Student Testimonials
Maria has been an excellent teacher of Reiki Level I & II. Maria continually amazes me with her energetic displays and knowledge of spirit & energetic healing. Both Maria & the Reiki teachings have been a blessing entering into my life, and they have helped me find an inner peace & connection that I had been longing for. The monthly Reiki share nights for her students are a fabulous way to stay connected and to keep learning, and are another display of Maria’s generosity and willingness to teach and share her knowledge. My journey into energy and healing continues ….. Sherree 2010
Reiki Master journey
Thank you for your heartfelt efforts over this year. I had many meaningful and fulfilling experiences with the success of my case studies, learning more about healing and awakening a new dimension of healing to me.
I value my deeper and personal connection to the Universal Life Force and experience more support and guidance. I particularly want to thank you for standing by me over the year as your constancy has healed a fear that no other therapist could help me through.
Thank you for all your efforts - known and unknown - throughout the year. Love Andrew 2010
Maria first came into my life a year ago when I did a Reiki 1 weekend workshop with my daughter as a last minute cancellation. I thought at the time this is what I'm looking for, some type of spirituality in my life, I just so admire Maria this warm, caring woman with a great sense of humour who puts you at ease in a very comfortable and safe environment. I have since done a Past Life workshop, Women Nurturing Women workshop, Meditation classes and now Spiritual Development classes. Maria has taken me on a journey of self discovery and spiritual enlightment. I'm working on a few issues within myself and I know Maria has come into my life to teach me and show me how to embrace my higher self with unconditional love. I've enjoyed all my classes and would recommend Maria to anyone who is looking for answers. Susan 2009
I began Reiki sessions with Maria a few years ago, I had been experiencing anxiety and panic and wanted another method of handling my attacks without the use of medication. Since then I have joined Maria’s Meditation and Spiritual Development classes and also now hold Reiki I certification. I am now grateful for my experience with anxiety which I now leave in my past, as it led me to re awaken the side of me I always knew was there but didn’t know how to tap into. I thank Maria for all her guidance, knowledge and friendship, and the many new friends I have met through her doorway! Kate 2009
My Mastery Journey with our ‘ smiling eye’s Maria’
On the 15th March 2009 l was blessed by the Masters during my final attunement.
My journey took 13 months - the most amazing, powerful, enriching journey to me.
Maria held my hand, guiding me into the most profound experience which l will honour forever.
My journey helped me through the most confronting times in my work.
I was a cabin crew member of the Qantas QF30 explosive decompression into Manilla 25th July 2008. I have to smile when l think of it..as l had to call Maria to cancel our appointment for the following Monday, saying, ‘l’m in Manilla, sorry l cant make it to our meeting……..don’t know when l’ll be back - watch the TV news’ 
Mastery for me, was Mastering myself. Learning who l am; a part of me l knew was there but lost touch with.
I learnt the importance of respect, integrity, and honesty in using the sacred symbols for Reiki; as well as the integrity, respect for fellow students on this journey called LIFE.
So, if you are ready to take the ‘leap of faith’ into the inner core of who you are and have the honesty within yourself to allow the real YOU to come to the surface, this is the best journey you will ever experience.
Now that l am a Reiki Master/Teacher my new journey has just begun.
I will honour, respect, Reiki sacred teachings with integrity.
The time will come when l will teach. I know l will teach with utmost respect for my wonderful Master Maria Lacey. With many Blessings, Carine Woder 2009
Thank you so much for an inspirational day. I went home with a really open heart and a lot of hope. SH 2008
By completing my Reiki 1 and 2 during my spiritual journey, I could not have asked for a better teacher to accompany me on my path! Maria Lacey provides a fun and great learning environment for her students and with her wealth of knowledge, compassion and love for her profession this makes her an exceptional teacher. I really enjoyed her warm and friendly nature, her spiritual insight, her humour and her honesty. Reiki has been a tremendous blessing in my life and has helped me to remain calm and relaxed during quite a stressful time. Silvana 2008
Dear Maria, you have brought me back to the world I love and put me back on track. My heartfelt love and thanks. I look forward to continuing the journey with you. JA 2008
I studied under Maria for my Reiki Mastery/Teacher level last year (2007). It was an AMAZING experience and Maria is such a wonderful teacher and person. Her compassion, heart, professionalism, commitment, insight and knowledge are inspiring!
I learnt so much from this experience and I will look back on this time of my life and cherish it. Thank you Maria for sharing your wisdom with me and your friendship – it has been such an honour!
I would recommend Mastery to anyone who wished to continue on past Reiki II. To teach and also to develop a deeper sense of “self”. I would not hesitate to recommend Maria as a teacher, and wish her and her future students the very best in the future. Sarah 2007
Mastery with Maria
I feel truly blessed to have found such a wonderful and gentle Reiki Master Teacher in Maria Lacey.
The 12 month Journey has been the most rewarding and wonderful step I have ever taken for myself. Every step of the way it has been such a joy to further my knowledge of this beautiful reiki energy as well as grow in confidence in helping myself and others. I sincerely thank Maria for creating such a wonderful and easy learning environment- one where I felt totally safe and nurtured at all times. Her encouragement, wisdom and humour made our time together always enjoyable and fun.
I have been fortunate to have completed all 3 levels of Reiki with Maria which has empowered me to learn and understand myself personally and spiritually. The journey has opened my eyes like a child seeing the world for the very first time and I thank my friend and teacher for being there for me every step of the way. With love,
Kathryn 2007

