  • Thank you for the incredible day yesterday. The information resonated with me in a lovely, positive way. I left calm, content, and with my head swirling with poignant feelings of pure love and joy. Slept peacefully and woke up calm, grateful, and at peace. I'm looking forward to this new journey and thank you for the spiritual guidance.

    Margareta J., Santa Barbara, CA

  • I've taken both Reiki Level One and Two with Darren Marc of Awaken with Darren. The setting is peaceful. Darren is a knowledgeable teacher with a commitment to the tradition of the Usui Ryoho lineage. This is the second time that I have been attuned (I have been attuned to all three levels of Reiki previously in Canada) and I found Darren's teaching approach superb. He takes care in answering questions, giving examples, and offers a practical time to practice during class time. Darren also creates an environment that is safe and supportive. The lunches that were included were a bonus. I highly recommend Darren!

    Vlatka H., Santa Barbara, CA

  • Darren, I could not be more grateful for meeting you and learning from you. You are an absolutely amazing teacher, friend, and presence. You truly make learning and connecting to reiki and the whole universe special. I'm so happy and grateful to have crossed paths with you. Reiki has been and continues to be a tremendous gift in my life. Thank you for following your heart, embodying what you love, and sharing it with other people.

    Kristen S., Santa Barbara, CA

  • I had received reiki from someone in town and then felt it was in my calling to get reiki certified. Darren was the first one who was readily available. It was meant to be for sure. He is so calm, at peace and just what I needed. When he attuned me so I could receive the gift of letting reiki energy flow through me, I wasn’t sure hat to expect but after he had given me this gift, I literally felt the energy and light flow through the crown of my head and through my body filling me up and back out again. It was crazy. I started crying right away when he was done and went outside to lay down underneath the trees and grabbed some stones to ground me. I felt like I was in a fiery forrest and magical in a way. I feel so blessed to have been given this gift of giving and receiving energy from Darren and life itself. He made the whole training and attunment experience so lovely and comfortable. What a wonderful journey. I’m so grateful!

    Michelle L., Santa Barbara, CA

  • I have known and received reiki from Darren for a while now and every time I receive I feel an amazing sense of peace and tranquility. I always look forward to seeing Darren. Darren is a beautiful soul and I’m happy to have him in my life. I will always recommend him to my friends and family. Darren I hope to be friends for a long time. You have inspired me more than you will ever know. Thank you! 😊 🙏🏽 I’m forever grateful for you and your reiki practice.

    Patty H., Santa Barbara, CA

  • Reiki with Darren was the most needed and incredible experience of my year. It was not only in the session itself that I felt relaxed and peaceful but I was also able to carry that peace with me. There was an immediate shift in my energy, as if the huge dam that was blocking the flow of energy was suddenly lifted. A realignment of energy if you will! Whatever brought you to his website, I highly recommend you give Darren a try and see how things start changing for the better!

    Millie T., New York, NY

  • Since I moved to NYC from upstate New York, I've been having a lot of issues accessing and maintaining the peace, love and joy within myself that nature so easily granted me at home. As soon as I walked into Darren's space, I immediately felt a sense of calm and healing. His energy was very warm and welcoming, making him a very easy person to open up to, verbally and energetically. Darren kindly discussed my issues in depth with me and gave me the tools I need to live more mindfully in a chaotic city. I've always left my sessions feeling grounded, comfortable and true in my body, and mindful. I highly recommend his services.

    Melissa M., Brooklyn, NY

  • I've already sang Darren's praises to my friends and co-workers. It has been several days since my reiki session and I still feel the affects of his healing. I left feeling lighter and happier than I have in months! His sensitivity to energy is remarkable and I could feel the high vibrations he channeled into my chakras. He is very connected to the spirit. Will definitely return.

    Daniel M., New York, NY

  • Darren helped me through a really tough time and I’m so thankful for that. I felt like I walked out of every session with a better idea of where I was going with my life, and with a more secure plan on how to get there. He taught me how to live a healthy life by utilizing meditation and other healthy habits. Now, I have daily rituals that help me start my day off right and maintain a great mindset throughout the day. I am more driven and motivated to work towards my goals.

