I highly recommend Atousa if you are struggling with any type of life experience.  When I first went to see her, I really didn't' know what to expect. I had been through my fair share of therapists over the years trying to get help for my depression, my family troubles, my past childhood experiences, my fears etc.  While they helped at certain times in my life, I felt like I was still not fully able to understand how these issues I was having were so deeply embedded in my mind and how much they were affecting me in my everyday life. Atousa not only tapped into my past and the emotions that were suppressed, she also helped guide me to heal while giving me the tools to keep healing, and ways to continue to deal with life challenges that arise. our sessions were amazing, enlightening and life changing.  She is so kind, warm and non-judgmental. After a session with Atousa, I always leave feeling refreshed, lighter and stronger. She has taken me on a wonderful journey of self reflection that I look forward to continuing. ~ Elizabeth Welsh Jan 2020

Working with Atousa has been life-changing.  She is an intuitive, gifted empath, who uses her wisdom and energy to support you on your journey towards finding more peace, love and fulfillment in your life.  I cannot recommend her enough! ~ Lisa Sarafidis December 2019

Atousa is an amazing gifted healer.  After years of a trial and error approach to healing, I'm so glad I stumbled upon her website.  Immediately connecting ot her energy and light, we worked together over multiple sessions towards my goals of deep healing. I can honestly say I'm truly a changed person from the inside and out having let go of childhood traumas.  You seriously want to work with Atousa if you're ready to thrive! ~ Stacy Lipman November 2019

Atousa has been a game changer for me.  I went to see her because although I was practicing healthy coping skills (meditating, exercising, journaling) I still felt something was off.  I was constantly finding myself in toxic relationships and I wanted better for my life.  I immediately felt comfortable with her when I met her.  She has a calming, nonjudgmental presence.  If elt a shift even after out first session.  I've gone to her four times now and feel so much relief, positivity, and hope.  I'm no sure how to explain her magic, but she has magic.  A heavy weight has been released off of me and I am forever grateful for her. ~ M (anonymous) October 2019

I have the outmost gratitude and appreciation for Atousa for helping me find light in my darkest times.  Her kind nature and therapeutic approach to healing makes it very easy to be calm and open up making the process very effective and introspective.  She has an incredible talent to connect with you in ways words cannot describe.  My experiences with her have shown me that true healing begins internally.  I can't thank her enough for helping me make peace with past traumas that have been hindering my growth as well as checking in daily to make sure everything was ok during the time we were not meeting.  Highly recommend !!! ~ Samir K August 2019

When I first came to Atousa, I was lost in a big storm of confusion and worry, fear, anxiousness, sadness.  I had tried everything I could have before seeing her, I was at my breaking point and I knew I needed to seek healing.  My first few sessions I was still confused but amazed at what we had figured out about me as a person and why I was in this place in my life.  I was skeptical and scared of doing all the hard work that comes with healing.  But I knew if I wanted to feel happiness and free and myself again I needed to continue the process.  As we continued I felt more myself I felt as though I had lost myself but through her I was able to find me again.  Through the many exercises she has taught me to the support and love she has during hte whole process I'd deff recommend her if you feel as though you need healing or help in general.  I can proudly say I am able to handle things all on my won now and see her occasionally.  I am so grateful that the universe brought me to her & couldn't be more proud of myself and her for the work she does, Atousa you are a true blessing and the fact that you are able to share that makes peoples lives so much better! Thanks for all you do . Xo ~ Sabrina Saremi August 2019

Following a challenging 2018 inclusive of stress, anxiety, questioning myself and feeling numb, I decided it was important to avoid reliving that madness and search out support to get myself over and thru the hurdles.  I came across Atousa's website, schedule an appointment for one thing and left my first session raw and busted wide open from a completely new and different experience.  My work with Atousa took me back to the true root of my issue and trauma and exposed things I clearly locked away.  Her guidance and expertise was ultimately the first step in me becoming aware of needing to forgive myself.  Three months later, I'm still on the journey of forgiveness and love, without her support I don't believe I would've ever gotten back to the truth of the WHY.  She is kind, patient, challenging and invested in her clients.  I would recommend anyone leveraging her as a part of their growth and support team.  ~ Keisha Brown July 2019

