a huge little story:
The Birth of illumi

​​​​

I am Sophia, a dedicated practitioner of yoga and reiki, and an advocate for holistic wellness. My journey to this fulfilling path has been anything but conventional, yet it’s one I’m incredibly proud of.

With a double degree in Global Business and Marketing Management, my career began in the bustling heart of London. I swiftly climbed the corporate ladder, carving out a successful niche in business and sales. Materially, I thrived. Yet, despite my achievements, my soul felt increasingly impoverished. Over time, I found myself longing for something deeper - a sense of purpose that went beyond my day-to-day achievements.

Over the past decade, I navigated through various corporate landscapes in cities like London, Madrid, and Dubai. I met a spectrum of amazing individuals who influenced my personal and professional growth, for whom I am incredibly grateful, and some of whom I am lucky to still have circling around my orbit. I started to realize that true fulfillment required a balance that I couldn’t find solely within my career. This was especially true as my health and well-being began to take a back seat to my demanding work schedule.

That was my breaking point. I decided enough was enough, I needed a break. I revisited the passions that once brought me joy and vitality - yoga and holistic wellness. My corporate background and professional strengths provided stability and perspective, yet I felt a calling to explore new paths that would allow me to combine both.

Looking back, I don’t regret a thing. Every challenge and triumph taught me invaluable lessons and steered me towards my authentic self. After an enlightening six months in Bali, immersed in intensive training in yoga, reiki, and holistic health, I emerged transformed and equipped with a profound understanding of well-being.

 

Today, I’m here to share that journey with you. My corporate background gives me unique insights into the pressures and challenges many face, along with many other invaluable skills. I've always been driven by empathy and compassion, feeling a deep connection to helping others. My experiences in Bali revealed to me that I can integrate both paths. I feel privileged to guide others and illuminate the way towards mental clarity, physical vitality, and holistic well-being.

Supporting you in your journey to better health and witnessing your transformation is incredibly fulfilling. I’m dedicated to being a supportive guide, helping you achieve a balanced and vibrant life.
