"I came to Reiki during a difficult time in my life, facing cancer. During my chemotherapy treatment, Hande frequently provided Reiki sessions, which not only helped alleviate some of the side effects but also brought me inner peace and a deep understanding of what I was going through. This process made my healing more complete, in both body and spirit. My eyes shone with a sweet light, a love I had never felt before.
As I neared the end of my treatment, I decided to receive my Reiki initiation. It was a significant step to reconnect with myself and to continue growing both personally and spiritually. Now, Reiki is part of my daily life, helping me maintain physical well-being and guiding me toward my life goals.
Reiki has changed many aspects of my life. If you’re reading this, I encourage you to listen to your intuition and discover the place Reiki could hold in your life. I am deeply grateful to Reiki and to Hande for the light they have brought to my path."

"My first contact with Reiki was in Hande’s course in November 2010. The course took place over a weekend, covering the first and second levels of Reiki.
For me, it was an unforgettable experience, marking the beginning of a different life in which I began incorporating my new knowledge into my everyday routine. It is wonderful to offer Reiki to people close to you and to yourself; it’s deeply gratifying and a powerful tool to address both physical and emotional pain, helping us understand ourselves on a different level.
My experience that weekend marked a before and after in my life, something I recommend to everyone."
Mar Martos Granados
"What can I say about Hande that her eyes don’t already express? Those eyes that convey without speaking all her energy and peace, giving you a sense of harmony. I discovered Reiki 12 years ago, but at the time, I only completed the first level. It was in the summer of 2010 when something in my life led me back to Reiki, and that’s when I met Hande. Since then, it’s been a journey filled with good things. Reiki helps me stop and appreciate the positive things we often overlook in our busy, hectic lives.
To those who haven’t tried it, I suggest they do; you will find something inside that you might not know is there. Thank you, Hande, for being part of my journey. A huge hug."
Maria Angels Martinez Torrente
"Hello! I came to Hande and Reiki with many questions, looking for answers, and I found some just in our first interview. The rest came when Hande initiated me into Reiki. It’s hard to explain if you haven’t experienced it. I found peace within myself, which helped bring me greater clarity, strength, and mental, physical, and spiritual health. Reiki is wonderful, and Hande is a being of light who transmits the power of Reiki with an infinite strength.
I love Reiki and the happiness it brings me. It has helped me accept myself as I am, forgive myself, and heal everything that needed to be healed. I continue on this path of light and love with Hande and all the beings of light I meet through Reiki. I cannot express in words what Reiki and Hande mean to me. I can only give thanks for having found them. Thank you, thank you, thank you! A light-filled embrace to everyone… Namaste."
Maria Navarro
"Reiki is energy, it is life, it is love, it is a connection with oneself... It is so many things at once! I started my journey two years ago with the intention of understanding myself and my surroundings better, not knowing exactly what it would mean in my life. I had been told it would mark a before and after, and I needed changes without knowing how to achieve them. After the Reiki initiating, I experienced radical changes that gradually took root in my life: nothing is the same, and I am not the same person.
I have learned to know myself, respect myself, value myself, and also to do the same with those around me. Everything has changed, and every day my life aligns more with what I desire, need, and came here to learn. Just this month, I began the third level, and I foresee many more changes, primarily a greater awareness, light, inner peace, and love. Hande is an angel who appeared in my life at just the right time, and I am very grateful to her; she is filled with love and sweetness, a light I hope to keep beside me always."
Puri Arévalo Lazaro
"My expectations were high, and they were met. The experience was (and continues to be) highly positive. I still have much to learn, and having Hande by my side is essential to me."
Guadalupe Blanco Barroso
"For me, Reiki is the connection between consciousness and the divine energy of the universe and earth. This beautiful daily experience brings me peace, serenity, love, joy, optimism, forgiveness, and other beautiful states of being. My life feels lighter because my energy flows in harmony, and everything around me manifests positively.
I remember how I became interested in Reiki: one Sunday morning, while having coffee at home with my daughters, I felt a very subtle voice inside me say, ‘type “Reiki” into the computer.’ In seconds, a beautiful, unique name appeared: Hande. Since then, I’ve felt a profound joy because I found the answer I’d been looking for: how to balance my inner self and help others feel this well-being.
Afterward, I got in touch with Hande to take the Reiki courses. I am deeply grateful to my guardian angel for guiding me to Hande and to Hande for her simplicity, kindness, humility, availability and friendship. Namaste!"
Linda Beach
"My experience with Reiki has been wonderful. I attended the summer course in 2010 because I had a seriously ill family member, and I wanted to be by her side with all the positive energy possible. And that’s how it went; the course gave me the tools to be there and help her in her recovery. Since then, Reiki has helped me in my daily life to face times of major decisions and changes.
