Sameer

About Sameer

In 2007 I fell seriously ill with a digestive condition – I had test after test done, took antibiotics, tried twice-weekly acupuncture, herbal remedies, and psychotherapy, but nothing worked. One day an acquaintance suggested that I look into energy healing, and serendipitously, a few weeks later I was learning how to channel an energy called Reiki Tummo.

After a year of self-healing, my condition completely disappeared and I felt happier, healthier and more whole than ever before. I felt a call to share this gift with others and so I left behind a successful career as a journalist and founded The Transformance Center in Manhattan, a space where the miraculous could be safely encountered. For the next three years, I coached, healed and supported clients from around the world as they manifested profound change. I helped them to heal heartbreak, start businesses, create more financial prosperity, manifest fulfilling relationships, and most importantly, to step into a deeper feeling of empowerment and self-love.

I relocated my practice to Los Angeles in 2014, where I now work with clients remotely via Skype and phone sessions and in-person at my healing studio. I’m currently writing a book which will bring the message of Transformance to a larger audience, and I’m the founder of Soul Candy, an online store selling Reiki Tummo-charged healing crystals, sacred incense and other spiritual treasures.

Testimonials

Keith Harman In some ways its been hard to know what to say as what we do is so unique . It's non-traditional therapy that combines the best of therapeutic treatment with spirituality and insightfulness that stretched beyond the boundaries of what I expected. You have given me insight into my own dilemmas which would have been hard to achieve through other means. Your ability to be inside my thoughts and to have me see them and experience them from a different perspective has lead me to healing a place in my soul that has always been a little broken. Its perfect that it has been about a year since we started working together. What an amazing year...truthfully, I am not sure I would have made it without your help.

Brittany Weeden I came across Sameer’s work while reading a W magazine article a few years back now. I was seeing an energy healer at the time but wasn’t impressed by the work we were doing and wasn’t feeling like much was happening outside our hour long sessions. When I came across the energy healing article in W, something about Sameer’s quotes pulled at me; I was energetically drawn to his words. So, I immediately Googled him and requested my first appointment with him. Looking back on where I was that day and currently observing where I am today, I can say with strong and confident affirmation that Sameer’s gifts of energy work, psychological understanding, spiritual insights, and strategic guidance tools have all without doubt played a huge role in the personal and professional shifts I’ve made over the past three years. I was aware and acknowledged that my life needed to change, it is Sameer who has guided me through the incredible process in order to make those changes. He’s kind, caring, empathetic, gentle, respectful, intuitive, compassionate, understanding, intelligent and truly believes in each and every one of his clients. He’s what I call my best spiritual friend

Matilda Livieratos I have been working with Sameer for 3 years now. Looking back, it is impossible to deny the profound effects Sameer’s guidance, intuition, compassion and healing energy has had in helping me get closer to becoming my best self and actualizing the future I want. When Sameer and I first met, I was in the depths of my depression. My grief surrounding two concurrent losses had begun manifesting itself in insidious ways and affecting my everyday life and health in means I could not identify, let alone begin to resolve. Sameer’s unconditional positive regard and gentle guidance helped me find patience, kindness and hope in myself, beginning the long road towards recovery. One of the reasons why my work with Sameer is still so relevant today is because he is able to ‘wear many hats’ seamlessly and interchangeably, possessing a plethora of skills that he can bring to the table. Sameer is beyond any doubts an incredibly gifted healer, but, he is also able to take on the role of a counselor, an advisor and a good friend, rendering him invaluable to any challenge whether intellectual, organizational, emotional or spiritual. Lastly, and perhaps most importantly, Sameer practices what he preaches and is continuously working on better himself. This allows for him to demonstrate great insight and provide valuable advice when dealing with challenges or setbacks discussed in session creating fruitful dialogue conducive to personal growth.

