I have taken multiple classes from Chantal. She is a caring, talented, and knowledgeable teacher. Reiki 1, 2, & 3 were "live classes" and each class taught me so much; always building on what I had learned in a previous class.
I have also taken Shamanism 101 and via Zoom Medical Intuitive, the 2 masterclass (Shamanic Healing, Shamanic Reiki,) and & most recently Soul Retieval and I was delighted how wonderful the online classes were in terms of education and value. I would highly recommend taking a class that resonates with you, either in person or via Zoom. I am looking forward to taking the next class to continue my educational journey very soon.
Carol Schoeler, New Milford CT
I have been Chantal's student for about a year and a half. I received the following individual certifications from the Integrative Energy Medicine Institute: Reiki I, II & III Master, Shamanic Healing, Shamanic Reiki, Shamanic Divination, Elemental Healing, Advanced Divination and Dream & Messages Interpretation, Soul Retrieval and Psychopomp.
There is not a day that goes by that I am not thankful for Chantal – this incredible beautiful soul, teacher, healer, educator for all the love and patience and guidance and her providing the tools for me to be healthy happy and whole. I gained with this program the confidence, knowledge and ability to now work with my own clients and I will continue to take class from her and pick her brain as much as possible.
If you want to change your life or career I recommend the IEM Institute's programs. Love and light
Jennie Ellis, Shelton CT
I have been to many different energy healing workshops, lectures and wellness centers, but after taking several classes with Chantal I can honestly say that I gained the most from the insights and expertise I gained through the IEM Institute courses.
After each workshop, playshop, or drum circle, I walk away with more knowledge on how to heal myself in order to begin to serve as a healing facilitator for others. Chantal’s method of teaching as well as her philosophies about our ability to heal ourselves truly resonate with me and motivate me to keep coming back.
In the Therapeutic Dream Interpretation Course, Chantal covered much of the information that was introduced to me while I studied Psychology in college, but in Chantal’s course this information was taken off the page and applied to the group in a real, tangible, experiential way. I came away not only with meaningful insights about my dreams, but also with a refreshed excitement about what kinds of incredible secrets lie within our dreams, our hearts and our minds.
The skills I gained from the Shamanism 101 course as well her Reiki training furthered my belief in our ability to access as well as utilize these latent secrets waiting within us. It is in truly knowing oneself that we are able to love the self, and through love comes the great healing we all seek.
Anyone who is seeking to find something greater within their life or within their self, I highly recommend you invest in a class with Chantal and you will not be disappointed.
Jennie receive IEMI certifications for Reiki I, II, and III Mastership, Shamanism 101, Shamanic Healing, Shamanic Reiki, Shamanic Divination, Elemental Healing, Advanced Divination and is still working to complete the Integrative Energy Medicine Practitioner certification.
Rebecca Flood, Westport, CT
This is my 8th training with Chantal, 3 of which were Reiki Certifications. This does not include a retake of some classes. I can vouch for Chantal’s authenticity, clarity, commitment, personal experience, integrity, and intuition. She lives and breathes these metaphysical teachings; and has been at it for most of her life. The day is full; she would keep going if there were more hours in the day. Her knowledge extends far beyond the 20 page manual that accompanies each class.
I am a yogi of 12 years; and still, I admit I have some skepticism. I explore many philosophies. I am taking these certifications to contrast and compare. Chantal’s explanations jive with my most authentic teachers, living, and no longer on the planet. Yet she a living local teacher, offering her life work at very reasonable prices. She honors my many questions with patience and compassion. Her integration and understanding allows explanations to come forth with ease; while I am just trying to understand it intellectually.
I highly recommend all of Chantal’s trainings.
Reiki 1, 2, 3 Certification Training
Dillon's Mother
My 9 year old son, was diagnosis in August of 2018 with adrenal insufficiency due to a rare reaction from asthma steroid medication. Dillan received Reiki energy medicine from Reiki 2 and Reiki 3 students practicing to complete the required 40 and 80 hours or Reiki on others to take the next level.
