A healer does not heal you. A healer is someone who holds space
while you awaken your inner healer,
so that you may heal yourself
~ Maryam Hasna
Hey, I’m Sophie. I’m here to support and empower women through life’s many cycles, helping you reconnect with yourself through holistic practices. At Nurturing You, we embrace the beauty of change and growth, just as nature does.
I’ve always been a deeply sensitive soul, someone who feels everything intensely. That sensitivity has been both a gift and a guide, leading me on a journey I could never have planned.
“I’ve come to see that we are nature—always shifting, growing, and adapting.” |

In 2013, I left my home in Wales with a surfboard and a sense of adventure, ready to explore the world. Teaching has always been close to my heart, and as a qualified ESL teacher, I loved sharing knowledge wherever I went.
In 2014, Morocco called to me. After several trips, I booked a one-way ticket, trusting the pull of my intuition. It was there I met Morad, my now husband, and we began building a life together. For eight years, we ran our surf and yoga retreat business, welcoming guests from around the world. Those years were transformative. They deepened my yoga practice and opened the door to holistic healing. I explored Reiki, meditation, and eventually completed a 200-hour Anusara Yoga Teacher Training that sparked a fire within me.
Life continued to evolve. We built a retreat villa, welcomed our daughter Norah into the world in 2020, and I dove into the world of prenatal yoga, finding incredible grounding during my pregnancy.

“Tracking my cycle became an anchor during the hormonal shifts of postpartum life, helping me feel more connected and in tune with myself.”
After Norah’s birth, I started to pay closer attention to my menstrual cycle. I began tracking my emotions, energy, thoughts, and moods, noticing the ebb and flow as I moved through each phase. It became an anchor during the hormonal shifts of postpartum life, helping me feel more connected and in tune with myself.
In 2022, we moved back to the UK. That year brought profound loss when my father passed away suddenly. My world turned upside down, and for a time, I felt completely untethered. Grief has a way of reshaping you, and while those years were some of the hardest of my life, they also taught me about resilience, love, and the constancy of change.

“Grief has taught me that change is the only constant, and through it, I’ve learned to embrace the cycles of life.”
Through it all, I’ve come to see that we are nature—always shifting, growing, and adapting. The concept of inner seasons has been a source of comfort and inspiration, mirroring the cycles we see in the world around us.
“My offerings are an opportunity for you to step into nature and connect more deeply with your own rhythms and cycles.”
Holistic Support for Women
Through my personal journey over the last few years, I’ve realized a deep desire to provide holistic support for women both on and off the mat. I feel called to offer yoga and subtle body practices designed for the feminine form, through all its phases and cycles.
More recently, I’ve discovered how much I need to be outdoors, and how invaluable this connection to nature is for my own journey. My offerings are an opportunity for you to step into nature and connect more deeply with your own rhythms and cycles.
Although we’ve moved back to the UK, we still run our surf and yoga business in Morocco, helping people organize retreats in this beautiful and inspiring setting. If you’re looking to host a retreat or visit, I’d love to assist in making it an unforgettable experience.
I am also furthering my studies in yoga for women’s health, restorative yoga, somatics, and yoga to empower your menopause journey. These areas of focus allow me to deepen the support I can offer to women at every stage of life.

Creative Empowerment Workshops & Mentorship
In addition to my yoga and wellness offerings, I am passionate about supporting women in business as a creative mentor. With a background in photography and business coaching, I weave together wellness practices and creative exploration to empower women to embrace their unique journeys.
“I believe every woman holds within her a reservoir of creative energy— her ‘Shakti’—that, when nurtured, can spark transformative growth both personally and professionally.”
As the facilitator of the Creative Empowerment Workshops and seasonal retreats, I create nurturing and inspiring spaces for women to reconnect with themselves, their visions, and their natural cycles. Through yoga, meditation, storytelling, and practical business tools, I guide women to honor their individuality, cultivate self-trust, and bring their heart-led ideas to life. My mission is to help women navigate the balance between rest and productivity, contraction and expansion, and to remind them that their uniqueness is their greatest power.
“Your uniqueness is your greatest power. When you trust your intuition, you can create a life that truly aligns with who you are.”
Whether guiding a yoga class, leading a workshop, or simply holding space for reflection, I encourage women to step into their creativity, trust their intuition, and craft businesses—and lives—that align with their authentic selves.
A Philosophy Rooted in Nature
I believe every woman has an innate wisdom—a quiet voice within—that sometimes just needs a little help being heard. My goal is to create spaces where you feel safe, seen, and empowered to reconnect with that part of yourself. Whether it’s through yoga, energy work, or simply taking a moment to pause, I’m here to walk alongside you.
“Nature inspires everything I do. Its rhythms, its seasons, its ability to adapt and flourish—they remind us of who we are and what we’re capable of.”

You speak to so many mothers, and there just isn't enough support out there. I joined Sophie's classes during my pregnancy and after giving birth - you have no idea how much they helped. Not just physically but also mentally.
The online sessions and Sophie's incredible skill set helped me in such a direct way, and I don't know where else I could have found the level of support that Sophie offered me on such a deep and connected level.
It felt such a safe space to be a part of.
