A New Chapter Begins: Welcoming Our First Intuitive Reiki Licensee – Sarah Doig
The beginning of a brand-new chapter for Intuitive Reiki International®. For years, I’ve carried a vision of expanding Reiki in a way that is heart-led, intuitive, and deeply aligned with Spirit. Today, that vision becomes reality as I welcome our very first licensee: Sarah Doig.
Sarah’s journey is one of healing, courage, and stepping into a bigger purpose. From her personal transformation as a mother to becoming a Reiki Master, she now steps into her role as the first Licensed Intuitive Reiki Teacher in Dunsborough.
In this inspiring conversation, you’ll hear:
- How Reiki helped Sarah reconnect with herself and transform her life

00:00:00.100 --> 00:00:02.959
Welcome back to Connecting to Spirit Podcast.
00:00:02.959 --> 00:00:10.849
Today I get to share something that has been years in the making a true milestone for Intuitive Reiki International.
00:00:11.150 --> 00:00:20.690
For the very first time, I am officially introducing you to one of our own who is stepping into a brand new role.
00:00:20.989 --> 00:00:25.039
Sarah Doig, a beautiful healer from Dunsborough, is now a very.
00:00:25.164 --> 00:00:27.355
First intuitive Reiki licensee.
00:00:27.835 --> 00:00:37.884
This is such a special moment, not just for me personally, but for all of us who believe in the ripple effect of reiki and intuitive healing.
00:00:38.155 --> 00:00:41.424
Sarah's journey has been deeply transformative.
00:00:41.979 --> 00:00:47.170
She's bringing that same heart wisdom and dedication to her local community.
00:00:47.679 --> 00:00:51.130
In this episode, you'll hear Sarah share her personal story.
00:00:51.310 --> 00:00:59.890
You'll find out what drew her to reiki and why she felt called to step into this role as an intuitive Reiki licensee.
00:01:00.189 --> 00:01:07.299
My hope is that as you listen, you'll feel the same inspiration and sense of that possibility that I do.
00:01:07.629 --> 00:01:12.310
Because this is just the beginning of something much, much bigger.
00:01:12.670 --> 00:01:18.189
So let's dive in and welcome Sarah into this new and exciting chapter.
00:01:18.480 --> 00:01:33.421
I am your host, Lisa Brandis, and I'm here to help you unlock your intuition channel with clarity and deep dive into self-discovery, all while navigating the ups and downs of personal and spiritual growth.
00:01:34.320 --> 00:01:45.540
If you're ready to say goodbye to self-doubt, embrace your unique gifts and connect with a supportive community on the same journey, then you're in the right place.
00:01:45.811 --> 00:01:55.891
Whether you're just starting out or you've been walking this path for years, this podcast is here to guide you, support you, and inspire you every step of the way.
00:01:56.100 --> 00:02:02.100
So grab a cozy spot, settle in, and let's dive into some empowering insights together.
00:02:02.481 --> 00:02:03.831
Hi, Sarah.
00:02:03.831 --> 00:02:19.521
I just wanted to say a huge, big congratulations and I want to start by announcing the beautiful Sarah Doig, who is the very first intuitive Reiki international licensee.
00:02:19.526 --> 00:02:19.747
Yay.
00:02:20.727 --> 00:02:20.947
Yay.
00:02:21.317 --> 00:02:21.826
Thank you.
00:02:22.056 --> 00:02:23.831
It is such a huge milestone.
00:02:23.831 --> 00:02:27.461
I've been planning and preparing and dreaming about this.
00:02:27.556 --> 00:02:31.546
For so many years and we are here.
00:02:31.546 --> 00:02:32.477
I can't believe it.
00:02:32.477 --> 00:02:42.026
So I just wanted to introduce you to, my big community of beautiful healers and, share a little bit about your story and your journey.
00:02:42.026 --> 00:02:50.257
So what inspired you firstly, to become a Reiki Master and to then take this next step into becoming a licensee.
00:02:51.991 --> 00:02:55.051
Well, it all comes back to well saying thank you, Lisa.
00:02:55.051 --> 00:03:11.181
And again, it's such a privilege to be, welcomed into the Intuitive Reiki International because it's very deep and personal to myself and I will get to that I think when I, begin to share that.
