MEET THE FOUNDER

Hey, I’m Lara Sophie,

Certified trauma-informed therapist, somatic educator, yoga teacher and the heart behind The Soulshine Space.

A few years ago, my life looked completely different. I worked as a police officer, pushed my body to extremes in bodybuilding and tried to control everything around me.

From the outside, I seemed to have it all together, but inside I was numb, disconnected, and lost touch with who I really was.

My turning point wasn’t loud or dramatic, it was a slow and steady awakening. Through yoga classes, meditation retreats, somatic therapy, energy work and trauma-informed spaces, I finally started to truly feel my body again.

I could connect with my repressed anger, the underlying grief, and all those emotions that had kept me distanced from flow & ease in everyday life.

Since then, the path of somatic healing has been constantly inspiring and reminding me of the inherent truth we all share: being fully alive asks us to step out of the analyzing mind and experience life through sensations, emotions, and with that, presence and safety in our bodies.

P.S. Still got my vices - Hazelnut Butter & Coffee being two of them. But hey, not here to pretend I’ve got it all figured out. x

More about 1:1 Sessions with Lara

  • I’m not here to fix you. I’m here to walk beside you as you remember who you’ve always been.

    This work is personal. I’ve lived the patterns, the overwhelm, the numbness, the constant fight to feel in control. I used to wear a uniform as a police officer and escape into bodybuilding. Chasing strength on the outside while feeling disconnected on the inside.

    Now I guide others through that same transformation. From escaping into overthinking and control to finding deep, embodied aliveness. Making your body the safe place it was always meant to be.

    With me, you’ll find a space rooted in science, soul, and safety. Where every part of you is welcome and finally seen.

    If you're ready to come home, I’m here.

  • You deserve to break free from patterns like anxiety, overwhelm, numbness, or feeling stuck and start truly living.

    This isn’t about just analyzing your story. It’s about healing the patterns your mind alone can’t change.

    Where talk therapy focuses on mental comprehension, Somatic Shadow Work™ goes deeper: it recognizes your body, where unprocessed emotions and stress often hide, as an essential partner in the healing process.

    Together, we shift from surviving to thriving through body awareness, emotional presence, and nervous system rewiring, so you can feel safe, grounded, and truly in charge of yourself again.

  • Somatic Shadow Work™ is a gentle blend of body awareness, nervous system regulation, and emotional integration.

    Trauma isn’t held in the mind, it’s stored in the body. So when we find ourselves running the same painful cycles again and again, it’s time to meet the parts of us that unconsciously run the show. To do that, we need to enter SOMA = the body.

    In our sessions, we slow down to the language beneath words - sensations, impulses, the body’s inherent truth.

    That’s what we call Somatic Shadow Work™. A trauma-informed approach that begins in the body and ripples through every layer of your being.

Your Words

Deeply personal, from those who found safety, reconnection, and lasting transformation through 1:1 support.

  • FOR THE FIRST TIME

    "Before working with Lara, the only connection I had with my body was using unhealthy habits to numb myself whenever I was going through an emotionally difficult time.
    Our 1:1 sessions helped me build a completely new relationship with my body - one rooted in awareness, compassion and genuine connection instead of self-punishment. For the first time, I experienced what a healthy connection to myself actually feels like."

  • RELEASING THE WEIGHT

    “I never realized how much our bodies hold onto tension and emotions until Lara helped me release a deep, long-held physical tightness. I feel lighter, freer, and unburdened by negative emotions that once almost consumed me. Lara, thank you from the bottom of my heart, this is truly your calling.”

  • BACK TO MYSELF

    "Working with Lara taught me how to truly reconnect with myself: to listen inward instead of pushing my emotions away. Even though we worked online, every session felt deeply personal and intimate. She guided me through the hardest period of my life and helped me find my way back to myself."
