“I first experienced Niki’s sound meditation in a group setting which was wonderful and relaxing. I had the honor of having a private session with her and the healing was profound and beyond description! Her space is warm and inviting. I loved all of her instruments – during the gong bath I believe I heard my soul note. The sound and vibration reached my inner core truly bringing my energy back into balance. I highly recommend a session with her…everyone needs to experience her amazing therapy and loving presence.”

“I have been very privileged to attend a few of Niki’s smaller group sound mediation events and each time has been a moving and treasured experience. The sounds of the gong and the other instruments she plays swirl and mingle in the air and seem to wash over you and through you. The elemental wind chimes tinkle and seem to dance in the air as you lay still with your eyes closed. The water drum is my favorite because it sounds like the ebb and flow of the ocean waves along the shore. It is incredibly soothing and relaxing.

I had been dealing with some challenging situations both personally and professionally and Niki offered to do an angel card reading for me. Well! I had no idea what I was in for. Niki did a detailed angel/oracle card reading for me and it was truly an amazing experience. I have never witnessed such an incident like this before. Niki chooses the cards in a unique way and it was incredible how the cards that were ‘chosen’ were so fitting! While she explained the placement and the different meanings and associations, ‘answers’ and confirmations about some of the challenges I was facing seemed to just ‘pop’ out. As I released unnecessary worries and thoughts surrounding these different issues, I was able to focus on finding solutions and acceptance for the potential outcomes. Then as the next week progressed, these challenges began to work themselves out in ways that were positive and beneficial, not only for me, but also for all of the other individuals that were involved.

Working with Niki has been an absolute pleasure. She is intuitive, nurturing and eager to help bring about positive and healing transformation. I look forward to attending many more of her sound meditation events and working with her in future sessions.”

“Went to a sound meditation healing session one Friday at the Prescott YMCA, just one day after a very uncomfortable and limiting groin pull – which as you probably know can often require months to heal completely. So I attended with the intention of accepting and allowing any healing that one hour of wonderful sounds and relaxation could provide, and I let Niki know at the start that I was coming hurt with hopes of facilitating healing. Following the session, Niki asked if I’d be willing to stay so she could try something she’d been guided to offer me. I thought to myself, “are you kidding? Of course.” I was delighted and accepted enthusiastically. I waited as she interacted with each participant as they left the session; after that, she explained and asked permission to use a brass Tibetan ringing bowl on top of my clothes over my core, and then near my groin area; she’s always very gracious and gentle – the consummate professional. I could feel the gentle vibration throughout the center of my body and was very grateful for the individual attention. That afternoon and evening I felt just a bit better, and I was taking it slow and easy. The next morning when I awakened I was fully recovered – even played pickle ball on both days that weekend, and continued the following week with my regular routine of alternating days in Qigong and yoga. It was MIRACULOUS! Niki is a very effective healer and a blessing indeed.”

“I often say that I would never change a thing about my cancer journey. I learned early on that if I was susceptible to cancer, that my body and mind needed to be equally receptive to anything that had healing properties, outside of traditional western medicine. As much as I wanted to survive, thriving was equally important to me.

Niki Shields reached out to me and began doing Reiki energy sessions with me before my first surgery and then continued as I progressed into my ongoing cancer treatments. Something was going right. I attribute my own personal healing to the combination of healing modalities. Each session with Niki was powerful. I felt lighter, clearer, more energetic and positive. Later on she would use tuning forks and sound energy during our sessions. I enjoyed her group sound healing sessions as well as private sessions. Niki is a treasure. She is very intuitive and would highly recommend her for a focused and powerful experience.”

“I never would have believed how medicinal and healing a gong session with Niki could be if I hadn’t experienced it for myself many times. It’s almost magical and surreal. You go into the session feeling pretty good but you find that your sore muscles relax, joints feel pain free and you have a kind of solid but reserved energy you didn’t realize you had.

Those are the physical aspects I felt after every gong session. On the mental side, I noticed that things that would normally bother me no longer bothered me like sudden loud sounds or the behaviors of other people that I would have normally considered rude. On the highway, a loud motorcycle roared past my open car window – that would have startled me but after a Niki Gong session, it didn’t even phase me. And people who would have gotten under my skin didn’t bother me anymore—I felt kindness and compassion for them. If this sounds impossible, I’m being totally sincere. I feel calmer and kinder after every gong session and I suspect that if I do more sessions, those feelings of wellbeing will become a permanent part of me.

I don’t know if every gong master has the same outcome. My positive results may come partly from the energizing, kind, truly happy person who hammers / rings the gong. Before I tried it, I was very skeptical but I thought, “What harm can it do.” Now I’m now a true believer.”

She’s attuned, sensitive and compassionate. Niki lovingly leads her clients through beautiful sound meditations. Each experience is unique. By the end of the meditation I feel centered, grounded, peaceful, and relaxed. I look forward to each and every one of Niki’s classes.

It is a joy to partner up with Niki to do combined Qigong & Sound Meditation classes here locally in the Prescott area. We have discovered the beautiful combination of Qigong and Sound Meditation to be quite beautiful, healing and deeply relaxing. Niki guides and supports each session with gentle wisdom and experience leaving her clients feeling safe and supported.”

“I recently had a sound therapy session from Niki Shields. It was my first one and I didn’t really know what to expect. It’s hard to put it into words to describe what the experience was like, but the word visceral comes to mind. I had never felt so much energy pass through my extremities. The differing vibrational tones were so soothing and emotionally moving, that by the end of the session, I was in tears.”

“I had the most amazing chakra tuning, Reiki and Sound healing session with Niki. I’ve gone to one of her group gong/sound healing meditations and it was awesome and the one on one session was so amazing! I highly recommend her!”

“I met Niki about one year ago at a Chinese Festival at North Mtn Park. My first time at this event and it was awesome to meet her. She brought out her gong and I stood on one side as she played the instrument. WOW. What an experience. She played it with heart and love. I felt it…it brought tears to both of us. She has classes in Prescott and other events and I encourage you all to check her out! Niki I wish you the best on your journey knowing you will be full of healing and love for all those you meet. This women knows how to play the gongs and bowls to bring out the vibrations to heal you on a spiritual level…something you will never forget…when your spirit is good so is your body.”
