Energy Healing Sessions
-
Ani came into my life like an angel when I needed it most. I was just two weeks into a serious cervical spine injury, in constant pain and unable to lie down for more than 20 minutes at a time. Ani guided me through an energy healing session that completely shifted how I felt. She has such a warm, intuitive presence—calm, welcoming, and deeply compassionate. Most incredibly, she eased my pain in a way I hadn’t thought possible. That night, for the first time in weeks, I slept deeply and peacefully. Ani is a true light. I’m beyond grateful for her.
-
Working with Ani has been a truly unique and meaningful experience. She has a rare ability to sense and connect with what is not immediately visible, and to gently guide you through it with both depth and clarity. Her presence is that of a truly gentle and wise soul, combined with grounded and practical guidance that you can integrate into daily life. Every session has helped me understand, release, and grow.
-
I have really enjoyed my healing sessions with Ani. Each time I have felt much more balanced and lighter afterwards, and sensed that Ani was doing very deep work with me. Ani always speaks with me beforehand about what I want to focus on, and she listens on a very instinctive and spiritual level. The sessions also work effectively online.
-
I had the privilege of having a Medical Intuitive reading and an energy healing session with Ani. Her natural intuitive abilities were very clear to me, as her reading left me in awe of how she could know such detail about my health, personal life, and childhood. Her gifts were not only accurate, but were delivered with a compassionate and gentle touch that immediately put me at ease.
-
I started working with Ani at a moment in my life when I was searching for myself and for a solution to a serious family situation for which we had not been able to find the right direction for a long time.
From the very beginning I trusted her, and today I can say that this was one of the best decisions in my life. With her help, I not only found my own path, but we were also able to resolve an issue that had been weighing heavily on our entire family.
My husband, our child, and I all worked with her, and the results did not take long to appear.
I am deeply grateful to Ani Petrova for her support, dedication, and the heart she puts into her work. Sometimes in life you meet people who truly change your path — for me, Ani is one of those people.
-
Ani implements her energy and intuition deeply in her work. She truly connects with the energy of other people and, through intuitive medicine readings, touches hidden aspects that are not immediately visible. I felt much better after the energy healing sessions she did with me. She has an incredible ability to transform the energy of painful physical areas or emotional suffering. It is amazing how deeply she can enter into the suffering body or soul. I highly recommend Ani’s energy healing sessions and intuitive medicine readings.
-
Ani’s reading felt incredibly accurate and insightful. She identified areas where I felt blocked and helped me understand how to reconnect with my desires, breathing, stability, and personal power. I felt deeply seen, supported, and understood. It was the first full reading I had ever received, and I am very grateful for the experience.
-
Ani’s sessions are always incredible. As soon as you walk into the room, you can immediately feel a very strong and powerful energy. Her sessions are deep and intense, and you can truly feel her kindness and care throughout. Whenever Ani says she’ll be visiting my city, I book a session right away.
-
I had a truly meaningful and positive experience with Ani’s healing treatments, and I wholeheartedly recommend her work. Ani is deeply dedicated, attentive, discreet, and incredibly patient. What stands out most is her ability to tailor each treatment to the individual rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach. Her support has been beneficial not only for me but also for my cat, which speaks to the sensitivity and breadth of her practice. Ani’s work goes beyond treatment — it supports true, long-term wellbeing.
-
I had two energy sessions with Ani. During the sessions, I experienced sensations I had never felt before. After the sessions, I found the courage to take actions I had previously hesitated to pursue. The sessions were very effective, and Ani was extremely attentive and supportive in her guidance. I highly recommend having sessions with her.

Pain Relief & Wellbeing
-
After only one month of regular Qigong practice with Ani, I felt a real improvement in my chronic neck and back pain. My concentration improved, my stress levels decreased, and I felt much better overall. Over time, my severe neck pain and cervical vertigo also disappeared. Neither doctors nor physiotherapy had been able to help before. After a year of regular practice of the 5 Elements and the 8 Trigram, I became pain-free. Ani is an exceptional teacher who personalizes her approach so each person can experience the greatest benefits. Many special thanks to my wonderful teacher Ani Petrova.
