With a 25 year career as a clinical professional within healthcare, including 10 years as a clinical educator - Sophie’s career has always focused on helping people.
However, due to her own life experiences of trauma and grief, Sophie recognised that she needed to turn her attention towards her own healing, and embarked on a quest to break free of the chaos and overwhelm cycle that prevented her from truly flourishing.
She found the healing benefits of therapy, yoga and meditation before eventually finding her way to circle; a place where she felt gently held in her vulnerability as she put her stories into words.
Determined to offer this sacred space to others Sophie qualified as an advanced circle facilitator and a meditation guide, and has been offering circles to women and the LGBTQ+ community since 2020. However, her true calling has been to help other people through grief and loss, ans having completed training as a Grief Coach, she offers support to those experiencing grief and loss through the sacred art of grief tending.
Sophie is trauma informed and LGBTQ+ friendly. Training as a hypnotherapist and psychotherapeutic counsellor Sophie will soon be offering these modalities to clients also.
In the year 2000, Sophie experienced a life changing event when her sister was suddenly and violently murdered. As a stand alone event this was incredibly difficult to navigate, but other life-experiences prior to this meant that her emotional foundations were already unstable.
When her sister died Sophie did not have a framework to lean on to help her navigate the complexity of emotions that arose, and she spiralled into a cycle of overwhelm and self-destruction that led her to use alcohol, drugs and self-harm as coping mechanisms.
After attempting to take her own life on the day she buried her sister's ashes, Sophie was admitted to a therapeutic community for 10 months, and so began her journey of healing and post-traumatic growth.
Over the last two decades Sophie has been focusing on healing herself and has learned that this requires travelling inwards to connect deeply with oneself. Through therapy, meditation, yoga, and circle Sophie has connected with her innate rising wisdom, her inner truth and knowing, and the strongest desire to break free from the life she was living, in order to truly thrive. Sober for over 5 years, and free from self-harm and self-destruct for well over a decade, Sophie continues to carve out a path in life that aligns with truth to her authentic being.
To expand on her life calling for helping others, Sophie completed her training as an advanced circle facilitator, meditation guide, certified grief coach, and trauma-informed coach.
She is also currently training as a hypnotherapist and psychotherapeutic counsellor.
Rising Wisdom is the space where all her offerings come together; delivering holistic and humanistic services for people on their own journey of becoming.
Sophie lives with her wife, puppy, and cat, just outside of London on the Surrey/Kent border.
