“I believe the universe led Jeff to me, through a news article that he read in the “Canyon Courier” regarding PeaceWorks the Mountain Peace Shelter (organization and services for domestic violence and sexual assault survivors) and my new role as executive director. Jeff felt a calling to reach out and provide a service that would promote healing and wellness to clients of the Mountain Peace Shelter (MPS) and those of us that work in the field. Jeff spent a significant time explaining Reiki to me and offered me a session. After my first session I was hooked. I felt more relaxed and balanced. My inner beliefs made sense to me. Most of my childhood and adult life I would find myself “praying” at the oddest times to bring love and peace to people I had never met. After that first session I knew there was a universal life force, Reiki, and it had found me.
I shared with clients of MPS that a Reiki Master had offered to provide free Reiki to those that were interested. Several have taken advantage of Sunrise Reiki’s service, not to mention the delicious Reiki Soup that was provided and enjoyed by the MPS group. Reiki did not take away the pain. However, it did calm the mind and open the heart and awaken strength and courage in those survivors that received Reiki.
After my German Shephard and I received several Reiki treatments, including distance Reiki, Jeff invited me to attend his Reiki I & II training. I remember him telling me there is no reason you can’t give yourself Reiki. The training was enriching and engaged my whole being. A little over a year after receiving my first Reiki treatment, I then found myself in Jeff’s master training. With Jeff’s Reiki trainings, you gain new family. After my attunement, a new healing path had been formed. Reiki had become a way of life and I had become a channel to allow the universal energy to pass through, to be received by another.
Although Reiki does no harm, it wasn’t until I completed the Master training that I shared with others outside of my close circle the benefits of Reiki. In my experience, the results are astounding.
A few examples:
“I wish I had it sooner, less pain than I have had in a long time. It’s been over 14 years since I slept through the night, thank you.” (Client with fibromyalgia).
“Whatever it is, keep it coming.” (Distance Reiki comments from a client going through chemotherapy).
“First time my glucose levels have been lowered.” (pregnancy gestational diabetes).
“Reiki helped me let go of resentments that were so deeply embedded they were a heavy part of me. Reiki just makes me feel better, lighter and more energetic.” (Recovering individual).
Recently, my beloved German Shephard suffered from a twisted stomach or Gastric Dilation Volvulus (GDV). She woke me up in the middle of the night. Immediately, I loaded her in the car and drove her down the hill to the E.R. Ten minutes later with a diagnosis, I was informed that it was a miracle she was still alive. Not a miracle, Reiki. After surgery and 16 hours later with a 14″ scar, my 4-legged partner came home without the dreaded cone of shame and the energy of a 4-year old.
I have not had an experience in channeling Reiki to a being or situation that has not had a positive change. I am blessed to be part of a healing community. I thank Jeff and Sunrise Reiki Colorado for opening the door for me. We are all Reiki and Reiki is available to everyone.”

“My interaction with Jeff was just by chance and I had never imagined that a one-off meeting would soon turn into a life-changing experience.
Ever since the day I first met Jeff, he has been so understanding, patient and calm, that I felt as comfortable with him, as I would with a family member. After my Reiki session with him, I could instantly experience the tranquility around my mind that I have been searching for ages. I was so much impressed that I enrolled for the Reiki 1 & 2 class, with him as my master.
After the class, I have been able to provide Reiki to myself and others around me and that has helped me grow mentally, spiritually and emtionally stronger. It has also strengthened my inner self and I am very hopeful that this is just the beginning of something very exciting and fascinating, that will guide me for the rest of my life.
I feel really grateful to Jeff and thank him for all his efforts for me. He has been a great healer, mentor, teacher and most importantly a noble soul and a great human being.”
Thanks & Regards,

“Intrigued and baffled were the words I texted to Jeff, the morning after my first ever Reiki ‘blast.’
I met Jeff April of 2017, when he came into my business establishment selling advertising space. I was busy and asked if he could come back Monday. He left a business card and also a personal business card relating to Reiki. Monday came, advertising was taken care of, so I asked, ‘What’s this Reiki all about?’ and ‘does it mean you can fix my foot?’
