Sophie's Story
Sophie is a joy-seeker, entrepreneur, certified Life and Vitality Coach and trained facilitator with a background in the wellness, events, theatre, hospitality, media and publishing industries.
She was born in New Zealand in 1988 to German parents who had settled there years earlier with Sophie’s older sister Chrissy. In 1991 the family returned to Stuttgart, Germany, and Sophie spent her childhood growing up and embracing her German heritage.
At the age of 16, Sophie took the opportunity to discover New Zealand for a foreign exchange. Even though she had spent most of her life growing up in Germany she couldn’t
shake the feeling that she had returned home. So she made the bold choice to stay in beautiful New Zealand to continue her education.
She completed a Bachelor of Three Dimensional Design at Unitec Auckland in 2011. It was a very practical degree that helped her forge her love for experience design. And to this day designing experiences in her personal and professional life is what Sophie loves.
In 2012 she became a parent to her daughter Brooklyn which opened up her eyes to another side of life and presented her with challenges and great discoveries alike.
Around 3 ½ years later, her second daughter Summer came along all while working part-time as a Digital Producer and running a small gift box business called SoulBox.
She immersed herself in self-development, mindset, nutrition and holistic health for about 5 years and discovered the importance of well-being in everyday life, personally and professionally.
Her life looked amazing on the outside but she was secretly struggling to juggle family life, business, job, study and the relationship with the father of her kids.
After the separation from the father of her kids in December 2018, she found her life turned upside down.
To move through the pain and grief of the separation, she immersed herself in self-development and healing modalities which helped her completely re-assess her life.
This personal reset was the catalyst for her career change too. In 2020 Sophie retrained as a certified Life Coach, graduated with a Diploma in Te Reo Maori and launched her coaching business.
Since then Sophie has served 200+, created 3 programs that cater to clients at different stages of their journey, delivers corporate workshops for businesses and launched her first retreat.
And all this while prioritizing herself, her well-being and her family. She truly believes that we can have it all, meet our needs and desires and smash our audacious goals at the same time. In a sustainable and holistic approach to life that is available to every single one of us.
MY JOURNEY
How I Became A Joy Seeker
As I share this blog, I think life is about living it to the fullest as much as it is about living it with depth. We can find joy in every moment, the big and the small ones, it is available for all of us if we choose it as an intention for our life. So instead of focusing on the things we are missing and the things that don’t feel good, let’s shift our focus to the here and now, and invite joy into everything you do.
