If you’ve noticed my quiet corner of Instagram, thank you for your grace.

My heart has been busy in a new kind of service: motherhood. After 3 pregnancy losses and multiple implantation failures in 7 years—a journey that required every ounce of the calm and peace I teach—I’m finally here, holding my rainbow.

I’ve hesitated to share this fully, feeling the bittersweet weight of a success story knowing so many of you are still fighting in the trenches.

But as Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Week arrived, a deep pull called me back here. Back to remember. To acknowledge the spirit babies who taught me resilience. To honor the path of tears and hope that led me to this rainbow.

This space—my offering of calm and peace amidst the IVF journey—has felt both far away and incredibly close to my heart. Honestly, I’m not yet sure what the future holds for this account, or how I’ll balance my passion for supporting you with my new role.

But for this week, I needed to step in, to hold space for all of us. Because grief doesn’t magically disappear with a happy ending. It becomes a quiet companion, reminding us of the love that was and is.

My heart is with everyone navigating loss, whether it was yesterday or a decade ago. We carry them all.

I camw across this quote recently and reminded me of the many times that I have felt hopeless and in despair and the (equally) many times that I managed to pull myself out. But it was more than hope that got me moving forward - it was hope + faith + the inner knowing that I am exactly where I needed to be.

Sending love 🧡 to all those who are struggling to find hope in the midst of the fertility storm. I 👀 you!

✨ I’ve not been posting on the gram because I’m trying to find myself in this brand new chapter of my life and doing a lot of effing Inner work.

And unconsciously I’ve decided not to rush things, I’m taking it one day at time and I’m drop what does not serve me at this moment.

✨I did find myself going back to what grounds me to the present moment - Yoga + Writing. And within these 2 practices, I’ve re-started my morning self care ritual, not in full gusto - but 1-2, which are just enough to activate joy and inner peace every single day.

I have a lot of fears, well my lie is that I’m a scaredy cat., and re-aligning myself to Love is a daily WIP. And what is helping me - repeating mantras.

And this Acceptance prayer came through today from

And so I decided to pause my self-imposed IG detox to share this today, because I see you. 👀 I know you are trying to be strong, and if you are struggling with something in your life, Acceptance of what is and what is not - can be HARD.

✨My invitation is for you - just keep saying it in your heart, over and over again. It will rewire your subconscious mind and help plants kinder seeds to replace the negative thoughts.

I know, because I was a non-believer and now it calms my inner fears and this practice of Accepting; Letting go and Trusting the Universe - helps me sleep better at night.

Hope this is helpful. Drop a ❤️ in the comments if it is.

I know how hard this day can be - the not knowing, the anxiety, the fear, the doubts, and the waiting.......... the 2WW , waiting for the dreaded call after the blood test or the 3 mins after peeing on the stick.

And 2 things that has helped me survive is discovering the power of affirmations and surrendering, both of which I practised everyday during my 5 years of IVF.

Affirmations are like kind-loving seeds that you plant in your unconscious mind to quieten the negative thoughts that will constantly distract you from being in the energy of compasssion fose for self, peace and love.

And Surrendering is really not about giving up your dreams but about giving over the tension, giving over the need to control, giving over fear, giving over anything that you’ve been holding on tightly - to the care of the universe, or a higher power, or god whichever your faith is. And when you surrender you open your soul up for unwavering support and guidance from something way bigger than all of us.

We have to have faith, if not faith, trust that we are guided, protected, loved, and safe, no matter the outcome.

Life became easier when I realised that I can choose to be brave, and when I begin to trust that the universal has a bigger plan for me.❤️‍🩹

👼🏼Embaby Loss Awareness - someone needs to say it - so i’ll put it up here - you CAN grieve for your embaby.........

For your negative HCG, for those that didn’t survive the 5 days wait, the PGT testing, the thawing, chemical pregnancies, blighted o**m, and even follicles that didn’t grow........

They were part of you. Give yourself a moment to feel what you feel, and be proud of yourself for surviving one of the hardest moments in your life.

I see you. 👀 Hang in there.❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹

Love Sophie

💁🏻‍♀️Why you should your morning with a calming breath ?

My Doctor recently said to me that I’m a very good student because I followed her instructions to the book. That made me think about how I’ve changed because in the past, the doctor will tell me oh you need to drink more water, or eat less spicyfood, you need to relax. But I think I do, and then I forget. Or i dont do it.

But I think these past years going through IVF, optimising my health has been my top priority and I’m not ashamed to say I’m scared of getting old AND NOT being dependent on others.

So yes damn it, I will do what the doctor say because I want to get better. And EVERYDAY I commit to my 5 cycles of focused breathing BECAUSE I want to be better at managing my anxiety. Take it from me, it has helped. It’s not 100% fool proof but it has changed my mindset, my mood, my energy tremendously.

And because like you, I’m also very busy, so this is tried and tested, and it works for my busy lifestyle.

So come for my yoga class or follow me on instagram if you want more support.
