"I’m walking away from this course with clarity, confidence, and a renewed connection to my own healing abilities."

Taking this Energy Healing Certification course with Ahtayaa has been a truly transformative experience. It’s absolutely incredible value for money, not only do you receive in-depth knowledge and clear guidance, but also plenty of practical exercises that help you integrate everything on a deep level.

The meditations, activations, and healing sessions included are powerful and soul-expanding, often feeling like a teleportation to the next level of consciousness and personal evolution.

Ahtayaa’s energy is so warm, wise, and nurturing, you feel genuinely supported and uplifted throughout the entire journey. I’m walking away from this course with clarity, confidence, and a renewed connection to my own healing abilities.

I highly recommend it to anyone ready to step into their true power as a healer.

With deep gratitude, Anna, Ananda Ethereal Healing

"Since the treatment, Nicole has had no desire for any addictive substance whatsoever. She has found a new job and a new place to live, and is determined to change her whole life."

My son is a musician with a recording studio. One night he was working with a singer named Nicole when he heard a crash in the bathroom. He broke the door in and found her unconscious. She had overdosed. The medics said five more minutes and she would have died.

A week later, my son asked if they could come to me for a session. I cleared the room, sat Nicole down, and worked with the Golden Ray, connecting to my heart’s central sun, Mother Gaia, and Source, calling in Archangels Michael, Raphael, Uriel, and Gabriel.

Since the treatment, Nicole has had no desire for any addictive substance whatsoever, alcohol, drugs, none of it. She has found a new job and a new place to live, and is determined to change her whole life. She told me it was the first time in her life she’d felt anything like family.

Each treatment I have been privileged to give has resulted in life-changing results for the recipients. My only desire is to become a clear channel and simply be that light in all that I do.

Peace, Love and Light, Vicki Voigt

"I am a mental health nurse by trade, and this year I walked away from ward nursing. I am so proud to stand in my power as a true healer, this was who I was always meant to be."

I have loved everything about this course, and it was exceptional value for money. Ahtayaa, how you described the chakras and the energy field particularly resonated with me, because that is how I see it too, but I always thought I was wrong since the literature I’d come across always talked about linear flow.

I also felt your emphasis on the heart was so powerful. I always felt inadequate because I thought I had to have huge visions to be of value in spiritual work. Now that I’ve released that attachment, the clairvoyance is growing more than I could have ever imagined.

My vision is almost here. My clinic is called Heart Blueprint Wellbeing Arts: mind-body therapy doing coaching, counselling, fascia work, and Reiki. I am a mental health nurse by trade, and this year I walked away from ward nursing, because the hospital environments are often oppressive.

I have come to understand that all my life experiences, even the traumas, are beautiful, because they have led me to this point. This course hugely facilitated that shift in perception, and I am so proud to stand in my power as a true healer, this was who I was always meant to be.

Ten thousand blessings to you, Tayla White

"I reconnected with my dad who in 1985 committed suicide. Tears streamed down my face as we embraced after so much time gone by."

I’ve been doing much of this work for the past 20+ years, so I was familiar with things in the course, but the timing was divine. I am ready to ascend and serve others on a much bigger scale.

In the ancestral journey I connected with my two spirit guides, Ariel and Christian, that I discovered in 2007. I also reconnected with my dad who in 1985 committed suicide. Tears streamed down my face as we embraced after so much time gone by.

The Golden Ray attunement was powerful. Just after, I felt an overwhelming sense of love and peace, and the colors outside became more vivid. The Reiki attunement was also very powerful. When I was coming out of the meditation, I felt my whole body shaking from one side to the other, almost as if I was being wrung out.

I feel honored that I was chosen to be one of the light workers and earth angels to help others. Thank you so much for the beautiful work you do, I’m so excited to go out into the world and serve.

Thank you, thank you, thank you. Namaste, Kelly Adolphson

"Although I initially struggled with imposter syndrome, the course truly helped me gain confidence in my abilities and trust my intuition as a healer."

I found this course to be incredibly valuable, offering a wealth of information that has deepened my understanding of various healing modalities. The Golden Ray really stood out to me, alongside Qi Gong and Reiki.

