Sofie Couwenbergh is a writer, entrepreneur, and Somatic Experiencing trainee who combines a 16+ year career in content with in-depth knowledge about the nervous system to help people expand their emotional capacity, experience more joy, and build healthier relationships with themselves and others.
She has six+ years of in-depth personal development work through various therapeutic modalities (EMDR, Brainspotting, SE, talk therapy, …), workshops, and self-study. In 2025, she started a formal, three-year Somatic Experiencing training with SE International.
For nearly 1,000 consecutive days (goal date: September 20, 2026), Sofie has publicly shared little things that brought her joy on her Instagram. She has grown a travel blog to over 200,000 uniques before selling it, built a content strategy and writing service from her parents’ kitchen table during the pandemic, and managed freelancers for both businesses.
Sofie currently uses her expertise to:
- help people expand their emotional capacity, rewire unhelpful patterns, and build healthier relationships with themselves and others.
- support the content needs of businesses that promote self-development through their offer and within their teams.
Some of the topics she covers are:
- Nervous system (dys)regulation
