Sophie is based in Brisbane.
For over 23 years, she has guided and inspired people to find more joy and vibrant wellbeing through movement, mindfulness, and wellness education. After living and training in the US, Sophie brought Nia home when she returned to Brisbane in 2004. She has been collaboratively building and leading an Australia-wide Nia community ever since.
In her in-person and online classes, workshops, retreats and trainings, Sophie holds a welcoming and playful space for people of all ages and backgrounds to come home to their body and move, learn, connect, transform and live with more pleasure, confidence and vitality.
Sophie also shares adapted Nia sessions, “Joy Therapy” for populations with special needs, including multicultural communities, teens and older populations, mental health groups, cancer survivors, and women desiring to heal their relationship with their sensual bodies. She has trained in MBSR with Mindful Leader and is a trauma-sensitive practitioner.
“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.”
