Hi, I’m Sophie
I will inspire you to reach the sky and motivate you throughout your transformation journey.
What can you expect from me?
Be met by a friend, not a therapist.
Follows a recognized framework by Stanford Life Design Lab to create and drive change.
Applies mindfulness coaching that honors women.
A coach does not replace clinical help ie. a psychologist
However, if you need moral support, a plan to achieve your goal, and someone to keep you focused, then we are a good match.
Design Thinking led innovation, development, and change
The Double Diamond is a clear, comprehensive, and visual description of the design process invented in 2003.
When applied to personal development, these phases can be adapted to foster self-awareness, goal-setting, creative problem-solving, and resilience.
Uplifting
My aim in every meeting will be first to get you out of your head. As much as our thoughts and feelings are valid, they have often held us down in fear. You will be met with a shoulder to cry on, but also with strong optimism.
Creative
You can expect a soulful yet creative process of self-discovery. Visualize your goals and obstacles to make them easier to understand. Put a word/image to how you feel, and watch that emotion calm down.
Baby-steps
Real change happens incrementally. Try it out on a small scale and fail a few times before committing to it on a larger scale. Additionally, surround yourself with a small group of people who are committed to your transformation.
Enduring
Learn how to balance logic and intuition to navigate change's inevitable ups and downs. Get tips for maintaining momentum and a positive mindset through your change journey, and plan for your next steps.
About Sophie
Multicultural and socially conscious
I’m Los Angeles-born, raised in Indonesia, and of Chinese heritage. I was sent away when I was 12 to Singapore due to social unrest. I’m fascinated by family, ancestry, and cultural origin; we are more connected than we thought.
I actively pursue back-to-basic living from childbirth, consumption, and hygiene practice, hoping to reconnect with our fundamental nature.
Today, I live in Oslo, Norway with my husband and two girls.
I’ve 10+ years of experience in Design Thinking and Human-centered approach
I’m passionate about deconstructing social problems and understanding human behavior. By doing so, I discover what motivates individuals. This is the foundation of successful product/service design in driving behavior change.
I am a User Experience and Service Designer with international experience in product & service, business, and organizational design. Driving transformation through incremental behavior change is what I do.
I’m a certified yoga, meditation, and prenatal yoga teacher (MYTT285)
My training gave me the confidence to be myself, dream big, and create the life that I want to live. Since 2023, I’ve found that I love helping others go on that journey. I have since taught Hatha and Yin yoga, and meditation classes.
