The Process
The Engagement Process
If the Reiyā approach aligns with what you are looking for, below are the steps for how the process unfolds.
1. Introduction Call with GIO
30 minutes | Complimentary
A direct conversation to understand what is happening right now and what you are looking for. This call is used to confirm fit, explain how the process works, and answer practical questions.
If Reiyā is not the right fit, that is named directly and, where possible, better-suited options are suggested.
2. Agreement and Onboarding
If both sides choose to move forward, a short agreement is shared outlining the scope of Layer 1, confidentiality, and the initial timeline. Once this is in place, the assessment phase begins and the schedule is set.
3. Layer 1: The Research
2 to 4 weeks | Mapping the system
Layer 1 is designed to map the full picture rather than isolate one symptom. Through structured assessments and guided reflection, Reiyā identifies the pattern underneath the pattern, including stress responses, protective strategies, and relational dynamics. The goal is a coherent understanding of what drives the loops, not more insight fragments.
4. The Master Profile
Layer 1 culminates in the delivery of the Master Profile, a written synthesis that translates the assessment material into a clear, usable map. A dedicated review session follows, where the profile is walked through together, priorities are clarified, and the most effective leverage points for change are identified.
If moving into Layer 2 makes sense, the review session is also where the focus of the rebuild is defined: what will be worked on, what success looks like, and the structure of the engagement. A short follow-up agreement is then provided to confirm scope, timeline, and boundaries before Layer 2 begins.
5. Layer 2: The Rebuild
12 weeks | Applied change
Awareness is the starting point, not the finish line. Layer 2 is where insight becomes implementation. Using the Master Profile as the foundation, the work focuses on building the capacity to interrupt old responses in real time and train new ones until they hold under stress.
Layer 2 is optional, and it is recommended when applied support is the difference between understanding the pattern and actually changing it.

FAQs

Because how you function—mentally, emotionally, and physically—is shaped by early survival instincts, cultural conditioning, and inherited beliefs. Over time, those adaptations start to feel like identity—but they’re often just coping strategies.
When you don’t understand how your system actually works—how you think, feel, protect, and relate—it becomes harder to trust yourself, to feel safe in your body, or to meet others without defensiveness or fear.
And when you keep ignoring the signals—those subtle cues from your body, your mood, your relationships—your system eventually compensates. It can shut down or go into overdrive. This often shows up as anxiety, burnout, numbness, emotional reactivity, chronic fatigue, and in some cases, physical illness or disease.
Self-understanding brings clarity. And with clarity comes safety, self-trust, emotional regulation, and the capacity to love without abandoning yourself.
“Finding yourself” isn’t about becoming someone new. It’s about returning to who you were before the noise. That’s where resilience begins—and why this kind of clarity matters in the volatile world we live in.

Reiyā is for people who have been trying for a long time to understand who they truly are, and why life still feels misaligned.
Often, they are living high-demand lives and putting a lot of pressure on themselves. They might work independently in creative fields, build their own projects, run a business, or lead teams. They are often in roles that require constant self-direction. Many have taken non-traditional paths with different countries, different jobs, multiple reinventions, and a lot of adapting on the go. They can be capable and driven, and still reach a point where the cost becomes obvious and they hit burnout, self blame and guilt.
They may already be self-aware as they have tried many of the options out there, but still feel like the full picture is missing and the dots are not connecting.
That is where Reiyā steps in. It helps you see the full pattern of how you operate and what keeps repeating, so you can build changes that fit you and hold up in real life.
-
Reiyā works in layers. Each layer is designed to move from insight into real-world application, so what you learn actually changes how you operate day to day.
Layer 1 is called The Research. It usually takes 2 to 4 weeks and uses structured 1:1 assessments and guided reflection. The goal is to build a clear Profile, a synthesis document that captures how you function across the areas that matter most. Reiyā does not diagnose and it is not trying to explain you through clinical language. It looks for patterns and cause-and-effect in your lived experience. It highlights what reliably triggers you, what steadies you, what pulls you off track, and what restores you. It also surfaces contradictions, like what you say you want versus what your default habits actually protect. This Profile becomes the working blueprint for what we train next.
-
Layer 2 is called The Rebuild. It is a 12-week coaching container that uses the data from Layer 1 to turn insight into real change. We work directly from your Profile, focusing on the specific loops and pressure points that showed up in The Research.
This stage is training-focused and practical. We identify the moments where you tend to default into the same response, then build and rehearse alternatives that are simpler, cleaner, and more aligned with what you actually want. The goal is not more willpower or better intentions. The goal is having enough steadiness and clarity in the moment to choose what you do next, even under pressure.
-
Therapy is essential when you need stabilization, mental health support, or a clinical space to process and heal.
Reiyā offers a future-focused path.
We don’t diagnose or treat—we work with patterns: how you think, adapt, protect, and relate.Our first phase, Layer 1, often brings clarity more quickly than traditional methods. It can also serve as a standalone foundation if you choose to pursue therapy instead of coaching.
From there, we move into strategic, embodied coaching designed to help you live, lead, and relate with greater alignment.
This work is for those ready to turn deep understanding into meaningful, lasting change.