Prior to starting the course, I had experienced a major energy shift, and my mentor recommended this course, saying I was ready. Although I initially struggled with imposter syndrome, the course truly helped me gain confidence in my abilities and trust my intuition as a healer.

Sound healing, along with distance healing, will be core elements of my work, especially as I have family and contacts around the world. Being able to offer remote healing is invaluable and will allow me to reach and support people no matter where they are.

Overall, I’m incredibly grateful my mentor recommended this course. It’s a fantastic addition to my toolkit as I continue to grow as a healer.

"As a trained scientist, this blew my mind. This was empirical evidence that I did it: I actually healed someone."

I began this course two days after a very close friend of mine passed away from metastatic cancer, after a three year battle. I was struggling quite a bit with my grief, coupled with a sense of guilt from over responsibility. As an energy healer, I tried so hard to make my friend better, and in the end I couldn’t save him. That really hurt, and I had a huge crisis of faith, including doubting my own abilities.

So, to make something positive come out of my grief and rage, I began the Golden Ray Initiations. My third eye felt so open for the last two months, I could feel it even when I wasn’t meditating. There were signs everywhere that I was following the right path.

When I was close to completing all the bonus activations, my wife’s blood tests came back with really elevated liver function markers. I decided it was the perfect time for me to get back into my healing practice, and I used Reiki and the Golden Ray on my wife as we waited for the follow-up tests. When they came back, they were miraculous. There was nothing wrong with her liver, and all her blood markers decreased tenfold, to healthier than they’ve ever been. As a trained scientist, this blew my mind. This was empirical evidence that I did it. I actually healed someone.

In love and light, Ellen

"Healing isn’t always loud or dramatic. It’s often quiet, gentle, and filled with grace, like stardust settling in a still room."

Taking the Energy Healing Certification Course felt like remembering something I’ve always known, but had forgotten in the noise of the world. It wasn’t just about learning techniques or modalities, it was a journey back to my inner wisdom.

Each lesson invited me to slow down, to listen more deeply, not just to others, but to the subtle whispers of my own energy, intuition, and truth. What I loved most was the integrative nature of the course. It didn’t place healing in a box. It honored the sacred and the scientific, the ancient and the modern.

This course helped me trust my hands again. Trust my knowing. Trust that energy moves through us in the most beautiful, unseen ways, and that showing up with intention and presence is sometimes the most powerful medicine of all.

With divine love, light, gratitude, and remembrance, Gabbie

"It helped me connect more fully with my divine self, sharpened my intuitive gifts, and gave me practical tools to embody more light in my daily life."

It all started back in April of 2025, I was watching a Sacred Knowledge Tarot video on YouTube about looking for signs which may resonate. Then the universe brought this course offering into my field, and it was on sale.

This wasn’t just a learning experience, it was a leveling up. It helped me connect more fully with my divine self, sharpened my intuitive gifts, and gave me practical tools to embody more light in my daily life. The transmissions were powerful, yet gentle, perfectly attuned to meet me exactly where I was.

Ahtayaa’s energy is warm, clear, and profoundly supportive, and her voice is so soothing to the soul. She holds space in a way that makes you feel both grounded and expanded. I’m so grateful for this course, it has genuinely shifted me to a higher level of consciousness and clarity.

"I was surprised and encouraged to have a similarly tangible experience during the distant attunement, including seeing purple and gold swirls."

The Energy Healing Certification course covers a broad and valuable range of material while keeping the study content clear, accessible, and easy to understand. The mix of written materials and videos was especially effective, as the videos shared perspectives and experiences from other energy-healing modalities and added depth to the learning.

As a natural healer, the breadth and depth of the course were a real eye-opener. It offered meaningful insights that expanded my understanding of energy healing and helped connect different approaches within the field.

The Distance Reiki attunement was particularly impactful. Having previously received Reiki Level 1 and Level 2 attunements in person, I was surprised and encouraged to have a similarly tangible experience during the distant attunement, including seeing purple and gold swirls.

This course reinforced for me that distance Reiki attunement can be a powerful and authentic experience. Highly recommended!