Joshua White Sameer is a miracle worker. This was my first experience with Reiki Tummo healing ,and the results have been nothing short of amazing. Sameer has been my spiritual advisor for a year now , and has helped me to conquer my issues of trust and jealousy in a way that felt natural and spiritually fulfilling. Sameer has guided me down a spiritual path where all my life and relationship goals are rapidly falling in to place and coming to fruition. Every session I have had leaves me feeling mentally expanded and warmly mindful. He has help me move forward with my important relationships and my life in a way I never thought possible. I'll say it again... Sameer is a miracle worker!

Sahra Motalebi In Transformance, Sameer uses various tools to break the much sought after 5th wall - putting both the participant's physical and psychic bodies on the table. Nonchalant yet profound, his practice calls our cynicism into question, putting the fringes of so-called disrepute in proximity to spiritual experience.

Kelly Taxter My experience of the Transformance Center was an exploration of my own spiritual thresholds of belief and meaning. Sameer is an intent and receptive listener, and his openness and ability to translate were evident as he read my tarot and performed reiki tummo with crystals. We had three types of communication during my session: conscious, unconscious, and physical. My primary thoughts upon leaving were both about my mental and physical responses but also how the collaboration between he and I, the willingness to participate and focus on tour shared, extended moment, and the generative materials that came from it parallels what’s required to actively engage with contemporary art.

Rima Suqi I am not someone who believes that everybody can do energy work. Contrary to what many will have you believe, not everybody can channel to the point where you, the receiver actually feel the energy transfer and, subsequently, benefit from it. As a travel and spa writer, I've had what was called 'reiki' about ten times. But in reality I've only truly experienced real reiki twice, and one of those times -- actually the most dramatic version -- was with Sameer, experiencing reiki tummo. My 90 minutes under his energetic care was a journey of temperatures, dreams, and vibrations. It was simply incredible, and I would highly recommend him to both those seasoned in receiving this type of treatment and the newbies who are simply curious.

Corinna Springer My first experience with Reiki Tummo was when Sameer sent me Reiki Tummo while i was at the hospital, a Reiki practioner myself i hadn't experienced a distance treatment as powerful yet. When I came in for a session my expectations were high, and immediately when I entered I could pick up on the extremely high vibration in the space. When I lay down is dozed off into a nice alpha state and had a few visions that would announce changes in my life that indeed happened. I also had a few healing crisis reactions, such as a runny nose, just another sign of the fine tuning that was taking place during the session. All in all, I had a beautiful experience and with it a lasting effect.

Alanna Niemitz I went to the center for the first time on a day when I was feeling lower than low. I was confused and angry and totally thrown by a recent event in my personal life. Immediately upon entering the space I felt calmer and more relaxed. Sameer was a consummate professional, without sacrificing any warmth. I have heard some people like getting tattoos in part because it is so rare in life to have someone concentrate all of their attention on you. That’s pretty much how I felt, except instead of a tattoo I left with the tools to comfort myself and make better decisions.

Simmy Swinder The session brought me much calm, peace, and focus which I carried with me after I left. It also gave me the strength to take action over events in my life I felt were out of my control.

Sarah Stephenson My experience at Transformance went far beyond any predictable measure of remedial alleviation. I left the center, after an immersive Reiki Tummo session, not only with a sense of physical, cognitive, and emotional realignment but also a greater interest in the concept of ritual that underpins much of spiritual practice.

Elisa Carmichael I had two Reiki Tummo sessions with Sameer during my pregnancy - one in my second trimester, and one early in my third - and had a really wonderful experience both times. The first session was particularly powerful as it helped me to relax and begin to embrace my changing emotional and physical state, while during the second I could actually feel my baby responding to and participating in the treatment, a very strange and magical sensation. Both sessions had an immediate and lasting impact on me. I'm looking forward to trying the Rising Star treatment with Sameer in the future.

