OUT OF CHRONIC ADDICTIONS, FEAR, ANXIETY INTO A NEW LIFE OF FULFILLMENT, STABILITY AND PEACE.

Doug Marks, CEO

Beginning in 2009

“For the past year and a half, I have been working with Lidia in healing long-term addictions (45 years) to several substances, including cigarettes and alcohol. This journey of healing and self-discovery has been more difficult than I had ever imagined, and I don't think I could have found my way through it without the support and guidance of Lidia. Lidia not only has a deep understanding and knowledge of the process of healing, which has been incredibly helpful, but she also has a high level of compassion and respect for who I am and my experiences. I feel I can tell Lidia anything and she never judges me. I have always felt safe and extremely comfortable in my sessions with Lidia, and in my darkest moments, she has made me laugh and helped me understand that I am, in fact, "right-on-track" as she likes to say. While Lidia always says that I am the one healing myself, Lidia has been a primary instrument in my healing, and I consider her to be my Master Counsellor and Coach. I am very grateful to Lidia for all that she offers and for who she is, and I would highly recommend her to anyone.”

 Continuing in 2013

“It has been two years since I shared my experiences above, and I continue to be amazed at Lidia's incredible insight as a Counsellor and Coach.. Lidia is so very astute. Two years later, I am now Light Years away from where I was. I am continuing to realize the depth of Lidia's awareness of my experiences. Lidia always said I would make it through my "Dark Night of the Soul" and arrive in the Light at the other side. And I have arrived, living with true inner peace, without fear and anxiety, for the first time in my life. Lidia always explained to me that I was in a powerful process of transformation. When I was in the midst of the process, and could only see the dark, it was life and death. But Lidia never left my side and always showed me the way back to the Light. Lidia is a true Blessing to Humanity. Thank You Lidia.

LIDIA PROVIDES EXCELLENT COUNSEL AND ENCOURAGEMENT

Lidia is there as a support and coach to review my health/well-being ideas and goals and provides excellent counsel and encouragement in the pursuit and realisation of them.

LIDIA'S SUPPORT HAS BEEN TRULY "ABOVE AND BEYOND"

Sarah Bourbonniere

Lidia, Thank you so much for sharing your time, wisdom, advice and passion for counselling with me over the past months. Your support and gift of time has been truly "above and beyond", and I am so glad that the Universe decided that we should cross paths.  You have a wonderful gift to help so many people - thank you for making me one of them!

I AM FOREVER GRATEFUL AND FEEL VERY BLESSED

Prior to counseling and reiki with Lidia, I had a recurring dream that left me feeling abandoned, fearful and at a loss as to what to do. I was standing on a pier overlooking very treacherous water to the opposite bank that was not well defined.  I could not get across. Recently I had a very powerful dream where I was standing on that very same pier watching the tide wash out beneath me.  I was filled with joy and energy because I realized that I did not need to be on the pier looking over to the other side.  The tide was low enough that I could walk across on my own.  I could come and go with the changing tide. 


My healing journey could not have happened without counseling and Reiki and I am forever grateful and feel very blessed by Lidia for her healing and wisdom.

THANKS FOR TRULY LISTENING AND BELIEVING IN ME!

Grazia M.

That's what I love about you, Lidia - you're so good at acknowledging how someone feels as opposed to getting them to change what they think about something. I just needed to share these thoughts because I know you understand . . . thanks for listening, as always and believing in me!  I wholeheartedly appreciate that about you.  It's such a gift.

OUR MEETING WAS SUPER PIVOTAL FOR ME

I just want to thank you so much for meeting me. I was so interested in everything you taught me in that brief period and want you to know I haven't stopped thinking about it all! Your story also really gave me a glimpse of how working with energy therapy can work - not just how, but that working in this field truly does work! It's also wonderful to be reminded over and over what can happen when one just accepts alignment with the Universe . . . our meeting was super pivotal for me . . . Wow - I so appreciate meeting you . . . I've been carrying around a lot of ideas you inspired in my head!

I LIVE A HAPPIER, MORE CONNECTED AND CENTERED LIFE

In 2021, Lidia also offered me her Holistic Coaching sessions when I was ready to heal from years of trauma. Through these sessions, I was able to heal which allows me to live a happier more connected and centred life.

