Hey, I'm Sophie Dear!

I’m a life coach, yoga & meditation teacher and retreat leader with over 9 years of experience in the wellness industry. 

After years of suffering numerous health problems both physically & mentally, feeling totally burnt out (from my job in TV then also as a yoga teacher!), and going through a sudden separation & divorce… I decided to commit to doing the deeper work on myself.

I worked on my inner critic, my lack of boundaries, my people pleasing; and I looked at my relationships with partners, family, friends... I was shocked at why I hadn't been taught any of this at school!

Every single area of my life started to change. I now feel so much more comfortable in my skin. I live in London, am a mum to a little boy, and am passionate about helping you find the same sense of ease and peace that I have found.

My coaching and teaching style is compassionate and rooted in neuroscience, anatomy & the science behind spirituality.

  • "I felt a bit nervous and perhaps a little sceptical before the retreat but Sophie creates such a safe"

    I was really able to open up and enjoy myself. Afterwards I felt a great sense of peace and camaraderie. I’ve learnt things about myself I didn’t expect and feel stronger and more resilient for it.

  • "I feel balanced, grounded and more powerful"

    Having been on this retreat with all the yoga practices, meditations, workshops and different experiences like Kirtan, the water ceremony etc opened my heart, brought a lightness, started a change in my perceptions, feelings and emotions. Thank you so much Sophie for what you have created!

  • "I was in awe of every single woman I met"

    If you are looking for a community of women who had different life experiences but share the same feelings of anxiety, sadness, guilt, shame & grief - this retreat is all you need. I was in awe of every single woman I met, and I left feeling understood, valued, heard and loved - something I have struggled to feel in a very long time.

  • "Sophie just makes everyone so comfortable"

    Keep doing what you're doing. You're cultivating a community of amazing like minded women and your warmth and leadership Sophie just makes everyone so comfortable at being vulnerable and leaning into the process. I can't wait to sign up for the next retreat.

  • "This was my first ever retreat"

    I wasn’t sure how it would be - one week with many other women who I didn’t know before. I want to say this Bali trip was one of my best and most unique experiences in my life. I could not be more grateful to be part of this experience. Thank you so much Sophie for this amazing week.
