Thanks so much for the help the Akashic reading provided, as well as the tape. I have about worn it out listening to it and seem to get something new from it each time...depending on where my soul is at the time I would guess. Jan
I’d never had an Akashic Reading before and didn't know what to expect. After having my first Akashic Reading from Colleen, I was filled with an excitement and joy that I hadn't felt in a long time. In the course of the reading there was laughter, tears, surprise, and a clearing that has allowed me to have peaceful dreams about my deceased husband that I was unable to have in the 18 years since he made his transition. The reading was powerful, enlightening and inspiring. I've been high on life ever since. Life is good and getting better. That's my new affirmation since having my reading with Colleen. – Vivian - Downers Grove, IL
Learning how to enter and explore the records for yourself or another person opens a whole new dimension on life. The records expose the needs you have currently in your life, shed light on your past experiences and guide you in your future. Colleen has a unique ability to help you develop the Akashic work and does it with skill and enthusiasm. - Pam Catlin
"I have thoroughly enjoyed being a student in Colleen's various classes. (Reiki and the Akashic Records) Colleen has a soothing blend of qualities. Her teaching style is very professional while maintaining a compassionate nature. Colleen welcomes free expression and encourages independence. She is very knowledgeable and brings a wealth of experience to the class room. Colleen serves as a mentor to many as they journey through life." - Marcia Flory
"I have had several readings with Colleen and each one has been very enlightening and all future events discussed have actually occured. I find it reassuring to be able to get actual answers rather than just opinions or translations. The info I have gotten has given me a tremendous piece of mind while going through trying times." - Tracy
I found Colleen through Sonia Choquette's Website. From my first correspondence with Colleen, I found her to be very engaging and very secure with her gift. Upon completion of my Askashic Records Reading, I felt a sense of peace, like I had reached an important milestone in my life. This would not have been possible had I not been able to consult with Colleen. Colleen's gift is real, her ability magnificent and her kindness beyond expectation. I have recommended her several times over, she is that wonderful and I will continue to consult with her as needed in my life. - Teresa - Davenport, Ia
"Colleen Helgerson has the gift of giving readings that are in depth, accurate, instructional & soulful. Her guidance has been invaluable." -Madeline Chicago, Illinois
As an Intuitive reader Colleen is very trustworthy and caring. Her readings have been informative, individual and private. Thank you Colleen! Kim - Bellevue
I received my reading @ the beginning of July and I am still learning from the tape you sent while recording these beautiful messages and words of wisdom. You are truly a divine spirit sent from our vast spiritual support system and I have never felt so blessed to have worked with anyone other than our teacher - Sonia Choquette. Words cannot describe my gratitude and immense energy which I continue to feel. Every time I listen to our recorded session, I continue to learn from it. I cannot wait to work with you again one day! To work with you in person would really be awesome!
Colleen, your patience, knowledge and peace of mind which clearly came across in your session helped me to stay in complete comfort. I knew and felt that I could say/ask anything and your answers given to you by your training and Support System would help me for the rest of this life.
You knew nothing about me and my family - yet you were able to deliver all that was needed, as if you knew us our entire life. Truly amazing! By the grace of God I have found a friend and divine Lady to count on. Please do not stop as our Universe wants and needs people like you.
I will contact you again and I send you many blessings. Between you and Sonia my life is changing for the better. To all who read this -ask Colleen and it is given - With Sincere Gratitude,Carla
I have met with Kathy and Judith for a year now. All of my readings are right on target and positive. I look forward to our next meeting as always. - Karla...Galena
Having been a tarot reader, I enjoyed how quickly Kathy was able to pick up on the many layers of my life. It was fun and enjoyable. - Richanda...Milwaukee
I had two great readings, amazingly accurate! I will be looking forward to comparing readings in the future. - Leanhaun ....Dubuque
Never even having looked at a tarot deck before, Kathy eased me through the complexities of the reading with insight and fun, a most imformative session. - Jude...Milwaukee
I did the tarot card readings just for fun, but amazingly, everything they told me came true! Some things the cards showed I knew to be impossible, but within weeks the events happened, just like predicted! - Tracy
Judith gave me an unbelievable reading. She told me things that have changed my life and how I felt about myself. - F. ... Galena
I am always amazed by what comes up in tarot readings with both Kathy and Judith. The work they do has helped me to move away from fear and into peace. Love you both. C.R.