Seung-Min Lee Participating in Transformance allowed me a rare opportunity to explore the connection between mind and body that can become obscured by the hustle and grind of living in this city of perpetual forward motion. Sameer is part analyst, part shaman, part alchemist and 100% a healer. I had never explored or given a thought to so-called New Age therapies prior to my session, and simply the idea of crystals, tarot cards, and reiki would rouse a spate of dismissive cackles from me. Perhaps it is Sameer's metered approach of allowing the participant to judge for oneself the validity and efficacy of these healing techniques that allow even the most cynical to suspend disbelief long enough to question the rote terms under which we function, privileging mind over matter. I would posit that it may be the most effective way of coming to a state of wholeness.

Brian Leitch My experience with Sameer was something I had to take time to process-- I didn't know what to think immediately following. But some days later it became apparent why: I had to get out of my mind, literally, and engage in actively seeking out 'the doing' of what I had been presented with, realize not just with my mind but also in my body that grieving is something to engage with not 'think through', and while my own spiritual practice tells me this every day, the session and the ritual, and for me, importantly, the 'homework', was something I needed to begin to truly get out of my head.

Julia Trotta It's hard to summarize the Transformance Center because each person's experience is unique. As a client, your time with Sameer is collaborative. You decide together what your goals are for the session and set forth on a path which can include any number of healing rituals. It's a beautiful experience, and one that I would highly recommend to any over-stimulated New Yorker.

Noah Becker After the session I felt like I was relaxed but it was only later that aspects of my requested life changes began to actually happen. Not only did i see results on the first visit but I look forward to my second visit with Sameer.

Ben Sutton My healing session at the Transformance Center came after a period of prolonged stress and fatigue. I emerged from my session — which might best be described, at least in my experience, as equal parts performance, collaborative meditation, and energizing ritual — feeling simultaneously reinvigorated and relaxed. The session left me with a mix of focus and calm, and I was suddenly better able to hone in on the things that mattered most, and expend less intellectual and emotional energy on those trivial issues that monopolize so much of one's time. In addition to the direct results of the treatment, I suspect its effectiveness was also partly due to Sameer's infectious poise, concentration, and tranquility.

Nicole Eiseler I met with Sameer after experiencing the tragic loss of my father. Since I am a physician, the demands of my job were almost obstructing my ability to grieve. Our session helped me delineate anxiety based on the recent trauma from other aspects of my life. This was absolutely necessary as it assisted in helping to carve out a mental space for me to actually focus on my loss. Further, the mood and energy instantly available on entering the Transformance center had a profoundly relaxing effect. I immediately felt grounded and in a safe environment which helped many previously obscured emotions to surface. I prefer this type of multi-modality therapy as opposed to more traditional office based methods. The general experience is more pleasing and had such a great effect on my outlook that I plan to stay involved with the center on a permanent basis.

Ana Finel Honigman
My experience at the Transformance Center was a revelation that has had lasting, significant and profound influence on my life. I have always been skeptical about metaphysics. Yet, the reading that I received was shockingly relevant to my pressing concerns and circumstances. The Tarot cards instantly told a clear story of my past, present and the steps needed to better my future. I kept the lesson close and I followed the cards' guidance. I am still working and developing towards realizing the good goals presented by my reading. I feel that I now have a clear path, thanks to the cards.
The most important element in the reading was Sameer's sensitivity, humour and grace when interpreting the cards. The Transformance Center itself was a perfect bridge between my art-background and new appreciation for mystical thinking. I was relaxed and comfortable retiring my skepticism in the Transformance Center room. Sameer has balletic balance of his dark, sharp, humour and earnest empathy. I will always remember the experience and the life lessons that I learned there.

FAQ

Does one have to stop seeing a regular doctor or psychologist in order to receive a Reiki Tummo or Rising Star treatment?

No. Both energies works in conjunction with regular medical or psychological treatment, and are not intended as a substitute for licensed medical help. If you have a medical or psychological condition, it is recommended that you see a licensed health care professional first, and consult with them about the possibility of incorporating integrative modalities into your treatment plan. The Reiki Tummo and Rising Star energies operate in harmony with all other forms of healing, including medication, surgery, psychological care or any other method of alternative care, and can improve the results.

