About Me
Originally from France, I’ve lived in Germany and now the United States—experiences that shaped a rich, multicultural perspective I bring into my work. My life philosophy is deeply influenced by the Vedic disciplines of Yoga and Ayurveda, which I first encountered in 1997 while living in Germany. Although I didn’t speak the language fluently, I felt an instant, intuitive connection to these ancient teachings. I learned through my heart. Yoga became a path of self-realization, and Ayurveda a guide for living in harmony with nature. Through them, I began to feel spiritually connected—not only to my deeper self, but also to the world and people around me.
In 2003, I moved to the U.S., continuing my studies while raising two young children. As we moved from place to place over the years, I leaned on the mindful principles I had embraced: staying present, practicing non-attachment, and engaging in self-inquiry. These values helped me navigate life’s constant changes with greater awareness and peace.
As my children grew into adulthood, I felt called to support others in reconnecting with themselves. I saw many moms, like myself, who had poured their energy into caring for others. Along the way, parts of ourselves can get tucked away. And then life shifts—through loss, an empty nest, a move, a new job, or a change in a relationship—and uncertainty emerges. We begin to question who we are and what we want in life. I witnessed how self-inquiry, at the heart of coaching, wellness counseling, and yogic philosophy, offers a way forward. It allows us to pause, reflect, and make intentional choices aligned with who we’re becoming.
Today, I offer my services from a place grounded in lived experience and a diverse background that includes life coaching, nutrition, Yoga, Ayurveda, and mindfulness. These tools continue to guide my own inner work and have taught me to approach others with openness and without judgment—qualities essential to the coaching process.
I meet you where you are, holding space for your unique journey, and supporting you in reconnecting to your body, mind, and spirit so you can enjoy a long and vibrant life.

Before working with Sophie, I was searching for guidance on how to tap into my authenticity. I knew there was more to uncover within myself, but I wasnt sure how to access it or where to begin. I felt like I was circling around my truth without knowing how to land on it. Now, I have a clear roadmap for how to achieve this. Sophie has an incredible ability to ask the right questions; the kind that spark deep inner dialogue and bring buried insights to the surface. Her communication style is warm, clear, and powerfully intuitive. She knows how to create a space that feels both safe and expansive, where real growth can happen. Working with Sophie has been transformative. Shes not only helped me see whats possible, but shes given me the tools and clarity to actually move toward it. Im incredibly grateful for her guidance and would recommend her to anyone looking to reconnect with their true self.

Sophie was super helpful in guiding me toward an action plan for the next stage of setting up my new business venture. Before the session I had a lot of thoughts and ideas in my head, after spending time with Sophie, those thoughts were more organized and informed clear actions for me to take over the next few weeks. Thank you Sophie!

I was at a point in my life where I wasn't very happy with myself, and my actions/reactions to people and situations. I knew it was time to do some inward searching, but I wasn't sure how to begin. However, I am a firm believer that people come into your life for a reason. I take yoga classes with Sophie at Arcana Yoga, and I was telling her how I was feeling during a particularly stressful time, and she suggested an 8-week coaching session. It took me about a minute to decide it was time and IT HAS COMPLETELY CHANGED MY LIFE! This is NOT therapy - there is no discussion about past trauma. This is about moving FORWARD in a positive, confident manner and working on the best version of yourself. We all WANT to present our best selves to the world, but sometimes that's hard to do when you find yourself behaving the same way again and again - even if you aren't happy with that behavior. Sophie's coaching with me was about breaking the cycles of behavior I didn't like; recognizing what triggered me to behavior the way I do; and how to stop, think, analyze, and then make a CALM and RATIONAL decision about how to react - or not to react at all. She has REALLY helped me learn that not every action requires a reaction. I don't HAVE to respond to every negative comment, negative action, or negative situation. My goal was to feel more calm in my life because I have a tendency to react very quickly to people and situations, most of the time in a negative way. By learning tools to help me assess instead of judge a person or situation, I am starting to let go of people and situations that cause me to feel anxious, angry or resentful. Sophie doesn't TELL you what you should do. She talks to you, asks questions and then coaches solutions out of you. YOU are the one that figures out how to change and what works for you; it's not about her giving you instructions to follow. You have to put in the work, search inward and reflect, and you are rewarded with a new set of skills that you can begin implementing after your first session. It's truly amazing how she has helped me change my mindset not only about others, but also about myself. One of the most powerful things she has ever said to me is "Think about what your life would be like if you showed yourself the same compassion and grace you show others?" What a statement! If you are struggling with anything; if you want to find some inner calm and peace; if you need help motivating yourself to take the next step forward; if you have trouble setting boundaries; if you doubt yourself or lack confidence - do yourself a favor and make the investment with Sophie to change. I would have laughed at you a year ago if you told me I'd have a life coach, and now I am beyond grateful for her patience and guidance these past 8 weeks because I FEEL AMAZING! I know I feel better, but the best part is when other people notice the change in me! My journey isn't over yet, and I will continue to work with Sophie every couple of months to keep me on track or help me with anything I struggle with. Remember, YOU are the most important person in your life, and if you want others to respect you, you have to respect yourself first. Sophie will truly help you to change your life in such a positive way, so take that leap of faith because YOU ARE WORTH IT.
