Reiki Level 1 Mentorship
An intimate three-month journey into the healing art of Reiki.
An invitation to reconnect with your own healing abilities, awaken your intuition and develop a meaningful, lifelong relationship with Reiki.
Through personalised guidance, monthly live gatherings, self-healing practices and a sacred Reiki attunement, you'll be supported as you begin your journey with this beautiful healing modality.
Whether you're beginning Reiki for your own personal healing or feel called to eventually share it with others, this mentorship offers a nurturing and supportive foundation.
From Sophia
A more personal way to learn Reiki
I believe Reiki is something we come to know through experience, practice and connection, rather than simply through information.
This is why I've created this mentorship as a spacious, intimate journey, giving you the opportunity to explore Reiki at your own pace while being personally supported along the way.
Rather than moving through a large online training, we'll gather together each month to explore the teachings, share our experiences and deepen your confidence in working with Reiki.
With just one to three women in each mentorship, there is room for your individual questions, experiences and intuitive development to be honoured.
Between our gatherings, you'll have time to work with the self-healing modules, practise what you've learnt and allow Reiki to become a natural part of your everyday life.
What is Reiki, and why Level 1?
Reiki is a gentle yet powerful energy healing practice that works with universal life force energy, the energy that flows through all living beings. When our energy flows freely, we often feel clearer, calmer and more connected. When we are stressed, grieving or carrying emotional heaviness, it can feel stagnant, depleted or blocked. Reiki supports the natural flow of energy through the body, bringing balance to the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual layers of self. At its heart, Reiki is a practice of coming back into harmony.
Reiki Level 1 is the foundation of the path. It is focused on self-healing, self-awareness and learning to work with Reiki energy in a safe, grounded and respectful way. You will learn to offer Reiki to yourself, and be introduced to practising with loved ones, plants and animals. It is a beautiful starting point if you feel called to support your own healing, deepen your intuition and begin exploring your natural gifts.
Reiki, a practice of coming home to yourself
The mentorship
How the mentorship unfolds
Three months
A three-month mentorship journey
The mentorship unfolds over three months, giving you time to learn, practise, integrate and develop your relationship with Reiki.
Three gatherings
Monthly live Zoom gatherings
We meet live on Zoom once a month, three times in total. Each gathering brings together Reiki teachings, practical guidance, discussion, questions, reflection and integration, shaped around your own needs and experiences.
One to three women
An intimate learning environment
This is intentionally a small and personal way to learn, with space for your individual questions, experiences and intuitive development.
Two ways to learn
Both offer a supportive space to ask questions, explore your experiences and receive personalised guidance, with the same teachings, materials, attunement and investment.
1:1 mentorship
Individual training directly with Sophia. Every gathering is held for you alone and shaped entirely around your journey.
Small-group mentorship
An intimate group of just two to three women, learning alongside one another and sharing the experience of beginning Reiki together.
Your three-month journey
Each month opens with a live gathering, then gives you time to practise and integrate before we meet again.
Month One
Foundations and Self-Healing
Begin with the foundations of Reiki: what it is, how it works, the Reiki principles and the history of the practice. You start building your own self-healing practice and learn to create a sacred space for healing. This month is about grounding, opening and beginning to trust yourself.
Month Two
Energy Body, Intuition and Inner Healing
Deepen into the energy body: the chakras, energetic protection, grounding, emotional healing, inner child work and shadow work. You begin to understand how energy moves through you, how to recognise blocks or depletion, and how Reiki supports deeper transformation. This month is about self-awareness, compassion and energetic empowerment.
Month Three
Integration, Attunement and Embodiment
Prepare to receive your Reiki Level 1 attunement and integrate Reiki as a daily practice. You learn to practise safely, open and close a session, support loved ones, plants and animals, and honour the ethics of energy healing. This month is about embodiment, trust and stepping into your role as your own healer.
What you will learn
A thorough grounding in the theory, practice and embodiment of Reiki Level 1.
The six self-healing modules
Your practice between gatherings
Alongside the monthly gatherings, you receive Sophia's six self-healing modules, designed to help you establish and deepen your personal Reiki practice between our time together.
Self-Love and Self-Care as a Spiritual Practice
Cultivate self-love, nourishment, softness and self-acceptance as part of your spiritual path, shifting self-care from something you occasionally do into a nourishing practice of honouring your body, energy and emotional needs.
Grounded Roots and Safety in the Body
Grounding practices that help you feel safer, calmer and more present, supporting nervous system regulation, energetic stability and your ability to feel held within yourself.
Inner Child Healing with Reiki
Meet younger parts of yourself with tenderness, listen to what they need, and begin offering yourself the love, reassurance and safety you may have been seeking outside of yourself.
Shadow Work
Explore the hidden or rejected parts of yourself with compassion, bringing unconscious patterns into the light, releasing shame and integrating what you were taught to hide or suppress.
Sacred Ritual and Ceremony
Create simple, meaningful rituals that deepen your connection to self, spirit and Reiki, bringing intention, beauty and reverence into everyday life.
Reiki as a Tool for Transformation
Discover how Reiki can become a lifelong practice for emotional, spiritual and energetic wellbeing, woven into your daily rhythm, relationships, home and decisions.
Ceremony
Your sacred Reiki Level 1 attunement
At the completion of your three-month mentorship, you receive your Reiki Level 1 attunement: an energetic transmission that connects you to Reiki energy and opens your ability to channel it for self-healing and practice.
Both pathways are part of the mentorship, so you can choose the one that best suits your circumstances. Whether in person or via distance, your attunement marks a powerful initiation into your Reiki journey.
Auckland, New Zealand
In-person attunement
A sacred, in-person ceremony held by Sophia in Auckland.
Anywhere in the world
Distance attunement
A distance attunement ceremony held personally by Sophia, so you can complete the mentorship without travelling to Auckland. You will be guided on how to prepare your space, set your intention and receive in a calm, grounded way.