It has been, and continues to be, a great experience I share with those around me and with myself. Thank you, Hande, for everything. From Colombia, a big hug and congratulations for continuing on this path!"

1. What has Reiki represented for me?
I came to know Reiki during a difficult time when my wife was in the hospital, and they suggested she receive Reiki sessions. Volunteers, to whom I am grateful for their dedication, helped her every day. I especially remember a girl who radiated something special. I could tell that my wife also felt more positive vibrations, which gave her a greater sense of well-being. From that moment on, I asked her if she could teach me, and she agreed. To this day, I have completed the Master level in Reiki with my teacher Hande.2. What do I gain from Reiki?
Above all, inner peace and balance.3. What purpose does it serve in my life?
Apart from my own well-being, I try to help those I meet who are open to receiving it.4. Have I helped anyone?
Yes, I believe I have helped myself, my wife, and others I’ve encountered.5. Who have I been able to help, and how?
• I was able to help a couple who were very stressed because they wanted to have a child and had been undergoing treatments for a long time. I sincerely believe I contributed by giving them Reiki for a month, and two months later, she became pregnant. She now has a beautiful little girl. I simply helped by bringing them into balance and relieving their distress.
• I was also able to help a friend who suffers from recurring depression. He continues to take medication, but at that time, it wasn’t having any effect.
• I was able to help another friend who was going through the end of her marriage and experiencing the depression, grief, and fears that come with it.
• I also try, in my work environment, to do my part, which isn’t always easy, to make it the best it can be and to bring a sense of the peace I am trying to find within myself."6. Is it always this way?
Not always, as there are many reasons why I might not feel that inner peace, but Reiki helps.7. What has my teacher represented for me?
“Things don’t happen by chance” she always says and in the end, I’ll have to believe it. It was fate that brought us together, and it has been very gratifying to meet someone so spiritual, gentle, and full of good intentions, who has “something very special.” I miss the monthly meetings she organizes, which somehow help me recharge that resolve to continue on this good path, as it’s not always easy to keep up with Reiki practices for various reasons."
Joaquin Vargas
"I approached the Reiki course with excitement, wanting to experience an opening of energy and something new. It was fantastic for me. I didn’t see lights or beings; I am absolutely atheist, but I opened myself to the energy, to my emotions, and to connecting with the whole. When I do self-healing, I feel a connection and feel that everything is alright, that I am fully present in the moment. It’s a wonderful feeling."
Dolors Garcia Vivero
"Reiki is a practice or habit that I believe everyone should incorporate into their lives. It provides energy and confidence. I visited Hande at a time when I felt very discouraged by various things affecting me, and I didn’t know how to recover. All I knew was that I didn’t want to turn to medication that could harm me further. I’d read about this therapy and decided to try it with Hande. From the first call, I felt good energy, and my first session was calm and gentle. I didn’t experience flashes of light or strong sensations like some describe, but I certainly felt better.
With each session, I experienced different feelings, and I can truly say that I feel well. Reiki is something you experience; it’s difficult to describe technically. I believe the therapist is key. I fully trust Hande; she is professional and knowledgeable. Thank you, Hande, for your help... It has been, and continues to be, a pleasure."
Nuria Blanco Arenas
"I took the initiation course for the first and second levels, and I was very pleased with the course and the way Hande treated us. It was very comfortable, like a little family. With Reiki, it requires constancy and patience. The best thing is that Reiki also gives you that constancy and patience."
Patricil Esteban
"I have been initiated in Reiki for a year now, and I wish I had done it sooner because it has helped me see and understand things I couldn’t before, and it has also allowed me to help myself and others."
Ivan Ferrer López
"For me, the Reiki course has been very rewarding on a personal level. I’ve only done the first level initiation, but even with that, a new world opens up as you practice. I’m genuinely happy and looking forward to moving on to the second level."
Merce Domenech Ferret
"I started practicing Reiki on a friend’s recommendation because I suffered from frequent back pain due to a misalignment that caused constant tension. My friend, who is a physiotherapist, got tired of giving me massages and suggested Reiki, thinking it might be more effective. Searching online, I found Hande and her Reiki course, which seemed like an affordable way to treat myself, as I usually like to do things on my own. This is how my Reiki experience began, and I can say it has changed my life. Not only do I no longer have tension, but my life is less stressful. I feel stronger, more decisive, and secure in myself.
I believe my back and headaches were due to stress and the pressure to achieve something, but now I see things from a calmer perspective. I move at a slower pace, confidently and enjoying the moment; time no longer obsesses me. My body is at peace, and my mind rests. Recently, I’ve gone through major changes in my personal life, and I’m in a phase where I need solitude, personal, and spiritual growth. I feel Reiki has helped a lot in this regard and will continue to do so.
