About Me

Two images of a woman showing before and after transformation that came from regulating her nervous system and changing her mindset

I've never seen any life transformation that didn't begin with the person in question finally getting tired of their own bullshit.”
- Elizabeth Gilbert


Hi, I’m Sophia.

I haven’t always been a ‘magnetic’ person.

In fact, I used to be the most cripplingly insecure, self-conscious and self-critical person I knew.

I struggled with my mental health for most of my life.

From my early teens until my early 20s, I experienced chronic and severe mental health issues including depression, anxiety, OCD and anorexia nervosa (an eating disorder which saw me hospitalised and which I was sick with for almost 10 years).

Basically, you name it - I had it.

I never felt like I fit in as a kid. I was a bit weird and I didn’t look like the girls I saw in the playground or on TV.

I didn’t know any women, or have any role models around me, who talked about self-love. I assumed all women hated themselves and that was normal.

It wasn’t until my mid-20s, when two consecutive (very painful) heartbreaks revealed to me what my problem really was.

I was creating my own suffering and it was time for me to go inward and do some work.

I was on a mission to transform my life, improve my self-dialogue and manifest my dreams.

From that moment, my whole life changed.

I started to manifest incredible gifts, opportunities, people and experiences into my life. My heart started to expand. Doors started to open. Things just started… happening.

I knew I wanted to coach and share the techniques I had learned with women around the world. That’s where Becoming Magnetic has come from.

Years of research, tried and tested techniques, trial and error and scientific literature and spiritual practices that I’ve used to take myself from surviving to thriving.

My Experience

I have worked in the coaching and wellbeing space for over five years, first as a personal trainer and fitness instructor, then as a personal development/wellbeing workshop facilitator for young people and finally as a breathwork instructor and wellbeing coach.

I have a background in journalism (Bachelor of Comms/Journalism) - which has made me thorough in my research and determination to understand how the Universe, our brains, bodies, hearts and minds function.

My Becoming Magnetic Program combines my years of experience as a coach and wellbeing workshop facilitator with heavily researched, peer-reviewed, tried and tested techniques supported by experts in spiritual and scientific fields.
