Hello! I’m Sophie Lizeray, Shamanic Energy Therapist, Yoga and Meditation Teacher, Reiki Master and Community Herbalist. Welcome!

And who am I?

I help you re-connect deeply to yourself by cultivating the inner garden of your soul.

I am a yogini, dancer, author-illustrator, landscape architect, Reiki Master / Teacher and Shamanic practitioner, community herbalist, woman and mother.

My practice and teachings are the fruit of my 25+ years of the movement and healing arts path, and are also constantly evolving, just like life itself! Every day is a new alchemy.

What is in my multi-dimensional cauldron of healing modalities? There is a mix of practices: yoga, meditation, shamanic divination, power recovery, energy cleansing, spell untangling, Reiki, oracles, herbalism… Stirring up light!

My path as an energy therapist and holistic wellness specialist

On my path, I have met many sparkly nuggets. I was initiated in Meditation at age 8, then met Martial Arts (I am a Taekwondo Black Belt), Dance (contemporary and flamenco), Yoga, Reiki, Shamanism, Herbalism, and all the wonderful friends and beings that come with them.

For many years, I dedicated my life to tending gardens, green spaces and historic heritage as a landscape architect. Now, I help people cultivate the inner garden of their souls. I also formulate healing, uplifting and dreamy herbal teas.

What’s in my multi-dimensional cauldron?

There are many magical practices in my cauldron: yoga, meditation, shamanic divination, power retrieval, energy clearing, curse unraveling, Reiki, oracles, healing herbs… Stirring up light and love!

I travel, live, write, draw, offer shamanic healings and teach yoga and Reiki in Asia, Europe and North America. I blend dance, yoga, meditation, pranayama, chanting / music, shamanic ceremony and energy balancing work into profoundly nourishing and down-to-earth classes.

I teach a blend of precise physical alignments, invitations to personal exploration and energetic woo-woo. My classes are fun, informative and non-competitive, and I share my experience with generosity, curiosity and playfulness.

As a student forever, I continue to train with teachers and masters in Asia, Europe and California. I also learn constantly from my students and clients who remind me every day of yoga and healing energy work’s beauty and transformative power.

I donate part of my profits to local and international charities that support women (teenage pregnancy and incarcerated women), animal well-being, heritage conservation and plant diversity.