Dear Maria
Thank you so much for being my Reiki I, II and Masters Teacher, I find it hard to express myself sometimes and put my thoughts into words, but I would like to share my feelings of love and gratitude with you.
You are truly the most inspiring and unique person that has ever come into my life. I would like to honour and give thanks to you as my spiritual teacher and mentor, and above all as my dearest friend. Your wonderful smile, your never ending optimism, your encouragement and faith in me will be with me always.
Thank you beautiful lady for sharing your knowledge and wisdom with me. Thank you for walking with me through these last three years. They have been the hardest, most delightful, joyous, heart searching, enlightening and rewarding years. Without your love and support and the selfless giving of yourself, I know that I would not have succeeded in discovering this awareness and the abilities that have been dormant within me. Your selfless generosity knows no bounds.
It is a time, on my journey through this life that I will always treasure and I know that we have forged unbreakable links of love and friendship that will span this lifetime and the next. I Bless the day we discovered each other and sincerely hope that I am able to pass on this sense of worth and well being to others,(through my treatments and teachings), who will also feel as blessed.
My love and thanks to you my very dear friend……..Namaste

I met Maria four years ago after I rang her to enquire about her Reiki Master courses. Although I had studied Reiki 1 and 2 with a different Master of whom I will always cherish, I decided to broaden horizons and explore what else was available. As soon as I spoke with Maria, I realized I had found the right person to guide me in my studies. On the phone she was professional, as well as being open and friendly. I looked forward to our meeting with excited anticipation. On meeting Maria, I instantly knew I was to embark on a very special journey.
For the following year, I had weekly meetings with Maria and came to know her not just as a teacher, but also as the wonderful person she is. Over the 12 months, we laughed, cried and shared our dreams and fears. I am blessed to also be able to call her my friend.
Maria’s knowledge and understanding of Reiki is extensive, and coupled with her natural counselling skills her classes are always of a high professional standard. Maria has the unique ability to encourage students to move at their own pace, but also reach within themselves to pursue their own journey.
I will always be grateful to have met this amazing woman, who has helped me in so many ways."

"I know Maria because I had a horse with a sore leg. In my search for alternate pain relief for my friend, I came to hear about Reiki and was amazed to be told I could learn to do it myself!
And so it began. I completed Reiki Level 1 with Maria and found a whole new world of possibilities opening up before me. Though I’d always been interested in the spiritual (New Age) world, I was really just skimming the edges. I also decided to attend a spiritual development (SD) workshop, and am currently enrolled in a weekly SD group.
I am thoroughly enjoying my experience under Maria’s tutelage and find her sense of humour and compassion uplifting and enriching. I have learned things about myself that make my mind boggle, but I love it.
It sounds like a cliché but I know that I have begun a journey of self discovery. It’s not always easy but I don’t have to do it alone. I have Maria and my new friends in the group for support and encouragement."
Sue 2006
"Maria is a beautiful, caring and fun loving person. I have been lucky enough to have Maria teach me Reiki Level 1 and 2 and she made this a wonderful and moving experience for me. She is very nurturing and she helps make you feel safe and warm. She also loves to see you grow and develop and encourages this throughout each class.
I am a regular participant at Maria's monthly Reiki practise workshop and I find this a wonderful tool to give and to receive Reiki with a group of like minded people with Maria as our guide.
I feel honoured and privileged to have Maria as my Reiki master and a friend."
Yvonne 2006
“Maria is a great inspiration both as a spiritual teacher and a person. She has such a wonderful level of insight and wisdom and is always willing to share this knowledge with others in a humble and down to earth manner. Her friendship and guidance have been greatly appreciated by myself and my family.”
