ABOUT

Hi, + welcome to SOL!

I’m Poppy Sophia Ridley, an energy medicine therapist, healer, mystic + teacher of the subtle, healing arts.

Originally from London, I currently live on the lands of the Wurrundjeri people of Melbourne, Australia where I offer sessions, mentorship + energy medicine trainings.

My journey with energy healing begun in London in 2013, where I first attended a Reiki level 1 training which totally changed my life + the path I was headed down.

A fire was lit in my belly + I begun to practice daily, offering my services to anyone who might be open to receiving it. I grew to have a deep love + respect for the energy, + felt a overwhelmingly call to share it with those who were open to transforming their lives. Reiki guided me towards people + experiences who would change my life forever, + in my sessions I was blessed to witness healing from physical pain, the removal of entities (some which had been living in my clients for years) fertility + pregnancy magic ( so many Reiki babies!) + most of all, the birth of other incredible healers who had also been touched deeply by the power of Reiki.

I opened up my first little clinic in a spare room of my house, + welcomed in people from all walks of life.

Eventually I started teaching, weaving in ceremonial work with the workshops which would sell out as soon as they were open.

Reiki was the driving force behind many community-based events, workshops + trainings. My 1:1 sessions became known around the country + people would fly from all over to experience the magic of Reiki.

For me, Reiki was a gateway into a whole new way of living, yet I couldn’t help but feel that there was something missing…

Enter Seichim.

Seichim anchored into my world in early 2019, right before covid hit. The teachings unlocked a whole new level of healing within me, + before I knew it I had been guided back to Glastonbury in the UK to connect to the teachings of the land there.

Here I experienced a life-changing initiation to the sacred waters + I spent covid pilgrimaging all over the UK to visit sacred wells + Holy places. The water changed me, the land midwifed me, + SCHOOL OF LIGHT was born.

Now, I find myself back in Melbourne, working mostly online guiding people to meet parts of themselves through the magic of energy medicine.

The past 15 years have been a whirlwind of death + rebirth, where I have had the priviledge to dedicate myself almost fully to my craft.

It is my joy to facilitate retreats, training programs, mentoring, and coaching for those who are making radical transformation in their lives.

My work is not for the faint hearted - it is for those who believe in the power of Creation, who wish to birth new timelines here on earth.

Thank you for being here.

Love,

Poppy Sophia
