about
a gentle pace
Hi there,
My name is Sophia, the founder of A Gentle Pace.
The inspiration behind a gentle pace was shaped by my own healing journey after experiencing the loss of my baby daughter.
Navigating life after a baby loss made me realised the limitation of resources on grief, especially for bereaved parents. Grief, I've learned, is really just love. Losing a baby is one of the deepest sorrows a heart can know as it goes against the natural order of life.
It is during these darkest nights of my soul, that I began looking into community care resources using the knowledge I have gained over the years as a wellness practitioner. This will later become the backbone of
A Gentle Pace, a mindfulness coaching platform that is deeply rooted in compassion and understanding because I know what it is like to live with big feelings.
I also hope you will find this place as a source of comfort to know that moving forward with life where grief and joy co-exist, is possible. As long as we have the courage to walk through it.
At A Gentle Pace, it is our vision to empower individuals to take ownership of their wellness. We hope to be a sanctuary where individuals can explore the concept of intentional living and for anyone who may be going through the complexities of grief, anxiety or fears in their fertility journey.
We offer a harmonious blend of yoga, sound therapy and mindfulness life coaching and guide you towards moments of pause, where you can simply breathe, heal, and thrive no matter which season of life you find yourself in.
"Love and understanding are the lotuses that bloom from the mud of suffering. Without the mud, there is no lotus flower. The lotus needs mud to grow. Understanding and compassion are possible only when we've come in touch with suffering."
- Thich Nhat Hanh (No Mud, No Lotus)
Wherever you are, you can choose to begin again.
Start by choosing to be in your joy, to love and nurture yourself tenderly.
Allow yourself to immerse in the vibrations of the Himalayan Singing Bowls for a deeply nourishing and healing experience. Each sound healing session will help to release trapped energy stored around our bodies.
Allow yourself to create
movement through yoga as a powerful way to shift your mood and energy. Each practice will encourage us to take time to listen to our body, breathe and move in ways that feels good to us.
Allow yourself to be supported by a coach that empowers you to get more clarity on your inner GPS. Each coaching session will guide you to tune inward and discover the next step to living your intentional life.

It’s my first time going through professional coaching, and Sophia’s life coaching made me expand my perspective on coaching itself - to face my inner fear, be vulnerable but yet rekindle the sense of empowerment that each of us have to take control of situations that happen in our life that may cause inner doubts and uncertainties. I felt some form of reassurance and clearer direction too through her coaching session that serves as guiding footsteps in my life, and that there’s hope to eventually be at that state of life that I aspire to be. Thank you Sophia!
