Sophie Taylor

Certified personal trainer, mindfulness advocate, lifestyle blogger, and deep-rooted passion for helping others create better, more deliberate life drives Sophie Taylor. Originally from Brighton, UK, Sophie obtained her Level 3 Diploma in Fitness Instructing & Personal Training from YMCAfit then worked for a certification in Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) from the University of Oxford's Department for Continuing Education. Having worked in the health and wellness fields for more than eight years, Sophie has guided corporate wellness seminars, one-on-one coaching sessions, and group fitness classes all around Europe and the United States. With an eye toward readers developing routines that support body and mind, her writing combines mental clarity techniques with practical fitness guidance. For Sophie, fitness is about empowerment rather than about punishment. Strength training, yoga, breathwork, and positive psychology are all part of her all-encompassing approach to produce long-lasting effects free from burnout. Her particular passion is guiding women toward rediscovery of pleasure in movement and balance in daily life. Outside of the office, Sophie likes paddleboarding, morning journaling, and shopping at farmer's markets for seasonal, fresh foods. Her credence is "Wellness ought to feel more like a lifestyle than a life sentence."
