feminine embodiment
Breakup coach
Meet Natalie Sophia Raphael
My story starts with a breakup that shattered me. After five years in a relationship, I realized I wasn’t living the life I wanted. I was living the life he wanted. I had become a version of myself I didn’t even recognize: anxious, disconnected, numb, and out of touch with my femininity, beauty, and joy.
When the relationship ended, I thought my world had ended too. But that heartbreak became the best thing that ever happened to me.
Because it led me to embodiment.
I was guided to embodiment practices from a mentor. With these practices, I didn’t just “move on”, I transformed. I moved the heartbreak and trauma of the break-up through my nervous system and reconnected to my body. I awakened my sensuality, rebuilt my confidence, and stepped into the most radiant, magnetic version of myself I had ever known.
This glow-up wasn’t surface level. It touched every part of my life:
My friendships became deeper and more meaningful
My body became healthier and stronger, and I felt at home in it again
I unleashed my sexuality and felt more confident than ever
I began attracting high-value men effortlessly
I traveled on luxe vacations that felt expansive and nourishing
I built new income streams and elevated my lifestyle
I found a diet, movement, and wardrobe that made me feel sexy and alive
Most importantly: I discovered a higher version of myself I didn’t even know existed
What I learned was this: healing doesn’t have to be heavy, gloomy, or all about your ex. It can be enlivening. It can be fun. It can be the most powerful glow-up of your life.
I didn’t just return to the woman I was before him. I became someone new, awakened and radiant.
And that’s why I created The Sophia Method: to help other women use heartbreak as a portal to transformation, so they don’t just “get over it”… they rise from it.
My Background & Training
Over the past decade, I’ve devoted myself to the study and practice of somatic healing, feminine embodiment, and nervous system regulation. My approach blends modern science with ancient wisdom traditions like Tantra, Taoism, and yoga, honoring both the biology of healing and the sacredness of the feminine body.
This is the work that changed my life, and it’s what I now offer through The Sophia Method, a deeply personalized, body-led path to healing.
Through this method, I guide women through the same transformation I experienced: one where you reclaim your vitality, your sensuality, and your deepest truth, not by fixing yourself, but by awakening the woman you were always meant to be.
