Testimonials
"Sophie exudes a safe, relaxing and delightfully healing presence. She deeply understands our mysterious nature, both perfect… and perfectly imperfect! I have no hesitation in recommending her to anyone looking to deepen their connection to both their human and divine selves. Her deep care, kindness and intelligence is a blessing for this world” (Jeff Foster, Spiritual Teacher and Author).
"Sophie has that rare gift of true feminine power; soft and nurturing, wise and knowing, still and magnetic. She brings that awesomeness into all her workshops. I have benefited many times from her energy and wisdom .... I strongly recommend that you experience her unique gifts.” (Lawrence Bloom, Secretary general of BeEarth Foundation, United Nations)
"Anyone needing their soul soothed by the divine Love and wisdom of the feminine? Go see Sophie!" (Jamie Catto, Film-maker, Author, Spiritual Teacher)
"Dearest Sophie, I wanted to thank you for your wonderful class! Sitting on my bed straight after the class, there was total fulfilment, silence, complete Stillness! It was a rich, dark and fertile, velvety Stillness, all-loving, all-encompassing. There was no time and no mind. In time, this lasted about 3 hours until I went to bed. I feel that this opening was possible because of your deeply gentle, all-loving and all-embracing presence that is rooted in Stillness - the Divine Mother aspect that is sometimes missing even in the deepest non-dual expressions, or not fully expressing from the deepest Stillness in some more heart based expressions. You are a true Bodhisattva! With much love and gratitude for all you are and all you have done this year, dearest Sophie!" (Alice Lear, Cranial Sacral Therapist, Yoga Teacher and Carer).
"Sophie is a skilled therapist and powerful counsellor. Her ability to be present with me as a client, rather than trying to fix me or change my experience in any way helps me to feel really seen and understood. She extends a compassionate heart during our sessions, and holds an angelic presence while doing intense inner work. She not only is steeped in transpersonal practices and healing modalities based in world wisdom traditions, but she also embodies pure love, understanding, and kindness. I highly recommend working with Sophie, whether you're looking to manage an intense experience, deepen your connection with yourself, or explore the potential of your heart and soul. Sophie's combination of tenderness, humanity, and grace as a therapist can only be described as benevolent". (Sarah Byrd, Life Coach and owner of Basic Goodness magazine).
"Some sages say that true meditation is an elevated poetry of the soul reaching out to connect with the heavens. That it is beyond technique. One has to let go of the ego to see and experience a new vision.
Sophie's path to stillness meditation is such a kind, humble, and powerful way to explore the depth of soul and spirit, beyond the conventional mind. It is such an angelic and integrative experience. If you want to expand consciousness and rediscover the beauty of everyday life itself Sophie's approach is a whole dimension on how to connect and walk with the angels on earth with humbleness and authenticity" (Alex J. Weitzmann, CEO and Co-Founder Smart Republic)
“Last night I followed an impulse to change my plans and join Sophie’s meditation class. Moved by the class I went to post a thank you on her wall afterwards but no words came. I realised ‘I’ was in a space beyond thought. I waited an hour but realised ‘it’ wasn’t going to shift before bed.
Today I reflect that the experience was comparable to a DMT medicine journey, though softer entry and lasting wave. I attempted to paint it this morning but it seems ‘beyond’ paint.
I still feel moved by the lasting effects of the journey she took us on held with such grace and depth of wisdom. Without Sophie’s safe holding and absorbing gentle presence I wouldn’t have been able to go so far beyond my ‘self’ in a first class.
I had the sense that this is where it’s happening - the shift in the world - that I had stumbled across a seemingly still underground gemstone rooted in the reality of life, shining wisdom that ripples out into the world.
I shared a piece of Sophie’s wisdom in my own class today. The potency lives on and I feel honoured to have felt her medicine”. (Alice Bird, Actress and Teacher)
"Sophie embodies 'the kindest thing' – her soul sessions create a beautiful space to drop into the stillness of YOU, and from that place Sophie sweetly holds a beautiful delicate space where you naturally peel back and dissolve the layers of your shadow.
How we treat others, I have realised through my sessions with Sophie, is a direct reflection of how we treat ourselves. ‘Self-care’ is a big buzz word at the moment however through working with Sophie I have realised that in any given moment it goes deeper than that it’s about real self-kindness - once we are kinder to ourselves it’s amazing how that spills over into our outer world.
Sophie’s question: what is the kindest thing you can say to yourself in any given moment sticks with me. It’s true what they say the greatest relationship begins with yourself and Sophie holds a beautiful space for you to understand who You truly are and how to be so very kind and witness the wounded inner child within that just needs your love and kindness from your own self rather than anyone externally. Sophie honestly helps you to become the kindest thing to yourself and others, be gentle on yourself and cut yourself some slack ‘you are only human’ as she reminds me sweetly." (Karishma, Lawyer).