00:03:11.722 --> 00:03:24.592
This really began with my personal, healing it gave me a way to reconnect with myself and to find balance between so many different realms and so many places here on earth.
00:03:24.592 --> 00:03:28.491
Whether it's me as a person, me as a mum, me as a mother, and
00:03:28.491 --> 00:03:31.546
yeah, I was just going to say, there's so many different hats that we wear, isn't it?
00:03:31.891 --> 00:03:33.092
Yeah.
00:03:33.092 --> 00:03:34.532
And the deeper layers.
00:03:34.532 --> 00:03:37.201
And then within those layers, there's so many other things.
00:03:37.201 --> 00:03:49.741
But I guess from there, it's just a never ending, expanding field that takes you to places that isn't the places where you've been before.
00:03:49.801 --> 00:03:57.451
And that's the most powerful, magical place of reiki that's just unexplainable.
00:03:57.451 --> 00:04:12.537
And it's, it's honestly a frequency felt and, um over time, I've witnessed some profound shifts just in myself and in others, we all have an opportunity to be our greatest potential.
00:04:12.537 --> 00:04:19.166
If there's something within that that inspires someone, then yeah, we all get one shot.
00:04:19.166 --> 00:04:28.872
To feel Reiki and to be a part of Reiki, I think is just one of the best experiences to begin with, and it all comes down to love.
00:04:29.372 --> 00:04:35.531
Ahhh Said so perfectly, Sarah, and I just think there really is no greater privilege.
00:04:35.531 --> 00:04:46.091
Is it then holding space for someone and as a master teacher to see and to attune others and to see them open up to the magic, like really?
00:04:46.437 --> 00:04:49.586
The intuitive and spiritual side of reiki is just magic.
00:04:49.586 --> 00:04:56.396
That's like the best way to describe it and the community that you're gonna be building and the people you're gonna meet and share and teach.
00:04:56.396 --> 00:04:57.206
I just can't wait.
00:04:57.547 --> 00:05:04.567
Sarah, what most excites you about bringing intuitive Reiki into your community down in Dunsborough.
00:05:06.262 --> 00:05:21.101
I guess bringing it into the community down here is all about giving people the opportunity to, their greatest potential in their transformation and however that looks for them is however it's going to be for them, and it's.
00:05:22.091 --> 00:05:23.382
My open-minded down there.
00:05:23.411 --> 00:05:24.221
Yeah.
00:05:24.221 --> 00:05:25.451
Everyone's so loving.
00:05:25.451 --> 00:05:27.341
Anyone, you know, to begin with.
00:05:27.341 --> 00:05:29.232
It's such a beautiful place down here.
00:05:29.281 --> 00:05:38.492
A lot of people come down here and they feel the healing energy to begin with, but, but it's the connection you can find on a deeper layer.
00:05:38.541 --> 00:05:54.971
Although there's a lot of people that come in and out here, there's still families here A lot of their partners are doing fifo and one of those things is with the tight families and that is, we can all feel a little void within ourselves and within the family dynamic.
00:05:54.971 --> 00:06:01.391
So if that's something that can help, other families and in the communities down here, I think that's really good.
00:06:01.442 --> 00:06:02.252
There's that healing
00:06:02.252 --> 00:06:03.276
energy in terms Yeah.
00:06:04.322 --> 00:06:04.771
Yeah.
00:06:04.771 --> 00:06:06.242
Within the families and.
00:06:07.107 --> 00:06:12.166
It's one thing I'm, I can see in the very, not so near future is,
00:06:12.706 --> 00:06:13.067
well see.
00:06:13.067 --> 00:06:14.567
You're getting ahead to my next question.
00:06:14.567 --> 00:06:15.826
What's your vision?
00:06:16.877 --> 00:06:20.086
See, this is where we are connected in and on an intuitive level.
00:06:20.086 --> 00:06:28.697
So your big vision for sharing reiki in your community, what would be your big dream if you were to fast forward maybe 10 years, what would that look
00:06:28.697 --> 00:06:28.786
like?
00:06:28.786 --> 00:06:29.326
Oh, 10 years.
