Hi, I’m Anne-Sophie (Anna Sofia), a life coach, energy healer, somatics & embodiment teacher, writer and DJ, with a B.A. in journalism. I started with yoga 20 years ago and took the training in the Himalayas in 2013, plus another one in Europe in 2014. I’ve always had a deep interest in shamanism and a high level of intuition and „seeing“ skills, so I studied at the Foundation for Shamanic Studies and with other European shamans that work without plants.
Further courses in kinesiology, energy healing, bodywork, relationship and life coaching, as well as Vedic and Mayan astrology followed and many years in Asia and Central America.
Most transformational were two years at a holy cave in the Himalayas learning from an ancient sage, who cooked for me over the fire every day. After that, I published „A Simple Book For A Simple Life – An Oracle from the Himalayan Sages“, short messages that came trhough in meditation that work like an oracle.
Equally impactful was spending a year and a half in Mexico, learning about the Mayan Calendar and feminine leadership, DJing, holding cacao ceremonies, and visiting many temples. It was also impactful in deepening my understanding how liberating sexual energy has a lot to do with personal empowerment, something that I had only learned in distorted ways through tantra workshops before. The Mayas and the calendar showed also clearly how important community building is and the synchronization of the heart-rhythm of a group, such as through cacao ceremonies to ensure a peaceful environment where everybody develops their full capacities.
I work a lot with dance, music, and somatics / embodiment. Everything is connected and that’s how a I treat it. What I find works best in coaching and 1:1 sessions is a comination of engaging body, mind, and spirit to find true ease in a light-hearted and playful way. The higher the vibration, the better the solutions. So by bringing in dance, movement, and light-hearted questioning to reframe emotionally (stuck) situations, while keeping a clear focus on what the outcome should be, things can shift pretty fast. Nobody is an island and in that way, also the head, the heart, and the body are no islands.
Over the years, I’ve lead retreats and trainings in the Sahara desert, India, Sri Lanka, Mexico, Thailand, and online, and have given workshops, 1:1 sessions, courses, and press coverage on Insight Timer, Bali Spirit Festival, Xperience Festival, Baltic Tantra Festival, Boom Festival and Agape Zoe.
