About me

Sexuality & Intimacy Mentor | Energy Worker | Guide
Calderdale, Manchester & Online 

www.riahope.co.uk

Hi there, my name is Ria Hope and I've been working in the field of sexuality for seven years, with two of those years focused the use of energy work and reiki to support people with their relationship to self, other and earth.

I work with human beings of all kinds, but especially those who are seeking for a deeper connection to life, who want to experience the fullness that this life has to offer.

My approach is multi-modal, using embodiment, energy work, guided journeys, holistic mentoring and movement practices to bring you into right relationship with yourself and those around you - moving beyond limitations, integrating your experiences and learning how to express your truth.

I have been practising yoga and meditation for 10 years and eastern philosophies have deeply shaped my work and my views. However, as I reconnect with the rich and mystical history of the land here in Britain, I am tuning back into the ancient belief systems that shaped these isles - and guiding people to turn to nature in these turbulent times, for support, for connection, for a sense of homecoming.

Reiki & Energy Healing 

There is a very special place in my heart for energy work. I have found it to be a non-invasive, gentle and deeply profound healing experience that works with the body's natural desire to re-centre and re-align itself. 

In these sessions I use reiki, holistic mentoring, meditation, sound, breathing techniques and light touch to promote full body healing within your system. 

Sessions are done mostly lying on your front or back but can be done in any position that is comfortable to you.

I specialise in working with issues around sexuality, sexual health, relationships and embodiment - but I am open to clients struggling with any disconnection or pain in their life.

--

I support people from all walks of life and I am deeply dedicated to decolonising my practice. I am a queer practitioner and warmly invite LGBTQ+ humans to work with me.