For better than 3 years I had an intense sharp pain in the right heel of my foot. The pain was so intense I was limping and favoring it so much that my left calf was noticeably larger. Anyway, Jeff and I discussed it and he said, ‘When do you wind down for the night?’ I told him. He said he was going to send me a ‘blast of Reiki.’ I’m thinking, do I call you, do I come to your office etc… No, Jeff said; just relax at home as usual. Later that day, I told my husband about it and we kind of chuckled, but I was intrigued, so I relaxed and put my feet up and I FELT IT. A warm tingle, like pins and needles and then coolness through my body. It lasted for less than a couple of minutes and that night I slept like a baby.
When I woke up the next morning, I instinctively rose for the first time in 3 years on both feet and with no pain. I was, as one would say, ‘Intrigued and Baffled!!!’ I texted Jeff upon his request that morning. Later that day, we spoke for a few minutes and agreed to continue with Reiki until the pain subsided completely (about 2 months). To this day, nearly 20 months from my first Reiki Blast, I am PAIN FREE.
Being pain free is incredible, but Jeff is the person who made it possible for me to even open my mind to Reiki. His energy is electric and no question goes unanswered regarding Reiki. To this day, I cannot explain how Reiki worked for me, but I can tell you this:
Jeff is an amazing REIKI MASTER
My pain DOES NOT EXIST
YOU DON’T KNOW UNTIL YOU TRY”
Patty Dierksheide, Conifer, Colorado
“I work in a high stress Design Engineering and Consulting firm here in Denver, as an engineer. I have felt for some time that I was losing a sense of myself and my direction in life. I don’t know if that comes naturally with age (mid-50s) or if it was a result of the 50-60 hours a week workload I was doing…..probably both.
I saw Jeff’s articles in the “Colorado Serenity Magazine” several times over a period of 6 months or so. And I have to admit, I never once read his articles. I was however, always struck by the kindness and essence of his face. There is a ‘good energy’ to his essence. So before ever reading an article, I decided to reach out to him for a Reiki session, as I was having a strange heaviness on the left side of my abdomen, that my doctor, through many tests, couldn’t find anything.
My first session with Jeff, was wonderful. He helped me to get out of my head and back into the sacredness of my body. I left feeling grounded, and in a way, just wrapped in a warm blanket. Jeff texted and kept in touch with me…….and he continued to do long distance treatments for me during the coming weeks until I could meet with him again….The second or third time, I felt joy when I left……My life was still a mess, but I didn’t seem to care anymore……knowing, ‘this too shall pass’.
Jeff’s sincere compassion and tenderness has helped me to befriend my body again. Jeff came from the corporate world and knew immediately what I was facing, and he also understood my desire to want to quit, seek a new career path or just take a year-long sabbatical. All of these options were what my head was telling me to do. Instead, after several sessions with Jeff, and having him listen to both my words and what my body was telling me, I was reminded of how I just needed to care for myself again. It’s amazing when someone can mirror back to you, true compassion and kindness, how quickly you begin to realize how unkind or critical you are of yourself. Jeff did that for me and I will forever be grateful.
I no longer have the pain in my abdomen I had when I first saw Jeff. I have actually begun reading his lovely articles in “Colorado Serenity” AND I carry a pocket full of rocks to my high stress meetings (you’ll understand after seeing Jeff). I feel grounded again, like I belong on this planet, and more than anything I can face whatever life calls me to do, knowing that compassion and love are always present.”

“Good morning Jeff. I enjoyed a wonderfully calm morning before going to work. Things are smooth and I feel on top of everything. Shoulders are loose!”
-Theresa Carroll, Greenwich, CT
“I haven’t had a meltdown or cried myself to sleep once this past week. It was happening about every other day, if not every night before Reiki.”
