Sophia Khotil

Ceremonialist and Reiki Healer

Sophia grew up in sunny Southern California, frequenting the beaches and hiking in the golden hills before making the big move to North Carolina, where she now calls Durham her home with her husband of 15 years and their three young children.

Her hobbies include working with ceramics—where the shaping of clay with one’s own hands is profoundly grounding—concocting new soap recipes, cooking, hiking, and taking road trips.

Having an affinity for the natural world and its healing benefits and mysteries, Sophia pursued her master training in energy work in Costa Mesa under the tutelage of Ariel Hubbard, and ceremonial work with The Fellowship of the Illumination. She then taught Reiki Levels One and Two and has attuned many students into the modality.

Sophia went on to receive her license in massage and bodywork. Most of her life has been immersed in sacred rituals, from intimate gatherings to large collaborative events, holding sacred space for those who need it. From tea ceremonies to women’s circles, Sophia enjoys sharing her constantly evolving path with others.
