a second session and experienced the same feeling — complete peace, extreme relaxation, and positive energy. The second time I had gone in complaining about bad dreams. After seeing her I honestly haven’t even had one.
After leaving both reiki sessions, I’ve looked at my days a bit differently. Small things don’t seem to bug me as much and I feel more in touch with my emotions. Amanda said that some people have visions on the table or fall into deep dreams. I personally didn’t experience this but I did notice that I was a lot more creative after both sessions. It seems like the personal limitations that I had set on myself became lifted — at least temporarily.
I will definitely be going back to see her on a frequent basis and I challenge anyone to go in and give this a try: To release your negative energy, to open yourself up to new possibilities, or simply to spend an hour forcing yourself to relax and reflect on your thoughts.

As I was in the hospital after two heart procedures and awaiting a third Amanda came to see me. She moved my fear away. She helped strengthen my confidence and relax me as I went into a very precarious situation. From the medically daunting to the simple pick me up, I trusted Amanda completely before this, now, I completely believe in her, our energy and collective healing. Call Amanda. She is priced well and knows the art of Reiki in her soul.
By the way, my heart has recovered and, yes, Doctors helped but that is in no small part the result of healing practices Amanda shared with me.

I love reiki! I love Amanda!
Honestly, I was opened minded but had never been before, so I didn’t know what to expect. I almost canceled or tried to postpone because I’m uncomfortable with trying new things. Despite this I kept my appointment and was so happy I did! I felt rejuvenated, at ease and very emotionally calm. Not to mention, any aches or pains I had were gone. I had been gettig a massage frequently because of pain in my back and it wasn’t helping. But after I had the reiki done there was no need for massage anymore.
It was also very important I felt safe. Not only did I feel safe but I was comfortable and grateful. I was so excited that when I shared my experience, two others that I had know made appoinents immediately after.
I have continued to go back weekly, only missing in an emergency.
I love reiki, thank you Amanda and L.A. Reiki

I cannot say enough good things about LA Reiki. I have been going for over a year and try to see Amanda once or twice a month. I go primarily to treat my anxiety and overall wellness. I always leave feeling peaceful and positive. The effects stay with me a few days and sometimes longer. I return as frequently as I can to get a tune up. If you’re reading this and have been thinking about Reiki, I highly suggest you give it a try with Amanda. She is a very calm and welcoming spirit. She can answer any questions you have and will not «push» you into a visit if you aren’t sure. Also if you price compare I think you will find her prices competitive. What do you have to lose?

This was not my first Reiki session but it has been several years since I had one back when I lived in the east coast. Amanda’s warm welcoming energy and enthusiasm for her practice and for connecting with her clients was immediately apparent. Right away I knew around someone who truly wants to help heal her clients and not simply collect a session fee.
The session felt like hitting the reset button on my energy levels and zeroed out the «noisy thoughts» in my head so I could focus on present. It’s almost like I went through a condensed version of a really good eight hours of sleep in an hour. I felt relaxed, refreshed, had the sensation like I left the room and came back a few times, and was pleasantly reminded of how grounding a session with a gifted and caring healer can be.
If you’re feeling like your «circuits are a bit fried» and the idea of getting back to your center appeals to you I wouldn’t hesitate to give LA Reiki a try.

I went to Amanda not really knowing anything about Reiki. I had heard that it was a healing art; acquaintances had mentioned they had experienced it… but I really had no expectations. In fact, I was probably a little bit skeptical about the whole thing. But I am into anything that has the potential to improve my well-​being, so I decided to give Amanda and LA Reiki a try.
Wow, was I blown away with how powerful and amazing Amanda’s practice of Reiki is – even after my very first session! First off, Amanda is one of the sweetest, caring, and giving people I have ever met. Her studio was beautiful, clean, relaxing. She made me feel right at home.
Amanda explained that I had a lot of jumbled physical and emotional energy that needed to be released from various places in my body. The first session I just focused on being present so that we could prepare for deeper work at the next session. I felt real, physical sensations throughout my body during the session as she placed her hands over me – buzzing, spinning, a little shaking even. There were several points at which I experienced out-​of-​body sensations and imagery — very poignant and powerful. Afterward, I felt so light, free, open, clear! I had a feeling of presence and was able to really experience each moment — I was truly free of anxiety, worry, stress that chronically plagues me.
When I went in for a second Reiki session a couple of weeks later, we decided to focus on letting go of past pains that I was still holding onto. I ended up actually tearing up at several points during the session — and I was able to actually feel a lot of the unpleasant stuff leaving me. I had so much clarity after the session that I was able to finally conquer some really painful emotions from my life with lightness and ease.
Amanda’s practice has left me able to truly experience things, rather than be stuck in a place of fear or worry all the time. Since going to LA Reiki, I have been so much calmer, happier, and have finally been freed to enjoy each moment of my life — for the first time in years. I would recommend Amanda to anyone.

LA Reiki and Amanda embodies warm professionalism and insight!
I have been to LA Reiki twice now, once in April and again at the beginning of May.
My mid-​April session I focused on clarity and healing these weird air bubbles that I would get that would end up causing me chest pain. The session was amazing and so, freeing. Like being re-​centered into this awesome energy that I carry around with me! Feeling like I could float if I could just remember how. After that, I was a happier person (and I’m happy anyway!), eager to tackle the next thing, plus good-​bye air bubbles.
When I went in for May, I focused on getting in touch with my intuition, so I could stop second guessing myself and missing opportunities. It was a tougher session for me, but with Amanda’s guidance and then insight after the session, I was able to clear away a lot of «white noise» that I didn’t even realize I had.
For those people that are results-​oriented: Between that first session and today, my chest pain has healed, I have signed with a top-​ten commercial agent, started actually booking work (OMG), and feel great about my auditions!
Thank you SO much Amanda! She has helped me get out of my own way by helping me release blocked energy and getting in contact with my true inner voice. She helps you heal spiritually as well as physically!

Attending my first LA Reiki session, I was a little nervous. It was my first experience with reiki and wasn’t sure what to expect. But immediately walking in and meeting Amanda, I felt great ease and comfort. She was very hospitable and we talked about the session before we began, focusing on anything I would like to work on or heal during the reiki session.
The session started and after a few minutes I felt like I was literally in zero gravity or some sort. I felt wonderful powerful healing energy flowing through me and negative, bound-​up energy being released.
After it was over, we talked about our experience in the session and Amanda shared her wisdom.
That was it! There was nothing to be nervous about at all. And the best part is that the things I wanted to focus on and heal during the session are completely gone from my existence! I still can hardly believe something that was so difficult for me in my life could be cleared after just ONE session, but it was!
Amanda is incredible, and I recommend LA Reiki to anyone interested in healing any part of themselves (physically, mentally, or spiritually). Thanks again Amanda!

This was such an amazing experience! Amanda has such good energy and she worked on me and my 90 pound pitty during our session. He just lay down, went to sleep and was so calm and balanced for days after. As for me, afterward I felt so centered and strong and just have a lighter energy all around! I will defiantly be going back and bringing my doggie! Thanks Amanda!

LA Reiki and Amanda Stratt are amazing! Amanda’s energy and healing is a gift that should be shared with all! I have had personal sessions for myself, sent family to her, and she even did reiki on my dog and healed her from back pain. Thank you Amanda!
