1-on-1 dream consultations
Oftentimes we dream vividly as children. During the day and during the night. Our imaginations are so engaged, we are naturals at making things up and navigating the dreamlands.
But “life happens”, we “grow up”, and we’re schooled out of dreaming. “It’s just a dream,” we’re told.
Or life gets so tough, we lose track of our magical child who knows how to walk in the starlight.
Thankfully dreaming doesn’t go away, and it comes back to us when we choose to make it matter again. Reclaiming our dreams is reclaiming the vivid and potent imagination of the night.
And since we spend about a third of our lives asleep, that’s time to take a good look under the hood of your daily ride.
Personally, I dream to go home to the deeper parts of myself that don’t get much air-time during the day. I choose active dreaming to continue engaging with my consciousness in the deep waters of physical rest.
There, I have a chance to get feedback on my choices, workshop ideas, watch the trailer of my next creative project, get inspiration, connect with forces lovingly watching over me, watch over someone else who needs loving presence, face my fears and grow more courageous.
Dreaming is rehearsal ground that can help us navigate our waking lives with more information, support, and creativity.
Dreaming with intention, or the practice of active dreaming, is another form of art we can all benefit from.
If you are interested in reconnecting with your dreams in a life-affirming way, I offer 1:1 dream consultations to support you.
“As a person who has written down dreams for some time but struggled to unveil their deeper meaning, I entered into my dreamwork time with Sophie as, essentially, a newcomer. Sophie’s gentle guidance was clear and accessible from the moment I sent my first snippet of a dream to her. She provided playful prompts that led me to explore my inner world with love and just enough information to uncover deep treasure within my nighttime story. I explored a dream that scared and frustrated me and Sophie led me to discover a sacred gift it held — including wisdom from an unlikely source. This experience was a wonderful entryway for me to see the power my dreams hold and how they connect to my waking life. Sophie is an experienced dream coach who will guide you to unveil the richness of your nighttime adventures!”

“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.”

“I love my painting. It glows.”

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

I had a great experience at Painted Love last night with Sophie! I really enjoyed the steps that were taken to get us to our final masterpieces! Painting is so fun, calming and simply relaxing! I will definitely be returning for another session!

“Thank you for expanding our ways of seeing things beyond the images we see 🍀☘️”
– Colleen
“The retreat with Sophie and our intimate group was really wonderful for me. Throughout the day I so enjoyed the process & also the finished painting I created by the end. Sophie is a wonderful & gifted teacher. I felt very pleased and happy when I left!”

“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.”
– Ellen
“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.”
– Patty
“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.”
