About Flavia

Walking the Path of the Soul, Embodied Healing & Devotion

Welcome

My name is Flavia Ghidossi, and my life’s work is to guide people back into connection — with themselves, with the Earth, and with Spirit. I offer spaces where you can remember who you are at your essence and feel supported as you step into your soul’s purpose.

My journey has taken me through years of study and practice in Yoga, Shamanism, Reiki, and plant spirit work, as well as deep training with many dedicated teachers around the world. These practices form the foundation of everything I share, whether in a one-to-one session, a group ceremony, mentorships or my year-long containers.

At the heart of my work are my values: living with devotion, integrating & embodying all experiences, cultivating self-awareness, embracing rest, and honoring the deep connection between all beings. I believe healing is not only about personal transformation, but also about nurturing harmony within the wider web of life.

Through ceremony, movement, sound, and stillness, I support you in exploring your energy, connecting with your own wisdom, and building a sense of safety and belonging.

My work is rooted in the deep connection between yoga, shamanism, Reiki, and the cyclical wisdom of nature. Over the years, I have dedicated myself to teaching, guiding, and creating spaces for transformation — through Yoga Nidra, Yin, Reiki trainings, cacao ceremonies, retreats, and mentorships.

I continue to learn and grow through advanced studies in Yoga and Buddhism, Shamanic Reiki, plant spirit medicine, and sound. My path has been shaped by teachers and traditions from around the world, weaving together ancient wisdom and contemporary practice.

Beyond my work

Outside of ceremonies and teachings, I love being active in nature — hiking, bouldering, or discovering new landscapes & cultures when I travel. Creativity runs through everything I do, whether it’s singing and playing guitar, drawing, knitting, or crafting handcrafted tinctures and herbal remedies. At home, I enjoy cooking, reading, and being with my fiancé, family, and friends — and of course my three kittens, who make sure there’s always a bit of playful chaos around.

“When Flavia enters the room, you can feel her positive energy. She is a wonderful and admirable teacher, because her empathetic, gentle, and friendly manner makes you feel very safe and supported in her classes. I could listen to her for hours, whether she is talking about philosophical topics or mythology or singing mantras with her wonderful voice.”

– Anna, Yoga Student 2023

“Flavia has an extraordinary ability to convey philosophical content in an understandable way with humor, heart, and personality, without losing sight of the seriousness of the subject. She creates a clearly structured space in which I feel seen and supported. Her knowledge of shamanism, ceremonies, and her love of singing and music inspire me and make her lessons a unique experience.”

– Beatrice, Yoga & Reiki student since 2018

Flavia brought such profound depth and knowledge to everything she taught. Her immense love for this material and for her students comes through so powerfully. Her love, her compassion, her acceptance made her a living embodiment of the material she brought forth with such beauty and grace. Her songs, her music and her sacred energy are a blessing for anyone who has the privilege of being in her presence. 🙏 I am so grateful to have had her as my teacher! Thank you, beautiful soul!!!!

– Dina, 200H YTT 2023

“The year-long training with Flavia can hardly be described in words. The knowledge Flavia shares, the wisdom she imparts, and the way she teaches is truly unique. I was able to experience Reiki in a completely different and wonderful way, for which I am incredibly grateful. The group weekends are profound, and the open exchange helps to better categorize, understand, and ultimately apply what we have experienced. Likewise, immersing yourself in shamanic practices in combination with Reiki is incredibly exciting and very healing. Thank you, Flavia, for holding the space and for your courage in opening such wonderful spaces.”

– Devi, Ayni Medicine Wheel 2025/6

“Since the training, I have a much deeper connection to my body and soul. I live much more authentically and communicate more openly. I can now let my emotions flow freely, whether sadness or happiness, etc. It's simply so beautiful what has happened to and within me. Flavia is incredibly open and very responsive to the needs of her participants. There is no wrong or incorrect. Everything has its place. Everyone can be who they are or who they want to be. I really enjoy listening to Flavia's stories. You can really feel that what she's saying is very well-founded and, above all, is lived. She lives what she says, and it resonates. Yes, it goes straight to the heart, and these words stay with you for a lifetime. I will always remember the quotes and stories; they touched me deeply. To such a level that my entire system understood how essential the words just spoken are.”

– Stephan, Shamanic Reiki Intensive 2024/5

“I really like the training! It's perfectly structured, versatile, and very effective. The fact that it's spread over a whole year leaves room for personal practical application, and I'm convinced that this training will have a lasting impact. In addition to the power of Reiki energy, I'm particularly inspired by the shamanic journeys, which open the boundaries of space and time for me. A heartfelt thank you to the wonderful Flavia. Shamanic Reiki is her absolute passion. This is evident not only in the unique handouts, but also in the superbly structured training and Flavia's vast knowledge. She guides us through this magical training with heart, joy, and depth.”

– Participant 2025/6

“Dear Flavia, your teachings are profound and authentic. I am impressed by your knowledge and your ability to hold the space. Above all, I am impressed by your authenticity and how you embody your knowledge as lived wisdom. You can feel that you are following your heart's path—your "path of heart"—and that is incredibly inspiring!”

 – Yoko Lüthi, Ayni Medicine Wheel 2025/6

“Our paths crossed so beautifully, and I have been able to learn so much from you. I have great faith in this heartfelt path of Shamanic Reiki. And you demonstrate it to me so easily, wisely, deeply, and naturally. So much clarity, a coherent structure, and a good sense of what is needed and when. A true master of teaching. And yet, it doesn't feel like a lesson to me, because you aren't re-teaching Shamanic Reiki; it's your life, and we are witnesses to your connection with life-force energy: Reiki.”

– Jara, Shamanic Reiki Intensive 2024/5
