About Me

"My first joyful Nia experience, over 10 years ago, stirred a deep knowing that extraordinary transformation can happen when we authentically express ourselves through movement. Nia reignited my childhood enthusiasm for dance, theatre and creative arts and my lifelong passion for learning and for helping others to step into their potential."

The first Australian to hold a Nia Black Belt, Sophie brings a playful, dynamic and inclusive energy, empowering students to co-create their own experience within the form of Nia.  Her classes and playshops offer a fun-filled energising workout, a nurturing path to well-being, a powerful and liberating release, a welcoming community. Sophie thrives on learning, teaching and connecting with people of all ages and backgrounds. In addition to open classes, she also shares Nia with high school girls, seniors' groups, women's circles and children.

Sophie's experience in business management and staff development in both corporate and community sectors add to her practice and presentation of Nia. Since bringing Nia home to Queensland in 2004, she has pioneered a burgeoning Australia-wide Nia community and advocates for Nia’s integration into local education, fitness, health and therapeutic settings. Professional development includes annual Nia Intensives, training in freestyle group fitness, Pilates matwork, The ChiBall Method, Womanhood Leadership facilitation and energy healing.
