About Me
and Eye of the Storm Coaching
Hi, my name is Sofia and I am a coach and a therapist.
My coaching approach encompasses a wide range of areas, including life transitions, career development, relationship enhancement, and psychedelic integration support.
I also specialize in addressing challenges such as stress management, self-esteem, personal growth, and spiritual exploration. At Eye of the Storm Coaching, I am committed to creating a safe and inclusive environment for individuals from all walks of life.
Born in Moscow into a Jewish family, I later lived in Israel in my twenties before settling in both Boulder, Colorado, and part-time in New York City. My journey began with a degree in law in Moscow, where I passionately engaged in human rights activism, advocating for justice through various means, including observing elections and participating in protest rallies against corruption.

Yet, despite my dedication to external causes, I eventually realized I was neglecting my inner world, grappling with anxiety and ADHD. This realization spurred me on a journey of self-discovery and transformation.
Discovering the power of body practices like yoga, meditation, lifestream, and qigong became pivotal. These modalities grounded me and deepened my self-connection, offering solace and strength in daily life. Alongside these practices, I sought guidance from a compassionate therapist and from an encouraging couach gaining valuable insights into managing my challenges.
​
​
This journey led me to my calling: facilitating inner transformation and empowering others. Transitioning to become a psychotherapist and coach, I'm dedicated to supporting individuals in finding peace and fulfillment.
My approach to coaching and therapy emphasizes embracing all aspects of experience, guiding clients to cultivate awareness and resilience. Drawing from over a decade of experience and training, including a Master's in Transpersonal Counseling from Naropa University, I integrate various modalities such as gestalt therapy, psychodrama, and mindfulness practices into my work.

​
With specialized training in couples therapy and career coaching, including certifications from Gottman Institute and PACT, and years of experience as a career coach at Naropa University, I offer a comprehensive range of services. Additionally, I specialize in psychedelic integration coaching, helping individuals navigate profound experiences with intention and understanding.

Through a holistic approach that incorporates Eastern and Western modalities like yoga, qigong, and dream work, we embark on a journey of self-discovery and transformation, guiding you toward greater fulfillment, purpose, and connection in every aspect of your life. Let's embark on this journey together.