"This course is created for us to find ourselves, heal ourselves and in the process, we open our mind and ourselves to healing."

I just completed the Energy Healing Certification course, and I have had such a beautiful journey. I began the journey as a calling I had for the past few years but just didn’t take the time to slow down in life to finally listen. Listen to the need to find who I am, who I’m meant to be.

The beginning was difficult for me, just because it felt odd to do something for myself, just for me. I felt almost guilty. But it was the best decision I have made in a very long time. I have overcome so many obstacles, tore down many walls that I built up over the years of my life, and have become just a much better person for myself and for my family just through the process of this certification.

As I am reflecting now, writing this review, I’m realizing this course is created for us to find ourselves, heal ourselves and in the process, we open our mind and ourselves to healing. Healing not only ourselves but the world we live in. To build a healthier and happier place to live and to pass on to generations to come.

Ahtayaa, you will find, is so dedicated to this purpose and to her students. She is compassionate, so knowledgeable, and is filled with the light and love she teaches us to find in our own lives. I can’t say enough about how thankful I am to have found this course in my journey to healing. I hope and pray that this course will find its way into the lives of many people who are looking for a way to not only help themselves but also to bring more light and love to this world we share with each other.

"I wanted very much to truly merge into energy healing and integrate it into my practice, and knew I needed some more structured learning to do it right."

This course was such an amazing piece of my journey. I started working in mediumship 3 years ago after my fiancé passed, and have spent the last several years moving between that and psychic work and shadow work courses, but I wanted very much to truly merge into energy healing and integrate it into my practice, and knew I needed some more structured learning to do it right.

This course was everything I needed and more. Ahtayaa offers the most thorough and understandable insight into so many different modalities, and couples this with absolutely beautiful activations and healing meditations that integrate the curriculum into your energy body in a truly profound way.

On top of its incredible content, the course is extremely accessible and doesn’t break the bank. Thank you so much for this incredible experience, Ahtayaa!

"I was worried about the Reiki portion of the course but it was perfect and exactly what I needed right now at this stage in my life."

I was drawn to energy work after experiencing it myself from distance healings. I had taken a certification about energy alignment but knew that if I wanted to learn more, I wanted it to be an accredited program. I did a lot of research before signing up for this program and I’m so glad I did.

I learned so much about energy, energy healing and most importantly myself. I was worried about the Reiki portion of the course but it was perfect and exactly what I needed right now at this stage in my life. The materials were amazing and I feel really confident going out into the world.

I knew I wanted to help people and never dreamed this would be my path. Every day I do self-Reiki and end with chakra clearing. It’s been amazing to see how it affects my every day life. I know I was called to it, and I know that this course was put in my path at the right time.

I can’t wait to start my journey sharing my knowledge with others and building a life and business around my energy work. I can’t thank you enough for the information you shared and this course.

"I originally enrolled to deepen my ability to help others, but what I didn’t expect was how deeply it would support my own healing journey."

This course has been one of the most transformative experiences of my life. I originally enrolled to deepen my ability to help others, but what I didn’t expect was how deeply it would support my own healing journey.

The curriculum was rich, the teachings were clear and accessible, and the energetic transmissions were profound. I feel empowered, confident, and aligned in my purpose as an energy healing practitioner.

Thank you for offering such a sacred and expansive container for growth. It provided so much more than I ever imagined.

"You have truly made a difference in my life and given me the confidence to keep working as an energy healer."

Thank you Ahtayaa for an amazing course. I can’t believe how incredible value for money this course is! It took me about 4 months to complete, and I have loved every step of the journey. There are so many extra resources available, and it will be a real pleasure to keep exploring and refining my skills.

I want to thank you for what you do. You have truly made a difference in my life and given me the confidence to keep working as an energy healer when I was at a time in my life where I felt that I needed some support and extra tools.

One thing I really love about your course is that you are giving us information about so many energy healing modalities, instead of only focusing on one. That’s exactly what I was looking for. I love doing my own thing and integrating techniques and tools from lots of different modalities.

I felt very supported throughout the course, and the assignments were graded in a timely manner which I really appreciated. I loved your kindness in your messages too.

With infinite gratitude, Cindy