"I have been on three retreats with Sophie and I am looking forward to the next. Sophie is a beautiful soul who shares her insight and understanding with clarity, simplicity and generosity. Her teaching can be taken at several levels and works for both beginners and experienced meditators. Her gift is to make everyone relax and feel safe and at ease, to enable them to get the most out of each session. As well as myself I have brought two friends to Sophie’s retreats who had never done meditation before and who loved it and her". (Marian Boswall, Landscape Architect)
“Sophie is a wonderful teacher who teaches from the heart. She has an incredibly healing and gentle nature and is able to hold space with this very soft yet powerful presence. I'm reminded of a quote by Lao Tzu that talks about how the power of water is in it's soft and yielding nature, which allows it to wear away even the most rigid of rocks and I feel Sophie is a living example of this. I leave her classes feeling light, still and present. She is a benevolent teacher that exudes grace, deep wisdom and empathy. Heartfelt thanks Sophie!” (Vikki Bellinger, trainee yoga teacher and psychotherapist)
"If you have met Sophie at this time then it is likely that she has come to you, as you are ready to work with her!
Whether you have an existing practice or are new to the spiritual world, I highly recommend Sophie! Through her non-judgmental approach, she has truly shifted me into a much calmer, clearer and more intuitive way of being in the world. She has gifted me specific tools that tap into and balm deep-rooted triggers and has truly allowed me to tangibly transmit base metal (old pain, trauma and limiting beliefs etc) into gold. She has helped me to deeply trust myself and trust in the process of life much more. And her sessions have also reminded me to have faith in the choice of love and kindness, not only onto towards others, but also how to implement this loving kindness towards myself. She has really shifted me to another level of my practice and I am so grateful for this angel coming into my life." (Chandni, Dentist)
"I have attended twice Sophie’s retreats on an amazing setting on the Kent border. The retreat not only offers the most spectacular location, amazing views and gardens along with wonderful vegan food for the day, it gives you the chance to meet Sophie who is the most incredible meditation lady I have ever met. Sophie has an inspiring and caring way of healing all those things that have troubled your path of life, I have experienced the most wonderful transformation on my journey with her, to feeling comfortable and happy within myself and to delivering my career more protectively and inspiring other people to do the same journey. Thank you Sophie" (Vanessa Johnson, Personal Trainer).
"I had the privilege to work with Sophie for almost a year, and it was the best experience I could have hoped for. In the safe space that Sophie created I was able to be at my most vulnerable and feel totally supported. I both laughed and cried on a regular basis with Sophie, and left every single session feeling more grounded, more hopeful, and more powerful than when I came in. Sophie radiates a special kind of energy and it is clear that she is following her calling in helping others through a range of modalities. I am so grateful for the time I shared with her, and can highly recommend any opportunity to work with Sophie as an invaluable one" (Jackie, Marketing Manager)
"Sophie you are a gifted spirit, and I am grateful that you creatively share your light with others. Each retreat brings new insight into my own spiritual path. The labyrinth was incredible and I felt so connected with the earth and sky and nature and actually being able to live in the moment. Using silence, during the meal, was incredibly powerful and something I had never experienced before. Thank you for creating the sacred space for us to share such a delicious and nourishing meal. And, following the retreat, the blessings and intuitive insights received during your guided meditation sessions still continue to inspire. I am really looking forward to the next one. Warmest heartfelt thanks Sophie" (Sandi Carney).
"Sophie was actually the first person to teach me meditation almost 7 years ago. Since that time and thanks to Sophie my life has profoundly changed. A gifted counsellor and teacher, Sophie is an incredibly wise and inspiring woman. She has always instilled a sense of hope, lightness and understanding to all and has guided me through many challenging moments with profound insight and ease. She is honestly one of the best therapists I know and I would highly recommend her to anyone and everyone. I have no doubt Sophie will bring deep transformation to many, many lives through her healing work. " (Paris, co-founder of Avalon Wellbeing Centre).
"Sophie's generosity of spirit and innate disposition of acceptance and non-judgment can truly be felt in her therapy. Her open-hearted presence feels healing to be around, and she inspires all with her skillful and loving nature. Overall she brings a delicate and artful balance between supporting and also allowing one's own experience to emerge. Her deep care for the world, and for individuals, is felt in interacting with her, and the wisdom and kindness she offers feels simultaneously healing and hopeful" (Eliza, Psychotherapist).
"As a newcomer to meditation and to spiritual practice in general, I was sceptical to say the least. After a long and extensive chat on which Sophie calmed down my anxious nerves about what would happen, I immediately felt at ease in her meditation class. I'm not really sure what happened but afterwards I felt immediately energised and rejuvenated. Sophie is a completely calming and healing presence - something that definitely benefits my life" (Nazli, Teacher).
"Sophie first introduced me to the practice of meditation in a very accessible and welcoming way. Her teaching was clear and compelling, focusing both on the technique and the history of meditation. I attribute Sophie's meditation classes to the peace of mind I felt finishing my studies in my final year of university. I recommend her teaching for anyone looking to gain a greater sense of serenity and calm within themselves" (Max, Founder and Managing Director of College Connections).
