Heidi's Bio and Testimonials

Scenic002-1.jpg

Heidi Gates, Reiki Master, PCC, A.A., NCBMTB ,  

Heidi comes from a 15-year career in the stock brokerage business.  She effectively coached clients with understanding, personalizing their financial goals.  In 1998, following her own personal dream, she became a Massage Therapist and, in the process, uncovered her gift in what is now recognized as Energy Medicine (Reiki).   

In 2001, she became a Reiki Master of the Usui System of Natural Healing, beginning to offer First and Second Degree classes.  She was accepted into The Reiki Alliance (www.reikialliance.com) in 2002, the same year she developed a 14-week Reiki class at GateKey Center for Health & Learning in Alaska. Since that time, Heidi has developed and offered other Reiki classes along with individualized mentoring and personal growth seminars.

Heidi has come full circle, bridging the logical physical world of her stock brokerage business with the energetic metaphysical world of her Reiki practice through her training as a Life Coach at The Academy for Coaching Excellence (www.academyforcoachingexcellence.com).  She supports clients, in all areas  (mental, physical, spiritual and emotional) to move forward in their lives towards their goals and dreams.  

Heidi travels and teaches in Oregon, Alaska and across the Unitited States and Canada, she is grateful to be connected with several communities and for the time she is nestled into her home in Oregon.  She offers Workshops, Seminars, Reiki Treatments, Life Coaching Sessions and Book Study Groups (these Book Studies are based on the book:  The Energy of Money by Maria Nemeth, Ph.D.)  Treatments, Sessions and Book Studies are done both in person and on the telephone.

Heidi is committed to teaching all who have the desire and willingness to heal themselves and, in so doing, heal others...and this world which we share.

Distance Reiki Treatment Testimonial
 
     I first contacted Heidi about her Reiki treatments after reading an article on Reiki in Prevention Magazine.  I was feeling low on energy, again, and decided that I was ready to try a new approach.  The concept of receiving Reiki treatments at a distance seemed suspicious to me.  It was hard to get my mind around "how that would work", but I felt an immediate sense of rapport with Heidi and found I was willing to take it one session at a time and see for myself.  I am so glad I did!  Even after the first session, I felt relaxed yet invigorated.  In the weeks that followed, I discovered that it was easier to "get myself" to make healthier choices in my everyday life.  The accumulattive effect has been transformational for me!  The energy and support of the Reiki Distance Sessions have enpowered me to become clearer about what a healthy life looks like for me.  And Heidi's insights and encouragement have supported me in seeing the best in myself and making appropriate changes one step at a time.  I feel a greater sense of confidence in my own body than I ever have before.  My Reiki Distance Sessions also opened the door to personal growth in areas I couldn't have predicted.  I am stronger and take better care of myself that I have ever found the motivation to before.  As a treatment for my low energy, Reiki was a rewarding investment.  But beyond that, Reiki has brought a greater sense of excitement and satisfaction to my life as a whole.  Thank you Heidi! 
 
 

Four Consecutive Reiki Sessions
 
"Time sped up, taking 96 hours instead of 3 years to make a difference."
 
and
 
"Instead of taking years, it has taken just four days on this path."
 
and
 
"I had lost everything in my life, and now I feel like I am coming back".
 
 

10 Coaching Sessions Testimonial
 
"My life was already pretty good when I signed up for 10 Coaching Sessions with Heidi.  I could see that I had a lot of resources and possibilities in front of me, but I didn’t have the mental framework to move forward with clarity and ease.  I knew I had a good life, and that I was accomplishing things, but I didn’t have a life that felt like my own.  I was missing the insights that would transform my busy life into a satisfying life.  After 10 sessions I now feel that I can confidently identify what matters most to me.  I am clear about what I value, who I am, and what I want to contribute to this world.  I feel a sense of connection between who I am and all the little choices I make in how I use my energy.  The fear of making mistakes is no longer a driving force in my decision making process.  I am able to see the excitement in taking risks and stepping outside my comfort zone.  The growth in my personal and business life has been phenomenal!  I have taken steps that I wouldn’t have believed possible for me only a year ago!  I now understand how personal growth works for me.  And the process itself has been fun and encouraging!  I didn’t have to grit my teeth and make myself do it.  Heidi was able to guide me through the steps to a richer and more compelling life.  I felt her support and encouragement every step of the way.  I would strongly recommend 10 Coaching Sessions to anyone interested in living their version of a rich life!  Thank you Heidi!"     Judy Gardner
