WHO I AM

I’m Sofie, an Intimacy Bodyworker & Psychodynamic Coach for Men.
For more than a decade I’ve been devoted to understanding the human psyche, intimacy, the body, and the deeper layers of connection. My work is shaped by extensive training, but more importantly by thousands of hours in my own inner process. Learning how to regulate, feel, open, and meet life with presence.

My Expertise

I help men who want to move beyond performance, pressure, numbness or self-protection, into embodied presence, emotional depth, and grounded intimacy.
My work integrates:

  • Psychodynamic Coaching (Advanced Coaching Academy / 2025)

  • HBO Coaching (NCOI, 2021–2022)

  • Neuro-Emotive Integration (2016)

  • Tantric & Embodiment Training through Sofia Sundari’s Serpent Mystery School & Priestess School (2019–2020)

  • Touch & Massage Training (Mood Massage Academy, 2019)

  • Mindfulness, Personal Leadership & Stress Management (Phoenix Opleidingen, Boertien Vergouwen Overduin, Eline Snel, 2017–2021)

  • Academic foundations in Psychology (Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam) and Social Work (HU) 

Over the past years, I’ve continuously immersed myself in personal development, embodiment, trauma-sensitive approaches, and intimacy work. This combination gives me a deep understanding of the mind, the nervous system, emotions, and the subtle language of the body.

The depth and safety of my sessions come from my own commitment to inner work: learning to slow down, regulate, receive, soften, and inhabit my body. Because I’ve walked these paths myself, I can create a space where men can meet parts of themselves they’ve long avoided: their desire, their vulnerability, their power, their fear, their heart.

Who I work with

I support men who:

  • feel stuck in their head and want to reconnect to their body

  • want to feel safe in intimacy and relationships

  • are tired of performing and want authentic connection

  • want to understand their emotions instead of suppressing them

  • want to dissolve old patterns and open to real presence

  • have done mindset-work, but know something deeper is calling

What happens in this work

In our sessions, you learn to inhabit your body, meet your emotions without fear, and build a grounded relationship with intimacy (physically, emotionally, and relationally).

Men often describe their experience with me as:

  • “the first time I’ve ever felt safe in my body”

  • “relief, clarity, and deep grounding”

  • “a completely new way of relating to intimacy”


MY APPROACH

I don’t believe anyone is broken.
You are already whole, and from that wholeness, you can choose to evolve.

No one can ‘heal’ you.
What I do is create the conditions for your own system to reorganize, release, and integrate.

Real growth unfolds on three levels:

To Wake Up — expanding awareness beyond conditioning and reconnecting to your full life force energy.
To Grow Up — cultivating emotional maturity, grounded presence, and self-responsibility.
To Clean Up — releasing the emotional residues and protective patterns held in the body.

The Body as the Gateway

The body is wise. It remembers what the mind forgets and speaks through sensations long before we find words. Yet in a culture obsessed with control, productivity, and optimization, we often try to manage the body. To make it perform, heal faster, feel better.

My work takes the opposite direction. Instead of trying to fix or push, we slow down. We listen. We create enough space for the body to reveal its truth: the stories, tensions, and impulses that have quietly shaped the way we move through life, work, and relationships.

The body and nervous system are the foundation of lasting transformation. Real change doesn’t happen through understanding alone; it unfolds when the body feels safe enough to release old protective patterns and embody something new. When we meet the body with presence rather than pressure, its intelligence naturally reorganizes and what no longer serves can finally be released.

How I Work

My approach blends psychodynamic coaching with body-based practices, influenced by Tantra, Family Systems, NLP, Attachment Theory, and Inner Parts Work.
It’s grounded in lived experience, not just theory.
In our sessions, insight meets embodiment.

You don’t just understand yourself more deeply, you become more of yourself.

From awareness to release.
From release to integration.
From integration to embodiment.
