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, one which 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 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.
Using a harmonious blend of yoga, sound therapy and life coaching, we will 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)

Sophia holds space with a gentle and nurturing energy. During my private restorative yoga session with her, I was led into a deep state of rest and calm. She was attentive to my body’s needs and skillfully adjusted the poses accordingly to meet me where I was at. I received so much through the session and thoroughly recommend it for anyone who wants to experience deep, conscious rest.
