About Sophie
I help women understand their emotions through their bodies—so they can resolve, without years of overthinking.
My work unfolded through my own life, through moments that asked me to pause, to question, and to listen more deeply to what I was experiencing.
I grew up in France, lived in Germany, and eventually moved to the United States. Each transition required me to adapt to a new culture, a new language, a new way of living.
It was during my time in Germany, in 1997, that I walked into a yoga class for the first time. I didn’t understand the language being spoken, but I could feel my body. I could feel my breath. And for the first time, I experienced what it was like to be present without needing to think my way through it.
That experience stayed with me.
Years later, I moved to the United States, where I raised my two children while building a life in a new country. Like many women, I learned how to hold everything together. I cared for others, adapted to what was needed, and kept moving forward. And in doing so, I gradually set aside parts of myself.
It was during those years that I began studying Yoga and Ayurveda.
Yoga, for me, became a way of living—a path to become more aware, more aligned, and ultimately a better version of myself. Ayurveda, often described as the sister science of yoga, offered another layer of understanding. As a holistic system, it focuses on the connection between body, mind, and spirit and how balance can be restored through daily habits, nutrition, and lifestyle.
Together, they gave me a foundation—not as disciplines to follow, but as ways to understand how we live, feel, and move through life.
Then my children grew up and went to college. And in that same period, I lost my mother.
That year marked a profound transition. It brought both space and grief, and with it, a question that became impossible to ignore:
Who am I now?
It wasn’t just about identity. It was about connection. I realized that even though I had the tools, even though I had years of practice, there were still emotions I had not fully allowed myself to feel. There were experiences I had moved through, but not fully processed.
At the same time, I began hearing similar reflections from other women. Women who had been strong and capable, yet found themselves feeling disconnected, uncertain, or overwhelmed in ways they couldn’t fully explain.
What became clear to me is that emotional overwhelm is not a sign that something is wrong. It is a sign that something has not yet been fully experienced.
And, more importantly, I saw that most of us have been taught to understand our emotions through the mind. We analyze, we reflect, we try to make sense of what we feel. But emotions don’t resolve in the mind. They begin in the body.
When they are not fully felt, they don’t disappear. They remain, showing up as tension, recurring thoughts, physical discomfort, or a subtle sense of disconnection.
That understanding changed the way I approached my own experience—and it became the foundation of my work.
Today, I guide women through a process that brings them back into contact with what they are feeling, not to fix it, but to allow it to move and bring a deeper sense of connection to oneself.
