1:1 COACHING — SENIOR WOMEN LEADERS
Grounded Power
Your energy and presence are your greatest resources as a leader.
1:1 coaching for senior women leaders who want to lead with confidence, clarity, and grounded strength, without sacrificing their wellbeing, relationships, or themselves.
You do not need to choose between being powerful and feeling well. You are allowed to have both.
30-minute conversation. Whether or not we work together, you leave with more clarity than you came in with.
You've built the role you wanted. And you can't sleep through the night.
Partner at the firm. Director at the scale-up. CEO of the company you used to dream about. From the outside, you have done it. From the inside, your mind is replaying every meeting at 11 pm, and you cannot remember the last time you were actually present with your kids at bedtime.
Most of your colleagues have one strategy: more discipline, better systems, and optimizing the morning. You have tried all three. They worked for a while. They are not working now.
Here is what I want you to hear. This is not a discipline problem. It is an operating-system problem.
The way you have learned to perform: produce, push, prove, repeat, may have helped you get this far.
But it is a costly way to live. And at some point, even the most capable woman starts to feel the price: in her sleep, her energy, her relationships, her confidence, and her ability to be fully present in her own life.
It does not have to be like this.
You don't need more discipline. You need a different operating system.
The body keeps the score whether your mindset is keeping up or not. If your nervous system is in low-grade fight-or-flight as a default, it does not matter how good your morning routine is. The mindset work cannot land. The boundaries cannot hold. The presence cannot arrive.
The work is not to push harder. It is to change the fuel in the tank. From fear, shame, perfectionism, people-pleasing. To alignment, joy, purpose, presence.
Same ambition. Same ceiling-busting capability. Different fuel.

THE METHOD
Energy. Presence. Impact.
Three pillars that build on each other. We start with your energy, because everything rests on it. Then your presence, and the impact that follows naturally.
THE THREE PILLARS
How the work moves
1 - Energy
We start with the foundation. Sleep, recovery, nervous-system regulation, breath, fuel, movement, soultime/fun/connection with others. This is the foundation, everything else rests on it. When your energy is steady, your focus and your decisions get sharper on their own. You learn what is actually leaking your energy and what fuels it. We do real work, not generic morning-routine advice. Most clients sleep better within the first two weeks.
2 - Presence
Energy gives you the capacity to lead. Presence determines how you use it.
Here, you learn to lead yourself before you lead others: quieting the inner critic, regulating your emotions, directing your focus and staying grounded when the pressure rises.
You become less caught in overthinking, proving and reacting—and more able to listen deeply, communicate clearly and make courageous decisions. At work. With your family. With yourself. Confidence becomes something you inhabit, not something you perform.
3 - Impact
With your energy fuelled and your presence steady, we turn to the impact you are here to make. Here, you get clear on what only you can do, where you want to go and what truly deserves your attention. You lead from your values, contribute from your zone of genius and expand your influence, without carrying it all alone.
Whether it is a bigger leadership role, a growing company or an entirely new chapter, your priorities are clearer. Your decisions hold. Your delegation deepens. And your impact grows without costing you everything you love.
THE FRAMEWORK
How the work actually happens.
The work is held by a framework, not guesswork. A body-first methodology built over fifteen years of coaching, breathwork, mindfulness, Positive Intelligence, and lived experience. It is built on a simple but often-missed truth: self-awareness is the first step to any change. Everything follows from that.
The framework weaves together nervous-system regulation, somatic awareness, reflective coaching, Positive Intelligence saboteur work, and where useful, inner-child and root-cause work. Nothing is rushed. Nothing is forced. The shifts land because the body learns them, not because the mind has read about them.
Why this work actually lasts.
After burning out 13 years ago, I read the books, learned the tools and tried so many different ways to change. Some helped enormously. But I also discovered that knowing I needed to slow down didn’t mean I could do it when my calendar was full and someone needed an answer right now.
I could tell myself that it was okay to say no, then hear myself say yes before I’d even paused to consider what I wanted. I could know that rest mattered and still feel uneasy the moment I stopped.
Maybe you recognise some of that.
That’s why, in Grounded Power, we work with what happens in your actual life. We get curious about the moment your shoulders tighten before you reply to an email, the urge to take on one more thing, or the guilt that shows up when you protect an evening for yourself.
And then we practise something different. Sometimes that starts with one breath and a little space before you answer. Sometimes it’s noticing that you can disappoint someone and still be okay. Or that you can close your laptop, rest, and return with more clarity tomorrow.
I’ve learned over the past 13 years that change rarely comes from one big breakthrough. It grows through these small, repeated moments, when you have the support to choose differently and discover what happens next.
Over our four months together, that’s what we build: a way of leading that you don’t just understand in your head, but can come back to when life gets busy.
What clients say
MANAGING DIRECTOR, STOCKHOLM
Zenobia
“Before working with Sofia I was in extreme stress that led to sick leave. She helped me see how long-term pressure had been showing up in my body. The inner-child work shifted something I had carried for decades. Today I feel grounded, present, and respectful of my own limits. I have hope again.”
MARKETING DIRECTOR, STOCKHOLM
Alexis
“I was at a now-or-never point before full burnout. After working with Sofia, I took back control of my time and energy. I stopped working overtime, set real boundaries, started delegating, and got promoted. My husband said: I have got my wife back.”
CEO, STOCKHOLM
Malin
“I work with so many executive coaches, leadership coaches. No one has ever addressed me and my personal sustainability the way you do.”
What you will receive
-
Every two weeks for four months. Held over Zoom. Real depth, not surface conversation. We work where change actually happens, in the body, in the operating system, in the moments that matter.
-
At start, mid-point, and end. Concrete data on where you began and where you are now across the three pillars, Energy, Presence and Impact. Your own personal map of the work.
-
A 60 to 90 minute somatic-led session, in person at my place in Stockholm if you are local, or over Zoom if not. Shaking, dancing, breathwork, somatic release. The body work most coaching does not go anywhere near.
-
The Karolinska Exhaustion Disorder Scale. A clinical measurement of where your stress system is. Past clients have moved from 36 to 5. We track the real number.
-
When the pattern arises, you are not alone. Real-time support inside the moments that matter.
-
We co-write the notes in a Google Doc as we go, and sessions can be recorded if you wish. You’ll always get the meeting transcript with summary and action points, so you can stay present in the meeting instead of taking notes. You keep everything that we work with, and can revisit when you need to.
-
As part of the program, where it serves you, to be able to identify your protective mechanisms (saboteurs) and work with them. These saboteurs (the perfectionist, the controller, the hyper-achiever, the people-pleaser, the restless, the avoider etc ) run the operating system that creates a lot of your stress and negative emotions. Naming them is the first step to changing the fuel in the tank, from negative emotions like stress, shame, guilt, fear, anger, and anxiety, to positive emotions like joy, inspiration, creativity, curiosity, and empathy.
-
Around month two, dedicated to consolidating shifts and naming what has changed.

Whatever you decide, I’m in your corner.
