NEXT RETREAT
Hiriketiya, SriLanka
November 15 – 22
7 days of nervous system regulation, adventures, somatic practices and authentic aliveness. Small group. Deep transformation.
❝Lara has a magical ability to hold space, making everyone in the room feel safe, seen, and heard. I’m lucky enough to call Lara one of my teachers; I’ve attended her trainings, yoga classes and also one of her healing circles. It’s impossible not to leave one of her sessions without feeling positive.❞

❝With Lara, I learned how to truly feel myself again: to listen inward and stop pushing my emotions away. Even online, it felt incredibly personal and intimate. She guided me through the hardest time of my life back to myself.❞

❝From the very first day, Lara created a space that felt warm, safe, and deeply supportive. She has a rare gift: the ability to truly see people and meet them where they are, while lovingly nudging them to discover what they’re capable of.❞

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
MEET THE FOUNDER
Hey, I’m Lara Sophie
Former police officer. Former bodybuilder.
Now somatic therapist, trauma educator and retreat facilitator.
The truth?
I spent years trying to control everything around me because
I didn’t feel safe inside myself.
Everything changed the day I stopped running and finally allowed myself to feel again.
Today I help others to do the same.
