TESTIMONIALS: What People Are Saying

Energy Healing

Something I love about having sessions with Patricia (Starchaser) is that she pulls in whatever type of healing is needed  (of course, she always asks if it's OK). She sometimes surprises me with an aromatherapy inhaler, which she say's "helps me maintain that clearer state."
— Beth W, Rockville, MD

Patricia (Starchaser) is a great Reiki Master. She has used many kinds of Reiki on me and each time I have felt wonderfully balanced and much clearer. As a Reiki Master myself, I have recommended my clients to her for classes. That is how much I trust her!
— JC, Washington, DC

I have been to Patricia (Starchaser) for Reiki sessions for several years. I have benefitted enormously from the energy treatments she has given me. Patricia is an exceptionally good Reiki Master. She makes me feel relaxed and takes time to understand any physical and emotional issues and address them. Since I have been to Patricia, I have had no health problems at all and have become much more balanced and centered.

I really loved my two reiki sessions with Patricia.  I had gone in to see her for a pain in my hip that was causing me to limp.  We discovered that I was spending too much energy giving to others and not enough focused on me.  She said I needed to do more yin activities.  I felt like the Reiki really put me on the right path to healing and gave me the courage to change my work schedule to work for me. I took Patricia's advice and started doing yoga and soaking in hot epsom salt baths and within a couple days not just my hip pain was gone but also my sugar cravings as well. She has a wealth of knowledge and I would highly recommend her to anyone.

I've had many Reiki sessions with Starchaser (Patricia). Her healing hands are amazing. You can feel heat of her hands and the energy moving through your body. I find Reiki very relaxing and cleansing. 
— IGWSBethesda, MD

I have a very stressful job and, as a result, I often have trouble falling asleep. I had an evening Reiki session with Patricia - just one - and afterwards, I fell asleep easily and rested deeply. I was just so utterly relaxed.
— CCP Washington, DC

We're really into the Heartwave. We receive great insightful information and we both benefit so much from the reflection that we do afterward.  
— Sue and Bruce T, Washington, DC

I was curious about the IET Soulstar Clearing, but didn't really think it would be much different from other energy work I've had. Was I ever surprised. Patricia channeled a whole stream of intuitive information. She didn't realize it at first, but she told my whole life story in that one continuous stream. Amazing!  
— John, Bethesda, MD

Integrated Healing

Patricia (Starchaser) is not only a spiritual person and Reiki Master, but also a scientist and an artist who deeply understands and appreciates the complexity of being human. She creates fragrance masterpieces custom-designed for the individual, as well as supplying more traditional aromatherapy products with well-known fragrances. We have had the luxurious pleasure of experiencing and using a number of her products, including custom-blended aromatherapy sprays, hand creams, foot scrubs, and bath oils. We recommend Patricia and Starchaser's wonderful products whole-heartedly!
— SPB and KCB, Gaithersburg, MD

Starchaser (Patricia) has done shamanic journey work with me before and each time I've received a lot of really helpful information about the specific question that we journeyed about. But, when she added Starchaser "Journey Work Diffuser Oils" to the session this last time, I felt a significant intensification of the experience. I plan to request diffuser oils for my Reiki sessions too.
— CB, Washington, D

I loved everything about my class. Awesome! Plenty of hands-on practice and the small class size was super beneficial. 
— KB, Columbia, MD (Intermediate Integrated Energy Therapy II)

I just loved my teacher. She was incredibly knowledgeable about Reiki and energy work in general. She was really flexible and open to other ideas. I wish I had just taken her Level I and II Usui Reiki class in the first place (Usui Review I and II). 
— Jodie, Arlington, VA (Usui Reiki I and II Review)

Patricia created a safe and supportive environment for learning, sharing and healing.
— Elizabeth, Washington, DC (Western Reiki I)

Patricia is a very knowledgable instructor and a powerful healer. She is clear, thorough and patient. I liked that she encouraged sharing and was open to the student's perspectives and views. I felt safe and respected.  
— Laura, Silver Spring, MD (Basic, Intermediate and Advanced Integrated Energy Therapy II)