-Kelly Parsell-Williams, Littleton, CO
“Reiki took my back pain away and the Distance sessions are very impactful for sleep. I sleep better, much deeper, and I’m not hurting anymore. I don’t know how to say this, but I feel like it’s changed my body. It’s all so silly to me with the stones and crystals and singing bowls, but it is definitely working for me. I have tried many other things for relief, but nothing has worked like this has.”
-Kendra Bowman, Evergreen, CO
“I met Jeff on a Reiki forum and asked for healing for a medical condition. Jeff sent me distance Reiki on a regular basis and I was overwhelmed by the difference it made. Literally minutes after he started sending healing energy I could feel my pain easing and the burning pain I was experiencing melt away. When he sent it to help me sleep, I would get sleep that night. I am so pleased I connected with Jeff and can’t recommend him highly enough. Peace.”
-Kim Green, United Kingdom
“When I first heard about Reiki I was pretty skeptical. But, knowing the person that Jeff is, I thought what the heck it’s worth a try. I have a lot of neck and shoulder pain due to a car accident when I was younger so I told Jeff about the pain. He sent me some distance Reiki. It still baffles me how this works. But, I had the best night’s sleep I’ve ever had in months! Thank you Jeff and Reiki for making a true believer out of me.”
-Pacia S., Charlotte, NC
“Jeff was extremely professional and talked with each of us regarding what was going on with our energy and areas of distress. He took the time to listen, gave us each some helpful hints to alleviate painful areas and then proceeded to give us treatments that were beneficial and stress relieving. Thank you Jeff, from the very appreciative Senior’s Resource Center!”
-Janice Pusateri of Senior’s Resource Center, Evergreen, Colorado
“Jeff is what made me believe in Reiki, his calm and professional demeanor immediately makes you feel comfortable. His ability to relieve pain is astonishing. When I am in pain or have something emotional going on in my life, my first thought is to call Jeff for his help. I can physically feel it when he sends Reiki long distance to me, which has made me a forever believer. My confidence in him gave me the motivation to attend his class for an attunement and become certified myself. I always feel better all the way around after leaving a session with him.”
-Sarah Bruce, Lakewood, Colorado
“I don’t know how Jeff does it, but that’s not important to me. All I know is that last night I slept all the way through the night – first time in almost 9 months! I had been restless and my mind was working overtime. I felt the Reiki in my heart and slept like a baby. Reiki works! Thank you Jeff!”
-Alan Rydlund, Castle Rock, Colorado
“It’s difficult for me to express or understand how Reiki works, except that it does. My experience with Reiki from Jeff was relief of stress in my neck and shoulders, my hip and even clarity of my thoughts when I felt anxiety and out of control. I asked for help from him when in pain or troubled. Then, I would receive a magical warmth, relief from my pain and a comforting calmness and peace. Amazing.”
-Vicki Harper, Lakewood, Colorado
“I am legally blind due to a degenerative eye disease which causes a person to lose all peripheral vision. The condition is called Retinitis Pigmentosa. I had gotten used to just seeing only what was directly in front of me. After receiving Reiki from Jeff – from a distance, my peripheral vision returned and my eyesight actually improved. My optometrist had never seen anything like this before. I even passed my vision test at the DMV! My night vision has improved dramatically and I can now see a lot more in the dark. Reiki brought me peace of mind. Thank you Jeff and Reiki. I am glad God led you in the direction He did. I am forever grateful!”
-Pam M., Denver, CO
“In the twenty years that I’ve been assisting people on their spiritual paths and with their own personal work, I cannot recall a more enthusiastic student than Jeff Baird. His dedication to his healing practice, clients and spiritual work itself, is unparalleled. Jeff continually strives for spiritual values such as love, unity, freedom and beauty just to name a few. Jeff consciously applies higher values daily, within his personal and professional relationships. It has been my pleasure to work closely with Jeff Baird, and have the opportunity to observe his unfoldment as a powerful energy practitioner.”