    Emily P., New York, NY

  • As someone who is new to Reiki, Darren immediately put me at ease. He was incredibly attentive in our initial consultation, and worked with me to determine my areas of concern/focus prior to beginning energy work. He is deeply intuitive, and fully present throughout the work. His space was clean and soothing, and I left feeling open and released. Darren is absolutely lovely, and genuinely cares about his clients. He was fully accessible to me after our session, and took the time to address several questions I had regarding things that came up for me after we finished our work. I would highly recommend working with him!

    Carolyn C., New York, NY

  • This was my very first Reiki session. I've always been into holistic healing and spirituality and Darren was the IDEAL reiki master to introduce me to the power of reiki! He was insightful, intuitive and very welcoming from beginning to end. Darren went as far as following up post-session to see how I was feeling. I've felt clearer afterward and will definitely be returning for a second session with Darren.

    Mariamelle T., New York, NY

  • I was new to Reiki when I first met Darren and I had a wonderful experience. Darren was very kind and welcoming. His home is peaceful and I felt completely at ease. The session was very relaxing and I had great results. I had back issues coming in and the pain was significantly reduced after the session. I am eager to go back!

    Cecilia O., New York, NY

  • I'm feeling so much better!!! And to top it off, after I left the session, I got an audition for this Tuesday for the lead in a play and my first audiobook came out on Audible. I don't think that's a coincidence. My pain seems better, too.

    Stephanie G., New York, NY

  • I went without expectations and I left feeling extremely calm. I made the appointment because I've felt ongoing anxiety for some time now. Basically felt 'off' for a while. I truthfully did not think it would help, but it did! I feel more 'on' now and I thank you Darren! It's been a week and I still feel the same calm I felt when I left. I'll definitely be back.

    Min M., New York, NY

  • My experience with Darren was amazing! He was personable and professional, but most of all, he was empathetic and understanding of my specific needs and made every effort to cater and accommodate to them. What a wonderful person; I would definitely recommend him!

    Ruchi K., New York, NY

  • I usually talk too much, but here I am, at a loss for words! I knew today was going to be very special, and lead me to where I needed to be. And although, it was obvious from peoples’ comments, that everyone else understood “meditation”, none of that mattered. What mattered was that we were all together and there was so much love and healing generated. I didn’t know the words, the languages, the poses, you name it, I didn’t know it, but my center did, so I just went with it and sang and allowed myself to “be.” I cannot thank you enough for all the good you are doing for the universe. Today was extraordinary. When I finally arrived home, I ate and then fell into the best three hours of complete sleep I have had in months.

    Angela S., Santa Barbara, CA

  • I am truly grateful I chose Darren for my first Reiki experience. He listened to my concerns and made me feel comfortable and safe for his treatment. After the first touch I was not aware of his presence but many significant events in my life passed through my consciousness. Two very bothersome emotional memories were released with tears but in a good way that left me feeling lighter and clearer. The spirits also provided a significant insight for my own meditation journey that has deepened over time. My original intention was physical healing, but I now feel enlightened to meet all my medical challenges in the future. Darren offers a free Zoom group follow-ups. In the second Zoom session, real knowledge was shared that continues to impact me in a positive way.

    Daniel S., Santa Barbara, CA

  • Darren is a truly gifted teacher and Reiki master, and I feel blessed to be able to learn from him! His thoughtfulness, compassion, and expertise in the teaching of Reiki make the process of learning this powerful healing modality that much more impactful. Experiencing Reiki with Darren is a real gift!

    Anahita S., Santa Barbara, CA

  • Darren has helped me a great deal. I could not have made it through a very hard moment without his help to shift my energies and help me see more clearly. He is generous with his time. I never felt rushed. He takes you in the palm of his hand hands and guides you into another realm where you can experience a sliver of light that pushes you forward. Thank you Darren for being a great source of healing in my journey. 🙏

    Vivien S., Santa Barbara, CA

  • Reiki with Darren is a life changing experience. Darren is kind, compassionate, generous and a true healer. He is also a consummate professional. He has helped me with not only physical issue but a very deep emotional one. Some guidance that Darren gave me after a session unfurled in my meditation to empower me to take action on a deep wish I had been unable to move forward with, a wish that was one of the biggest goals of my life. This is true transformation arising from the love and power flowing through Darren. Don't hesitate to give the gift of working with Darren to yourself!
