the skill, technique and intuition of a Master

“I’ve recently had the good fortune to experience an energy healing session from Anne Bentzen. Anne has the presence of an Angel plus the skill, technique and intuition of a Master. Her energy is soft, sensitive, warm, radiant, relaxing, penetrating and deeply healing. I consider hers to be among the best healings I’ve ever received and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a truly wonderful healer.”

— G. Krachel A Healer’s Healer

truly a spiritual experience

​”Thank you Anne for being you and the type of Reiki teacher you are. You made learning it truly a spiritual experience. Your caring and nurturing qualities helped me go beyond my own capacity to learn. Your approach, ability to teach, and your genuine love of Reiki assisted my grasping this knowledge. I know many Reiki Masters but, it was your inner qualities of love and joy for Jikiden Reiki that made me choose to study with you. As I continue to embrace my journey of Jikiden Reiki, I want to take this time to thank you for helping me in learning to appreciate the power of Reiki during my Shoden class.  You, Anne Bentzen, are a truly wonderful teacher well worth acknowledging!”​

-JoAnn M.

gentle and powerful, knowledgeable and 100% committed

“I have known and, and taken Reiki Levels 1 and 2 from three different Reiki Masters…I learned more in one class with Anne than I did with the complete classes of my other 2 masters. Anne has a quiet passion when it comes to Reiki. This permeating passion exudes from her spirit (and remarkable hands) and she generously shares it with any person who has an interest in learning about Reiki. She is gentle and powerful, knowledgeable and 100% committed to each person’s wellness through this remarkable form of energy healing.”

– B. English

I cannot sing her praises highly enough

“Anne Bentzen is an experienced and dedicated professional who has treated me using Reiki dozens of times, as well as done Esoteric Healing on me long distance. She is gentle and caring, offering physical relaxation and healing to both my body and soul. She has gifted hands and uses different adjuncts to increase the effectiveness of the healing (e.g., crystals, incense, music). I cannot sing her praises highly enough. Anne has increased my understanding of spiritual matters, calmed my emotions and opened my heart. I think anyone who uses her will benefit tremendously from her energy, her knowledge and her delightful way of being.”

– I. Bindman, Ph.D.

rebalanced my system with emotional healing

“I am deeply grateful to Anne for her wisdom, compassionate nature and desire to see me transformed. My body was suffering from a very stressful year and overwork. I found that her Reiki sessions relieved pain, inflammation, edema and restored healthy sleep patterns as well as my energy. She gently rebalanced my system with emotional healing to help me to release old traumas from my tissues and embrace new personal perspectives. This has been such a blessing for me. Much gratitude.”

-J. Yates

a profound healing session

“Dear Anne, I wanted to tell you what a profound healing session I had with you. You are such a gifted healer. I feel I turned a corner after your session.” – K. Shelhart

Restorative healing

“Thank you, Anne, for helping me with your healing gifts to slowly rebuild my health. My health would have suffered a lot if I had not seen you for 3 visits in 10 days to help me have the energy to manage moving and renovations. I am very grateful for your passion for Reiki.” – J. Yates

a new level of well-being and spiritual awareness

“Thank you, Anne, for the gift of Reiki. Each healing session has resulted in a new level of well-being and spiritual awareness. My first session released long-suppressed emotions and healed my gall bladder pain. Another session awakened a formerly-unimagined, pervasive sense of joy. It strengthened my sense of connection with everyone and everything. Yet another gave me the realization that I had never fully committed to life in this world and helped me to finally feel grounded. Thank you for your insights and your skillful, intuitive healing.”

– G. Christie