-Brooke Heinrich, Master Shaman, Evergreen, Colorado
“I couldn’t get in with Jeff for a session, so he suggested distance Reiki. I said sure, let’s try it. He asked when I would like to receive it, and I said anytime would work for me. One night I was reading my book (totally into it) and all of a sudden I felt a buzzing…tingling sensation of energy run up and down my hands and wrist. It felt…so warm and soothing. I put my book down and just smiled. I let the energy run through me. I was done reading for the night and felt so relaxed. I thought Jeff must have been sending me Reiki. I almost cried. The thought of someone else taking the time and energy to sit and think of me! Wow! A couple of days later I asked Jeff if he had sent me Reiki – when and at what time. He told me yes and the time that he sent it. He had sent Reiki at the exact time that I felt it. He was right on. As a massage therapist I can always use extra energy. I now receive long distance Reiki in between sessions.”
-Tracy Vermillion of C.M.T. Bright Starr Therapeutic Massage @ Braun Chiropractic, Aspen Park, CO
“I recently had a skiing accident, resulting in two broken ribs and a broken ankle. The ribs were extremely painful. Jeff sent me long distance Reiki three nights in a row. I woke up pain-free and able to take deep breaths with no pain! It was amazing. I’m forever grateful and a true believer in the power of Reiki!”
-Sue Galgocy, Lakewood, Colorado
“Reiki is amazing. Thank you Jeff. No pain.”
-Heidi J., Evergreen, Colorado
“Dude! That Reiki is some powerful stuff! It helped my migraine go away and then cleared my sinuses and my ears, and even brought my voice back so I can sing again! I felt complete contentment as the warmth of Reiki worked its wonders. Thank you. Sincerely and wholeheartedly, thank you. I am looking forward to an actual in-person treatment!”
-C.L., Tulsa, Oklahoma
“Jeff had been sending distance Reiki to my 22-year old horse Chex who led a very active life when he was younger. His lameness was in his left hind hock where he has a bone cyst. I have tried many things to try to help Chex mend, but Reiki has helped him the most. It was obvious Jeff and Chex had a bond from the distance treatments when they first met each other in person. Chex gave Jeff a lick as soon as he saw him and then let Jeff give him a full Reiki treatment. He gently moved his body closer to Jeff, as he helped guide him where to place his hands. We are planning on regular treatments to help Chex feel his best because there has been a significant shift since he started receiving Reiki.”
-Mardi R., Conifer, Colorado
“After just one distance Reiki treatment from Jeff I feel so incredibly powerful. It was pretty dramatic. My state of mind as well as the state of my heart cleared up and I feel so much better. Plus, my sinuses cleared up immediately! I think I may want to attend a Reiki class too.”
-Cindy P., Evergreen, Colorado
“I met Jeff during his Open House in September. At that point I was a level 1, and was thoughtfully searching for the Reiki Master that I wanted take a level 2 class with. After visiting with Jeff I knew he was who I wanted to learn from. He is deeply compassionate, embodies the Reiki precepts and is passionate about sharing this amazing gift. I would encourage anyone interested in learning more about Reiki to contact Jeff.”
-Kelly W., Evergreen, Colorado
“In love and light, Reiki pushed the pain away. My past did not change, my future did. For the first time ever, I learned I could keep that love and light with me everyday. I am forever grateful to Jeff and his ability to help me find my own peace.”
-C.
“Jeff, you have had tremendous success with me. Isn’t that amazing to be reaching me from so far away (just a thought away). I was in a bad way before you sent healing powers to my knees…I haven’t experienced any pain since you started and I am up and down these 3 and 4 flights of stairs all day long chasing a 3-year-old with a 3 month old in my arms. I am so grateful. I love the visualization of Saturn rings; this gives me something to continue to imagine and keep the healing light right there – always. Thank you so much! Sending love back to you!”
-Pam Knock, Orlando, FL
“I have been involved in energy work, alternative healing methods and other disciplines for over 30 years, and myself am attuned to Reiki. After just one distance session with Jeff, I was able to sleep through the night and my stress level has dropped greatly. Over the years, I have met many people in the alternative circles and Jeff is as genuine and talented as you can get. His ability to listen, compassion and genuine desire to help is evident as soon as you meet him. I cannot recommend Jeff’s work enough and it is so needed during these times.”
