Hi, I'm Sophie. I'm English but I lived in France for 12 years and have lived in Mauritius for 10 years (I'm bilingual in English and French).
I am a happily divorced solo mum of 2 teens with autistic and ADHD traits (I am quirky too and am probably ND).
In 2023 I chose to walk away from my husband of nearly 20 years and our millionaire lifestyle. (I finally realised he was a narcissist, and what I thought were my failings was his systematic psychological, financial and s*xual abuse over 19 years.)
At the start of 2026 I celebrated my 50th birthday and I've never felt so happy in my life or so comfortable in my skin and in who I am.
I'm a life / relationship / parenting / work coach with a difference. I have likely been where you are and know exactly what you are going through.
I combine lived experience with textbook knowledge as I'm a fan of going on deep dives on the subjects I coach in (hello ADHD!).
I've been to hell and back on my own journey, coming out stronger and more fearless than ever. My goal in life? To LIVE it, not just exist 🥳
I have experienced miscarriage, abuse, failed businesses, my children's trauma and probable neuro-divergence, nearly dying in childbirth, moving countries with my kids 4 times (twice as a solo mum), a traumatic divorce, rebuilding my life from scratch aged 47 after leaving my marriage and much more.
I have been an entrepreneur and an employee in 3 countries, including heading a team of 10 at one point.
I've been a working mum, stay-at-home mum and work at home mum.
When I had my second baby I left the corporate world and retrained as a childminder. I've always felt a close affinity with children and young people. One of my many jobs in France was teaching English as a foreign language, and these days I'm a scout leader in Mauritius in my spare time. I do a lot of work with children, teens and parents.
I am a life-long learner and avid reader. In recent years I have done a deep dive into autism, ADHD and narcissists.
As for my work experience, let’s just say it’s pretty varied…
I have been a bilingual PA, English as a foreign language teacher, global PR manager, Senior Account Director in a digital marketing agency, copy-writer, fiction-writer, proof-reader, childminder, translator, blogger, published author, and motivational speaker.
I have run a luxury travel agency, created online courses as well as organising and running a retreat on a different continent.
I am the founder of group online programme and community for women, Life Reboot Camp.
The UK's Sunday Mirror newspaper called me a Happiness Expert when they featured my happiness tips a few years ago.
For 8+ years I've coached people from all over the world in every area of life, relationships, parenting and work.
My clients have described me as the best friend who makes you laugh but tells it like it is, a mum with the best advice, a big sister, coach, counsellor, cheerleader and more.
There are various ways I help people with the curveballs that life throws them: e-guides, a group programme, individual coaching and speaking.
My e-guides are:
* 7 day happiness plan
* Level up your life
* Fall (back) in love with your life in 10 days (for mums who have lost themselves)
My Life Reboot Camp is a group online programme and community for women worldwide and features short video lessons spread over 6 modules, an active and supportive WhatsApp group and weekly live calls (workshops or group coaching).
In my 1-2-1 coaching I offer 1 hour video / audio calls as well as ongoing WhatsApp text support on a monthly basis.
I give talks online and in person in Mauritius on all the areas mentioned above and more!