I initially came to Atousa curious about Reiki/energy work, and I have ended up with so much more. During my first session with Atousa, she honed in on the parts of my body that were lacking or blocked in energy; as she described these areas, it became very apparent to me how these blockages show up in my life. In subsequent sessions we continued to uncover and heal various fears, anxieties, and energetic blockages that show up as physical, mental, or emotional symptoms. She uses various energetic healing techniques and gives me "homework assignments" to work on in between sessions. I have became noticeably more calm and confident over the course of our work together, and I continue to notice positive shifts in my relationships. I look forward to our sessions together and very much appreciate her insight, guidance, and healing presence. If you are ready and willing to make positive changes in your and your loved one's lives, and to get rid of what is holding you back from health and happiness, book a session with Atousa.~ Amelia Barter May 2019

Atousa is a very loving, supportive, and encouraging healer and teacher. I was blown away with how in just my very first session with her she identified critical areas in my life that need work and began using various techniques to help me begin to work through these areas. Be prepared to dive deep. It’s not easy to look yourself in the mirror and she what’s broken, however rest assure that Atousa will be with you every step of the way to help you along your journey.  Atousa is also very accessible. Following our sessions she reaches out to see how things are going. If something does come up, she is just a text away and gets back with you in a timely manner. I’m pleased with the progress she has helped me to make so far and look forward to what more is to come! ~ April B April 2019

I am very lucky and blessed to have met Atousa. I can’t say enough about her and what she has done for me. She came into my life when I needed someone to help me with all the difficulties I was facing and didn’t know how to handle them myself. It all began when  I met a Reiki instructor and started researching what Reiki was. I decided to give it a try and looked for someone close to my house. Making the appoint was very easy. Our first session together I remember feeling calm and hopeful and realizing how I did the right thing by going to meet her. Atousa and I have spent a lot of sessions together and I always make new discoveries about myself, and all the big questions about life in general. She is by far the most interesting and fascinating person I know. It is good to know when something is bothering me I can always see her and leave her place feeling better.  She has helped me learn about myself. I learned that I am strong and have the power to change what I don’t like and no one can take that from me. She helped me see my own power. She is my biggest cheerleader and I am forever grateful! ~ Ani C April 2019 (second testimonial)

I came to you broken for the first time in my life and not knowing why I couldn't get myself back together.  I was always the one who could "pull it back together". You were patient, you gave me wisdom and guidance to look within.  Even though I always knew "how" I am, I never knew "why".  It took me a while to dig deep but what's important is that I am at peace with it.  So thank you, thank you for the time and ENERGY you put into our meeting. ~ Nikki M. Feb 2019

Initially I went to Atousa for reiki healing sessions a week after I was diagnosed with cancer.  Though after that first session, I realized her expertise are far greater than just energy healing.  Immediately when I begin talking to her, a calming presence takes over and fills the room. She listens without judgment, and instead of advising me what to do, she guides the conversation until my Higher-Self/Gut-Intuition answers for me with budding clarity on the situation. Almost every time I go to her, her therapy invokes this higher state of consciousness where every force of life in my body and outside of my awareness is in complete synergy. Atousa’s practice is self-empowering. It’s helping find the balance within ourselves when our outer worlds are so chaotic. After 8 months of seeing Atousa I’ve grown to love meditation in every sense. Movement meditation, dancing meditation, musical meditation. Something she encouraged me to look into as part of my road to recovery from cancer. She also provides a holistic approach to therapy, where emotional, mental, and spiritual health are at the forefronts of her practice.What I’ve realized to be different with Atousa’s practice, as opposed to conventional therapy, is that with her I physically feel released blockages. Occasionally she gives suggestions on various meditative and mindfulness practices that I still ponder about and try today. I always end up with a gigantic heart filled sense of peace when I leave her practice. So I try to make it a routine to see her so I can recharge, reset, and check-in with myself with a deeper sense of clarity on what life is teaching me at any given moment. Thanks to Atousa, I’ve learned to love life, have a better outlook on the cancer and prognosis, and face an immeasurable amount of fears that comes after every doctor’s visit and update on my health. She’s helped me feel strong, hopeful, and diligent on my road to remission & healing and I am so thankful to have her practice accessible to me and within the DMV area. ~ Safoora K Feb 2019