Dillon received 5 distant reiki sessions from IEMI Reiki 2 & 3 students over a course of a couple weeks in July and it gave him the boost that he needed. His energy level spiked, he is happier, clearer headed, and now is being more proactive in wanting to participate in just “life”. His speech has become clearer, he is able to think clearly to what he wants to say and be able to articulate it so we can understand it. I am noticing that he is laughing more and telling jokes again. His skin color is a healthy color and his blue eyes are sparkling, no longer dull. His attitude changed dramatically from depressed and anger to just happiness, confidence. He is spontaneous and willing to try things that before he said was too stupid. He jumps up and is running around being active.
I am seeing more of the sweet happy boy from long ago in such a short period of time. I told him that he received distant reiki, he looks at me like not fully understanding how it all works but I tell him that he received it, asks him how he feels, he always says he feels great and then hugs me. And just recently he sat down with me and was for the first time on his own will curious as to what reiki was all about! Before he would tell me that it was stupid and would turn away from wanting to know what it is.
The reiki boost he is receiving is exactly what was needed to put that spark of life back, we are still on the road to recovery but it doesn’t seem such a long road any more. I am confident at his next checkup in the fall he will be a healthy full of life 10 year old!

I did a lot of research to choose a Reiki instructor who has experience/expertise with zoom training and Chantal's company stood out among the rest.
I also appreciated her vast knowledge in so many healing modalities, so that I can keep expanding on my own through one teacher. I know I made the right choice after I did my Reiki 1 training about 4 weeks.
I have been practicing the self-healing regimen she recommends daily with profound effects on my medical, mental and emotional health. The most unanticipated and lovely impact has been the personal insights that have come from Reiki which have caused me to evolve in areas of my life that have been stagnant. I've cleared things that I didn't even know I was holding on to, and in changing myself I see the positive effect ripple out into the lives of those closest to me as well. Along with the Reiki, she taught a protection meditation that really works when dealing with folks who are difficult, a very nice bonus. The experiences of being attuned were the most amazing spiritual experiences I've ever had.
I just signed up for Reiki 2 and genuinely can't wait. I am so excited!
Holly Burton, Owner of Walnut Beach Wellness Center, Milford, CT
I have received healing services from Chantal and participated in her workshops as well as collaborated with her.
I have done my Reiki level 1 and 2 training with her. She is compassionate and a great healer.
Samantha Alder, CT
I completed Reiki certifications 1 + 2 with Chantal and both learning experiences were amazing. After completing Reiki 1 and practicing on myself for 21 days I now find my mind to be more open and clear. I also have found myself to be more accepting of myself, which was a pretty significant issue pre Reiki 1.
After completing Reiki 2 I was nervous that I wouldn't be able to successfully perform the sessions without the help of Chantal. But I took the time to review my notes and all materials curated by Chantal herself and I have been practicing frequently on myself and others. Most recently, I performed a distance healing session for a friend and after the close of the treatment I mentioned to my friend that I was sensing something around her ears. She didn't think much of it, but soon went to the doctor's later that same week for another reason and discovered that she in fact has an ear infection! I was elated that I was able to pick up on this and it definitely boosted my confidence. My intuition has always been increasingly strong but it's a great feeling knowing that I can now channel Reiki, be Reiki and harness my abilities to help others.
Overall you will find that Chantal is a patient and passionate teacher who makes herself readily available to her students. The curriculum and resources are easy to comprehend and well detailed. I'm looking forward to expanding my knowledge base and taking more of Chantal's classes in the future.
Donna Coughlin, FL/CT
I am so grateful that my path lead me to Chantal. I recently completed Reiki 1 with her and I now look forward to learning more as she is an extremely knowledgeable and confident guide. The experience was better then anything I could of wished for and I felt like divine energies were definitely at work. Things shifted for me after the certification and I have more clarity and relaxation about my purpose in life. I highly recommend her to anyone who is looking to find a teacher of the healing arts.
Sergio O, Fairfield CT
I came across Chantal's website coincidentally (there are no coincidences in life) while I was doing some research about Reiki. The website was very rich and informative, so I decided to get in touch in order to learn more.
