"Dana truly has a gift for healing those around her. She has done reiki on me multiple times, and every time she has validated my experiences after her sessions. There’s no denying how intuitive she is while practicing her energy work, as she has given my body exactly what it needs and has helped me release blockages that I’ve struggled to release in therapy. Dana is so kind and compassionate with the way she holds space for me during my healing journey through reiki, and I will continue to go to her for it for sure! Highly recommend!"

"When people think of Reiki, they mostly think of the physical benefits, the healing of bodily ailments, etc., but they may not be aware of the profound emotional impact it can have, as well.

I had my first Reiki experience when I volunteered as a patient for Dana Katz, as she was completing an advanced training course with the Awareness Shop in New Paltz, NY. As she passed her hands around my body, I experienced the warmth coursing through it, which is typical of all good ‘Reiki’. What followed, though, was unexpected. I had for years, since the passing of both my parents, been unable to express grief of any kind. Where once I was a deeply emotional person, I was now incapable of a single tear. I thought I was losing my mind, and was becoming a unfeeling sociopath, incapable of human emotion.

Dana’s brief session changed all that. It was as though a cork had been pulled, and suddenly all the emotions that had been penned up for nearly a decade came pouring out. And it was exhilarating! I was crying again! I could listen to sad songs, or watch a sad movie with tears streaming down my face. And at long last, I was able to properly grieve my family members. That all this happened immediately following her Reiki session cannot be denied."

"My reiki experience with Dana was incredibly healing. The advice and information she provided beforehand really enhanced my experience and allowed me to be open. The space that Dana provided allowed me to feel comfortable and let go enough to reap the benefits of this practice. It was my first ever reiki session and I couldn't have had a better experience."

"Dana has created a lovely atmosphere for healing work. Her touch and presence is warm, accepting and invites total relaxation. I always lose track of time --I can be very fidgety and have trouble clearing my mind but on Dana's table that all changes. Her Reiki fills me with such peace, warmth, joy and contentment that I lay there smiling silly and am surprised to learn an hour has gone by. She is deeply intuitive and has reported images and feelings to me during our debrief afterwards which were important to me and also brought insight, comfort and optimism to life transitions I found myself in."
