     “I think you do a great job teaching and guiding your students.  I am very impressed with your gift.  I can't imagine how you could improve on what you do so well.” 

        -Rebekah, Indianapolis, IN

 

    "I have completed Basic Animal Communication 1, Reiki II and Reiki III with Karin Gose.  I began my Reiki studies in Vancouver B.C. in 1983. My life led me in a parallel direction for 22 years before finding Karin and continuing on my Reiki Path.  Karin presented herself and her teachings with a deep commitment, knowledge and a open loving heart.  Karin is a powerful Healer and one who has escorted me back on the path of light and trust.  Karin has the exceptional ability to set one at ease, enabling me to study and grow in a powerful loving environment surrounded by like minds.  I feel very blessed to have had studied with Karin and look forward to many more classes."
        -Jeannie, Indianapolis, IN

 

     "Karin’s Basic Animal Communication 1 course was an absolutely amazing experience. I was both nervous and excited when I arrived at the workshop, and wasn’t sure what to expect. My anxieties were soon put as ease when I was greeted by Penny, Karin’s cute little Sheltie, and Karin herself, both of whom made everyone feel welcome. My fellow workshop participants were wonderful as well, and it was clear that we were all equally excited about learning how to communicate with our animal friends.

     What I liked about the first day of the workshop was that Karin explained animal communication in great detail so that we would have a good understanding of what it is and how it works. Karin also used a variety of exercises that helped us become centered and focused, which would better prepare us for communicating with the animals. Karin took the time to answer all of our questions, and really did a great job of helping us fully understand the communication process. The basic communication exercises we practiced that day were great for showing us that animal communication is something we are all capable of doing.

     The second day of the workshop was just wonderful. The exercises became more advanced, and we really started to put our communication skills to work. Karin used a variety of exercises that developed our skills, and more importantly, boosted our confidence. By validating our responses and providing lots of encouragement, Karin helped all of us realize our potential to communicate with animals. For me, this was the most rewarding aspect of the workshop. The encouragement and validation helped me to become more confident in my communication skills, and I left the workshop feeling that this was a skill I was going to be able to continue to develop. I now feel confident enough to practice on my own, but am also looking forward to the next workshop!"

    "Karin is an excellent teacher.  I have started the Reiki classes with her and I have taken the Basic Animal Communication 1 Workshop.  Karin is very helpful, patient, insightful and professional to work with whether dealing with people or animals.”

        -Shani, Indianapolis, IN

 

    “I rarely pick up a Branches Magazine.  I felt lead to do it that day.  I was browsing through and found Karin’s ad for Intuitive Energetics.  I was drawn to her like a magnet.  I had interest in learning Reiki and was involved in Animal Communication.  Little did I know that my life would never be the same.  Karin has training in many modalities and has a keen intuition.  She has a kind, gentle manner and uses her life experiences to help you grow.  I’ve attended Karin’s Reiki I, Reiki II and Reiki III classes. She’s been there for me through my transitions, helping me to gain confidence in my abilities and spiritual growth.  She can help you clear the clutter that’s holding you back.  Through Karin’s teachings and spiritual guidance I am now able to help animals and their people.  Thank you, Karin, for your continued support.”