Until now, I hadn’t dared to perform Reiki on others, maybe because I wasn’t confident about the results or my ability. However, I now recommend it to everyone; I want the well-being I feel to reach as many people as possible. During the holidays, I started practicing with my mother and sister, and afterward, I felt as relaxed as I do when practicing on myself. I believe this shows I’m ready to share with others what Reiki has brought me, although I still need a lot of practice."
Dolores Carrasco
"First, I want to thank Hande for giving us the opportunity to express our experiences, both in the initiations and in our personal lives, and to bear witness to the potential of this therapy at all levels.
My feelings during the level initiations varied, increasing in sensory, emotional, and spiritual intensity. The first time, the sensation was minimal, perhaps because it was my first contact. However, during the second level, my feelings changed. I felt the energy moving through my aura and filling my body with a gentle light I had never perceived before.
Months later, having practiced what Hande taught me, I felt something was missing in my energy channels and transmissions. I decided to talk to her about this feeling, and after an in-depth discussion, we agreed that I would receive the third level to grow both energetically and personally, filling the void I had noticed.
I must say it was a significant step forward in every way. From the beginning of the third initiation, my feelings intensified throughout the session, as if my spiritual body was preparing for the final moment of the channeling. The sensations I experienced at this third level were much stronger than in the first two levels; I felt the energetic movement in every part of my being. I even reached a moment of emotional fullness, where joy and sadness blended into a mix that was initially hard to control but gradually calmed down, bringing an indescribable inner peace.
After receiving this third level, I can say that the void I felt began to fill as I put it into practice. Every day, I learn more and understand things I didn’t before. This does not mean everyone needs all three levels; I know therapists who are fully satisfied with just the first level.
Reiki is a therapy that, when practiced, shared, or studied, fills that emptiness we often feel without knowing why. When you look back after an initiation, you see how that void has turned into a space of pure essence where emotions and thoughts flow, from which you can gain wisdom if you listen, analyze, and put it into practice."
Jaime Jordán
"Describing how Reiki energy has manifested in my life goes far beyond what I can put into words. I came to it when I was ready, through something as simple as reading a book that had been sitting on my nightstand for months. I started reading it each night but never got past the first few pages. One day, after finally finishing it, I felt great joy as if something new had opened before me and an intense desire to fill myself with this energy I could only perceive at that moment. From that point, everything began to fall into place until I reached my current connection with Reiki.
This is what I told Hande in our initial interview before starting the Reiki courses. Since then, it has been more than two years and four levels, reaching mastery. Over these years, I have learned to live differently from what I was used to; situations that come my way are no longer burdens or problems. I now face them with confidence, calmness, and the conviction that they will be resolved, and I am thankful every day for the results.
I firmly believe that after being initiated into Reiki, my life changed. Many doors opened that I could not see before. I now understand each situation in which I find myself, whether directly or indirectly, and why I am there.
A year ago, I told Hande that since being in communion with Reiki energy, I had encountered people facing similar situations and felt joy in helping them overcome them, supporting them, and understanding them. Understanding the people who walk with me, whether permanently or just for short stretches, is something I am always grateful for. Reacting calmly to their experiences and seeing them from a new perspective, from love, makes each moment with them unique. It is true that there are still situations that affect me, but soon the calm and serenity of this energy return, and with it, I can see the path forward and the results that will come.
As I mentioned at the beginning, Reiki energy came to me at just the right time. After being initiated into the first and second levels, I experienced powerful personal experiences, both in meaning and the people involved. I may have overcome them in some way, but with Reiki energy and the support of Hande and everyone who sent energy, I always had confidence that the results would be positive. Reiki confirmed it, and I understood that everything happens for a reason.
More and more, I feel the communion of Reiki energy in each situation I face; I feel how it gives me answers and fills me with peace, serenity, and love. I am clear that each day there is a long road to travel and new opportunities to take in the wonderful things in life, so every day I am more willing to walk it, convinced that everything is for the best. I often catch myself noticing scenes I used to overlook and smiling with joy at them. As I said before, Reiki has changed me, and I am happy it happened.
A few months ago, someone asked me:
‘Do you really believe in love?’
My answer was immediate, coming from within, and I replied:
‘I firmly believe in love. I go to sleep convinced that I have lived it, and I wake up certain that it will always be with me.’After saying it, I felt deeply grateful to be able to express this great love for everything and everyone, with total freedom and conviction. For these reasons and many more, I am eternally grateful to be in communion with Reiki energy, grateful to Hande and to each of you, and grateful to always be able to say from my heart in my self-healing:
‘I am the one who wakes up happy and goes to sleep grateful every day.’THANK YOU."