-Susan F., Bailey, Colorado
“If you are thinking of getting Reiki certified or Master certified, I highly recommend Jeff Baird! His classes are not only informative but fun as well. He is able to cover a lot of content in a short period of time. His attunements are also very powerful. I could feel the energy minutes after having them done. I was so inspired after taking his classes. He is the real deal. His knowledge and experience with Reiki is truly a gift!”
-Sheila S., Evergreen, Colorado
“Many thanks Jeff. I feel rested for the first time in ages. And, I can’t believe my back pain is gone after months of aching.”
-H.J., Evergreen, CO
“I was having vision problems and went to an ophthalmologist, who told me I had a percolated hole in my retina. His only recommendation was laser surgery to tack down the edges of the hole to prevent the retina from detaching. He said there was nothing else I could do, so I knew if I was going to avoid surgery, I needed to look outside Western medicine.
I wanted to try Reiki, and a friend recommended Jeff. Prior to my next eye appointment, I received Reiki treatments from a distance, as well as in person. When I saw the ophthalmologist three months after the initial appointment, he said he couldn’t see a hole!That was an exciting moment.
I then decided to work with Jeff on another problem, a gnawing pain in my stomach that occurred 2-3 times a week with varying intensity, and the symptoms were not like anything I read about. I went to my primary MD and a gastroenterologist, and they both recommended an endoscopy. In an effort to avoid that unpleasant intervention, over a three-year period I tried all kinds of diet modifications, supplements, and more without success. Now that pain has gradually subsided to the point where it is almost gone. Jeff gave me a healing attunement, and I’m learning to do Reiki on myself. A few times I’ve felt the stomach thing coming on, did some Reiki, and instead of escalating, it went away. Empowering!
There have been some unexpected side effects from Reiki. I had taken medication for high blood pressure for the past 12 years. I’ve stopped taking medication because my systolic blood pressures have been 102-122! I continue taking my blood pressure every day because I still can’t really believe it. Another side effect from Reiki is help with insomnia. I never had problems with sleep until the last year, when 2-3 times a week I would wake up at 2-3 AM and not be able to get back to sleep. That too gradually went away, and I’m back to sleeping through the night. How great for an intervention to actually have the good kind of side effects. I’ll always be grateful to Jeff for helping me over my hurdles when nothing else worked! I predict Reiki will always be a part of my life.”
-Victoria B., Bailey, Colorado
“Jeff’s Reiki class was a life changing experience that is positive for all surrounded by my love including myself.”
-Lori C., Bailey, Colorado
“The space was very welcoming and I was greeted with a big hug from Jeff as I entered. It immediately felt like home…and as we sat listening to Jeff’s experiences of being healed and healing others with Reiki, I knew I was in the right space. Being taught how to be a healing channel was the most impactful part of the class for me. Living in a more peaceful, happy and more in tune way are now my goals…and of course helping heal the world one person at a time.”
-Ashley Cain, Longmont, CO
“I can’t even begin to tell you how much Reiki has helped me. Recently, some friends came to see me and told me that I looked better than I ever have; and we have known each other a very long time. They were totally blown away by the fact that I wasn’t limping anymore. Yesterday, my chiropractor mentioned that my ‘knot of pain’ was about 90% gone. I then told him about our Distance Reiki treatments. And, of course, Richey my horse, has improved so much in just a week. It’s been an amazing transformation. We are both very grateful for your Reiki healing.”
-Deborah Warehime, Eaton, Colorado
“I had a heart attack and needed follow-up surgery. Reiki was an invaluable tool to help in the healing process. Jeff did remote sessions the night of the heart attack and follow-up sessions over the following weeks. I was amazed at how quickly I regained my strength and energy. Jeff also used Reiki to help my wife and me release the stress and drama of the event – which is also a critical component of the healing process.”
