Hello, and Welcome
Sophie Borchers, C.P., LMT, Certified Coach
In all of my practices and offerings I aim to expand conscious awareness. An invitation to step beyond your place of comfort on the mat, in your body and in your mind. As you expand your consciousness your heart opens and it is from this heart space that that we live our fullest, most authentic and expressed self. That heart opening comes from a variety of practices, yoga, meditation, shiatsu, art, music, spirituality, religion, rituals, intentional time dedicated to the present moment. The magic happens when you take that new awareness and new found space and apply relentless action. Call it the rubber hitting the road, that direct impact is coaching.
As a life-long learner, I am in search of building and expanding a language of health that addresses the complexity of individuals as a whole. I seek to broaden my own lens and through that exploration share my knowledge with others. It is my goal to empower, support and draw out the best in each individual in order for them to discover and live life to it’s full potential. Wherever you are on your journey I welcome you to reconnect to your deeper self. Whether it is through yoga, shiatsu, coaching, or a combination of your own methods, you are exactly where you need to be. Join me in uncovering what you yearn for. Unraveling what you know. Discovering the possibilities. Embracing the true self and embarking on the life you’ve always wanted. I seek to elevate. In any way I can, I’m here to support and springboard your forward. Upwards and onward.
