Sophia Wood Massicotte | Culturist at Culture Vitale

About Sophia

I’m Sophia Wood Massicotte, Embodiment Mentor, Threshold Guide and Founder of Alkimia Embodied Healing Arts, offering transformational spaces that cultivate authenticity, intimacy and vitality.

Through private mentorship, retreats, workshops and community experiences, I guide women and men through the thresholds of life and back into a living relationship with their inner wisdom and the truth of who they are.

My work weaves together five gateways of wisdom (Body, Nature, Archetypes, Emotions and Relationships) creating experiential spaces where people can slow down, feel, listen and discover what is asking to emerge. Rather than focusing solely on the mind, I invite people into a more embodied way of knowing, where insight can be felt, explored and lived.

I work especially with people navigating significant transitions and seasons of change, moments when an old way of being no longer fits and something new is asking to emerge. I support a movement from disconnection to self-belonging, and from living primarily from the outside in to creating, loving and leading from a place of deeper trust, courage and aliveness.

Client Requirements

For in-person sessions, I require a quiet, private and spacious room that allows participants to move comfortably, with chairs and/or floor space depending on the session. A sound system or microphone may be helpful for larger groups. Access to a whiteboard can be useful for certain workshops. For online sessions, a stable internet connection and video-conferencing platform are required. I’m happy to adapt the setup to the specific group, venue and experience.

Additional Notes

I’m excited to explore the different ways my work could contribute to the Culture Vitale Ecosystem.

I’m particularly interested in opportunities to bring a more embodied, human and experiential dimension to conversations around personal development, leadership, authentic relating and navigating change.

I’m also keen to meeting with and connecting with other Culturists for creative collaborations and co-facilitating unique, transformational experiences.
