“Thank you, Sonja, for providing me with such an excellent introduction to Reiki. Your loveliness, intuition and advanced knowledge make you an exceptional teacher who I would recommend to anyone, at any stage. I enjoyed a fabulous day!” B. Munro


“Reiki I was fantastic. It was a taste of something natural to me but had been partly forgotten. Being introduced to Reiki through Sonja was a major step on my journey “home”. Thank you Sonja and the Reiki Guides for this grace. I would recommend this course for anyone wishing to reconnect to their inner journey & join the service of healing.” Tony, August 09


“I had quite a lot of fear about receiving the Reiki I Attunement but felt drawn to receive it. Kerry was gentle and supportive and reassuring. Once I felt the energies in my hands, faith in the beauty of Reiki stopped my negative mind chatter. This is a bigger journey than I imagined – my spirit is ready and my mind is catching up!” Helen  27.01.2010


“You have helped me in more ways than I can imagine Sonja.  Not only have I been attuned and am able to channel universal healing energy to others, you have enabled me to go within to discover things about myself that are incredibly important for the healing of the planet. Since Reiki I I have been on a journey of personal healing. This can only make me a better Reiki practitioner. It is not just a matter of Reiki, but a discovery of one’s healing potential and opening us up to loving others unconditionally… with no judgement. However, that is also Reiki. Healing and loving unconditionally aren’t separate, they are one, just as we are all one. Beautiful loving beings with no other purpose other than to love one another and to come back home. You helped me come back home to my heart and to bring more light into my soul. My soul wants to be here as long as she can because she has a beautiful purpose. I am smiling and have little tears, because I now know.  Thank you from my heart and soul.” Sue, Newcastle

Reiki II/Master Intensive

“The Reiki space created by two loving and committed Tanran Reiki Masters in Sonja and Kerry for our Reiki II/Master Training Intensive was perfect to receive Tanran Reiki energy and attunements. Each of our wonderful group were enabled by them to embrace their unique life purpose and paths through Reiki. Thank you from my heart to those special people in my Reiki group, who shared their gifts and love so generously and to Sonja and Kerry for your very special gifts to us all. You both encouraged and guided me to again accept and embrace fully the gift of Reiki into my life’s journey. I have returned to my Reiki path and its call to healing. Thank you.” John Elliott 16-18 July 2010

“Throughout the Reiki II & Master Intensive weekend I felt I stepped into myself, the layers completely lifted. Clarity emerged and I suddenly could feel and see through the eyes of truth. Finding my way home to a place so serene and peaceful. What a blissful state and wonderful feeling of “Ah, so this is how it’s supposed to be.”, smiling from deep within. This course is not only about unleashing the healer within you, but also about self discovery. I have never felt more comfortable to be myself in any other learning environment and that in itself was an amazing feeling for me. I was (we all were) immersed in absolute unconditional love and I witnessed this bringing the best out of everyone in the group. Thank you all that were a part of the weekend and thank you to Sonja and Kerry who were not only my link to Reiki, but my two beautiful friends.” Jane, 14/12/09


“The journey of the workshop, training and attunements has been the most profound experience of my life. I feel real for the first time. I feel I have broken through the shadows of my heart. This is the gift the Tanran Reiki circle has given me and I am overwhelmed! May Love rekindle the heart of the world. May Reiki shine the way.” Helen J. Rubeli 18.05.2010


Sonja & Kerry put their hearts & souls & a whole lot more into this course. They are extremely professional but at the same time very personal and every participant is made to feel special. It was so much more deeply spiritual & more of a personal journey than I expected. After the 2 ½ days I felt as I do after a week-long meditation retreat – and I have been rarely out of ‘the zone’ since. Thank you!” Amanda Lee 26/03/2010


“Being alongside Sonja and Kerry is a gift as far as the support and love they offer to us as students is so unconditional and caring.  My soul has been yearning for healing and for a loving touch that has no judgements or conditions attached.  I realized on this weekend that this healing and love was present as we sat in the room as oneness and listened to Sonja and Kerry share with us their knowledge and wisdom and love of Reiki.  So I have been able to bring this into my day.  It is so fantastic to feel that within and then to be able to share it with others.  Sonja taught me to stand in my power and to love it.  Reiki is also delivering that to me on a daily basis as I practice what I have learned, or really, what my soul already knows. This is the healing I have been yearning for, and I thank Sonja and Kerry for guiding me towards that.  Thank you for your love and honesty.” Sue Atkinson


