A bit about me…

Sophia Maria, is an intuitive guide, teacher, and founder of Soul Alignment and The Spiral Collective. As a queer, spiritual activist, regenerative futurist, and decolonizer of the capitalist wellness culture, advocating for justice and liberation are at the core of their work. Sophia is gifted with the ability to see connections/systems, and guides you from a place of experience and deep knowing beyond her own through her deep connection to the great web we all belong to.

Through decades of continued healing of their childhood and ancestral trauma, they discovered and embodied life as a spiralic path. As a first generation German American, she spent her childhood shapeshifting across continents. Later in life, self actualization came by shedding skin after skin of her conditioning and radically embracing death and rebirth of self time and again. Sophia is not afraid of going into the underworld to embrace death and rebirth of self again and again to invite freedom. 

A near-death experience left her with a traumatic brain injury, that radically slowed her down for years and changed her forever. While this was painful, the gift of slowness allowed her to process life differently and recalibrate her nervous system. Her empathy broadened and her inner wisdom deepened.

Sophia has dedicated her life to cultivating spaces for connecting, healing, and remembering we are all interconnected and interdependent. She spent over a decade in sustainability education at Middlebury College, where she developed global programs and co-taught a course about Reimagining Sustainability-Dreaming into being Holistic Futures. Her work focused on cultivating the sustainability of the soul— for us to heal the Earth and our communities, we must also be healing ourselves and our lineage. With the deepening and celebrating of our voices and selves, we can heal together and create a just world for all.

From all of Sophia’s training, she weaves practices into transformation and soul alignment. They are a trained mindfulness teacher. A Voices of the Well-trained and practicing mystic of European-based Earth and feminine wisdom. Sophia embodies Earth wisdoms from her European ancestors and invites their guidance to come in through her work. 

For one to be free, all must be free. For one to be well, all must be well. Let us strengthen our community of care.

If you feel called, Sophia is honored to hold space with you.