I signed up for Reiki 1 class and I was very positively impressed by Chantal's passion and ability to explain and teach about this infinitely powerful energy that creates and sustains the entire Universe.
At the time I was suffering from an inflammation of the sciatic nerve that was giving me much pain and affecting the way I was walking; I was seeing a chiropractor who was definitely helping me, but not entirely. After class, as requested, I started practicing Reiki on myself daily and after a few days, the pain was completely gone. I was so happy with these results that I signed up for Reiki 2 and my intention is to reach the third and final level.
Without a doubt, Chantal is the go-to person if you want to learn more or discover this practice that will give you the tools to become a channel of God's infinite Power and Love so that He can help others through you.
Dana W, Milford CT
I really enjoyed your reiki 1 class. I gave myself reiki in the morning the following day. Yesterday my daughter had a low fever from teething and fighting off a cold so I gave her reiki. I really felt it flowing for her. Her fever could be felt through her whole body and when I was finished you could slightly feel it only in her head. I’m getting ready for work now and about to give myself some morning reiki! I am having some difficulty getting into the habit to do it but I’m trying to stick with it every day. Hope to see you soon!
Jennifer Saslafsky, New Haven CT
I’ve taken reiki 1 & 2 with Chantal. It has been an amazing experience.
Last year my dog Bella had cancer on her back paw. I was devastated because she is 10 years old and I didn’t know if it would spread. The drs spoke of possibly doing chemo on her.
Speaking with my family we decided it was not going to be an option. I made sure every night to do reiki on Bella. I read that animals and children do not need as much as we give ourselves. So I would place my hands on her and leave them there until she decided to get up and move away. That was really all the reiki Bella needed. Today Bella is cancer free and the cancer never spread.
Andrea Finnegan, Madison, CT
Immediately after taking Reiki 1 with Chantal, I felt less anxious about the “what if’s” in life and more trusting of my intuitions. Story: I am a mother of three children, working part time, and I have been searching for almost a year for a yoga teacher training class that would fit my family’s demanding schedule.
After practicing Reiki 1 on myself for so many days, my mind became comfortable with just letting things “be as they will be”. I stopped trying to search. I had this feeling deep within that a yoga class would appear to me when it was perfect timing. After not trying anymore, within a month, I accidentally (or not so accidentally!) stumbled upon a yoga teaching program that not only made sense schedule -wise for me, but was within only 5 miles from my home.
I credit this discovery to the trust and confidence that reiki has taught me: to just be. I am so grateful to have so many things fall in place, effortlessly due to my intuition and trust. Reiki 2 has opened my eyes wider at possibilities and the true ways in which all living things are connected. If more people knew of this mindset, think of the positive change it would have on the world, for all of us! Miracles everywhere. Chantal, thank you for your teachings. I look forward to many more.
Kimberly Tiddei, Brandford CT
The class was amazing very informative and so much more of a spiritual experience than I thought it would be! I thought your instruction was really clear and easy to understand and I could tell you genuinely care about teaching your students! I'm super excited to continue my reiki classes. I have been using it on myself for everything from headaches to sore feet after a long day at work. I have been doing the entire body session on myself every day and it feels stronger each time it is absolutely amazing!
Maria B., Bethany CT
I highly recommend receiving Reiki training from Chantal. She is a wonderful teacher who is loving, gracious, kind and knowledgeable. She provides her students with detailed coursework materials to study from and many opportunities to practice this spiritual work. She embodies Reiki and is truly a master in every sense of the word. I will also add that I was completely transformed by learning Reiki.
My extrasensory perception is significantly enhanced and I have been awakened to the spiritual world in new and amazing ways. You've heard the commercials from advertisers that promise that you'll amaze your friends by the changes that will happen to you when you use their product or take their course? Well that exactly describes what has happened to me.
My life is full of joy and appears to be guided by the angelic realm. I was just introduced to the work of Doreen Virtue and found myself nodding in agreement while reading all her descriptions of how angels communicate with us, because this is how I now experience life.
