Aleesha has been on her spiritual path for almost 20 years. She began reading Tarot and being attuned with the first degree of Reiki. Her first Reiki clients were animals. She worked with cats, dogs and horses, assisting them by communicating their thoughts and wishes to their human companions. Since then, she has worked with many human Reiki clients, and she also provides readings using Tarot, Scrying, and communicating with people’s guides and angels.
Aleesha was also blessed by becoming a Reiki Master/Teacher in 1998. Since that time she has lived her “Reiki Principles” and attuned students from all over the world. She does hands-on attunements beside her pond, (in Canada) for students who live close enough to her; and distant attunements for her students in Australia, England, Holland, Switzerland, the U.S. etc “Click here to read testimonials”

I am a Reiki Master Teacher. This means I've gone thru the 4 levels of Reiki, studying it's principles and using the energy in different and unique ways. I've been blessed with having this wonderful healing tool in my life since 1989. I first discovered Reiki shortly after my daughter lived through spinal meningitis. I was spent; emotionally, physically and spiritually. Empty. At a mini psychic fair outside a church I was asking a bookstore owner if he knew of a book which could assist me in… well, I didn't know what. But I knew I needed something. He asked me to sit down and let him channel 5 minutes of Reiki into my crown chakra (head). I couldn't believe what I was feeling! This tingling, warm loving sensation was moving down my head, into my shoulders and into my heart. When he took his hands away the first words out of my mouth was "How can I do that?" I immediately signed up for an upcoming class. Since that day my life has changed dramatically. I have found myself spiritually. I have greater joy and happiness as well. Reiki has changed every aspect of who I am and how I am. Before Reiki I was vague, confused, a caretaker and very unsure of my esteem and worth. I never said what I meant in fear of alienating someone, so I just agreed with everyone all the time. I was never 'one' person. Rather I was different with everyone I was with depending on what 'role' I played, what 'person' I was with them. I never wanted my friends to get together because I never knew who to be! Reiki grounded me. It gave me a center. Somewhere to begin, somewhere to plant myself and to grow from. It wasn't a miracle pill for change but it was a catalyst and opportunity. It brought things into my life, I believe, I never would have been open to before. 'Life' was flowing through me for the first time. I began making changes in my life. Living the "Principles of Reiki" and as I lived these principles one moment at a time, I found myself changing into a person who I really liked and could actually respect! What is Reiki? Well, "Rei" is Universal Life Energy, and "Ki" is Chi. Dr. Usui rediscovered the sacred sanskrit symbols in the 1890s. In the 1900s he attuned Dr. Hayashi and then in 1939 he attuned Master Hawayo Takata. She attuned 22 masters. I am under the lineage of Phyllis Lee Fukumoto - Master Takata's granddaughter. Becoming attuned (whether hands on or by distance) to this energy means your chakras recognize the vibration of Reiki and you can channel the energy with a mere thought or intention. There is no need to 'get focused' etc. Your conscious or sub-conscious mind only needs to have the desire to channel and VOILA you are! I'm hoping to assist each one of my students to feel the gentle loving touch of Reiki. It may change your life today, or it may just plant a seed for another day… As my mother always says, "Plant your shade trees, you never know when you'll need them!" namaste' |
Much of what Aleesha learns comes from her Guides and Angels. She believes
very strongly that open, honest communication is needed with our Spirit
Helpers and Ancestor Guides to achieve enlightenment and to walk our path.
She assists students in creating that channel of communication for themselves
through the use of Reiki and meditation.
Nothing about Aleesha is stagnant for long. She loves to grow and find new passions for herself. Gardening is one of them. Assisting Mother Earth to compost and flourish is one of her many delights. Writing is another, she has been writing articles and a regular column for Body Mind Spirit Magazine since it’s inception until the October 2003 issue when she left to embark on a new challenge of creating a new online publication Timeless Spirit Magazine.
Aleesha was taught the art of Ear Coning by a Buddist Monk in Vancouver B.C. She has coned many ears, and also teaches this art.
Past Life Regressions and Soul Retrievals are just a few of the other services she offers for her clients and students. During a reading, if a soul retrieval is required, she provides it. If the clients need to learn how to ground themselves, learn to meditate etc., she teaches them the basics. Assisting people with their paths and teaching enlightenment is Aleesha’s path.
Aleesha’s daughter says “My mom likes to teach people to fish,
rather than just giving them a fish.” Aleesha prefers to teach people
how to do all the services she provides so they can heal themselves and
heal others. Private and group lessons are available.
Aleesha recommends many of her students read this book by Tira Brandon-Evans. It's a great way to get started for the spiritually enlightened beginner, even if you're non-Shamanic.
It teaches deep grounding exercises, aids with visualization, assists you in learning to trust your intuition, and so much more. By far one of the most superior books Aleesha's ever read on Shamanism. At $9.00 a copy it's a huge bargain… packed with truly invaluable information.
Please visit Elder Grove Press today and purchase "The Green and Burning Tree: A Faery Shaman's Handbook".
On the 3rd Monday of every month, Aleesha leads a Meditation/Enlightenment Group in her home near Chilliwack, British Columbia, Canada. As this class is limited to create an intimate environment for growth and sharing, please email her for space availability.
Because of the many requests she has had for her to teach tarot classes, Aleesha is now teaching classes in her home near Chilliwack, British Columbia. As this class is limited to 4 students per session to create an intimate environment for growth and sharing, please email to secure a space in the next session.
If you are interested in becoming a student or client of Aleesha’s, please do not hesitate to email her. Sorry, but she doesn’t provide free services. She believes very strongly an exchange is always needed whenever energy is provided. This is one of the first lessons Dr. Usui learned after being blessed with the miracle of Reiki in the early 1800’s, and it’s one of the many things Aleesha is emphatic about.
When you are constantly only giving and giving, and there is no energy
coming back to you, you become empty. Exchange is vital to our growth
and health. Money is one of the forms of exchange Aleesha accepts.
She is open to other forms of exchange as well, although please remember an exchange only works if what is being exchanged is desired by both
recipients. Some people’s exchange with her is money and here are
the guidelines.
EXCHANGES:
- Reiki Attunements
- Level I (First Degree) - Hands on or Distant Attunement - $100
- Level II (Second Degree) - Hands on or Distant Attunement - $200
- Re-attunement (any level) - Hands on or Distant Attunement - $50

