Sophie is a certified personal trainer and a performance anxiety coach, training performers in both physical and mental strength. With her unique background of vocal performance, fitness, and psychology, Sophie understands the difficulties of functioning within a high-stress/high-performance environment. She works with clients to address the everyday stressors of work-life balance, performance anxiety, burnout, and imposter syndrome. Sophie emphasizes a holistic, client-first approach, acknowledging that there is no "one-size-fits-all" solution. Her coaching style draws from the researched-backed techniques of cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, mindfulness-based stress reduction therapy, and positive psychology. As most anxiety comes from a preoccupation with the past or future, Sophie helps to redirect to the present moment and encourages action steps to help clients move toward a brighter future, using each client’s unique set of strengths and values as a strong foundation for growth. Emphasizing the mind-body connection, she provides her clients with mental and physical techniques to calm the nervous system and decrease chronic stress. In addition to coaching, Sophie has worked for 7+ years as an in-home and online personal trainer and a group fitness instructor. Her training style centers around building functional fitness and core strength. Routines focus on core training, balance, alignment, and building the major muscle groups. Her goal as a trainer is to help you move throughout your day pain-free. Sophie holds a Master's degree in Psychology from Pepperdine University, a Master's degree in Vocal Performance from New York University, and a Bachelor's degree in Vocal Performance from New England Conservatory. She is a certified Personal Trainer (National Academy of Sports Medicine), a certified Fitness Nutrition Specialist (National Academy of Sports Medicine), and a certified Corrective Exercise Specialist (National Academy of Sports Medicine).
