Testimonials

  • My sessions with Sophie were to help me find some resolution and meaning following a cancer diagnosis and 8 months of treatment. I found that Sophie's techniques centered on the body were amazingly helpful, compared to other kinds of therapy I have tried. The bodywork took me out of thinking about my problems and thinking about what the answer should be, instead bringing me an unexpected level of understanding and freedom. I felt totally cared for and supported when we discussed my issues and I appreciated how Sophie always guided our sessions with my desired outcomes in mind. Every session, I felt a positive shift and a step closer to getting my life back on track. Sophie is a very skilled, kind, sensitive practitioner who I highly recommend!

  • The impact of Sophie's work with me has been long-lasting. I am now able to talk openly about my past trauma and react to everyday scenarios without my nervous system being triggered. Her gentle, genuine and compassionate nature is incredibly refreshing. What stands out to me is her ability to respond on a human level to what I brought to each session and we were even able to have a laugh together. I have Sophie to thank for helping me get to this point where I feel comfortable in my daily life and am no longer held back by the past.

    I want to thank you from my soul and heart for the support, empathy, kindness, compassion and commitment you offered to me during our therapeutic process. You communicated with me, and held space for me, with attentiveness, gentleness and firmness. You supported my ability to explore and accept myself in my many forms. Some things are too complex to find words for, but to put it plain: You are an amazing therapist! Thank you so much for everything, my life has been enriched by meeting you and having a therapeutic relationship with you. I feel very lucky to have met you when I did ~ I am truly grateful.