Judith told me everything that was going on in my life. I cannot believe that she was able to do that. - Lesia from Chicago
I was shocked when Judith started telling me what the cards meant. I couldn’t believe she knew everything. We came back twice while we were in Galena to find out more information. Thank You. - D and K from Milwaukee
"I had originally studied Reiki to the Master level through an online/distance education class. This method leaves the student somewhat uninformed and uninvolved in the true artform of Reiki. These classes left me constantly seeking more in my education, which eventually led me to Colleen. We discussed my situation, and I enrolled in classes with her the following month. Each level of Reiki is a step along the path to healing for yourself as well as your Reiki clients, and I learned this approach firsthand from Colleen. This made me realize that it is absolutely necessary to learn Reiki directly from a Master/Teacher, not through a book or an educational course of study. The classes were structured in a way that allows you to firmly grasp the intention and purpose of Reiki, yet allow you to develop your artform as it applies to yourself and your clients. I am blessed to have met Colleen and to have learned the beautiful artform of Reiki from her firsthand. I would highly recommend her as a Reiki teacher, and she has also been an amazing reference, and a wonderful friend." Andy Boswell
The Karuna Class is a very powerful and sacred time of rejoicing in who we are and the power that is within us.A time to reflect and a time to breathe in all the energy that is surrounding us and healing us. I carry those moments with me always and so grateful for the experience.Anyone who can should take advantage of this opportunity...with gratefulness. Jeanne T.
Karuna Reiki is an all empowering and healing class. It helps you to connect with your Spirit guides and Healers, that are needed in Reiki. It also helps you to feel you are doing the best for your client. Judith
In my experience, being trained in Karuna Reiki was a transformative experience. Under Colleen’s knowledgeable guidance, the intensive training of her karuna class opened my intuitive and healing skills to a wonderful new level. I would highly recommend taking this class for anyone who is serious about Reiki as a means to spiritual development, and to become the most effective channel for the healing energy that is Reiki. Kathy Gereau
Colleen was motivating and her Karuna Reiki class attuned me in ways I cannot fully describe. Her class explored the meaning and significance of the symbols as she encouraged us to feel the symbols higher meanings with meditations and plenty of hands on practice. I never felt pressured or rushed, yet feel I garnered the nature of each symbol from this class very well. This class also complimented my Usui Reiki teachings very well. Through Colleen's class exercises, she helped me to develop my intuition and compassion exponentially. I felt more receptive to the enlightened beings physically present to me in the here and now, as well as a stronger connection to the spirit guides - those not physically present. Colleen's compassion and unconditional love were an unexpected gift of the class. KT Gates
We wanted to thank you for such an amazing evening! In all the years that we have been "light workers', we have encountered very few individuals so refined in their "modality". It was such an honor to meet someone who works from a place of light, love, compassion and beauty. Your explanations were thought provoking, your exercises very insightful, and the energy you co-created with our group was most healing. Might you be richly blessed, in the light, above, below and all around your being... with all that you stand in need of at this time as you continue to serve. Blessings Be, Crystal-Mylove & Larry Dunton
Reiki Distance Healing Testimonial
Even when you are open-minded to complimentary health care methods, sometimes
a wellness opportunity comes along that seems a bit strange. Having used
Reiki myself for general wellness and then going on to take Colleen’s Reiki
I and II courses, even I wondered how effective Reiki could be when sent
over a distance.
Iinitially made an appointment to travel to Dubuquefor a session with Colleen, to address an allergic condition but decided to try a distance Reiki session at a prearranged time instead. I literally could feel myself receiving the energy that was being sent to me and it was very clear that the sensations were having a soothing and balancing effect. Heat pulsed in my hands and feet, beautiful colors passed before my closed eyes, and I felt cared for in the most wonderful way. As I could sense the session ending, I felt energized yet very calm. I decided to just lay still for a few more moments only to wake two hours later from the soundest, most restorative sleep that I had in months! I credit this distance Reiki experience with setting me firmly on the path toward healing and would like to encourage anyone who has considered distance Reiki to feel totally comfortable in arranging a session with Colleen. ~ Lauren, Cedar Falls IA
"I became interested
in taking Reiki because I was suffering from migraine headaches and was
seeking an alternative to medication. Taking the Reiki 1 class with Colleen
was a life altering experience. I have since taken all of the levels
of this practice and each one has increased my ability to feel and use
the healing energy of Reiki to help myself and those around me. Colleen
is a wise and patient teacher, truly a spiritual person who cares
deeply for her clients and her students. Thank you Colleen" - Kathy
"As a woman of science I am truly intrigued by Reiki . I was actually introduced to Reiki by a medical doctor friend. At that time I was amazed and after thinking about Reiki for about a year decided that I wanted to pursue a life that included Reiki. I contacted Colleen and found her to be most personable on the phone and even more so when I met her in person. She truly cares about each of her students, their physical and spiritual well being. She truly is an extension of the Light. I have only completed one course with Colleen but I feel so equipped to start practicing my Reiki I abilities after just one class. I have a new calmness in my life that I did not have before. I seem to have finally matured and feel comfortable on my planet...this after 61 years! I am so grateful for my interactions that I have had with Colleen. I intend to continue to study with her and enjoy her great radiance." Mary Sturm, Iowa City, Iowa (Mary has taken Master Teacher and Karuna Reiki tm Training as well)
