Featured Testimonials
Doctor Nancy Arnold
There was a part of your Reiki session with us in which you directed us to step into the healing light and claim the miracle of healing that was ours. It was such a powerful part of the program for me.
I have been going through a series of tests that ultimately resulted in surgery this past Tuesday to determine if I had a serious disease. When you took us through that healing practice, I felt a shift toward hope as an anchor which had been hard for me to hold onto prior to that. It underscored for me why I was called to be in your program and the power you shared with us as reminders of the miracles we can claim. Whichever way the tests turned out, I had a feeling in my deepest being that I was going to be okay, no matter what. And that this was my birthright to claim and own.
I'm sharing this with you as you may not often know the hope, power and grace you offer others, nor the impact it can have on their lives. I received confirmation yesterday that I am healthy and all tests showed no evidence of the disease for which the tests were being done. When facing the unknown, the knowledge that somehow we can settle into the deep belief that all will be well is immense. Thank you for bringing this powerful message and giving us space to receive it and own it.
In the past 100 days I have lost my dad, my livelihood (as breadwinner with benefits) and my mom, and grappled with the knowledge I could be facing a dreaded diagnosis. The Universe definitely has my attention and I am so thankful I am immersed in your program right now as I find my way through to a new future. You don't just offer a path to Reiki attunement. You offer a way to see ourselves and our lives differently through a life-altering experience that is encompassed within the attunement process.
I would love someday to bring this others and am thankful I made the decision to re-attune with you. I also wanted you to know how deeply you may be touching others without ever knowing.
Thank you Bronwyn

Bronwyn is a gifted healer. I had the good fortune to have her help me through an intensive time in my personal healing journey. She not only creates a safe space for release, she has informed her natural gifts with training from an abundance of brilliant practitioners. Her touch and use of sound and vibration healing is truly inspired. I am forever grateful.

I am delighted and grateful for you as a mentor and teacher in Reiki. A powerful teaching and transmission you offered that resonates deeply and informs my practice of Reiki, it being analogous to water spirit and technology...and DNA. Our life force. Reiki feels much more palpable to me in this way.
Blessings dear one!

I was an Elementary School Music Teacher for 24 years and just resigned to pursue a professional reiki career. Over Spring Break, I bought this course as a way to re-energize myself and my practice. I started at the beginning with Reiki I in March, Reiki II in April and on the new moon/solar eclipse June 10, I did the Master attunement ceremony. I really love the Wu Wei and have learned a lot and deepened my practice. As I watch the videos and practice the techniques, I feel activated and excited about the future of the planet. I can't wait to get up in the mornings to study and participate in the magic. Thank you Bronwyn Ayla for your offerings, love, patience and intuitive teaching. You are a blessing to me.

I’m so grateful to say I have completed my Reiki Master level training and will be requesting my certificate today! What a humbling experience this has turned out to be. Wu Wei has surpassed any expectations I had regarding this program. Reiki 2 flipped my energy 180 degrees before leveling out and coming back full circle with Reiki 3. I’ve learned so much these last few months…not just about Reiki but about myself. This has been a life changing experience! I’m looking forward to sharing with others and experiencing Reiki with them in such a powerful, transformative way….for the highest good, the benefit of all, and the harm one none. Namaste.

Bronwyn is an amazing teacher and mover. Her knowledge and pedagogy reflect the integration of years and years of study in diverse mediums. The insights she has shared through the lens of the Axis Syllabus have expansively enriched my dance and movement practice.

Bronwyn has served a key role in my life over the past year, helping me to heal everything from acute physical ailments to realizing and processing karmic patterns. Bronwyn has a way of leading me to the healing that I need without judgment and in a way that creates a space for me to find my own answers.

The first session I had with Bronwyn was incredibly illuminating. She has a gentle yet powerful way of communicating through her presence, words, and healing touch. I left that day feeling everything was about to profoundly shift… Bronwyn opened a divine gateway for me to step into my genuine, unified, and present self. She allowed me to dismantle and rewire many unhelpful thoughts and ways of being. Ever since I've been frolicking forward with a genuine zest for life. Pure love and magic!

I've had the pleasure of working with a handful of true healers in my life and I can wholeheartedly say that Bronwyn rests strongly amongst them. Bronwyn has an open, calm, compassionate demeanor and a peaceful presence that provides space for healing at the deepest levels. She is knowledgeable about a variety of healing modalities and understands how to apply her knowledge in an intuitive, thoughtful manner… I gained multiple "a-ha!" insights that had otherwise been hidden to myself and had huge shifts in releasing long-held tension and pain. Bronwyn's ability to sense, connect and release this tension was unparalleled. She has the hands, heart and mind of a healer.

When I first went to see Bronwyn, I was looking for a way to mitigate the effects of severe stress… The first pleasant surprise I had was that we started with a conversation. Bronwyn expressed genuine interest in finding out more about who I am and what made me want to come in to see her. And then the session that followed was astonishing. I left feeling deeply relaxed for the first time in months… Bronwyn is warm, supportive, intelligent, and light-hearted. She cheers my successes and is compassionate about my struggles. She creates an atmosphere of complete safety and acceptance… I have received extraordinary benefits and Bronwyn is a tremendously gifted practitioner.

Bronwyn was the first alternative healer I saw after a series of traumatic events with Western Medicine. The inspiration and guidance I received from our sessions and her wisdom sharing are what set me on my deeper healing path… My sessions with Bronwyn offered potent healing medicine in themselves — helping me see patterns and deeper emotional issues that were effecting my physical health, improving my vibrancy and connection to my true self. These sessions also offered an invitation to come more deeply into my own body and knowing… I am deeply grateful for the impeccable space she holds that is loving, caring, wise, and a call to self empowerment and embodiment.

I started seeing Bronwyn about 3 years ago. Initially I went to address sciatica problems… The pain was so severe it was difficult to walk a block… Each session I felt a sense of partnership with her that was different from other practitioners I've seen. It's been three years and I have not had one recurrence of the pain. No other services, including doctors, were able to help me with the problems I had been having since a car accident in 2004.

My experience with Bronwyn exceeded my expectations. I looked forward to my sessions with her all week. She creates such a safe, warm, restorative environment, it was magical! She was so in tune with the energy in my body, I could feel the connection and impact immediately. I left every session feeling completely relaxed, free of stresses that were weighing me down. The effects lasted way beyond the sessions.

Very connected, Bronwyn is dedicated and centered, her awareness is clear, she is able to really connect and aid the issue a person is going through with her bodywork. It does not get any better.

Bronwyn taught a lovely, rich 2 hour axis syllabus /contact improv class at the Nevada City Spring Jam. Her body and instructions where equally articulate and inspiring! Looking forward to learning more from the vast pool of body awareness she draws from.