00:06:29.326 --> 00:06:29.776
Oh my God.
00:06:29.776 --> 00:06:41.076
I dont know that, let's just start with like maybe two years, but, well, I had a little bit of an experience the other day where I offered, um, my time to go and do some reiki at a center here.
00:06:41.076 --> 00:06:49.026
And it wasn't until I got in that space and I was helping the educators, I saw.
00:06:49.476 --> 00:06:55.807
A different layer that was, I kind of was hiding behind my own layer, and that was the mum role.
00:06:55.836 --> 00:07:04.896
But then it was seeing mum's on a different level, whether it's they're looking after your kids or their teachers, whatever.
00:07:04.896 --> 00:07:11.646
I'd just seen this different layer and I just went, what about the people out there that.
00:07:12.081 --> 00:07:14.541
You know, taking care of other people.
00:07:14.601 --> 00:07:15.081
Like,
00:07:15.141 --> 00:07:16.701
it's like heal the healers.
00:07:16.701 --> 00:07:19.581
And I was like, because no one's asking them to do that.
00:07:19.581 --> 00:07:19.762
Nurture
00:07:19.762 --> 00:07:20.752
the nurturers.
00:07:21.951 --> 00:07:22.101
Yeah.
00:07:22.151 --> 00:07:37.041
And what comes with the reiki is not just a technique, it remind you of the compassionate action in everything and what comes with that is integrity.
00:07:37.701 --> 00:07:58.041
Yeah, and it's the integrity behind Intuitive Riki International that I am, I don't even know the word to explain it, but it speaks volumes, so for me, it's just bringing it back to that place of what's practical and simple.
00:07:58.041 --> 00:08:00.922
It's the whole, and it's, it's more than that.
00:08:00.971 --> 00:08:09.432
And just for people to really start trusting themselves and what comes from all of those human self, there's another side of everything.
00:08:09.521 --> 00:08:10.802
And, the divinity.
00:08:10.982 --> 00:08:12.091
The divinity within.
00:08:12.271 --> 00:08:13.112
Yeah.
00:08:13.112 --> 00:08:33.616
And I really, really, really want to try my hardest to move people past the place of duality because we, I think it's a time, you know, Reiki can really give us a beautiful part of ourselves to be in polarisation to find their divinity, so
00:08:33.677 --> 00:08:34.067
mm-hmm.
00:08:34.277 --> 00:08:36.047
Through that, through yeah.
00:08:36.206 --> 00:08:39.527
inspiration, which brings us all back to one oneness, doesn't it?
00:08:39.527 --> 00:08:42.797
Back to that connection and seeing.
00:08:44.417 --> 00:08:48.917
The world from, I guess a spiritual perspective, from love's perspective,
00:08:49.136 --> 00:08:51.027
from human harmonisers t he divinity of everything Yeah.
00:08:51.942 --> 00:08:53.022
That's so exciting.
00:08:53.292 --> 00:09:00.042
And lastly, Sarah, just for fun, what's one thing you love doing outside of Reiki that helps you to stay?
00:09:00.331 --> 00:09:03.182
Balanced and inspired other than your children.
00:09:03.182 --> 00:09:04.831
'cause I know that would be the first thing you'll say.
00:09:04.831 --> 00:09:05.341
My kids.
00:09:05.341 --> 00:09:05.761
My kids.
00:09:05.761 --> 00:09:06.542
I love my kids.
00:09:06.662 --> 00:09:07.022
Beautiful mother.
00:09:07.022 --> 00:09:07.922
That's a given.
00:09:07.922 --> 00:09:08.131
They're,
00:09:09.886 --> 00:09:12.746
you know, they just, they blend in like, um.
00:09:13.991 --> 00:09:14.351
Reiki.
00:09:15.111 --> 00:09:28.701
We've just finished a learn to channel course and Sarah was just telling me earlier that her community have come and given her food and she was just saying the friends of her boys were just literally bathing her baby so she could be online.
00:09:29.121 --> 00:09:31.432
And I just think that's just magic.
00:09:31.432 --> 00:09:34.101
She didn't ask and just they didn't, they didn't even know.
