Biography
Sophie Marsh is Australia’s only Nia Trainer on the International Nia Training Faculty and the country’s most experienced Nia teacher. For over 25 years, she has been a catalyst for embodied transformation – guiding women to reconnect with the wisdom of the body, the healing power of movement, and the joy of living with purpose and presence.
Based in Brisbane, Sophie facilitates Nia’s Art of Sensation (White Belt) and Art of Communication (Blue Belt) trainings, and has completed all levels of Nia education, along with extensive study in trauma-sensitive practice, mindfulness and somatic healing. Since bringing the practice home from the US in 2004, her leadership has helped shape a vibrant Australian Nia community rooted in connection and collaboration.
Sophie creates spaces that are welcoming, playful and deeply restorative – where women, especially in midlife and beyond, can move, heal, and awaken to their natural strength, sensuality and vitality.
She also works as a Family Support Worker and educator in the Alcohol and Other Drugs (AOD) sector, offering heart-led support to individuals and families navigating life’s challenges with grace and compassion.
“We are all born with unlimited magnificence. What if there was a way of moving and living in your body that reconnected you to the sensation of that truth? Whether it’s a Nia class or the Nia White Belt training, you already have all you need within. Your body knows. You are ready now. It’s time to step in.”
