Meet Sophie

Hi, I’m Sophie

A woman and a man in a conversation inside a room with a whiteboard on the wall, a mirror, and potted plants.

If you feel stuck in cycles of overthinking, people-pleasing, or procrastination, you’re not alone, and you’ve come to the right place. I specialize in helping (secretly) ambitious people break free from the habits and mindsets that hold them back. Whether you’re managing anxiety, struggling with decisional fatigue, or navigating a big life change, my goal is to empower you with the tools and support you need to move forward with clarity and confidence.

Journey
& experience:

I bring 7 years of coaching experience across settings where the stakes are high and the human element is everything. From clinical healthcare to corporate boardrooms, my work is rooted in one truth: you cannot separate professional performance from personal well-being.

Experience Highlights

  • Behavioral Health & Wellness: At Galileo, I coached patients through evidence-based programs for mental and physical health, specializing in anxiety, depression, diabetes care, CHF, Insomnia.

  • Corporate & Career Coaching: Partnering with BetterUp and Ancora Health, I’ve guided professionals at all levels to build leadership skills and find a sustainable balance between growth and grit.

  • Burnout & Resilience: As a Core Coach with Inuka, I specialized in helping employees from global organizations like Booking.com and Ecover recover from chronic stress and build long-term resilience.

  • Clinical Research: At University Medical Center Groningen (UMCG), I contributed to behavioral health research, coaching patients navigating the complexities of neurological conditions.

The Steady Method

I’ve had the privilege of working with everyone from leaders at major global brands to private clients seeking a complete life pivot. This led me to create The Steady Method, a framework designed to bridge the gap between "knowing" and "doing."

Whether I am working with a high-level executive or someone managing a chronic health condition, my approach remains the same: I provide a safe, nonjudgmental space paired with a results-oriented framework for lasting, positive change.

Who I work with
& The problems we solve

Often, my clients are driven and hardworking, yet struggle with a persistent "something" preventing them from fully thriving. My coaching is designed to identify and tackle that “something” in a practical, compassionate way.

People often ask me why I became a coach. The answer is simple: I’m passionate about helping people feel happier in life and achieve everything their heart desires. I truly believe that everyone needs support in overcoming life’s hurdles, and that seeking help is a sign of strength, not weakness. I’ve seen firsthand how transformative coaching can be. There’s nothing more fulfilling than witnessing a client conquer a fear, have an “aha!” moment, or achieve something they never thought possible.