What conditions can be helped by a Transformance session?

The energy healing aspect of a session has a potentially positive affect on all forms of illness and dis-ease. This includes minor things like head or stomach aches, colds, flu, muscle tension and anxiety, as well as serious illnesses. The side effects of regular medical treatments, including chemotherapy, post operative pain and depression, have been reduced or eliminated, and a recipient’s healing rate has been accelerated.
Stress reduction and improvement in one’s physical and psychological condition are what most experience, but these treatments can also have a profound effect on long-standing emotional or spiritual conditions. In some cases, recipients have experienced complete healings which have been confirmed by medical tests before and after the treatments. While some have experienced miracles, they cannot be guaranteed. The combination of Intuitive Encounter coaching and energy work can catalyze huge positive shifts.

How is a Reiki Tummo treatment given?

Reiki Tummo energy can be transferred remotely or in-person. During a distance session, the recipient lies down with their eyes closed and body relaxed. The process operates on a quantum level and is directly and palpably felt by the recipient - it sounds hard to believe, but one experience is enough to transform your ideas about what is possible.
If done in-person, the recipient is usually laying on a massage table. The recipient remains fully clothed. The practitioner places her/his hands on or near the recipient, in a series of positions corresponding to the major chakras, for a duration depending on the state of the chakra.
The effect of the energy manifests in different ways but some typical outcomes are: sensations of warmth, electric tingling, muscular release and incredibly deep relaxation.

Is Reiki Tummo or the Rising Star system a religion?

Although Reiki Tummo and Rising Star energies are spiritual in nature, they are not a religion. Recipients of a session are not asked to change any religious or spiritual beliefs they may have. They are free to continue believing anything they choose and are encouraged to make their own decisions concerning the nature of their religious practices, or lack thereof. In fact, you don’t have to even believe in energy healing for it to work - skepticism is totally fine. All you need is to have a relatively open mind to allow the experience to unfold.

Is there something to be scared of or uncomfortable about with regard to a session?

Your comfort level is my priority, and sessions are designed to facilitate states that most people would describe as pleasurable and relaxing. If you have any questions, I encourage you to ask.

Is there a limit to how many sessions I can book?

No. If you are interested in creating long-lasting change then it’s likely that you’ll be drawn to experience multiple sessions. As with psychotherapy, change takes time - although with Transformance, the rate of change is usually dramatically faster.

Each session is uniquely tailored to what you need in the moment. I combine intuitive coaching, action steps, and energy healing with tools such as crystals and the Tarot, to move you farther along each time we work together. If you stick with the process, you will experience significant change.

Why Work With Me

My goal is to offer you a holistic experience that heals and empowers your body, mind and heart, clearing a faster and more fulfilling path to the change you are seeking. As you invite in more abundance, create harmonious relationships and release old wounds, you will feel supported in a profound way, and if you stay with the process, you will fulfill your deepest dreams.I created the Transformance system to provide the support to others that I was looking for in my own journey. My experience of psychotherapy always felt too analytical – it never really addressed the emotional and physical aspects of my challenges, or gave me concrete tools to change my situation. With Transformance, all of you is included in the experience and you are given everything you need to manifest your potential.

Opening up to someone about your dreams and difficulties is an intimate experience – it’s essential that you feel safe, relaxed and respected. I see my role as that of a guide, sharing my insight and tools while honoring your experience. I’m an empath which means that I journey with you instead of remaining aloof. Having company along the way makes it easier to move through any challenges that arise.

If you have a good feeling about working with me but you have some questions or would like to see how we connect, I offer a complimentary 15-minute phone consultation. Just email me here and we’ll find a time to speak. By the end of the free consultation, you’ll know if you’d like to schedule a session. And if you live outside of Los Angeles, don’t worry! Almost half of my clients are remote, based all around the world – distance sessions are just as profoundly effective. If you can trust your intuition and remain open, the experience will bring you what you need.