Atousa is a god sent for me.  I was going the most difficult time of my life after i called off my wedding and I came across Atousa pretty much out of no where.  My friend took me to one of her Rieki lady and I felt good but i knew there must be someone like her but much more powerful, in terms of healing and compassion and someone i could really connect with and that's how i came across Atousa.  I set up an appt with her and during our first session itself, she felt all my blockages, pain, hurts and worries.  She knew exactly what she was going to do with me and exactly what i needed. after that session, i have been meeting up with her regularly and during our sessions, she brings out my past pain and hurts that i had suppressed decades ago and talking to her makes me realize how much of my pain and hurt was self-inflicted just becasue I never wanted to feel any of the emotions so I blocked every type of emotion. After every session with her, all my suppressed emotions come out in various forms, for the better and i feel lighter.  I have made SO much progress in just a matter of few weeks that i feel like a BRAND NEW person, I am now someone who is really in love with herself, where i'm no longer counting on others to give me the validation or love i lacked. Atousa is patient and compassionate, she pushes me to face my fears through her various healing techniques but she also knows when and where to stop so don't get too overwhelmed. You have to take it gently, depending on whatever particular issue you're trying to overcome at that time. What i also really love about Atousa is that she is really vested in your growth, healing and the overall journey. after every session, she keeps checking up on you to make sure you're doing ok or if you have any questions for her so that you're not feeling lost in between sessions. Atousa has really turned my entire life around for the BETTER! I am finally a person who has overcome all her pain, fears and hurts and is truly happy living in the NOW! I wouldn't have come across this state of enlightenment if it wasn't for Atousa. I truly believe that universe paved a way for me to find Atousa so that I could really finally be the best version of myself. I am not quite there yet but i am definitely almost there, all with Atousa's help and wisdom.  I have learned more about life, love and spirituality in the past two months with Atousa than everything I ever knew past 30 years.  What i love the most about Atousa is that she doesn't judge you for your negative thoughts or experiences. You truly feel safe with her and she really can read you like an open book! and because she is able to read a person so clearly, she's able to customize her approach that'd work the best for your healing and growth, emotionally and spiritually. I can't thank the universe enough for guiding me to Atousa so that I could heal ad finally get on my path of manifesting everything i truly desire. Like Atousa say's "world of MAGIC is all around you, you just have to be willing to see it". Atousa's studio is like a sanctuary, so quiet and full of light and positivity. I truly look forward to my sessions with her so I can continue on this path of healing and self-worth and very soon become a best version of myself. Atousa is a great friend, healer, and god sent guiding light, truly vested in your growth and path to the world of magic where you'd start to appreciate every little think on this planet. ~ Jas M.

Wonderful energy and welcoming presence.  Atousa is sure to change your outlook and bring light to the situation.  I completely enjoyed my experience and look forward to continuing to receive her wonderful healing sessions.  ~ Nikki M. Jan 2019

Its hard for me to describe how or why Atousa's methods are so effective, but I know they are! Her introspective, unique energy is incredibly healing and she is able to surface and help with deep seeded emotions and events masterfully.  Her clients are lucky to know her.  ~ Amy L. Oct 2018

This review is long overdue.  Atousa's energy is so warm and welcoming.  I visited her for Reiki, in the midst of graduate school & questioning the next phase of my ourney.  I held so many emotions inside, attempting to reach career goals (and other personal issues) and she gave me guidance on truly living in the moment, meditating in those moments, & being true to myself.  She even checked in to see how I was doing/feeling like a day or so later.  Very genuine & so helpful.  I will be back to see her again! ~ Nicole S. Oct 2018

Working with Atousa helped me to bring into conscious awareness thought patterns and behavior that have become unconscious and automatic. She made the invisible blockages visible, empowering me to make a helpful change in my life. I learned to cultivate intention, attention and attitude to identify behaviors I wished to change and establish more beneficial ones. Her work is for anyone who wants to let go of old habits and live with greater well-being and ease. Highly recommend her, she is a blessing. ~ Maggie H.  Sep 2018

​I am glad I made an appointment to see Atousa as I didn't know what to expect. I was looking for something that would make me feel good all aorund and I left her house with feeling good about myself. She is very insightful, caring and gentle. A good side effect of my visit was that this chronic ankle pain I have had for decades was almost not noticeable the next morning. I am excited to see her for more sessions in the future. ~ Ani C. Sep 2018

