Dear Juma Health and Yoga, I wish to express my gratitude to you for the ‘healing’ services and support you offer to the community. In the past I have received benefits from massage, nutritional advice, Yoga, and Reiki. I experienced my recent Reiki Therapy as a session of deep relaxation which was soothing and comforting. I booked in with Amanda who started the session with gentle verbal guidance in relation to where I was at with challenges and what I was hoping to achieve from the Therapy. Amanda’s approach was professional yet welcoming, warm and non-judgemental; – immediately putting me at ease which contributed to a feeling of being in a ‘safe-place’. I was surprized at a couple of challenges which began to present themselves to me as a result of, (what I feel is), Amanda’s instinctual ability to target ...underlying important issues... At that time I did not go into them; – no pressure from Amanda, - even though it would have been appropriate. But, it did not matter because the fact that I acknowledged a couple of issues, in my mind, was progress for me. The Reiki room was pleasantly arranged and the massage table/bed was comfortable. Amanda checked that I was as comfortable as possible. Nothing seemed to be too much trouble in the offering of adjustments to temperature, pillows, blankets, water or positioning for maximum relaxation. Amanda suggested that I try deeper breaths as I closed my eyes. From there I was aware of Amanda around different sides of the table. She used crystals, I think, and a Tibetan Bowl and music. -- It was a beautiful experience. Now, it is difficult for a novice who is fully aware that there are different levels and types of Energy Therapy and Yoga. Also, I am aware that there are multi-faceted aspects of the different levels involved such as physical/biological; psychological/emotional; spiritual and social/community, etc. And that is what I acknowledge and know but I have no deep understanding of the ...philosophy... - I am uneducated and just looking through a frosted glass and certainly do not comprehend the lingo/vocab. So, all I can say here is that when the Reiki lying-down part was over and we looked at and talked to a couple of cards that I chose; - while I drank my water; - I gradually became aware of different levels of my ‘being’ that were ??awakened or spoken to; - but I knew that some healing was happening on different levels and I do not have the words. I was also aware of a couple of actions I needed to do and that it was my responsibility to address them. There was no need to discuss and no clarification was necessary. Amanda, appeared, to me, to have an ....essence... of compassionate wisdom which is felt even if she communicates non-verbally. Amanda, kindly took photos of my chosen cards and the explanations associated and sent them to me so that I could review them which was very helpful as with subsequent readings and looking at the photos – some learnings/lessons were reinforced and quite new concepts arose which incredibly fitted in with the learnings/lessons from the Reiki. So, the benefits continued for a few days. Thank you again to you all at Juma Health and Yoga and I wish for you much peace, happiness and good health.

Amanda has a beautiful studio set in a lush tropical garden, a wonderful setting. I feel completely safe and nurtured by Amanda. She doesn't rush the reiki session and she ensures that she understands what I hope to take away before the session begins. She often uses tarot cards or angel cards to help with this process. During the session I feel like my body soaks up energy that is manifested. After the session I feel clear and that I have moved on from the issues I brought with me into the session. Reiki with Amanda keeps me relaxed and brings inner peace.

Amanda’s sensitive, intuitive approach enables her to tailor treatments for every client. Her thorough preparation and attention to detail creates a deeply meaningful experience. Each time creating space for releasing, healing and restoring.

I explored the benefits of Reiki treatments as an alternative to traditional medicines to assist with my recovery after weeks of illness and stress. Amanda's one on one consultation and intuitive conversations, spiritual readings and her reiki treatment helped clarify my thoughts and feelings. I left the sessions having experienced a variety of sensations, feeling calmer, supported emotionally and guided to reflect on some key issues impacting on my recovery. It is a very personal, powerful experience that I know is very different for everyone.I recommend it as a very worthwhile healing alternate.

I am grateful for all that Amanda from Juma Yoga has shared and given to us. Over the years that I've attended Yoga classes I have experienced many benefits. Also, the Meditation sessions, Restorative and Nidra Yoga and the Yoga Retreat, I went to, have all enhanced my physical, emotional and spiritual growth. Yoga classes cover many aspects of 'Yoga' and Amanda gives clear guidance and instructions with poses. Plus, she gives explanations in regards to the background and reasons for performing various actions; - which bring increased understanding and learning. Her knowledge of the body's anatomy as well as the emotional and spiritual inter-connectedness and interrelationship all enhance classes and interactions with Amanda. Amanda is approachable and demonstrates genuine compassionate wisdom with intuitive insight. Her joyful & positive attitude and encouragement during classes make the Yoga sessions happy and, in some ways, therapeutic ones.
