Brian is a genuinely caring and gentle soul who starts his healing and teaching of reiki with compassion and a genuine desire to understand where you are at, and what you are going through. He seeks to heal, and is far from self-promoting. I would refer anyone to him without hesitation. He is also a great teacher and feels deeply connected and inspired by the healing powers of reiki.

I’m not really sure where to begin. I have heard a bit about Reiki throughout my life and had been intrigued by a close friend’s experience with some recent sessions and a class. Having been interested in healing and self/general-life improvement I decided to take a weekend class to learn more about Reiki.

The weekend long Reiki Level 1 class I took was amazing. It was a small intensive over two days with two other people, with Brian as our teacher. We learned hand positions, history and gained hands on experience.

I have had several sessions with Brian now and each one is a little different. I find it to be a time to ask questions, absolutely relax and feel safe while I learn more about myself and body through this energetic healing moment.

My life has changed dramatically, without immense drama. Through sessions with Brian and now giving myself Reiki I have found more calm and courage than before. I don’t think I can accurately describe the speed at which I have grown throughout many ventures in my life following my Level 1 class and subsequent sessions.

Should you be interested in learning more I urge you to book a session, relax and enjoy the opportunity to grow.

I had my first real Reiki experience at NYC Reiki Center in New York, NY.

I have chronic pain and have for years due to Lupus.  I was visiting from out of town and a dear friend suggested that I seek treatment from a man named Brian Brunius.  I was in so much pain the previous day that I had to be pushed into the plane in a wheelchair, which is super sassy for a 30-year-old woman.

Tired, frustrated and emotionally drained, I plopped into the office, removed my shoes and began waiting for the locusts to come.  I would be lying if I said I wasn’t carrying a 50% nervous, 50% skeptical chip on my shoulder when I arrived.  However, the moment I stepped into the room & saw Brian’s warm face everything melted away.  New York City and its loud mouth were gone.  This room, this man, had replaced the harsh growl of the city with comfort and warm light you could almost chew, and boy was that light delicious!

There was a jolt of energy rushing through me as soon as I felt Brian’s freakishly hot hands on my body.  I was in a tremendous amount of pain just from lying there on the table.  Brian was extremely aware of where the pain was….don’t ask me how.  I started crying as I began to feel him chasing the pain out of my body with the precision of a surgeon.  Without flinching, Brian took the time to reassure me & allow me to speak the truth that was mine in that moment.  I can’t tell you that I’ve ever felt safer.

I stood up and noticed the change in my mind, soul & body immediately.  That is something that no doctor I’ve gone to in the last 6 years has been able to facilitate.  I’m honestly so grateful that I was able to bear witness to his gift.

The majority of pains that I’d had the previous day were gone.  In fact, there are some places in my body that were violently painful for weeks before the treatment.  It’s been about 4 weeks now & I have yet to see a lot of them return.  Not to say that I don’t still have ailments, but they’re so much better than they were in many ways.  After I left, Brian was excellent about checking in, sending distance treatments & continuing to offer his assistance without me even having to ask.  I couldn’t be more impressed or thankful.

If you’re in the New York City area and you’re looking for a knowledgeable, compassionate healer that will do any & everything he can to help you, there’s really nothing left to do but make your way to Brian Brunius at NYC Reiki Center.  Tuck your nerves & your skeptical chip in your back pocket and head over immediately.

Before going to see Brian, I had Reiki done on me only one other time. My first experience was a good so I felt pretty convinced of the benefits.

Brian made me feel at ease from the start. He encouraged me to ask questions and speak up if I had any discomfort. I had been experiencing severe chronic pain for nearly 2 years before seeing him. Having a Reiki treatment would be another attempt (after massage, acupuncture, Chinese herbal treatment, etc) to alleviate some of the pain.

After 2 sessions with Brian, I decided to take the certification course so that I could practice on myself and share this healing modality with others. The amount of pain I had been experiencing for nearly 2 years has decreased by some 90 percent — even more.

I highly recommend making a reiki appointment with Brian who is gentle, knowledgeable, patient and positive.

This was my first time doing Reiki. I happened to stumble upon the NYC Reiki Center doing a search on the web. It was the best “accident” that I’ve had. Brian is very professional, informative and calming. His gifts go beyond the application on the Reiki process. He is attentive from beginning to end and even his follow up after the session is over. I also took his level one Reiki instruction and have been using the techniques that he taught as per his lineage every day since and I am looking forward to continuing further study.If you are looking for a great experience with Reiki I highly recommend Brian and the NYC Reiki Center.

When I decided to start training with Reiki, I chose to take Reiki Level 1 with Brian because he has very good and direct lineage and training himself.  Hardly least, he is also one of the most loving and gentle people I think I’ve ever met!  I completed Reiki Level 1 with Brian in May.  His ease in communicating and explaining a seemingly esoteric modality was refreshing and reassuring.  The positive results I am experiencing are undeniable and beyond even my most far fetched expectations.  In addition to the thoroughness of the classes, he is very prompt and generous with follow up and support as questions/comments arise for me.  I am looking so forward to taking Reiki Level 2 with Brian asap.

There are not words to express my gratitude to Brian and his wonderful gift as a Reiki Master. It is my pleasure to write this review. When I first went to Brian I was experiencing adrenal exhaustion, fatigue, and abdominal pain associated with my reproductive organs. In addition, I had been experiencing anxiety and had high stress levels.

From the moment Brian began working with me, I began to feel dramatically better. Physically, I had much more energy, slept restfully, and experienced substantial improvement in inflammation and swelling around my reproductive organs. I found I was better able to handle stress as it affected my body. Emotionally, I felt grounded and centered through Brian’s gentleness with me, his genuine care and his remarkable intuitive ability.

Brian is thorough and committed to my well being as a whole person, on all levels. I felt empowered by him to commit to my healing more deeply. He is also very knowledgeable about Reiki, and I felt I was learning as much as healing. I appreciate very much that Brian is down to earth (and also hilarious!), I am so much healthier. Thank you for your healing hands, Brian.

I’m on my 9th session with Brian now, and I just registered for his next Reiki level 1 class. I love Reiki, and I love the way I feel after a session. I came for a specific physical problem, and even though it’s healed now, I am going to continue with Reiki because I can see and feel how my whole life and my perspectives are starting to change. My spiritual connection is opening, and I’m really looking forward to developing the kind of spirituality that I’ve experienced here. Let’s see what happens after I take the first class and can start giving myself Reiki treatments every day!

Brian is an amazing Reiki healer. He has been giving me Reiki for the last year.  The Reiki energy has improved my health and has assisted me in getting through emotional times in my life.  

I first received distance Reiki sessions during the loss of my mother. The Reiki he sent left me feeling unusually calm given the circumstances of a major loss. In addition, Brian has sent me Reiki through two surgeries and lung issues.

I love the way I feel after I receive Reiki from Brian. After a year of Reiki my mind is mostly calm, my health improving, and my mental state positive.

I discovered Reiki after suffering a serious health issue and it really helped my to relax and recover in an amazing way.

The first time I saw Brian I was ready for my usual pleasant Reiki experience. Well I had the most profound healing and relaxing experience I have ever had and I have practiced yoga for years.

The kind energy and mannerisms of Brian along with his very knowledgeable practice made for a brilliant Reiki session. I can’t wait to pay  NYC Reiki center another visit.
