About Sophie & Raise Workshops

Meet Sophie

Balancing work, family, and the ever-changing needs of a growing child can feel like a lot to hold. Between broken sleep, tricky bedtimes, big toddler emotions, and milestones like weaning, it’s completely normal to feel unsure at times and to wonder if you’re getting it right. Parenting brings so many questions, and trying to navigate it all on your own can feel heavy.

That’s why Sophie created Raise Workshops. The aim is to support you, reassure you, and help parenting feel calmer and more manageable. Through clear, step-by-step guidance, practical tools you can use straight away, and a warm, non-judgemental approach, you’ll gain clarity and confidence in the choices you’re making. Instead of second-guessing yourself, you’ll better understand what’s going on and how to respond with confidence.

Raise Workshops offers gentle, research-informed strategies that help you feel more capable, connected, and at ease as your child grows. Whether you’re navigating routines, emotions, or developmental changes, you’ll find realistic support that fits into everyday family life. No pressure and no guilt, just thoughtful guidance to help parenting feel lighter and more joyful.

Inspiring Confidence in Every Parent

Sophie trained at the prestigious Norland College, graduating with distinction. Throughout more than ten years in professional childcare, she has worked closely with families from all backgrounds, helping them navigate the early stages with reassurance and understanding.

Her dedication to continuous learning led her back to Norland to complete her maternity practitioner qualification, followed by certifications as a sleep consultant, baby massage instructor, and first aid trainer.

This blend of experience and expertise allows Sophie to offer a calm, knowledgeable, and holistic approach to supporting new parents.
