Yep, even you!
about sophie
I'm just a small-town girl from the South West of England. I always knew I wanted a creative life... but I didn't know how to find it.
Hi, I’m Sophie – a coffee-obsessed mama to a live-wire toddler, avid learner, self-care seeker, an INFJ + Enneagram 2 (AKA ‘creative helper’), and the founder of Mindful Mantra Embroidery.
Just over 6 years ago, I was stuck in my so-called 'dream job,' feeling burnt out, drained, and disconnected. Despite loving my studies, I soon realised lawyering just wasn't for me.
But creativity? That has always been my escape. From painting and drawing to paper cutting I've explored it all; but it was embroidery that stole my heart.
I traded in the hustle for the calm of stitching and, in doing so, found my path to purpose and peace.
Now, I’m here to help women like you carve out time for creativity, self-care, and joy, so you can feel fulfilled and empowered, just like I did.
If I can turn my passion into a thriving business while juggling life as a busy mama.. so can you!