This is not to say that I no longer encounter difficulties; however, the sense of awe from the happenings and gifts received each day has been unending since taking Reiki I and Reiki II and regularly following the practice.
I very much look forward to taking the Reiki III class with Chantal.
Renee Rattray, Guilford CT
Thank you so much for your email. I have read it over and over. Your words help me understand what happened and what to do. I am doing Reiki on myself almost every day, and I feel it working. Sometimes I go to bed after doing Reiki, and I sleep so deeply that I have to remember who and where I am when I wake up. I am also less fearful, and can feel calm and positive about the future.
Laura K., Wallingford CT
I've recently had the pleasure of studying Reiki 1 with Chantal and can't begin to tell you how grateful I am for finally learning this modality. I had studied with a couple of different teachers and never felt confident enough to practice. With Chantal I found her to be very knowledgeable and she taught in such a way that even the novice beginner could understand. Most important to me was how she honored the sacred space of receiving the attunements separate from class. I left knowing what was expected of me if I chose to move on or not and how simple it can be to use this energy in everyday life. I recommend this class with Chantal as a true blessing and a wonderful gift for self.
After taking Reiki 2 I can honestly say Chantal is a true inspiration to work with and learn from. She teaches all the curriculum that's needed and also keeps sacred space for attunements which is very important. I left knowing what I am capable of and what exactly is required of me to practice on others to share the gift of Reiki. I've taken a few Rieki classes with other teachers and just never felt the class was taught seriously enough for me to practice but with Chantal it was very clear and she made sure everyone understood how to move forward. Another great gift to learn and share. Forever grateful! — Laura K.
Eric Langberg, Kapau HI
Thanks to both Reiki 1 and 2 training I have received from Chantal, I feel that I have been given dynamic tools to make a difference in the world. My intention as a musician is to promote healing prayers for humanity and Mother Earth. Reiki has allowed me to channel energy in support of this intention without getting "tripped up" by my ego. I highly recommend Chantal's Reiki classes for anyone seeking truly empowering and enriching life experiences.
Kim L., Guilford CT.
I came to Reiki after stopping work as a full time as a psychiatric nurse for over 20 years. I had experienced energy work in the past, and felt I was someone who was sensitive to feeling energy, when healing techniques were used on me.
With each class my awareness increased, and my feeling of strength in knowing what my purpose is. My sense of fear went away, I feel more confident in what I am doing. I don’t question it, I don’t worry about it. I know I am doing what I am meant to do.After my Reiki 1 certification, I remember a distinct change in my perception, I felt more able to sense the energy of those around me. Doing Reiki on myself, I felt further heightened my perception of energy as I did Reiki sessions on others. Also I just felt more optimistic and more in touch with opportunities, and what the universe could offer me.
After the Level 2 certification, I began doing more Reiki on others, I began doing distance Reiki on a friend of the family who lives out of state. My perception of the energy I was feeling was intensified, I started to feel more in touch with my Reiki guides and was more able to give feedback to clients I worked on.
At this point I wanted to be able to share Reiki more, and the opportunities just seemed to present themselves. It felt like the universe made available to me opportunities to pursue what I was interested in; but I also felt like my desires were more in alignment with what my purpose here is. I understood my purpose, and that my experiences in life have lead me to this point. Looking for opportunities to do Reiki, I found the Yale New Haven Hospital uses Reiki volunteers. I applied and was hired to be a Reiki volunteer.
After several months of volunteering and getting a lot more experience doing Reiki, I had the required 40 hours of practice to take level 3. I then took my Reiki 3 certification class.
This is my story. Reiki has worked for me at this point in my life. But on a basic level, I feel that Reiki has put me in touch with what is best for me, and allowed me to release my fear and simply be!
Obviously, I was able to get in touch with all of this from Chantal's teaching but I also think anyone who really wants the best experience has to be willing to do their own work and to get in touch with their own energy and what their path is.
