I am wildly in love with the possible magic at our fingertips when we dare enter our inner sanctuaries and remember who we are and what we know. When we see the beauty and capacity of our own powerful spirit, first hand.
There came a time when I could no longer “do life as programmed.” I had to reimagine a life in which soulful balance was regained or I was in trouble. My body rebelled first, before my head had time to put language to it.
I had been painting for while already, playing with colors and shapes in a very intuitive way. I never sought to reproduce existing works, I sought to connect within, even though I was not conscious of it at the time. It was natural curiosity. And an urgent need for self-expression and healing.
A series of deeply personal experiences led me to become aware of the presence of the Divine Feminine as a guide. I discovered that there was another way to live respectfully in balance with myself and all of life.
I discovered that the Divine was as proximate and alive as you and me and spoke directly to us. The experience came first through my hands, and I chose to trust it.
Today I dedicate my practice to teaching and guiding in a way that turns our soul flame back on, encouraging and celebrating the creative expression original to each of us so we can reclaim the gifts of our original essence and live colorful, soul-directed lives.
Here’s to you. I’m glad you’re here. With love,
“Sophie holds your hand not to lead but to steady you as you find your balance, your true path, and supports with the gifts of her art, her healing visions, her energetic observations, and insights with integrity, humility and humor. She is an amalgam of esoteric wisdom and the newest methods of inquiry and personal development. And that twinge of a French accent that seeds itself into her words from time to time produces a unique voice that is delightfully spirited, decisive, kind, and completely trusting in you and your ability. Sophie is a unique facilitator and artist that set me on a wider path of self-discovery and self-love for which I am so very grateful.”

“I met Sophie during a very difficult, life-changing event. A time where I had overwhelming emotions and thoughts, and could not find a way to release. Sophie is a gentle, caring person and an amazingly talented artist who helped me express things through her guidance and kindness. She helped me learn how to let what I was feeling through painting. I am so blessed and grateful for you Sophie and for the beautiful place you have created for self-expression.”

“The class was a fun, relaxing journey of self-discovery. It was like a guided meditation, interspersed with practical instruction in painting technique. It was a truly unique experience, unlike anything I have ever done. Sophie is a patient, encouraging teacher. I highly recommend this class experience to anyone, no matter their level of art expertise.”

“Knowing only a little bit about intuitive painting, I wanted to know more about the process; as I knew it was more about that than making a “perfect” painting. What I didn’t know was how much the process would take me deeper into my heart and emotions. When I look at the painting now, I feel a deeper connection to it. Painting this way also made me feel less judgmental about the piece and frankly, myself.”

“Sophie magically opened within me an inner freedom I was never able to tap into on my own.”

“Initially I was scared about painting the blank canvas. Sophie led us through a wonderful process of discovery, layering, and play that resulted in creating very personal (and beautiful) expressions that were fun, inspiring, and satisfying.”

“Your warm, approachable style creates a welcoming space, and encourages me to get out of my head and tap into my feelings. [The class] helped me connect with and accept the growth I’ve achieved. It also gave me hope and courage to keep traveling the path to wholeness.”
– Dan
“I did not know what to expect from the class as my expression is typically via writing. I was surprised as I started to paint that I could connect with inner feelings. I was able to express my struggles and reflect on the message my art gave me. I first judged my work in a negative light and then saw that what came out was a message of peace. I would highly recommend this to anyone who is struggling on their life’s path.”

“Sophie gently opens the door for us to explore what so many of us are longing for, and that is the time to reconnect with our true selves.”