Atousa has such a warm presence that is both refreshing and therapeutic. Her energy work and wisdom is always enough to help me sort through certain obstacles in my life. She has saved me in so many ways. Having gone to her for multiple sessions has left me feeling aligned and centered and has given me an overall calmness that emanates from the core. She is a bright light and you feel it immediately in her presence. (I sometimes refer to her as light house because of this!) I had first gone to see Atousa a couple of weeks after being diagnosed with cancer as I was having intense pain in my leg due to my tumor. Her first session with me was enough to make me go back regularly. As she worked on my body my pain went away and so did 90% of the other stuff I had bottled up in me due to fear and other stressors. I find that sometimes it can be difficult to open up and talk about your problems transparently without feeling judged or the need to put up walls. Atousa has always give me the space to be vulnerable and therefore receptive to her healing and energy work. She is very intuitive and clear with her work and practices. A lot of the coping mechanisms she has offered as part of her sessions is still helping me on a daily basis. Overall I highly recommend her work as a reiki healer, shaman, life coach/mentor, and as a friend. ~ Safoura K.  June 2018

Atousa has been an absolute blessing. Not only did I feel better after my first session, but I am now progressing more and more each week. She has a customized approach each time and genuinely cares more than I could even express in a review. I could not recommend her more and I feel confident that anyone would feel the same way after meeting her. Thank you Atousa ~ Natalia N March 2018

For the past 10 years, I've closed myself off to people emotionally. I had seen other therapists and made some progress, but I felt that I was not reaching the real issue. I decided to give Atousa a chance and it was the best decision I've made in a long time. Starting with the first session, she was able to spiritually read me and find my pain points emotionally that I've been avoiding addressing for a long time. Atousa offers solutions to gently "work" through you r issue during and between your sessions. I was surprised at how much progress I made within a couple of months! I went from not engaging with people, to developing close, meaningful relationships with the opposite sex. I am learning to trust myself again, be open to others, and allow myself ti gave a good time along the way. She's helped me manage some anxiety about the future by addressing my "overthinking" that runs into the same problem over and over again with a new solution. But that's changed now! She 's been coaching me on small adjustments to my behavior and attitude. And I'm rewarded with people that want to be close to me. That listen and remember what I say. They enjoy my company. They invite me to experience new things. I feel so included. I always thought that it would take me just as long to "lose" the weight of the emotional walls I've put up for so long. Atousa thought me that its my weight to let go instantly. I don't have to carry the walls with me all day and night. It's mine to let go. If you're struggling with any issues that cause anxiety because you ran out of solutions to address them, give Atousa a call. ~ Cathy A. Feb 2018

Atousa has played a significant role as a spiritual guide and energy healer. She has this incredible ability to identify layers that need to be uncovered in your journey to find happiness and reach your full potential. Her work is non-traditional, yet it has enabled me to begin the process of loving myself, accepting love from others, and finding peace with my past. Atousa provides encouragement, understanding and support along the way. And is one of the most insightful genuine people I have ever met. Her work has changed my life. ~ Brandy Jan 2018

I was drawn by Atousa's artwork, which is how I originally found her. I was on a search to take myself to a different level, with energy, and to release some old ties that had been holding me back. And when I met her I immediately knew that it was a good fit; the warm energy I felt in her room and her artwork drew me in. Each step of the way she has guided me and really helped me on my journey. It has not been easy, in fact it has been very difficult at times, but she is always caring and warm and encouraging. And I would not be at the place I am without her. ~ Heather Dec 2017

When I came to Atousa I was so unhappy with my life and my self, I was super critical. I was unhappy in my marriage, which I thought it was breaking down. I was not happy in my carrier, I was trying to make changes to a carrier that was unfulfilling and felt stuck in every direction. I was unhappy about the amount of time I was spending with my son. I came to her because I needed change, desired change, and was desperate for change. We started talking and she started doing her extra ordinary healing. We did tapping, energy work, but most of all she worked with me as a Shaman, as a spiritual healer, who helped me reconnect with the truth of my highest self, who helped me feel the magic inside of me and the love inside of me again. Who helped me gain confidence in my ability to create a life that was truly reflective of my desires and truly reflective of who I am. That journey has been simply amazing, not easy, but simply amazing. She is definitely one of the best things that ever happened to me in my entire life, and I am so grateful for her willingness to walk with me and to help me in this journey of transformation, this journey of returning to myself. ~ Deanna L Dec 2017