Who is this mentorship for?
This journey is for women who:
- Feel drawn to energy healing and want to explore Reiki for the first time
- Wish to deepen their connection with themselves and their intuition
- Are seeking a gentle, supportive practice for personal wellbeing and self-discovery
- Want to learn how to offer Reiki to family, friends or others
- Prefer personalised learning rather than a large online course
- Are based anywhere in the world and want the flexibility of online learning with a distance attunement
A daily practice you can return to, again and again
What you may experience
As you move through the mentorship, you may feel more connected to your intuition, more aware of your energy and more grounded in your body. You may notice emotional releases, vivid dreams, shifts in your relationships, a stronger sense of inner knowing, or a desire to create more space and alignment in your life.
You may also feel called to rest more, spend time in nature, journal, create rituals or listen more deeply to what your body and spirit are communicating. Reiki often works gently, but deeply. The transformation may be subtle at first, then become more obvious as you continue practising and integrating the work.
Meet your mentor
Guided by Sophia
Sophia is a Reiki Master Teacher, qualified holistic life coach, shamanic healer, womb awakening facilitator, yoga teacher and NLP practitioner. She is also currently undertaking psychology training. For the past seven years she has immersed herself in healing modalities, spiritual practice and transformational work, weaving together ancient teachings, Eastern and Western healing traditions, intuitive guidance and grounded tools for self-awareness.

Certification
On completion of the mentorship, self-healing modules and attunement, you receive your Reiki Level 1 certification. Level 1 is primarily a self-healing certification: it allows you to practise Reiki on yourself and begin sharing it with loved ones, friends, family, plants and animals in a gentle, non-professional capacity. If you feel called to practise professionally in the future, Reiki Level 2 is the next step on the pathway.

Frequently asked questions
An invitation
If you feel the pull towards Reiki, trust that inner knowing. This path often begins as a quiet feeling: a curiosity, a longing, a sense that there is something deeper within you ready to awaken.
This mentorship is an invitation to return to yourself. To understand your energy, strengthen your intuition, create a grounded self-healing practice, and feel more grounded, empowered and connected. To remember that healing is not something outside of you. It is something you can learn to access, honour and embody. When you are ready, you are invited to begin.

A note on this work
Reiki is a complementary spiritual wellbeing practice. It is not a replacement for medical care, psychological support, diagnosis or treatment. Although Sophia is currently undertaking psychology training, this mentorship is not a psychological service, counselling service or mental health treatment. It is designed to support your energetic, emotional and spiritual wellbeing, and to help you reconnect with your own inner wisdom, self-healing capacity and intuitive gifts.