Robyn Hulligan, Guilford CT
Chantal is a powerful healer, a knowledgeable source on several healing modalities, and an excellent teacher of Reiki. Not only did she clearly present class material and patiently answer questions, but also, she personalized my learning experience so that it was tailored to the healing projects unique to me. Class time flew by, as she fluidly moved from lecture, to receiving symbols, to practical training.
I have taken several classes over the years on different forms of energy healing, and put Chantal at the top of my list of recommended teachers. What’s more, I practice what I learned from Chantal almost every day, on myself and/or others. My clients and I all feel the healing effects, e.g. pain and inflammation subside or disappear, and physical and emotional stress is relieved resulting in relaxation.
I am deeply grateful to Chantal for introducing me to Reiki, encouraging my practice, and directing myself and others toward wellness.
Angela Pescetti, Greenwich CT
After completing Reiki level one with Chantal I left with such a thirst for more knowledge. I came to the training with no intent to teach Reiki or become an active practitioner. I can say that I now have a desire for both and much more. There is so much to learn from Chantal- there aren't enough hours in the day! She is an infinite well of wisdom and knowledge and I look forward to continue to learn from her and to integrate the teachings into my life. I feel confident in my own abilities after going through training and I can feel that the information is coming from a very experienced, genuine and intuitive source. I feel very blessed that my path led me to her! Thanks.
Jesse Rovero, Danbury CT
Chantal Guillou-Brennan's Reiki 1 and Reiki 2 classes are excellent for anyone wanting to learn about Reiki. Chantal uses her insights and experiences to enhance her strong knowledge of the subject. It was a wonderful experience and I highly recommended it to anyone interested in learning about Reiki. — Sincerely, Jesse Rovero.
Esther Leiva, West Haven CT
Chantal's presentation and organization of the lineage and the teaching materials is excellent. The attunements are very spiritual, deep and allows one to really acquire a feel for one's guide on this very special journey into the temple, the ceremony, and the familiarity of observers within in Reiki I.
Chantal's experience and many spiritual gifts come through throughout the whole process. I am looking forward to Reiki III in November.In Reiki II, a similar feel is witnessed in the attunements. In addition, the symbols and the actual practice with a fellow classmate are very helpful and add depth to our role as vessels who channel the healing power of the Divine.
Bob B., Acupunturist, Newtown, CT
Chantal Guillon Brennan is an excellent instructor, she took her time to be sure we understood clearly all aspects of the course. Answered all questions on how to heal myself and others. The amount of information was at first site overwhelming but with her assistance I had a much better understanding. I would absolutely recommend her classes and would attend additional classes myself. Thank you for the opportunity.
Anna Bagley, Madison CT
I was attuned to Reiki third level by Chantal. I first met Chantal at a Reiki share. As I was reiking her, realized a lot more energy was flowing to me as if she were Giving me Reiki. She has an exceptional understanding of energy. She knows how it is manifested in one and offers assistance in a positive manner. Chantal is truly gifted and talented, very loving and an exceptional person. So happy I met her.
Rachael Nicole, Stamford, CT
Thank you so much Chantal! It was such an amazing experience with you on Saturday. You are a phenomenal teacher and facilitator. I look forward to working with you more in the future. I am already experiencing so much joy after receiving my attunements!
Marilyn, Honolulu HI
Thank you for the Reiki One certificate. It's the one and only Reiki One certificate I've ever received! (I took Reiki 1 twice before but I never felt anything.) Since the class I've run Access Bars on a couple of people and feel a difference in that my hands and every Bars point gets extremely warm, hot even.
During one session of one hour and 15 minutes my hands actually felt like they were sweating [I think they were!], that's how hot the releasing energy was. Before the class, I frequently felt warmth from some Bars points, but usually not all, and not always for the entire time on any one point . Now it's every point and for the entire time.
Reiki has ramped up the potency and I believe the effectiveness of my Bars sessions. It's incredible. I am still a bit in shock about it..... experiencing such a big change after 4 years of being a professional Bars practitioner.
Thank you so much!! Love, Light and Aloha, Marilyn.