I was lucky to find Atousa over the past months. She is knowledgeable, spiritual, intuitive and very strong. My sessions with her have been unbelievable. She is very intuitive and picks up on many things going on in your life and beyond. She has a true kindness, inner beauty, joy of life and the intuition and abilities of a healer. It feels like I've known her forever. She gives great advice. Her session really helped me relieve some stress, and feel more energetic. Her studio is serene and relaxing which helps you to relax more easily. I simply cannot say enough good things about her and her skills. Thank you Atousa!! :) ~ Ivonne K. May 2017

I had two amazing sessions with Atousa. I haven't had energy work before so I didn't know what to expect but when we were done, I felt completely relaxed and the soreness and aches in my shoulder were gone. I'm planning on doing some remote sessions too. ~ Afshin Oct 2017

With the narcissistic, social-media crazed world we live in today, most people only post the parts of their lives that look good. They post the Insta-filtered, 'my left-side is my best side' poses, selfies from the correct angle, and other edited versions of their lives. I'm here to tell you that I'm not that perfect. I know, shocker. I have been struggling with confidence and shyness. It's holding me back in certain aspects of my life. Some people that know me well won't believe this, but it is true. I decided to book an appointment with Atousa Raissyan for Reiki therapy. I needed energy and spiritual healing, as well as physical healing for a pain in my right foot. She's wonderful. At the very least, I had a session in a warm, comfortable room filled with daylight and sunshine and burning sage. For an hour, I was in a state between sleep and awake -- not quite aware, but yet very attuned. Her delicate and powerful touch helped stir up some thoughts that have been stifled. She encouraged me to vocalize whatever sounds felt natural to begin to bring my inner confidence, outwards. I need more work still; I didn't allow myself to completely open up to this opportunity. I did however, notice a difference in my sense of self in the days following my session as well as the pain in my foot lessening. I'm excited to see Atousa again to keep working on my confidence levels and other areas in my life that may benefit from her energy healing. ~ Melissa March 2016

Last week my right arm was feeling weak and my fingers were feeling arthritic. After a session with Atousa the weakness subsided so significantly that I couldn't notice it anymore and my fingers were feeling great. I was amazed by the results and by how soothing and comforting her energy and personality is . Thank you ~ M.Z.  Feb 2016

Atousa Raissyan is a phenomenal healer both physically and energetically. I went to her to resolve/help back issues that I was having and discovered other blockages that were keeping me from moving forward in several areas of my life. She did a combination of Reiki, tapping and vocalization work that helped me see and release old wounds and thought patterns from my past. It was quite phenomenal and very helpful. I felt the change in my body almost immediately and left feeling physically more relaxed, lighter, more flexible and better able to move forward in my life. Atousa - thanks much for your help. I would definitely use her again. ~ Deanna B. March 2016

I attended a workshop led by Atousa which was led very well by her, and the energy I received was very noticeably positive. This was a mindfulness workshop that involved a small group doing meditation and other breathing and mindfulness exercises toward grounding/healing. At the end she allowed for personal expression through the incorporation of art, in painting a box that contained our wishes in life that we let go and let the universe allow to come to fruition. I will definitely like to speak to her again :) ~ Sharon Oct 2016

I have known Atousa for many years and were pleasantly surprised of learning about her new passion and journey that she has taken. So when she announced about her workshop, I wanted to experience it first-hand and I was amazed at the quality of her work and her teachings. She "walks the walk" and I am eager to attend more of her workshops. I highly recommend her. Keep up the great work. ~ Azita Sep 2016

Atousa is excellent in what she does. I enjoyed her workshop and I would really love to take her class again and I would recommend her to all my friends. ~ Soheila Sep 2016

Being in Atousa's tranquil home and do meditation, getting in touch with earth and stars, letting go... was a unique experience. I highly recommend it to all free souls out there. ~ Sarah Sep 2016