00:09:34.491 --> 00:09:47.182
All these beautiful people just came out to help and there's, there's just such a giving quality that when you give so much of yourself, Sarah, it comes back and I just think, I can't wait to see the ripple effect of your.
00:09:47.601 --> 00:09:59.721
Alignment and for me as a, as a founder of Intuitive Reiki, to kind of back you and support you and help you to get out into the community because I got to the point where I just can't do it on my own.
00:09:59.721 --> 00:10:02.662
So we're teaming up and I'm so excited.
00:10:02.662 --> 00:10:05.662
So what is it that grounds you and inspires you?
00:10:07.221 --> 00:10:09.142
The human self?
00:10:09.172 --> 00:10:09.442
Yeah.
00:10:09.442 --> 00:10:10.072
Personal
00:10:10.162 --> 00:10:12.022
being me just.
00:10:12.787 --> 00:10:17.976
Doing whatever I need to do to get me through the day, and you know, whether that's.
00:10:18.861 --> 00:10:20.422
Watching a movie by myself.
00:10:21.172 --> 00:10:21.501
Okay.
00:10:21.501 --> 00:10:21.892
Yeah.
00:10:21.892 --> 00:10:24.086
Running away from the kids and hiding and watching a movie.
00:10:24.086 --> 00:10:28.331
Um, chucking on some music while I get through the whatever.
00:10:28.331 --> 00:10:29.261
It just, whatever.
00:10:29.261 --> 00:10:34.841
Having a, a nice, it could be a nice glass of wine down at the beach with my family, or,
00:10:34.841 --> 00:10:36.162
well, you live in, you live.
00:10:37.052 --> 00:10:37.532
Whatever.
00:10:37.772 --> 00:10:47.792
You live in paradise, so why wouldn't you watch a sunset with your beautiful family and a glass of wine and cheese and bickies on the beach, like it just sounds like heaven to me.
00:10:47.792 --> 00:10:52.711
Perhaps you could do a reiki, a Reiki group out there on the beach, maybe without the wine.
00:10:53.341 --> 00:10:56.432
Yeah, well, there's lots of whales out there at the moment, so they're
00:10:58.226 --> 00:10:58.307
exciting.
00:10:59.471 --> 00:11:03.011
Migrating their beautiful rays of light at the moment.
00:11:03.011 --> 00:11:14.201
So that's another thing that I've been actually working on a little bit quietly in the background, is I've been videoing and yeah, seeing some beautiful things come through.
00:11:14.201 --> 00:11:17.471
So there's so much to learn when it comes to reiki as well.
00:11:17.471 --> 00:11:22.721
Like we're in a different place on this earth right now and however that looks, but you know what?
00:11:24.312 --> 00:11:25.932
It's, you can be anyone.
00:11:25.932 --> 00:11:27.162
You can be anything.
00:11:27.522 --> 00:11:34.721
It's just, at the end of the day, we all wanna feel loved and we all want to feel safe in whatever it is we are going through.
00:11:34.772 --> 00:11:40.922
We've packaged it up and we'll be able to take that energy out and uplift and inspire and hold others.
00:11:41.371 --> 00:11:53.341
And that's the path you're on now, Sarah, and it is such a privilege for me to know that I get to work with you and we get to make a bigger impact together.
00:11:53.341 --> 00:11:55.231
So Sarah.
00:11:55.302 --> 00:11:58.601
Uh, it's going to be a fun, wild ride.
00:11:58.601 --> 00:12:07.991
Please join me in congratulating Sarah as the first licensee of Intuitive Reiki International and reach out.
00:12:07.991 --> 00:12:11.981
She'll be putting out details on how you can learn with Sarah very soon.
00:12:11.981 --> 00:12:13.302
So thank you, Sarah.
00:12:13.302 --> 00:12:14.292
Congratulations.
00:12:14.652 --> 00:12:14.892
Thank you.
00:12:14.892 --> 00:12:15.131
Thank you.
00:12:16.152 --> 00:12:16.961
My pleasure.

00:01:00.189 --> 00:01:07.299
00:01:07.629 --> 00:01:12.310
00:01:12.670 --> 00:01:18.189
