About me
MANIFESTING CHANGE & COMPASSIONATE POWER through SKILFUL THINKING & ASTROLOGY
I help remarkable people love themselves, impact their life boldly, and inspire others — one person, one act of reclaimed power, at a time.
Hello, I'm Sofie — an astrologer and life coach based in London, and the founder of RHEA Coaching.
I've spent over 30 years studying astrology and 16 years developing a coaching approach that treats power dynamics, ritual, and consent as tools for real psychological work. Before I trained as a coach, I spent over a decade working professionally in the world of power exchange and ritual, an experience that still shapes how I understand what happens when people confront questions of control, surrender, and identity in their lives and relationships.
I work with individuals and couples who are ready to explore where power shows up for them: in confidence, in relationships, in the roles they play with others and the ones they've outgrown. Many of my clients are newer to this kind of exploration, curious about the Dominant or submissive in themselves, or navigating a relationship dynamic they don't yet have language for. Others come to coaching for more familiar reasons: self-esteem, direction, feeling stuck.
Whatever brings you, I use astrology as a map, not a prediction, but a way of naming the patterns already at work in your life, alongside depth psychology and a lot of patient, direct conversation.
My practice is built on the belief that our shadows deserve as much curiosity as our strengths, and that real change starts with reclaiming a sense of agency most of us were never taught to trust.
Commitment to yourself is the first step on this journey….
Some issues we can explore together:
Anxiety, Self-Esteem, Intimacy, Lack of Agency, Creative Desert, Career change, Powerlessness, Trust, Boundaries, Lack of Joy, Connectedness, Shame, Fear, Lack of Motivation, Procrastination, Need to slow down, Power issues, Control issues, Consent, Gender, Valuing oneself, Body image, Age, Belonging, Coming out to family, friends, colleagues.
If any of this resonates, I'd love to talk.
Training, qualifications & experience
TRAINING AND EDUCATION
I hold a Diploma in Transformational Coaching from the Animas Centre for Coaching, accredited by the ICF and the Association for Coaching, and I'm accredited at Associate level by the EMCC. I also trained as a mental fitness coach under Shirzad Chamine in Positive Intelligence® (PQ®).
Astrology has been part of my life since 1995, when I began training for the Diploma at the Faculty of Astrological Studies, qualifying at intermediate level in 1996. My academic background goes back further still, to philosophy for my French Baccalauréat.
During the same years I was studying astrology, I was also in group analysis for seven years — my first sustained encounter with Jungian psychology, and the start of an ongoing engagement with psychology and philosophy that continues alongside my astrological work today.
Before coaching, I trained as a classical dancer and went professional for a short while, until life handed me a lesson that took years to properly absorb. In the years since, I've worked across the creative industries — as a designer, visual artist, and production director, among other things.
None of this sits separately in how I work now. Over time, I've folded these trainings, and the discipline I first learned as a dancer, into one integrated method — astrology, depth psychology, somatic practice, and coaching craft — built specifically around power dynamics, intimacy, and the parts of ourselves we're still learning to claim., not several specialisms offered side by side.

Other areas of coaching I deal with
Sixteen years as a professional Dominatrix showed me how BDSM and gender exploration, held with skill and consent, can move unlived parts of ourselves toward real integration — what the Greeks called Eros, transformative love.

How we collaborate
I call my framework Soul-Centered BDSM — the result of sixteen years of practice, bringing together power dynamics, consent, ritual as container, gender fluidity, and astrology into one coherent way of working. The premise is simple: approached with awareness, BDSM can be far more than an experience you have and move on from — it can be a genuine site of self-inquiry, depth, and transformation.
I assume you are the expert on your own life. My focus is on helping you mine the gold already within you, aligning mind, emotion and body so you can inhabit and use your own power and creativity. I'm here to serve you for the time we travel together.
Every coaching programme is bespoke, shaped around you rather than a fixed curriculum, but certain themes recur across the people I work with:
Finding and embodying your stance — Dominant, submissive, or switch — often for the first time, with real intention
Building the container: using ritual, structure, and consent to hold intensity safely, so exploration doesn't outrun understanding
Bringing BDSM into an existing relationship, and finding language for power and desire with a partner
Working with identity and gender fluidity as it surfaces through power play
Making space for reflection alongside the intensity, so what happens between us has somewhere to land afterwards
Where it's useful, astrology as a mirror for temperament and pattern — optional, and only if it speaks to you
Through non-judgemental, compassionate enquiry, we explore the limiting beliefs and narratives that might be holding you back, and bring untapped talents to the surface. I support you in shifting old paradigms and building a life that feels more aligned, purposeful, peaceful and joyful.
Sessions are one-to-one, tailored as we go, and delivered entirely online, shaped together once I understand what you're arriving with. Throughout, this is coaching: you do the thinking. My role is to hold the space, ask the questions, and offer reflection, not to hand you answers or tell you who to be.
