Testimonials from people who have worked with us:

Thank-you for your amazing group session. My family and myself attended a group reiki session with Ray. Who truly is an inspiration and whole heartedly loves his craft. To encourage support and guide others is truly his life's aim. His teaching style is unique. Being able to engage adults and young adults at the same time is not an easy thing to do and Ray did it with ease always willing to stop to answer questions (there were many questions) and keep everyone engaged for over an hour was amazing. A Very insightful, for filling and relaxing experience and we can't wait to come to another session. Ray is an amazing teacher and guide. And always willing to explain as much as he can it was a true pleasure to be in the presence of such an extraordinary man. Thank-you xx

I am so proud of Ray (aka The Modern Alchemist) he has come such a long way in both his professional and personal journey. I have had the privilege and joy to work with him on his Reiki Journey and discovery of his authentic self. There is something very honest, unique, and tender about how Ray works. He understands you from where you are, not where he is and this is because to some degree he has either been where you are or his empathic understanding of you, allows him to listen without judgement, and be present with only the truest sense of love and sincerity.

Ray is a beautiful soul who has done a few readings for me. To be honest, I wasn’t totally convinced that anything useful would come from tarot, before the first reading with Ray. However, literally everything he said is completely spot on… Sometimes the messages are exactly what we need to hear, (even if we don’t like it) … Sometimes the readings touch on things that only I myself know, so they are very surprising! However the cards have been dealt, I have always learned a lot from the readings, and I have used this knowledge to release a lot of negative energy in my life. Ray also did a round of tapping therapy with me, which was very emotional, but also very empowering too… Honest, kind, knowledgeable, and completely trustworthy… Ray has an amazing spiritual energy that brushes off on everyone he meets, and I would not hesitate to recommend his services to anyone!

Dear Ray, just wanted to let you know you have got a scientist very puzzled. Not sure if I told you I'm disabled, but I watched your video from 24 April. Of course I'm a skeptic, but I'm an open minded skeptic, which is kinda why I was watching. Since watching it, I've not required any of my normal painkillers! I'm not even going to try and explain as I wouldn't know where to start, but a big thank you!!

I always feel wonderful after treatment. You really relax me and your reiki room is lovely. Such a wonderful calm place to be in. I always sleep well after treatment and feel better in the morning for it.

Having never experienced Reiki before I was sceptical about the whole thing. Ray was very friendly and made me feel completely at ease. I expected nothing to happen but I was amazed! My very first session was incredible. I ended that session feeling less tension and refreshed. I even had a short nap! It worked beyond what I believed it would. So much so that I started learning Reiki after my first session with Ray. Thank you!

Having never been a spiritual person, I wasn't sure what to expect in my Reiki session, but Ray gave me such a wonderful and relaxing space to process past experiences in a way I'd never given myself the chance to. I came out of the room with a much better understanding of my own emotions, thanks to his fantastic guidance!

Ray performed reiki on me last week when I felt I needed some spiritual healing after losing a dear friend of mine to cancer. Ray made me feel totally at ease and very comfortable, he is a lovely person who is easy to talk too. I came away from the session feeling very relaxed and had the best nights sleep I've had in a few weeks. I would highly recommend The Modern Alchemist to anyone needing a bit of reiki xx
