Testimonial offerings about Sofiah’s work.
"Sofiah is an intuitive and welcoming host. She created a workshop that was intune with each individual´s needs and as a group. Having found the workshop by chance, it was the perfect space to stop on my travels and connect with an inspiring collection of people. She has created an enchanting studio where you can come and relax and feel safe. I tried new exercises and dances, and the workshop for me as a whole was a highly empowering experience!"

"That was one of the best massages I have ever had! Sofiah has a strong and subtle touch, combined with confidence and a wonderful intuitive sense."
Scott Rodwin, Massage Therapist and Archetict -Boulder, Colorado
"I have been under a lot of stress for a few weeks and could feel it affecting different parts of my body, mainly my heart. Sofiah does amazing work with her hands and heart; binging me into relaxation and working on different areas, guiding me with my conscious deep breathing and focused release. Both of my arches in the bottom of my feet were sore to the touch, she worked and released the pain- my body became engulfed with a sense of calmness and peace. I could feel the energy coming directly from her heart. I was having difficulty breathing prior to the session, after sofiah’s loving work, i felt the area around my heart open up and breathing became easy again. I went into a s semi conscious state at the end of the session and saw the color deep blue in my minds eye, it was very meditative."

This testimonial is for a one on one movement session i did with her…
"I had such an amazing and unique experience dancing with Sofiah. I felt so fully welcomed and seen by her, immediately upon entering her beautiful studio space. At the time, I was experiencing some pain in my foot. I was quite touched by Sofiah’s compassion for that experience, and her invitation to me to dance in a way that honored the discomfort while still entering an unrestricted and expansive flow. The dance itself was incredible — with her gentle, empathic and deeply intuitive guidance, I was able to move so freely, allowing my inner experience to surface and transform in the dance. I moved through a great deal of energy, ending in an incredible space of open-heartedness. I so much appreciate Sofiah’s powerful work with me. She is a deeply connected and embodied priestess!"

"I got more out of a one-on-one movement session with Sofiah than I would have gotten out of hours of talk therapy. She has an ability to create and hold space where anything can come up. She tells you so and you know you can believe her. Movement has a way of letting me access the unconscious, the inarticulatable, in a powerful way. Exploring movement in the presence of Sofiah’s intuition, her ability to be present, and her openness, is truly a gift. I’m grateful to have crossed paths with her. Weeks later, the subtle, nuanced shifts the session catalyzed are still being felt"

What joy to move through Sofiah’s Embody Grace class! I love the opportunity to tune in to myself; trust, as she often says, that my body knows exactly how to move in every moment; and play in that space of expressing myself without masks, even from myself. Each class is like a moving meditation, and I watch myself experience everything from pure, child-ful glee to deep mourning and grief. When I come out the other side, I feel I know myself better, and that I have participated in a communal celebration of our respective and collective spirits.

"I found myself awakening new and beautiful spirit-directed movements through Sofiah’s gentle reminders of the simple and profound and even bold truths within my own body. Like daylight that warms the flower to open just that little bit more - our work together has ripened my feminine identity and infused me with more joy, trust and love."
