Hi, I'm Sophie
a coach helping remote workers prevent burnout. After my own burnout as a product manager and team leader in major tech companies, I set out to help others avoid the same path.
When COVID-19 pushed the world into remote work, I launched a podcast to share early warning signs and prevention strategies.
That journey became Élan, my coaching practice blending corporate insight with personal transformation to help you prevent burnout before it’s too late.
Currently sharing a life with Marco and Ana (my two kids) and our playful Stella.

Celebrating your success stories
Hey! Quick update 📲 That thing you said about yellow flags? LIFE SAVER 🚨 Caught myself spiraling yesterday, used your 3-breath technique, and boom - back to normal 💨✨ My husband is convinced you're a wizard 🧙♀️ Group session next week can't come soon enough! 🤗💙
Managing a distributed team left me feeling like I had to be available 24/7. Sophie helped me build boundaries that I didn’t even know were possible. Now my team respects my schedule, and I’m showing up as a better leader without burning myself out.
I used to think constant fatigue was just part of freelancing. Sophie helped me see the warning signs before things spiraled out of control. Her approach is practical and kind, and I can honestly say I feel more focused and creative than I have in years.

I was literally that person checking emails at 11 PM thinking I was being 'productive'. Sophie saved me from myself! Her little daily tweaks actually FIT into my chaotic life, and now I have energy for Netflix AND work! The group sessions? LIFE-CHANGING! Finally found my people who get the remote work struggle.
Sophie I'm SOBBING 😭😭 (happy tears!!) Just got promoted AND my stress levels are the lowest they've ever been 📈💪 A year ago I would've burned out from this workload but your energy management techniques have me THRIVING 🌟 Posting this from my lunch break OUTSIDE 🌞 Progress!! 🎉💖
I thought being exhausted 24/7 was just 'adulting' until Sophie opened my eyes! 👀 Her podcast became my daily dose of hope 🌈 and her coaching gave me my JOY back! Six months later, I'm crushing my goals AND sleeping through the night 😴 The support group girls are now my besties! 👯♀️💖"
Sophie just GETS IT because she's been there! 🙌 No fancy jargon, no impossible routines - just real advice from someone who survived the corporate burnout trenches 💪 Her gentle approach meant I could actually DO the things she suggested without wanting to hide under a blanket. My mental health thanks you, Sophie!

Some challenges need private attention. Others benefit from peer support. My flexible coaching approach gives you both options, so you always get exactly the support you need to prevent burnout.
Pick what feels right: one-on-one coaching for your unique prevention plan, or small group sessions with fellow remote professionals for shared support and accountability.
