“I recently completed Reiki Level 1 and Level 2 at The Cotton Rooms with Samantha, and I can honestly say it was the best decision l've ever made. Samantha is a true Reiki Master-an expert, a guru, and simply the best. From the moment you walk into The Cotton Rooms, you're welcomed with warmth, kindness, and the most beautiful energy.
Samantha has created a heavenly space like nothing l've ever experienced before. Her teaching style is captivating, and her deep knowledge and love for Reiki shine through in every lesson. Whether you're completely new to Reiki (like I was) or already experienced, she provides everything you need to confidently use this incredible modality for life.
You don't just learn Reiki at The Cotton Rooms— you experience it in the most profound way. I left each session feeling uplifted, inspired, and wrapped in a bubble of warm, loving light. If you're considering learning Reiki, do yourself a favor and book in with Samantha. You won't regret it!”

“The Best Reiki Teacher on the GC.
I completed both Reiki Level 1 and 2 with Sammy from The Cotton Rooms and it's the best decision I have ever made.
Reiki has improved my life in so many ways emotionally, spiritually and physically and it continues to get better and better.
Sammy is the most beautiful devine earth angel and an incredible teacher! She is so welcoming, loving, reassuring, compassionate, attentive and just generally amazing to be in her energy making her entire Reiki training experiences so comfortable, enjoyable and empowering!
The sacred space Sammy has created at The Cotton Rooms allows you to feel so safe from the instant this goddess meets you at the door and you step in!
I feel so privileged to have been taught by the best Reiki teacher on the GC. I also cherish the deep connections that have been formed with all the beautiful ladies in my training groups.
I'm overflowing with gratitude for Sammy and can never thank her enough for lovingly guiding me through my Reiki 1 and 2 trainings and personal healing journey.”

“I have done both reiki level one & two with Sam and each time has been moving, so special & an amazing experience in all the ways.
Sam's eye for detail, means she has thought of every aesthetic & every comfort you could need to feel safe & supported in the most stunning environment to go on the journey of reiki attunement.
Meeting all the different people who you have so much in common with just from showing up to the training is also a bonus.
I still chat and stay in touch with a lot of the people I have met in both reiki 1 & 2.
The experience itself is life altering, and the way Sam holds you going through it all feels so safe. The aftercare from Sam is also next level . She's is ALWAYS there to guide you or even just chat after you've been through all bring up for you, answering any questions that arise for you weeks after the classes. The experience at the cotton rooms has been the best decisions I've made. I plan to do my reiki masters with Sam in the future & I know it's going to be just as incredible as reiki 1 & 2!”

Woweeee!
I am filled with gratitude and a strong sense of belonging to be a part of this Reiki family!! Sammy greeted us with the warmest and most lovely embraces from the moment we met. It's a pleasure to be in the company of such a smart and beautiful soul as herself. I felt so safe expressing my most personal life experiences in this sacred space.
Sammy's presence radiates this dazzling goddess aura that illuminates the entire room. It's difficult for me to put into words how amazing this entire experience has been for me, but it has been so nourishing for my soul, and I feel so full of Love, sparkles, light, and gratitude to have been a part of the lesson, and I can't wait to see the Reiki Fam and Sammy again for Reiki 2!

“Last weekend, I completed my Reiki 1 attunements and training with Samantha at The Cotton Rooms. I felt a strong need to do this course to further my connection with the universe, deepen my intuition and ultimately bring calmness and love from the universe to myself and others.
Nervous going into the weekend, I instantly felt comfortable and connected with Sam and the three beautiful ladies joining me in the
course.
The entire weekend nourished my mind and soul, and it has opened me up to a new way of feeling and living.
I feel so privileged to have had this opportunity. It's sparked something inside that I never want to leave! I am SO excited to continue my journey in reiki.”

“The Cotton Rooms is a magical place full of warmth, incredible energy and Samantha is an absolute angel. I completed my Reiki Level 1 with her and it was the most amazing experience. Such a loving space surrounded by a group of beautiful women. I look forward to doing Level 2 Reiki with Samantha and could not recommend her as a teacher and Reiki healer. From the moment I entered The Cotton Rooms I felt so much peace and relaxation. So glad I chose to learn Reiki with Samantha. Thank you xx”

“Thank you Sammy for your guidance and mentorship in my Reiki level one and two training! I thoroughly enjoyed both levels and felt that it was such a beautiful and intimate way to connect with myself and universal powers. TCR is the most luxurious and dreamy space to both receive treatments in and learn Reiki. For anyone curious about this modality, I would highly recommend learning level one, if not more, because I have found it so beneficial and versatile in my personal and professional life. Even though I am not specifically a Reiki practitioner, I utilise Reiki throughout my other modalities, and have used it personally on many occasions for my home and loved ones.
Thank you
Sammy! Xx”

“I was called to learn Reiki and completed
Reiki Level 1 run by gorgeous Samantha from the Cotton Rooms. Being completely new to the knowledge of Reiki I was amazed how quickly the 2 days went. From the first moment I felt I was in the right place. I felt the deep healing and acquired the skills and knowledge to be able to apply it to myself and others. I would highly recommend Samantha to those called to experience and learn Reiki and I'm looking forward to learning more!”

I loved everything about it! Every single detail was just perfect.”