- Meditation/Enlightenment Group - $5.00 (3rd Monday of every month)

The "energy" is free, it’s "time" which is precious.
I happily accept money orders or paypal whenever needed.
What is a hands on session compared to a distant one?
Your hands on session takes place in my home but if you are not available for a hands on session or if you live too far away then I can send the sessions to you, for you to take when the time is right. Both methods are equal in duration and healing.

“TESTIMONIALS”
Every Reiki Master Teacher hopes her students will outshine her.
I am privileged in being Aleesha's Reiki 'Grandmother'. Aleesha's mastery of
Reiki is unquestionable. I hope she will give me many more Reiki
'Great-Grandchildren' who will in turn create more Reiki Master Teachers in
the years to come.

Once in a rare while a Reiki student comes along who is a very special, bright shining light. As a teacher you just know this one will go far, fulfilling every instructor's dream. When Aleesha came into my life I knew she was a rising star who would be making her mark on the world. She indeed embodies the truest and deepest principles of Reiki; and has far exceeded even my greatest expectations.
Her lineage is certainly impressive, as she is the Reiki daughter, grand-daughter, and great-grand-daughter in a lineage of Shamans, and her Reiki ancestry traces back directly to Phyllis Lee Furumoto; Master Hawayo Takata's granddaughter.
If you are fortunate enough to have the opportunity to be a student of
Aleesha Stephenson, in my opinion you have found one of
the very best Reiki
Master/Teachers available in North America.
Sincerely, Magi Frost Reiki M/T
Aleesha's Reiki Mother

I am most fortunate, for on my life's path I have met someone who will teach me, guide me, love me, (regardless of my perfections and all my imperfections)… She is my Reiki Master Teacher (M/T).
One of the main things she has taught me is to stop rescuing people. By all means help, guide, talk, teach, listen, learn, love and care for them; but do not rescue them. For me this was, and still is, a difficult lesson to learn; to distinguish between helping and rescuing.
To rescue is to take on a person's karma by 'handling' the entire situation for them. Taking over and 'fixing' their problem. This is their lesson so they must find their own way out, they must be responsible for themselves. Learning where they are, how they got there, the part they played in creating this situation in their life… is their lesson. We are only brought into their lives to show them a way of repairing, learning, healing, and growing. We are not the controllers of their destiny. Sometimes people gladly hand over their problems to anyone willing to take them on.
Back in my 'self-thought hero' days when I was rescuing, I would jump into peoples lives and take over for them… fix it all up, only to end up in a mess myself. And then these people would go off and re-create the same scenario, only with different participants. Ironically, I figured out I was doing the same thing, jumping in and rescuing person after person. This was a lesson I had to learn, as I found myself again and again in a disheavelled heap after another rescue attempt (even though I called it 'helping').
To help is to enlighten, as to how they are creating these events in their life so it won't happen again. How many times have you done the same thing over and over again? So a crucial part of being there for others is to discuss why they have done and re-done this.
Assisting is to shine light and bring clarity to the situation for the person in need (be it yourself or another). This requires the skill of detachment; something else my loving M/T taught me. Stand back and don't become too emotionally involved in the outcome of other people's scenarios. It IS their choice after all, their life. Trust in the Universe/God/Goddess all will be as it should… perfect in this moment.
Below I've listed some of the many things my M/T taught me:
- Don't be a rescuer.
- A M/T learns from their students while teaching.
- Be worthy of being trusted by others - live in honesty.
- Trust in the Universe/God/Goddess.
- Prosperity is a constant flow, not a one time occurence.
- Ignorance is NOT bliss.
- The Reiki principles are a way of living.
- Walk your talk daily and teach by example.
- Someone other than my Mum can love me regardless… and I am lovable!

The first attunement I received was hands-on from a Master/Teacher here in the Netherlands, so Aleesha wasn't my first Reiki Master. Then why change to another M/T? I think its important my Reiki M/T is someone I respect and with whom I want and can have a relationship, because Reiki isn't just about getting an attunement (or two, three, four). Reiki is a way of life, and this implies your M/T will be someone who shares part of your (spiritual) growth. With Aleesha I do have this relationship. I am very happy I chose to become one of her students. She is a great teacher, she has and will always assist me in every way possible.
I have received all 4 reiki attunements (M/T level) and some re-attunements by distance. I can assure you - my experiences of receiving the distant attunements have been even "stronger" than the one I received hands-on.
Thanks Reiki-Mom!

Aleesha is a unique and caring teacher. She provides a comfortable learning environment and has a teaching style which made me feel very relaxed and at ease. Her insightful approach to teaching urged me to live and experience 'outside the box'. This creates a synthesis between the ancient techniques, and learning to listen and be guided by my own intuition.
The Reiki journey allows me to feel such a connection to everything. It is a beautiful learning experience which enables me to approach life in a healthier way; body, mind and spirit. It allows me not only to grow myself, but to help heal others as well. As one who is travelling along a healer's path, I have to say, I am so happy I have had such a wonderful teacher.
Thank you, Aleesha!
