About Me

I offer both online and in-person group practice, retreats, and individual sessions in service of relational liberation.

Here’s what others say about working with me:

“Sofia-Jeanne is the real deal. Terrifyingly courageous in the spaces she holds. Penetrates her radiant love into the places you wish you weren’t seen, and stays with massive nurturing energy while you squirm until that place unravels and the truth flows forth. Tender and patient, yet fiercely resolved. – AR

Thank you, again, for the session. To me, it felt like being cut open very slowly by one of your katanas. Except I was butter and it was nice and warm. Quite pleasurable. – RK

“You come to Sofia-Jeanne if you want something below the surface of humanity, and she’ll hold the space for you. Whether I can get there is another thing, but she’ll be there holding a reverent container for me if I want it.” -TC

“Sofia-Jeanne’s ability to make eye contact with what’s alive in you and point at things others are not willing to feel or experience is a gift.” -TF

“Sofia-Jeanne is the thunderbolt that hit my life.” – EM

Thank you for our time together. Whole body listening is quite juicy and deepening. Moving from my feet and having my whole self there is gorgeous. – AS

I’ve been trained in a few different traditions. One is mainstream psychology. I have a MA in Social-Organizational Psychology from Columbia University, Teachers College and a MS in Management (i.e., business psychology research) from UNC Chapel Hill’s Kenan-Flagler Business School.

The others traditions are less mainstream, but arguably more important. You might call them personal growth, developmental work, inner work, or spiritual work. I began practicing meditation in 2011, studying first with Keith Porteous for 3 years, and then with Soryu Forall over the course of 5 years. In 2016 I began practicing Circling, a present-moment based relational group practice, and I have facilitated countless Circling events, workshops, and week-long retreats. I have also been learning “stuff” with Kraye Grymonnt since 2018.