“What a wonderful workshop! Sonja is a living breathing example of the true beauty and nature of Reiki. This workshop is recommended for anyone who is interested in taking their Reiki practice to a whole new level, and open to learning a lot about themselves along the way. Thank you, Sonja. Angie Savva, June 09 


“I cannot recommend Sonja’s Level 2/3 Reiki course highly enough. Everything about it was wonderful, from Sonja’s warm and loving personality, her stunningly beautiful home office and environment, to the presentation of the course material and practical experience. I feel truly blessed to have been able to attend this workshop and have gained an enormous amount of confidence in my ability as a Reiki Practitioner. “ Vicki, July 09


“This 2.5 day Reiki II and Master Attunement weekend was not only the teaching of techniques – it was a true experience of Reiki. Sonja and Kerry provided the perfect environment and with their support and wisdom allowed me to receive the attunement in a way that was just right for me. Thanks Sonja and Kerry for a great experience.” Danny Lewis – Counsellor and Hypnotherapist 24.3.10


“Since completing Reiki I with Sonja, my entire life has changed. It was only natural that I complete my Master Level with her as well. What a spiritual journey!” Melissa


“We are spiritual beings having a physical encounter. If you are looking for a soul filled experience and verification of that statement, spend some time with Sonja in her Reiki course. I did, and on my own journey, currently described as “a study of love”, Sonja’s course was a blessing. Delivered with an attunement to her own spirit, shared with love and an understanding of the true essence of Reiki, Sonja is deeply committed and passionate to her purpose. Sonja brought together the participants in a communion of their souls to share a glimpse of the possibilities of Love. Peace and Joy to you, Sonja, Thank You for being you.” Phillip Rankin, Balance Energy Australia, Newcastle

 

“What made this course memorable for me is the honest intent of the course facilitator, Sonja Bollnow. She embodied a beautiful loving intent for all, that was felt by all. Using her higher guidance the course unfolded as it was meant to, so I not only learnt new techniques, it also reinforced & instilled the essence of an open heart. To love and honour others & ourselves. To allow ourselves & others to grow & learn without pressure or judgement. This I have felt and learnt before, although within this course it was the underlying energy from a clear, honest, loving intent that moved me.” Kevin Hatton, June 09


“The Reiki II/Master Intensive Weekend was a truly beautiful and energising experience for me. Not only did I increase my awareness of living in the energy, I also felt at peace with myself and amazingly comfortable in the presence of Sonja and my fellow Reiki buddies. I now feel closer to being ready to offer this healing modality within my private practice and am living and loving.” Tania Gorton, Consulting Psychologist, September 09


“I had been attuned to Reiki Level 2 and have been in contact with quite a few Reiki teachers before coming to your workshop, Sonja. But what makes you different from others is, you made me aware of my own energy. I made an important discovery that one could be sheltered without any exterior protection. I felt very strong vibrations within myself and this began from the very first moment I entered into your peaceful house. Thanks Sonja for being my teacher, guru, guide and friend.” Alika Prasad, November 09


“Receiving the attunement to Reiki Master has changed me and brought me closer to my true state. I feel privileged to now be part of a healing power that does not discriminate – and flows to all with pure love and intelligence.” Tony


As a man well into his fifties it is very easy to walk a road that is safe and known. It is also very easy to consider that the wisdom of ones years provides the best path forward for the future. Time spent with Sonja when completing my Reiki I, II & Masters learning proved to me that there is always more to experience. As well, Sonja presents her courses in a manner that enables her students to understand that the peace and serenity that she experiences and lives through Reiki is both achievable and desirable. When passing on the Universal Love and Healing to others I will always be reminded of Sonja’s personal approach to teaching as well as her passion to make the world a better place.” Philip, Newcastle


“A beautiful weekend, very much love and support given by Kerry and Sonja. Having the Master Attunement with Sonja was a very beautiful moment. I thank them both for their loving guidance throughout my journey and am glad I was guided to learn Reiki from Sonja and Kerry. Two beautiful souls. Thank you.” Tracie Welsh 18.03.2010
