“The Shima Healer Within is very informative and practical.
I highly recommend it to those who are new to healing as well as those who has done other healing modalities. Akiko is an excellent and inspiring teacher who helps us to go really deep within to unlock our highest potential.”

“It is an incredible introduction to the path of personal growth and self realisation. I love the way Akiko developed it to put the power back into the hands of the individual rather than seeking external ‘help’ from outside sources. The location of the course and the chilled like of Koh Yao Noi in offseason is perfect, too. Thank you Akiko! Deepest love and gratitude for this beautiful offering.”

“Though this is the last day of TIBETAN SINGING BOWL FOUNDATION COURSE, actually I do not want the workshop to end. I am honored and privileged to be surrounded by true authentic master like Akiko and lovely helpful friends for 6 days. This course really expands my horizon and goes beyond my expectation. I did not realize that only one bowl can yield you that many healings and benefits for myself and others. The course is well-thought. It gives us maximum knowledge and skill in optimum pace.
The workshop is a mutual mix between theory and hand-on practice. Akiko is dedicated to teach us not only on the use of bowls but she and the bowl taught us to “live our life”. The bowls taught us that nothing come easy. Practice, patience, and compassion all count.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank Shima Healing School, Akiko and all my classmates for bringing THE BEGINNING OF A MAGICAL JOURNEY with TIBETAN SINGING BOWL to my life. For those who are working and/or walking spiritual path I really recommend you to embrace this course to your journey and it will make it goes a lot smoother with more value and meaning.”

“For whatever reason, I was expecting that this course would be mostly for using the sound of the Bowls during meditation. However, the lessons on how to use the Bowls on and around the body was much more interesting.
It was a beautiful journey. Akiko inspires you to go even further and to continue learning more.
You learn enough in a week to keep practicing for a long time, even with just one Bowl, but surely after this course, you will want to learn more! Additionally, I would recommend that you try to stay a few days after the course on the Island to incorporate Singing Bowls with other healing modalities and to absorb what you have learned. ”

“Taking Akiko’s Singing Bowl Level 1 Course has opened up a deeper understanding about how the Bowls work. She has structured the course in an accessible way: Concise yet informative. The copious amount of hands-on practice allowed one to have a multi‐sensory experience, and I
benefitted from understanding how to be the healer and also receiving healing in the process. Akiko is really patient and her gentle yet affirmative demeanor allows one to feel very welcomed at Shima Healing. I am very
much looking forward to the next level!”

“It was an immersive experience with a lot of practical practices to have your intuition and techniques as singing bowl practitioner.
Much thought and care is given to how the course is conducted so that we can understand the nature of singing bowl therapy and be able to practice it in a safe and responsible manner. Overall, it was a cool retreat set on an island with awesome people and rustic charm. Perfect place to heal, learn and recharge.

“I have been practicing and teaching Reiki for more than a decade. I had never heard of Komyo Reiki until I met Akiko 6 years ago. I found her passion and quest for the history of Reiki refreshing and infectious, and decided to learn Komyo Reiki with her.
After receiving the attunements and teachings from Akiko, I was finally able to unlock some of the mysteries surrounding Reiki. I also gained a deeper and more profound knowledge of the symbols. I realised I had found the purest form and lineage of Reiki and Komyo Reiki is the only system of Reiki that I teach now.”

“Since I learned Reiki with different instructor and different lineage, I found Akiko’s course is deeper in the way of understand the theory and technique, that made us easier to get on with. The structure of the course is like a journey, it is not for you only to learn the subject, but as healing yourself and learning new technique, you could understand and experience lots of thing beyond it as human live on earth. It turns out you would be more grateful to life.”

“A clear, well guided education course done with lots of heart, wisdom and dedication is very much needed in the healing and wellness industry.”

“I took up to Level 3 (Reiki Master) from 2012 to 2013 with Akiko. My base knowledge of Reiki was from Usui Reiki over 10 years ago and Kundalini Reiki since 2011. I understood Akiko’s deep knowledge came from her quest and embodiment of many lineages. Her practical and concise manner of instruction helped me to gain a new perspective of Reiki as a form of energy work and experience the subtle differences in the modalities. Akiko is a teacher who is dedicated to learning and truly lives by the principle of Reiki. I am very grateful for the opportunity to learn Reiki from her. ”

“The balance of this course was just right. Akiko is always here to answer questions, so it is a deeply complete course with a lot of understandings.
”

“The course provides a detailed comparison between different styles of Reiki, it is very informative. Akiko is passionate in delivering the course content.”

“The second time taking the course was like a “booster” that solidified my knowledge and skill set as a singing bowl practitioner. What was invaluable was cultivating the different dimensions of information which I wouldn’t have understood if I haven’t done my 30 hours of practice. I was engaged with the course in a different way the second time taking it. It’s such a great idea to do a refresher after 30 hour/ session practice!”

“Level 1 refresher course indeed added much value to the existing understanding application. The refinement of the skill and subtleties energies the confidence to further the practice. I appreciate the subtle yet amazing discoveries throughout.”
