Hi there, I'm Sofia. I'm a certified Sound Healer based in London.
I started my wellness journey as an actress, trying to keep my energy up and stay calm amidst the chaos of theatrical work. I turned to yoga and meditation for support. Every evening after my performances, I'd head to a meditation studio, and it quickly became a crucial part of my routine.
Eventually, I decided to get my yoga certification and began offering classes to other actors who were struggling with mental health issues.
In 2014, I saw a street musician playing handpan for the first time. The ethereal sounds captivated me, and I felt an immediate sense of calm and connection. Driven by this newfound passion, I discovered a newly opened handpan school back home in Minsk. I was its first student and that’s where I honed my skills and deepened my understanding of the handpan's healing properties. Eventually, I became a teacher there, sharing my knowledge with other students.
Later, I traveled to Rishikesh, India, to further my education and earn a sound healing qualification. I learned from experienced practitioners and acquired a handmade set of Himalayan bowls. The rich, resonant tones of these bowls added another layer to my sound healing practice.

I have 7 years' experience of teaching handpan private classes, and yoga, and 4 years of offering sound healing classes (both private and group) in London.
Using Himalayan bowls and handpan, I create a deeply immersive and therapeutic experience. My training from Rishikesh adds profound depth to my practice, making each session a truly unique experience.
In addition to sound healing, I am an Ayurveda Therapist and have been a dedicated Yoga Teacher since 2018. I blend holistic healing with extensive yoga knowledge to create a nurturing and enriching journey for all of my students.

My mission with my practice is to help others find balance, peace, and healing in their lives. I want to create a supportive and nurturing space where people can reconnect with themselves and discover the transformative power of yoga, meditation, and sound healing. Ultimately, my goal is to inspire and empower individuals to lead healthier, more mindful, and fulfilling lives.
My goal when working with my clients is to show them that struggle isn't always necessary. I aim to help them take a different perspective on life and find a path to healing. By incorporating yoga, meditation, and sound healing, I create a safe and supportive environment where clients can release stress, embrace calm, and discover their inner strength.
In my 50-minute Handpan and Himalayan Bowls class, you'll embark on a deeply calming and transformative journey. The session begins with gentle breathing exercises and time to settle into the serene space. Once everyone feels grounded, I guide you through a peaceful meditation, preparing your mind and body for the sound healing journey ahead.
The core of the class features the soothing sounds of the handpan and Himalayan bowls, creating a meditative soundscape that promotes deep relaxation and healing. The harmonious vibrations help release stress and tension, allowing you to connect with your inner self.
The class concludes with a seated asana, designed to integrate the healing energy and leave you feeling balanced and revitalised.
