radical and inclusive love.
About sophie
Sophie is a Facilitator, Coach, Spiritual Director, and lifelong Teacher.
Originally from New England, in areas home to the Nicmuc, Pocumtuc, Wampanoag, Wabanake, and Abenake people, Sophie's love of the outdoors became a foundation of her spirituality and fueled her first career as a professional mariner.
Sophie draws from over 30 years’ leadership experience with non-profits, professional organizations, and faith communities, and as an educator in experiential education and classroom settings. Most recently she was awarded the President's Award from the Washington Mediation Association and has recognition across her community for her in-depth and high quality coaching and training programs.
Sophie believes there is a natural intersection between Leadership, Spirituality, and Wellness, and when we can tend to all three, we restore our potential to thrive. As a survivor of trauma, chronic illness, and a highly sensitive nervous system, Sophie walks her talk, grounding her approach with each individual in principles of recovery and transformative (vs. surface-level) wellness.
Sophie lives with her partner in the Puget Sound area of Washington State, home to the Coast Salish people. In her spare time, Sophie enjoys gardening, entertaining friends, advocating for a re-visioned future, and pursuing her endless curiosity of the sacred.
Education & Training
Sophie has over 15 years’ experience facilitating, teaching, and coaching those in the midst of conflict. In addition to being a lifelong educator, Sophie's professional training and certifications include a Masters in Divinity and ordination with the United Church of Christ, Conflict Coaching & Facilitation, Mediation, Trauma Recovery, Integrated Energy Therapy, and Systemic Constellations Facilitation.
faith Background
Sophie identifies as a contemplative Christian who answers both the call of the mystic and the activist. Her faith journey encompasses Nature-based spirituality, Progressive Christianity, and the study of both contemplative and revolutionary masters from numerous traditions.
At all times Sophie strives to build bridges between how we are and how we are called to be as practitioners of radical and inclusive love. For guidance on building these bridges Sophie turns to both mystics and founders of liberation, womanist, and queer theology past and present.