Thank you Lidia for the vessel that you are ... through which God's purity flows and vibrates to everyone.

FROM CANCER DIAGNOSIS TO LASTING EMPOWERMENT

Lenir S.

My story is about being declared cancer free by both medical tests and exams results  within a two-month period from the beginning of the implementation of the macrobiotic and reiki protocols.

 

Despite my early days of confusion, after being diagnosed with breast cancer, I knew deep down, I was going to seek an integrative health treatment. In inviting Lidia to treat my post-operatory breast cancer condition, I was inviting a special someone to trail a new health path with me by focusing on my being, as a whole.

 

I still can hear Lidia saying: “Cancer is just an imbalance in the health system.” Oh, I needed to hear that message of hope for the healing possibilities it held! I knew that Lidia was speaking about treating the person (me), not the disease; and that the treatment would focus on the physical, mental and emotional aspects of me as a person who was meant to be healthy and happy.

 

My health plan included macrobiotic and reiki treatments. The macrobiotic diet detoxified, strengthened and supported my whole being simultaneously by stabilizing its foundation and working deeply in the cells. I knew that both macrobiotics and reiki treatments were the right choice when I kept on witnessing the benefits I started experiencing, which were amazingly immediate and great. The positive physical changes included my healthy weight loss and improvement in the areas of sleep, circulation and digestion that contributed for my overall rejuvenated appearance. These changes gave me a psychological and emotional lift that renewed a fighting spirit in me.

 

I believe the achievement of the amazing and miraculous result of being cancer free in such a short amount of time was a result of the integrative health treatment that connected my mind and body. I embraced the treatment plan, which was enhanced by a trusting therapeutic relationship with Lidia. This integrative approach allowed the natural healing force to boost my immune system to regain the vitality it needed: The nutritional way changed the balance of my system back toward normal growth and reiki balanced the life force energy within my being. That is how much macrobiotics and reiki have healed and positively transformed me!

FROM FAMILY HEALTH CRISIS TO HEALING AS A LIFESTYLE

"If you want the best, contact Lidia is how we were referred to Lidia, 5.5 years ago, when our family was faced with a health crisis. Lidia led us through our healing journey in a masterful way with incredible results, utilizing her Method of Reiki, Coaching and Macrobiotic Healing Foods. Healing with Lidia has been transformative for our family. Lidia remains in our life as a friend and consultant. Reiki and Coaching have become a foundation of how we live our healthiest, best life. Lidia has helped our family shift from crisis healing to adopt the paradigm of “healing as a lifestyle”. . . for this we are ever grateful. We have used Reiki, Coaching and Macrobiotic Healing Foods/Remedies, to help us manage the following health and life challenges:

  • Anxiety

  • Concussion

  • Cancer - dissolving tumours, managing impact of chemotherapy on body system

  • Injuries

  • Spiritual growth

  • Grief 

MY HEALING JOURNEY FROM DIS-EASE 

Mike Bradley
Mike Bradley, CEO & Founder of
Woodfield True Nature Campus

I was introduced through a very close friend who highly recommended Lidia for healing. In my journey I’ve been experiencing living with cancer for the past 12 years. I decided at the very start of this chapter to approach my dis-ease as an imbalance and to heal using natural healing methods. Lidia has been a wonderful pillar on this journey.

 

Her care and compassion for me has been outstanding. I know that her life’s mission is to share her talents & skills to help others heal in a deep meaningful manner. Lidia is a master of Reiki energy healing and I have seen wonderful progress towards my total healing with her assistance. She is there as a support and coach to review my health/well-being ideas and goals and provides excellent counsel and encouragement in the pursuit and realisation of them. As well as the energy healing that Lidia capably applies she also has a depth of understanding on the use of Nutrition to assist in someone’s total healing.

 

To sum up, I would enthusiastically give Lidia a big thumbs up to anyone who is committed to raising their energy and life-force and I would without hesitation recommend her as part of a healing team if one is confronted with any type of dis-ease.