Layer 1 takes 2–4 weeks. Most clients complete one assessment every few days.
Layer 2 runs 12 weeks with weekly 60-minute sessions and integration work between.

Layer 1: The Research and Master Profile
€1,095
Layer 1 is a structured assessment phase designed to map the system clearly and precisely.It includes:
Six 60-minute 1:1 sessions
A Master Profile (one written synthesis document)
One 60-minute review session to walk through the profile, clarify priorities, and define next steps
Layer 1 is designed to stand on its own. Between sessions, there is no ongoing support, as the work is contained within the assessment sessions. Clients may send one email per week for brief clarifications and logistics, with responses within 24 to 36 business hours (Monday to Friday).
For clients who want implementation support after the profile review, Layer 2 can be discussed as an optional next step.
Layer 2: The Rebuild
12 weeks | €2,222
Layer 2 is a bespoke coaching process built directly from the Master Profile. The focus is set from the patterns identified in Layer 1 and translated into a practical 12-week plan for applied change. The work supports clients in finding new responses in real time and building patterns that hold under stress.It includes:
Twelve weekly 60-minute sessions
Integration work between sessions to apply what is being learned in daily life
Up to two email check-ins per week for brief clarifications and support, with responses within 24 to 36 business hours (Monday to Friday)
Reiyā does not provide on-demand or crisis support. Scheduling and rescheduling policies are shared during onboarding.
Layer 2 is optional. It is recommended when the difference between insight and real change is practice, structure, and support over time.
Investment
Reiyā is a bespoke process. Pricing reflects the fact that the work is built from the Master Profile. Each Layer 2 engagement is shaped around the client’s specific patterns, constraints, and leverage points, and the sessions and integration work are designed accordingly.Payment Plans
Payment plans are available. If the work feels aligned but timing is a constraint, it can be discussed during the introduction call. -
Reiyā is delivered as a scheduled, personalised service, and client capacity is reserved once onboarding begins.
For clients booking online, a 14-day right of withdrawal may apply. If a client asks for the work to begin within that 14-day period, they acknowledge that this affects the withdrawal right. If the service has already started and the client withdraws, any refund is adjusted to reflect the portion of the work already delivered.
The free 30-minute introduction call is there to confirm fit before moving forward. If unsure, Layer 1 is the best place to start.

Reiyā comes from the Japanese word for layer: レイヤー.
The name was chosen because change does not happen all at once. It unfolds in layers: mental, emotional, physical, relational, and inherited patterns. Each layer carries its own strategies, protections, and possibilities.
Most people live from the surface of these layers without seeing how they shape thoughts, reactions, and choices. The Reiyā Method is designed to map and work through them one layer at a time, with clarity, precision, and care.
This is not about fixing anyone. It is about uncovering what is already there beneath roles, reflexes, and noise.