"Colleen taught me Reiki I a few years ago. I have come to know her as a friend, through our working and playing together. I find her to be very intelligent, intuitive, introspective, and innovative. She believes she is intune with a Spirit greater than herself, and wants to gift us with her talents. I highly recommend her as she is very knowledgeable and believes in what she is doing. She is a very gifted and good woman. I am honored to be her colleague and friend." - Sue Hird Pregler, Spiritual Director
"I have had both Reiki sessions and Akashic readings with Colleen, and I think what impressed me the most is her sincere concern for her client's well-being and her clear intent to be of help. She is both intuitive and a healer, and is natural and comfortable in her approach to the healing process and intuitive reading. She is the genuine article--the real deal. I would definitely recommend her to anyone interested in either a Reiki session, a Reiki class or an intuitive reading. You can trust Colleen to be respectful of your person and your privacy as well, which is very important. I consider myself fortunate to be one of her clients." - Sheri Ginter Eichhorn Owatana, Mn
"The first time I had a Reiki session I was hoping…for lack of a better term…a direction. Mental and physical aches and pains were telling me changes needed to be made, but there was no obvious place to start. During and after that first session the relief from physical pain was surprising. In spite of many doubts and lack of knowledge about Reiki, I was better. The session helped me refocus, release and come at things from another point of view. Since then I have taken several Reiki classes with Colleen. It is such a relief to continue learning about and practicing Reiki. Colleen is a gentile and effective guide. She is a rare find in a teacher and friend." Kim - Bellevue
"I met Colleen Helgerson several years ago. With Divine Guidance, she became the person who would guide my spirit on a journey in healing I never knew existed. She helped me discover yet another aspect of who I am through the healing of Reiki. She has brought me through the levels of Usui Reiki Master/Teacher and that of a Karuna Practitioner. Colleen has become a very good friend, confidante, and mentor—definitely “an angel on earth”/”sister” whose energy and passion about life has been contagious. She is the BEST of the Best." - Mary, Dubuque, IA
"Colleen is my Reiki Master and a very good friend. She introduced both my wife and I to the awesome power of Reiki and guided us through the levels of Usui Reiki and Levels 1 & 2 of Karuna Reiki. She has helped me grow on emotional and spiritual levels. As we began to teach Reiki ourselves, she was there with advice and suggestions which have helped us shape our classes. A bond has been created between us by sharing life’s experiences, exchanging Reiki, attending workshops together and enjoying the light side of life. I am forever grateful for our friendship." David, Dubuque IA
The beauty of Reiki is that each session provides just what I need.Whether I am hurting physically, emotionally, or both, the healing generatesboth specific and general relief. After having a very serious injury to myleg and knee, surgery was imminent. Something inside me told me to look forforms of healing in addition to conventional medicine. Reiki with Colleenhas been the answer. She is an absolutely wonderful spirit and healer.Reiki eased my pain, helped me to actually breathe again after the trauma,and helped me to realize that I am whole. The healing sessions give mepeace. My doctor says I'm healing faster than anyone he's ever seen withthis injury and surgery may not be needed!" ... Pam - Galena
"Boy, do I hate to admit this ...I can't believe it. My back still feels great. Do you realize how much I hate to admit that? The true test was when I sat in the cafeteria and was able to get up, back straight, and walk with very little pain - hardly noticeable. Then even that disappeared. I didn't wake up with back pain, either. And on top of that I was able to bend straight down without the strange little angle I usually have to use in the morning. How odd, I feel like you broke the cycle of muscle spasm/tension a vicious cycle. I find this whole thing incredibly strange and something I still want to deny. But I can't. It feels too good. Thank you" - Jan Ford
The first day we met Colleen both Jack and I knew she was the one who could convey our love for each other, portray our sense of humor and most of all express true emotion in her sermon. The ceremony is the most important part of the day, and both Jack and I felt that Colleen did such an amazing job and really pulled all the guests in and kept their attention the whole time. Very rarely am I at a wedding where guests remember the ceremony and make comments on what was said. Colleens words were so well chosen that we can not count the number of guests that made word-for-word comments. Thank you Colleen, we are so fortunate and happy you gave us the memories you did. Without you it all may have all been a blur. Frana and Jack Beciri, July 7th, 2007
Colleen, I cannot tell you how many compliments we've gotten about our ceremony. It was so beautiful and personal. We could not have been happier about what you did with the information we gave you. Your homily was perfect. It really captured exactly what we were wanting to say to each other. Thank you so much for making our wedding even more special than we could have hoped for. - Meghan and Jeff Mauer
I cannot stress the importance of having someone you feel comfortable with perform your wedding ceremony. Colleen was very much a kind, inviting spirit who made our ceremony as special as I'd hoped. She did such an excellent job at verbalizing what Trent and I wanted for a lifetime of loving with personal and emotional attention. I was so thrilled to have her as our officiant and would recommend her to anyone wishing for an intimate and well delivered ceremony. - Amy and Trent Woodworth
