Level II · The Whole Womban Healing Academy
Whole Womban
Healing Practitioner
A six-month practitioner journey into the art, responsibility and sacred practice of holding another woman.
Level II is where Whole Womban Healing moves beyond the self.
Level I, The Return, is the prerequisite for this training. Every practitioner begins there.
Over six months, you will learn how to hold women through an integrated approach to healing that honours the physical, emotional, energetic and spiritual dimensions of their experience. You will develop the knowledge, presence, discernment and intuition to meet the woman in front of you, and the practical skill to work with her safely.
You will study the female body, the nervous system, emotional holding, energy work, sacred practice, intuitive development, practitioner ethics and the Whole Womban Healing Method. The journey culminates in an intimate one-night luxury practitioner retreat in Muriwai, where you receive your Level II sacred attunement and practitioner symbol, and complete your initiation into the modality.
Practitioner certification is earned, through study, practice, reflection and demonstrated competency.
The shift
From healing yourself to holding another.
Level I begins with the woman herself. Level II asks something different.
- How do you meet another woman without trying to fix her?
- How do you listen deeply without projecting your own story?
- How do you work intuitively while remaining grounded?
- How do you create a space where the physical body, emotional world, nervous system, energetic field and spiritual experience can all be welcomed?
This is a training in both skill and presence. A healing session is shaped as much by who the practitioner is while she holds the space as by the techniques she has learned.
The journey
Six months, six movements

Month Four
The Energetic Womban
Sacred Womb Energy, Channelled Healing & the Unseen Body
This month introduces the energetic foundations of Whole Womban Healing, a modality Sophia has developed and channelled through years of practice, study, intuitive work and direct healing with women. You will begin learning to work with Sacred Womb Energy, a living healing current that draws on universal energy and the elemental forces of Earth, Water, Fire, Air and Spirit, becoming a clear and grounded channel for it rather than directing it.
The deeper practiceYou are learning how to become a practitioner whose body, intuition and energetic field can listen, so that a woman's own body, womb and energy can respond.
- The energetic anatomy of the feminine body
- The womb as an energetic centre and field
- Sacred Womb Energy and universal life-force energy
- The energetic qualities of Earth, Water, Fire, Air and Spirit
- Learning to channel rather than direct energy
- Intuitive sensing through the hands and body
- Hands-on and hands-off energetic healing
- Energetic clearing, release and distance womb healing
- Sound, voice and breath as energetic healing tools
- Opening, closing and sealing sacred space
- Practitioner preparation, clearing and grounding
- Working with sacred symbols and receiving intuitive information
- Discernment: intuition versus projection
Month Five
The Spiritual Womban
Lineage, Land & Sacred Practice
The deeper spiritual dimension of the modality.
How we hold itA Whole Womban practitioner learns to work with spiritual experience without imposing her own cosmology onto a client.
- Ancestral connection and maternal lineage
- Shamanic journeying
- Land and elemental consciousness
- Sacred feminine wisdom and Sophia consciousness
- Dragon energies, fae and nature intelligences
- Spiritual allies
- Ritual, prayer and ceremony
- Intuitive messages and symbolic language

Month Six
The Whole Womban Healing Method
Integration, Practice & Embodiment
The final month brings everything together. Practitioners learn how to hold an entire Whole Womban Healing session.
IntegrationEverything you have learned, gathered into one held session.
Practice & supervision
You do not become a practitioner by watching videos
- Supervised practice
- Healing exchanges
- Case studies and client sessions
- Reflective journalling
- Practitioner feedback
- Group supervision
- Live teaching and question-and-answer sessions
- Observed or submitted practice
- A final practitioner assessment
Certification is not based purely on attendance. Women completing Level II are expected to show they can hold Whole Womban Healing with care, integrity and competency.
The professional foundation
From personal practice to professional practice
Becoming a practitioner asks for more than learning a collection of techniques. You need to understand the body you are working with. You need to recognise the limits of your practice. You need to know how to gain consent, recognise contraindications, maintain boundaries, protect confidentiality and refer a woman to another professional when something sits outside your scope.
Alongside this professional foundation, you will learn to trust the quieter aspects of this work: your hands, your intuition, your ability to listen and your capacity to work with Sacred Womb Energy.
- Knowledge
- Practice
- Intuition
- Ethics
- Experience
Certification
What is required to become certified
Completion of the six-month training alone does not automatically grant practitioner certification. To receive the designation Certified Whole Womban Healing Practitioner, students must successfully complete the Academy's practitioner certification requirements.
These requirements ensure that every woman carrying the Whole Womban Healing name into her own practice has demonstrated an appropriate level of knowledge, practical competency, professional responsibility and understanding of the modality.
Certification
Certified Whole Womban Healing Practitioner
Students who successfully complete the theoretical training, practical requirements, case experience, practitioner assessment and ethical requirements will be awarded:
CertifiedWhole Womban HealingPractitioner
Awarded by
Whole Womban Healing Academy
Having successfully completed the required theoretical study, practical training, documented practice and competency assessment of the Whole Womban Healing Practitioner Training.
Certification gives graduates permission to identify themselves professionally as a Certified Whole Womban Healing Practitioner, subject to the Academy's practitioner terms and Code of Ethics.
What it means
What certification asks of you
Certification means you have demonstrated that you can hold the foundations of this work with care, discernment and professional responsibility. You leave understanding both the possibilities and the boundaries of your practice, and you learn to recognise:
- When to trust yourself.
- When to ask more questions.
- When to slow down.
- When consent needs to be revisited.
- When something is outside your scope.
- When another professional needs to become part of a woman's care.
A practitioner is someone who can hold this work responsibly, with honesty about the edges of her own scope.

