Testimonials – Elion Hartwood

Testimonials from people who have worked with us:

Thank-you for your amazing group session. My family and myself attended a group reiki session with Eli. Who truly is an inspiration and whole heartedly loves his craft. To encourage support and guide others is truly his life's aim. His teaching style is unique. Being able to engage adults and young adults at the same time is not an easy thing to do and Eli did it with ease always willing to stop to answer questions (there were many questions) and keep everyone engaged for over an hour was amazing. A Very insightful, for filling and relaxing experience and we can't wait to come to another session. Eli is an amazing teacher and guide. And always willing to explain as much as he can it was a true pleasure to be in the presence of such an extraordinary man. Thank-you xx

I am so proud of Elion (aka The Modern Alchemist) he has come such a long way in both his professional and personal journey. I have had the privilege and joy to work with him on his Reiki Journey and discovery of his authentic self. There is something very honest, unique, and tender about how Elion works. He understands you from where you are, not where he is and this is because to some degree he has either been where you are or his empathic understanding of you, allows him to listen without judgement, and be present with only the truest sense of love and sincerity.

Eli is a beautiful soul who has done a few readings for me. To be honest, I wasn’t totally convinced that anything useful would come from tarot, before the first reading with Eli. However, literally everything he said is completely spot on… Sometimes the messages are exactly what we need to hear, (even if we don’t like it) … Sometimes the readings touch on things that only I myself know, so they are very surprising! However the cards have been dealt, I have always learned a lot from the readings, and I have used this knowledge to release a lot of negative energy in my life. Eli also did a round of tapping therapy with me, which was very emotional, but also very empowering too… Honest, kind, knowledgeable, and completely trustworthy… Eli has an amazing spiritual energy that brushes off on everyone he meets, and I would not hesitate to recommend his services to anyone!

Dear Eli, just wanted to let you know you have got a scientist very puzzled. Not sure if I told you I'm disabled, but I watched your video from 24 April. Of course I'm a skeptic, but I'm an open minded skeptic, which is kinda why I was watching. Since watching it, I've not required any of my normal painkillers! I'm not even going to try and explain as I wouldn't know where to start, but a big thank you!!

I always feel wonderful after treatment. You really relax me and your reiki room is lovely. Such a wonderful calm place to be in. I always sleep well after treatment and feel better in the morning for it.

Having never experienced Reiki before I was sceptical about the whole thing. Eli was very friendly and made me feel completely at ease. I expected nothing to happen but I was amazed! My very first session was incredible. I ended that session feeling less tension and refreshed. I even had a short nap! It worked beyond what I believed it would. So much so that I started learning Reiki after my first session with Eli. Thank you!

Having never been a spiritual person, I wasn't sure what to expect in my Reiki session, but Elion gave me such a wonderful and relaxing space to process past experiences in a way I'd never given myself the chance to. I came out of the room with a much better understanding of my own emotions, thanks to his fantastic guidance!

Eli performed reiki on me last week when I felt I needed some spiritual healing after losing a dear friend of mine to cancer. Eli made me feel totally at ease and very comfortable, he is a lovely person who is easy to talk too. I came away from the session feeling very relaxed and had the best nights sleep I've had in a few weeks. I would highly recommend The Modern Alchemist to anyone needing a bit of reiki xx

The attunement I received from Elion Hartwood was wonderful. I gained a deep sense of inner peace and felt a divine presence. My body was engulfed with peaceful vibrations and felt a slight buzzing throughout my head. My hands gained a new warmth I have never witnessed and felt instant joy. I would highly recommend this to any brother or sister that is ready to practice Reiki healing.

It’s so strange how the world works, how the heavens look out for you and provide what you NEED. One extended random conversation displaying what complete dorks we are led to one of those moments. On May 2nd I lost my best friend and soul mate, and I had to push it down to prevent people from thinking that I lost it. I buried it so deep, and put on a smile, because that’s what people want to see, but I’ve never felt so alone or lost before. It wasn’t that I didn’t feel supported, I have lots of friends, and a wonderful family, but I refused to allow my grief to pull them in, so I covered it up to spare them from my pain. I functioned each day, and numbed myself to the point that I couldn’t grieve anymore. One random day, Eli messaged me, and was on the receiving end of complete Word Vomit. We talked for a bit about my loss, and he offered some guidance, a shoulder, and a reading. There are things that only I would know or understand, and as the reading went on, it became very evident that my friend is still with me, watching out for me, and helping me on my quest to find happiness. I cried like a baby! The first time since 2 weeks after his passing. I let it out, and unblocked myself. I can feel him now, and I’m healing. I honestly think that Elion was the catalyst for that change, and extremely thankful that he is part of my life.

Having just recently had my first reiki experience with Elion Hartwood I would like to highly recommend him. The session was well prepared in a lovely calming room. Elion was easy to talk to and gave good examples to illustrate his points which helped further my understanding on various topics. The angel card reading was honest, accurate and reassuring. The reiki session was amazing! I loved the use of essential oils and felt very relaxed, afterwards I felt happy and giggly. Eli is wonderful warm person & I feel blessed he has generously shared his time, knowledge and healing with me.
