Get to know me

I know that the seasons of conception, pregnancy, birth, and postpartum can bring so many emotions: excitement, fear, uncertainty, grief, pain and love. You might be carrying past trauma, feeling overwhelmed, or simply unsure of where to begin. You're not alone.

At Gentle Journeys, I offer a calm, compassionate space where you can feel heard, supported, and gently guided. Whether you're preparing for birth, processing a previous experience, or navigating the emotional shifts of motherhood, I'm here to walk alongside you.
I truly believe that even after trauma and grief, life can be rich with meaning, joy, and connection. Healing is possible and your journey matters.

"I saw Sophie after being diagnosed with postnatal depression and anxiety. I was hesitant to reach out and unsure what to talk about, but as soon as I sat down with Sophie it felt easy and natural, it was a safe space that I didn’t know how badly I needed. I was never met with judgement and I always appreciated how relatable she was. My time with Sophie became an important part of my recovery, it was more helpful than I could ever have imagined. I am so grateful for the compassion and grace that she gave me, when I couldn’t give it to myself."

“I don’t know how I would have made it through without Sophie. She walked beside me through a complicated pregnancy, a traumatic birth, and a challenging postpartum. Her calm presence, gentle wisdom, and deep compassion held me when I felt lost and broken. She never rushed my healing, but instead created space for me to process, feel, and slowly find peace. Even from afar, I always felt seen, heard, and safe in her care. Sophie not only guided me, but also supported my partner to advocate for me when I couldn’t speak for myself. Her support changed everything. I will carry my gratitude for her always.”

“After birth, I felt overwhelmed and lost, but Sophie’s guidance helped me navigate the emotions and challenges of those early weeks. I always felt heard, supported, and never alone.”
