Client Stories & Breakthroughs

Unfiltered feedback from the ambitious women building businesses they love.

“I started working with Sophie after I went full time with my business as was in a constant state of overwhelm and near burn out. With Sophie's unwavering support and guidance I have changed the structure of my business over the past 6 months so that I now run the business and it doesn't run me!! As a functional medicine doctor, I am a passionate advocate for having a good work life balance but this can be easier said than done when setting up a new business and making a life changing career change. Undoubtedly investing in business coaching was the most important and valuable decision in my start up phase and I shudder to think how I would be coping if I hadn't done this!

Thank you Sophie for all your support and enthusiasm for my business. Perhaps most importantly, I had loads of fun in the process!”

“I contacted Sophie after a recommendation from one of her clients. I was feeling like I could only operate at 30% and would naturally get in my own way about actually completing my ideas.

By nature I can do the dreaming but the practical and self belif WAS very foreign to me. This is where Sophie shines; I was able to practically map out a business idea, and then it was up to me to pull it off.

Sophie was there the whole way, supporting me with changing my own mindset and enabling me to take my learning and growing into my own hands.

I am able to now see things in a positive and practical look, allowing myself to map out a way to go into the wild world without Sophie.

I have launched my business, written a book and I am READY to complete my goals, all thanks to Sophie. Thank you!”

“Before working with Sophie, I was feeling a little frazzled and overwhelmed, unsure of the direction I wanted to take my business. I knew I wanted to build a successful business, helping, educating and empowering as many people as possible although I was totally stumped with how to do it, constantly comparing myself to others and feeling like I wasn't getting anywhere.

During our sessions, Sophie helped me clarify and restructure my unique offering, constantly supporting me along the emotional rollercoaster of self-doubt, self-belief and self-criticism.

Sophie has totally transformed my mindset, the way I structure my services and the direction I want to grow the business. I am running my business in a way I never thought possible and couldn't have done it without her help and support.

Working with Sophie has been the most incredible experience and I cannot recommend her enough!”

“Before my coaching with Sophie, I was plagued by fear of failing or someone realising I was a fraud, the classic imposter syndrome. I was working long long hours and every weekend, not being able to switch off, I had lost the enjoyment of what I was doing and had no clear understanding of 'why' anymore.

I was struggling with most was a complete lack of structure in business and my time meaning I spent a lot of time working ineffectively. I felt so overwhelmed that I had no idea what to do or where to start so did more procrastination and then felt guilty.

The best thing I have taken away affects many areas of my personal and business life but in a nutshell, it is understanding myself and my business more.

Now I use my mornings for self-care and give myself proper lunch breaks and well deserved time off in lieu. Its been a brilliant journey and I've learned a lot about myself and my business.”

“Before I started coaching with Sophie I felt stuck, I wanted to move forward with what I was building and trying to achieve but I had what seemed like an endless supply of conflicting thoughts, self-doubt and general lack of motivation.

Working with Sophie was like holding a mirror up to myself unravelling my true self from within. It wasn't creating a list of actions to achieve, it felt like creating foundations upon which I was going to build my future. Since working with Sophie, I do more of what aligns with me and worry less about what other people think. This has enabled me to relax hugely and continue building my own business in a way that is fun and authentic to me.

Sophie supported me by working through some of the tough questions I hadn't asked myself. She challenged me where needed and continued to hold that mirror up on things I had never even recognised before.”

“I wanted to make contact with you just to give you an update on where I am now in my journey which all started with a phone call to you, to discuss the 1:1 coaching sessions and going ahead with them. You really have helped me make life changes!

I have 2 weeks left working with my old company until I become a full-time Classical Pilates instructor, having qualified with Equinox back in May. I will be working for them and have a few other freelance teaching opportunities in talks as well.

I am super excited to embrace this new way of life and wanted to thank you for the guidance and work that helped me change my mindset and make things happen!!

A really big THANK YOU”

“The 'Make it Happen' programme has been an awe-inspiring experience, as well as a truly valuable investment. Being part of a conversant group of like-minded individuals has greatly assisted me to better navigate the steps on my own side hustle journey. Not only do they inspire you to remain committed to your goals, they continually spur you on as your side hustle cheerleaders.

I began Mastermind as a complete novice - curious with no clear direction and overwhelmed with self-limiting beliefs. Sophie provided a space for me to dig deeper and move through the blocks I was experiencing. This has resulted in me gaining the confidence to take positive action towards my goals. I have now launched my own side hustle business and already landed 4 clients in a short space of time.

I am so grateful to Sophie for giving me the tools in order to move my business forward and provide a support platform to keep me accountable.”

“When I qualified as a Nutritional Therapist I wanted to start my side hustle but didn't know where to begin. I felt overwhelmed, wasn't confident about how much to charge for my services and didn't know if I could do it.

Working with Sophie helped me to address my limiting beliefs, the mindset around money and highlight my values to help to become a thriving, authentic solopreneur and offer my clients the support they deserve.”
