About Hampshire Holistic
Hampshire Holistic is my holistic wellbeing practice, which ties together my skills, passions, and experience to help others.
As a qualified sound healing practitioner, beauty therapist, and coach, my experience blends beautifully to support individuals, especially women, who experience overwhelm and exhaustion but want to feel calm, confident, and in control of their life.
My Story
Hi, I'm Sophie. Twenty years ago I qualified as a beauty therapist and fell completely in love with the work — the warmth of a treatment room, the laughter, the quiet joy of giving someone real permission to rest. Being present with people felt like home.
Then life pulled me in a different direction. For fifteen years I chased what I thought success was supposed to look like — career progression, recognition, achievement. And from the outside, it probably looked like it was working.
But inside? I was exhausted, anxious, and so busy making everyone else comfortable that I had completely lost sight of myself.
I faced burnout — not once, but twice. I battled imposter syndrome, grief, and the relentless inner voice that told me I was simultaneously too much and not enough. I kept smiling, kept delivering, kept performing. Sound familiar?
"I had people-pleased my way to invisibility.
Why wasn't I happy? Why did nothing ever feel like it was enough?"
Training as a coach and sound healing practitioner cracked something open...
For the first time, I stopped asking what should I be doing? and started asking who am I, really?
Through deep self-discovery I began to understand myself in ways I never had before. I realised my life and my values were completely out of alignment. I had been abandoning myself for years.
And the sensitivity I'd been told was a weakness my whole life? It wasn't the problem. It was my greatest gift. I just needed to learn how to work with it, not against it.
Coming back to myself led me back to the work I had always loved — being with people, fully present, face to face. Finding connection with others who just get it.
That is exactly who Hampshire Holistic is for.
You don't have to keep white-knuckling it through life...
If you're a sensitive, empathic woman who's tired of overthinking everything, tired of the anxiety that never quite goes away, tired of shrinking yourself to keep the peace — I want you to know:
The way you feel things isn't a flaw.
It's a superpower that's been running without support for too long. At Hampshire Holistic, I offer you something rare: a space that is entirely, unapologetically yours. No performing. No people-pleasing. No pretending.
Sound Healing
I earned an internationally recognised and IPHM-accredited diploma in sound healing from Sound Healing School UK. This qualifies me to offer both group and 1:1 sound healing sessions globally.
I runs monthly sound baths in Petersfield, Hampshire, and Westbourne, West Sussex. More details.
I also collaborate with other wellness businesses, studios, retreat organisers, and Yoga and Pilates instructors.
Coaching
I undertook coaching training after my own experience with burnout. Having benefited from working with a coach, I wanted to learn how to develop my skills to support others.
My coaching focuses on working with women who are trapped in cycles of people-pleasing, over-giving, and exhaustion, helping you make manageable changes without feeling guilty.
Hands on Treatments
Starting my career as a beauty therapist over 20 years ago, and training in complementary therapies, I went on to mentor seasonal beauty therapists for an award-winning luxury tour operator.
Now I offer bespoke Swedish, Aromatherapy and Indian Head massages, as well as Facials - all using Neal's Yard products, which are organic and cruelty-free.
The opposite of a busy high street salon experience, my treatments focus on the individual and how they feel, not aesthetics.
