Ambition has always come naturally to me.

I think it’s in part due to all my Aries energy (sun/venus/mercury), but being born and raised in NYC certainly contributed to my ease with a ‘do more, be more, achieve more’ way of life.

Not to mention the constant, nagging whisper in my head that I couldn’t quit for *years*. Despite a perfect-on-paper life with a glitzy startup job, a sunlight drenched West Village NYC apartment, and a big social network, that voice never stopped reminding me— “There’s got to be more than this.”

Then, my parents got divorced. A major life defining moment that forced me to make ME and my needs a part of my goals. When traditional talk therapy didn’t move the needle as much as I wanted, I took matters into my own hands and explored other avenues of support.

I went on to become a yoga teacher, studying yoga philosophy as well as spirituality. Then, I wanted to understand the mind from a more main-stream perspective and got a Master’s Degree in Psychology from Columbia University.

It wasn’t until I formally studied astrology that the nagging whisper to find “more” quieted for good. Because I finally had a language and framework for understanding myself and others in a way that included the SOUL.

Since then, I have built out an array of tools that address the body, mind, soul, emotions, and spirit so that my practical and ambitious, yet spiritually curious clients can receive whole person wellness support too.

It is my mission to help you remember:

 

01

You are a multidimensional, multifaceted being. (Soul first, human second!)

 

02

You are not meant to be “on” all the time and deserve to feel safe when you rest.

 

03

You get to do life your way, and you don’t need to choose between yourself and your dreams.

 

04

You get to feel good NOW, not when you get “there”. (Also, there is no “there”)

Let’s make this kind of life your reality, together.

Let’s Work Together

Kind Words

  • I left the session feeling clarity and excitement for a new creative project. Since then, I was able to move forward on that project (much quicker than I usually would!) and I got great feedback from the person hiring me! Maybe that would have happened without this session, maybe not. But what I know I gained from this session is confidence and that makes the creative process much more joy filled and far less anxious. I'm so grateful!"

  • “It’s pretty evident that Sofia draws on her other healing modalities (in addition to her extensive knowledge about astrology) in sessions to provide insight, and food for thought - she knows where to probe! I have since gotten readings from her twice a year and will continue to do so because the journey continues and the juice is worth the squeeze with her!”

  • “Sofia has a naturally grounded presence that makes you feel safe and supported. Working with Sofia helped me get clearer on what lights me up and helped me visualize the action needed to move forward."