What I particularly liked about Patricia's class was she pulled me out of my comfort zone in a friendly and supportive way - put me at ease with something that really challenged me and my beliefs. It helped that she took the time to explain everything clearly and thoroughly and answered a lot of questions. 
— Jill, Washington, DC (Western Reiki I)

I took a two-day Reiki course with Patricia (Starchaser). I am interested in energy healing and wanted to know how to use Reiki for myself as well as to work on others. Patricia was a fantastic teacher who clearly has a natural affinity with the practice of Reiki and is very experienced. She provided the group with both the basic theory and a lot of hands-on practice. We were able to ask lots of questions as well as receive and give Reiki. Since the course, I have successfully practiced Reiki on myself and on others. I am inspired to take a further course with Patricia.
— Caroline, Washington, DC (Western Reiki I)

I loved my Reiki I and Reiki II classes with Patricia. Something she does that other teachers don't is she taught us about energy clearing and setting a protected space using energy, herbs and essential oils. Not technically Reiki, it's still so important to me to know that I have tools to protect myself and my clients. 
— Liz, Rockville, MD (Western Usui Reiki Level I)

Loved Patricia's sense of humor and playfulness.
— AL, Gaithersburg, MD (Basic, Intermediate and Advance Integrated Energy Therapy)

I took a wonderful Reiki class with Patricia. We had lots of time to practice, ask questions and share. Patricia is a very experienced Reiki Master and teacher, she's knowledgeable and supportive. Her manual is extremely informative and complete. I refer to it all the time now. I plan to take the next level with her too.
— Emma, Bethesda, MD (Western Usui Reiki Level I)

I took Western Usui Reiki Level I with Patricia. I've never done anything like this and I have to say that learning Reiki took me out of my comfort zone. Patricia spent a lot of time explaining things and preparing us for the big step to practice. She is very knowledgeable and patient, flexible and really supportive. She gave us so much individual attention and a really detailed manual for when we're on our own. I'm thrilled that I took plunge and learned Reiki. I will definitely be joining the her Reiki Shares. 
— Carole, Washington, DC (Western Usui Reiki Level I)

I took the Reiki Review class with Patricia. It was dynamic, flexible and really informative. I learned a lot of new things and I feel more confident about my practice now.
— James, Annapolis, MD (Western Reiki I and II Review)

I attended Starchaser's (Patricia's) workshop on getting a good nights sleep, and it was full of great information and ideas. I never thought of sleep as really deep relaxation before. We did a wonderful relaxation exercise that was combined with a beautiful aromatherapy diffuser. I went right to sleep that night and slept really well. 
— MJK, Washington, DC (Workshop on Getting A Good Night's Sleep and Aroma Relaxation)

I attended a day of meditation and personal pathfinding at my church and Starchaser had a wonderful session on essential oils for meditation and spiritual growth. We learned about the energetic and spiritual aspects of aromatherapy and essential oils. The history was fascinating. We then got to sample different diffuser and inhaler blends. My favorite was "Dispel Fear and Walk Courageously."
— Barbara, Washington, DC (Workshop on Aromatics for Personal and Spiritual Reflection)

Starchaser's (Patricia's) introductory presentation to aromatherapy was very informative and fun. She illustrated how smell works and what parts of the brain are involved in smelling. She explained how essential oils are extracted too. She presents it so clearly and enthusiastically. What I loved, though, was the part where we got to smell different essential oils and compare how they effect us differently - where they went in the body and what memories and feelings they invoked.  
— JSW, Rockville, MD (Workshop on Aromatherapy: It's Not Just Smell)

I thoroughly enjoyed my class - the content, format, teaching style and loads of hands-on experience. There was plenty of time to ask questions and discuss. We were able to talk about additional interests like animal totems, intuitive information and such. 
— KS, Arlington, VA (Western Usui Reiki Level I)