Guest faculty
Specialist teaching, woven together by Sophia
Whole Womban Healing brings together worlds that are too often taught separately. Sophia holds the philosophy and methodology of the training, while carefully selected guest teachers bring depth to specialist areas. The programme stays deeply spiritual and intuitive while remaining grounded in thoughtful, responsible education.
The Practitioner Initiation Retreat
One night in Muriwai
After six months of learning, practising, questioning, stretching and becoming, we leave the online space and gather in person. For one night, the cohort comes together in Muriwai for an intimate luxury practitioner retreat. This is where everything begins to land in the body: a pause between learning the work and carrying it into the world.
Hands-on training
Where the work moves into your hands
The retreat brings the online learning into physical practice. You will work with the other women in the training, giving and receiving the different elements of Whole Womban Healing under Sophia's guidance.
Together we will practise consultation, preparing and holding the space, hands-on bodywork, Sacred Womb Energy, intuitive work, sound, breath, integration and the flow of a complete session.
You will experience the work from both sides, as practitioner and as receiver, with guidance, feedback and time to refine how you work.
- Arrival and grounding
- Cacao and ceremonial opening
- Practitioner reflection
- Advanced healing exchanges
- Practical sessions and group energy work
- Land connection, breath and sound
- Sacred ritual and working with the Level II symbol
- The practitioner attunement and covenant
- Shared meals and integration
- The certification ceremony
The retreat culminates in the sacred Whole Womban Practitioner Attunement and certification ceremony.
The Level II attunement
The Devotion
I SERVE
- I meet rather than fix.
- I listen rather than assume.
- I honour the sovereignty of every woman before me.
During the Muriwai retreat, Sophia will transmit the Level II Whole Womban Practitioner Attunement through a sacred ceremonial process. You will also receive the Level II practitioner symbol and teachings for how it is used within the modality. The symbol itself is never displayed publicly.
The initiation is a commitment to service, integrity, continued learning and the sacred responsibility of holding another woman.

About Sophia
This work has been lived before it was taught
Whole Womban Healing did not begin as a course Sophia decided to create. It grew from her own life. She has walked the womb healing path for years, first through her own experiences and later through holding hundreds of one-to-one sessions with women.
Her relationship with her womb has not always been simple.
- At 15, she experienced an abortion.
- At 20, she underwent treatment for cervical cancer, including a LLETZ loop procedure.
- Across different chapters of her life, she also navigated hormonal and menstrual challenges, pelvic pain, recurrent urinary tract infections, recurrent thrush and pain during sex.
These experiences became part of a much longer journey of learning how to listen to her body rather than disconnect from it. Through years of personal healing, professional support, study, embodiment, spiritual practice and building a different relationship with her own body, Sophia's experience today is profoundly different from where it began. She now lives without many of the symptoms and challenges that once shaped her relationship with her womb and body.
This is not shared as a promise that another woman's body will follow the same path. It is shared because Whole Womban Healing has been shaped by a woman who knows intimately what it means to feel disconnected from her womb, and what it can mean to slowly find a way home.
Training & experience
Shaped by study, and equally by experience
Sophia's work has been informed by years of learning across complementary, embodied and spiritual practices. Her training and studies include work through the Institute of Feminine Arts, including an extended womb awakening training, as well as training through Body Lane, alongside energy healing, breathwork, coaching, nervous system work, shamanic practice, ritual, intuitive development and psychology studies.
Whole Womban Healing has been shaped as much by experience as by study.
- By sitting with hundreds of women.
- By hearing their stories.
- By witnessing grief, motherhood, transition, disconnection, longing, pain, awakening and remembrance.
- By continuing to walk her own healing path alongside the women she supports.

Carry the work
This work was never intended to remain with one woman. Whole Womban Healing Practitioner is for women who feel called to carry it beyond themselves. Into healing rooms. Into homes. Into circles. Into communities. One woman sitting beside another with presence, knowledge, intuition and care.
The work begins with you. Then it moves through you.