REIKI HELPED ME FEEL PHYSICALLY, MENTALLY AND SPIRITUALLY STRONGER

Miriam D.

I met Lidia at a time in my life when I was diagnosed with a terminal illness. I immediately found working with Lidia was the right fit. Reiki had immediate benefits, making me feel physically, mentally and spiritually stronger. Lidia’s pure dedication to helping others heal and move forward has become more evident over the past 8 years I have been working with her.

Lidia is just an amazing, kind, compassionate and caring person who made me feel at ease from the word go. She has a special gift from the universe in her healing abilities. She listens to me, her words are supportive, I can open up easily and her healing is immediate for me. Through her wise words and guidance, I have been able to access another level of myself which I never knew existed. 

Lidia,  I am ever so grateful that the Universe led me to you and it is of great comfort to know that I can turn to you for guidance to continue evolving in my physical healing, emotional and spiritual path. I look forward to working with you as my journey continues.

Thank you Lidia. Your are an angel and a shining star for so many people.

REIKI WITH LIDIA IS A MOST AMAZING EXPERIENCE

Janet Marsh

For the past 25  years, I’ve been living with osteoarthritis and for the past 5 years I’ve been treated for polymyalgia rheumatic (an auto-immune condition).

 I cannot believe that my neck feels “normal” now. I have severe arthritis in my neck and was told that I had a long neck and would have to live with the pain – it always felt sore and stiff. That pain has disappeared completely. I have had 2 hip replacements and one hip has no socket, just a cement spacer in place. Over the past few years, it was most uncomfortable and felt like I was sitting on a rock. I can hardly believe that there is no pain or discomfort in this hip now.

How this has all happened is a mystery to me but I believe Lidia is a master healer.

It was through my son, Ken, who had reiki for 2 years when he was diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer, that I learned of Lidia. He always said that it was very relaxing. So when I got the opportunity to meet Lidia, I was lucky enough to try reiki with her and have been having sessions with her for the past 3 years.

In addition, Lidia introduced me to kukicha tea, daikon radish, miso soup, as well as tofu plasters and eddoe potato plasters.

MOST POWERFUL REIKI EXPERIENCE

A DEEP ENERGY HAS BEEN RESTORED

Stephanie Wood, Creator of ULTRA EFT
innerpeaceandflow.com

Feeling as though a deep energy has been restored in my system and body. I feel lighter in general and yet more grounded. . . It has also been very valuable to me to experience long distance Reiki, since I had never experienced it more than a single random session at a time. It makes me want to learn to do it on myself (and possibly others at some point).

REIKI HAD ME BACK TO NORMAL WITHIN 3 TREATMENTS

Darcy Polito

Lidia is nothing short of a master in the truest sense of the word.  Lidia has a very special healing gift and after seven years since my first appointment, I continue to benefit from regular reiki treatments with her.   Whenever I have experienced health issues of any kind, reiki with Lidia has always put things right again.  She has dedicated her career to the healing arts in order to help others in need and she inspires me with her generosity of spirit and her caring.   As a trained counselor, she also has a wonderful way of helping to shift one's perception of a situation while offering healing treatments.  When I was ready to study reiki, I knew that I wanted to learn from Lidia.  Here's just a few specific examples of the ways I have benefited from reiki with Lidia: 

  • When I broke my foot just 2 months before a round-the-world backpacking trip, Lidia directed reiki which sped the healing and I was in perfect condition for the journey.

  • Another time a virus took hold of me, and after months and months of allopathic and holistic treatments, I finally turned once again to reiki, and Lidia had me back to normal within 3 treatments.

  • While travelling in Indonesia alone, and stuck on a small island with no access to medical treatment, I was struck down by a terrible infection.  I contacted Lidia and right away she sent reiki to bring me back to health.

Lidia also coached me through an intensive macrobiotic program, and I felt so energized that I then enjoyed learning more about healthy and delicious food preparation in Lidia's Macrobiotic cooking classes.   Lidia's frequent offerings of rice balls and Macrosnacks are always a treat, and help to keep me motivated when eating healthy.  Lidia is such a gift to her clients, and lifts us all up with her incredible dedication and strength.  I'm very grateful to also call her a friend.
