My name is Sophie, I am a yoga instructor and reiki practitioner at the salt cave! For me, a perfect day would include soaking up some sunshine, moving my body, nourishing myself with delicious food, and honouring my body and mind with rest. 

 

At the age of 16 I was diagnosed with scoliosis, and prescribed a life of yoga and regular massage therapy. Not knowing of any yoga studios, I purchased my first yoga DVD that I followed at home

(I actually think I still have it!). 

 

A few years later I moved to University and craved an activity that wasn’t reading, studying, or researching in the library. I found a yoga studio close to the University and began attending multiple times per week. This is when I fell in love with the practice. 

 

Through guiding yoga, I always got a feeling that “my touch” had a healing power to it. That I could place my hands on a students body and instantly feel them relax and let go. In 2018 I decided that I wanted to understand more about this energy that was flowing through me, so I signed up for my Reiki certification. I love the magic and mystery that comes with healing people energetically.

 

A 60 minute Reiki session with me feels like an escape to the spa. I spend time energetically cleansing the healing space, and calling upon my reiki guides to fill the room with positive healing energy. You can expect to enter a lightly lit room, with candles, incense and sage. You will make yourself comfortable on the massage table and use the blankets to snuggle up and get cozy. A brief conversation between us will allow me to understand what needs my attention, whether this is drawing something away from your body, or guiding something in.

 

Our session together can include a no-touch method, or light touch with my hands on various parts of your body. Our time together will conclude with another discussion about anything that you may have felt during the session, or any messages that I need to pass on.

 

I look forward to meeting you, and guiding you through a yoga practice or healing session.
