I’m Sophie-Rae
I’m Sophie-Rae: mother, mentor, women’s guide, yoga teacher, sister, Capricorn, generator. One of my greatest passions is how amazing women are and the changes and transformations they go through in one single life time. I have always wanted to work with women, supporting them in the cyclical transitions in life. However, it wasn’t until I was pregnant with my own child where I really realised my true calling, which is to support women in their rite of passage which is motherhood.
I have spent years guiding others through movement, mindfulness, and inner work as a yoga teacher and space-holder. Over time, my path led me to walk alongside women in one of life’s most profound thresholds: the journey into motherhood.
I witnessed how pregnancy, birth, and postpartum are not only physical experiences but emotional, spiritual, and identity-shaping ones. So often, women are supported in birth itself but not in the becoming that follows. The tender, raw, beautiful transition into motherhood — what we call matrescence — deserves just as much care.
This is why Space to Hold You exists: to offer a place of steadiness and compassion as you move through the thresholds of maiden to mother, postpartum, and the lifelong integration of woman and mother within you.
At Space to Hold You, I guide and support women through the transformative thresholds of motherhood — from maiden to mother, through pregnancy, birth, postpartum, and beyond.
This is a space for the whole woman: her body, emotions, spirit, relationships, and identity. Motherhood asks us to rebirth ourselves as much as it births our children, and I walk beside women as they navigate this unfolding.
My work blends:
Physical support for the body’s needs in pregnancy and postpartum
Emotional and energetic guidance for the inner transitions of matrescence
Spiritual and archetypal exploration of the woman becoming the mother
Practical integration for life, family, and self beyond the fourth trimester
I hold space that is nurturing yet empowering, helping women feel seen, held, and supported as they navigate one of life’s most profound transformations.
My work here is to hold you in the spaces of the biggest internal shifts and external changes that we experience was maidens becoming mothers. Whether you are looking for space to be held through pregnancy, nurture that’s needed in the early post partum days or support and guidance through your mothering journey - this is a space to hold you.
Matresance
Motherhood changes everything. It reshapes our bodies, our relationships, our sense of self — and it asks us to meet parts of ourselves we’ve never known before.
Space to Hold You was born from the belief that women deserve to feel truly held through these seasons of transformation.
This is a space for slowing down, for listening deeply, and for finding the support you need as you become both woman and mother.
This space to hold you…
Nurture
It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more.
Witnessing
It can be intimidating to start your own business. Learn to present yourself and your concepts with confidence.