I attended Starchaser's demonstration and introduction to Reiki salon at Pathways. It was incredible how much she knew about the client without ever asking or knowing her. I learned so much and was given very useful flyers. 
— SW, Silver Spring, MD (Introduction to Reiki and Demonstration)

My class covered a wide spectrum with a detailed presentation and extensive hands-on practice.  
— DZ, Arlington, VA (Western Usui Reiki Level I)

I went to a demonstration Patricia did on "Aromatherapy: It's Not Just Smell."  Very educational and new for me. I never knew anything about the science behind aromatherapy or that essential oils are energetic. I now have a better idea about how essential oils work. I loved the sensing part of the presentation. I recommend Patricia to anyone or any club looking for an interesting and fun topic to learn about. 
— KJM, Bethesda, MD (Workshop on Aromatherapy: It's Not Just Smell)

I took Usui Reiki Level I and II with Patricia. I'll definitely take Level III with her when I'm ready. Patricia takes lots of time to explain things clearly, she's very kind, encouraging and flexible.
— JS, Gaithersburg, MD

Patricia took the time to thoroughly discuss and answer questions. We had lots of time to practice distance healing. The Starchaser manual is very through. It was a great class. I learned a lot. Thank you!
— KS, Arlington, VA (Western Usui Reiki Level II)

The small class size made it possible to get plenty of hands-on experience, personal attention and every question answered. Patricia is easy going and provides an excellent learning and growing environment.
— LC, Washington, DC (Western Usui Reiki Level II)

I really liked that there was so much time to practice and share. I appreciate the very detailed and easy to understand manual with references. 
— Beth, Alexandria, VA

I took Starchaser's Jet Lag inhaler with me to Fiji (crossed the international date line to get there). I sniffed it repeatedly on the plane over as advised. The first day I was a sleepy at dinnertime, but thereafter I was fine. It really worked. Thanks Starchaser!
— Emma, Washington, DC

Starchaser designed a non-talc-based, all-natural foot powder for me. My clients love the scent, the texture is lovely to work with and it has antibacterial and anti fungal essential oils. It’s just perfect!
— JS, Columbia, MD

I'm a social worker and many of my clients have serious issues and a lot of negative energy around them. I wanted to use something to clear the consultation space, but I found sage sticks were too smoky, obvious and irritating. I contacted Starchaser to design something for me, but found that they already had great products for that - diffuser oils and, even better, a liquid smudge. What a fantastic idea. I the Clean Energy Energetic spritz at work and the diffuser oil at home. 
— MAC, Arlington, VA

I'm blown away at how finely crafted and beautifully scented Starchaser's Balanced facial scrubs are. I've noticed a difference in the texture of my skin. It's smoother, clearer and has a healthier (rosier) color. I've tried the Soft and Fresh Scrub too. That gives me a bright outlook at the start of my day. Thanks Starchaser!
— Valerie, Boulder, CO

I’m an energy worker and I’ve been using Starchaser’s Energy Work Support diffuser oil, which I really like. It clears the room, creates a protective space and raises the vibration. I truly sense a difference when I use it. But, I wanted something just for me. Patricia took the time to learn all about how I conduct a session, what I really want to offer my clients and what I personally feel about how I do my work. I just love my special blend and I am so grateful for the time and care that Patricia so kindly gave to me. 
— Marie, Kensington, MD

I'm a professional musician. I had a particularly long and difficult concert to preform so during the intermission I used my Focus and Concentration personal inhaler and felt fully revived. 
— BJN, Washington, DC

I play competitive sports and recently found that I was getting distracted and unable to concentrate. It was seriously effecting my game. Starchaser designed an inhaler for me to help me focus and concentrate. It is fabulous! I've used it twice while competing. I won the first match, and I played well, but lost, the second match more due to bad luck than anything else. After using the blend, I was less affected by noise and other distractions and felt less worked up, stressed and overheated. 

— DN, Gaithersburg, MD

I love that Clean Energy is natural and made from the same plants as my stick smudge. This liquid smudge is so light that I can use it with sensitive clients.   
— PEB, Cambridge, MA
