Testimonials
“Rooted Rhythm was a game changer for us! We needed someone to help us navigate parenting our oldest son, who is 5 years old, who we learned is highly sensitive. We started sessions with Sophie and instantly felt a connection and her support for us and our son! We honestly noticed such a positive difference after working with Sophie to think about our son's behaviors differently and learn how to support him as a highly sensitive child!
We would 100% recommend Rooted Rhythm and Sophie to anybody looking for support parenting highly sensitive children!” - Parents of 3 boys
“Working with Kate was an absolute dream. She is kind, energetic, compassionate, and cares deeply about our family. I would recommend her to anyone, anytime!” - Mom of 2
“My husband and I were looking for a therapist for assistance with our 10 year old daughter. I had no idea what a blessing Sophie and her experience would be. We met with her for a consultation, and she presented the "tuned in parenting program" as something to help support us. Initially, we were hesitant, but when presented with the modules and topics, it seemed like a great option due to the flexibility.
Wow! This program is everything we needed and more. We immediately saw changes in our parenting and how beneficial it was to both our children and our partnership. The program is so supportive and flexible if time is tight. There are recorded information sessions and lots of references. The meditation at the start and end is so helpful to do before listening to really get present and focused. I really think all parents should take this program.
What was also super supportive is Sophie paired our daughter with the perfect therapist. She immediately made our daughter feel comfortable and helped with her needs. To pair with the sessions, we reviewed the parenting modules alongside to further solidify the information, which helped keep the methods we learned in practice.
We continue to re-listen and refer to different topics now as different challenges arise. I recommend this to all parents! This is the best investment for your family to support in more ways than you can imagine!” - Mother of a 10 year old girl
“Kendall helped me take a bold step towards a more loving, pain-free existence. Throughout our session, he sat with me, at times comforted me, and gave me courage when facing the unknown. I’m sure he would be just as adept and gifted at holding space for other men. I’ve known Kendall for more than 15 years now and find him to be of the highest character. He is gentle, kindhearted, and conducts himself with admirable poise. In connecting me with other healers, Kendall has helped guide me on a life-changing journey that has forever transformed my life. I am a better human because of him, and would recommend him to you as highly as I have ever recommended anyone.” - Father of two
“Sophie and her team at Rooted Rhythm, has truly brought our family closer and given us the tools and confidence to face challenges ahead. Their approach of child play therapy alongside parent coaching was extremely effective. I would highly recommend working with them. And as I continue the journey of parenting, I know their support system will always be available if needed, and I will continually be reflecting on the knowledge I have gained from taking the TUNED IN course and working with them.” - Mother of 3 and 5 year old girl
“My experience with Sophie & Kendall has been everything I wanted, and then some! I first started seeing Sophie during the Covid pandemic for some help & was not disappointed. We began meeting virtually then after some time shifted to in-person. Sophie did an amazing job of creating a safe space where I felt loving-kindness, my voice being heard, and gratitude for the tools being presented to me that really made a difference. Not only did Sophie accomplish these feelings/secureness in-person, but over video calls as well which is really quite impressive & really lends to the passion/hard work she puts in.
Next came my time with Kendall, working on gaining more knowledge/guidance with mindfulness, and life in general in addition to masculine energy. To no surprise the wonderful service I received from Sophie translated over into my work with Kendall. The space he held gave the opportunity for me to be completely vulnerable, and truly share what was on my mind/what I was going through with no fear of judgement. Doing so allowed me to put my guard down and realize a lot of what I was going through was fairly common. The impact that had allowed me to be more gentle & compassionate with myself.
If you’re looking for individuals who are loving, authentic, supportive, and truly invested in helping people then look no further than these two beautiful humans!” - Adult male client

“Our 6 year old son was getting in trouble at school, melting down all the time and struggling very much with life’s challenges. We realized that he had very big feelings, a lot of anxiety and self-doubt, and our inability to help him was creating a stressful home. We met with Sophie for a consultation and knew she would be able to help us. Her calm, intelligent demeanor and authenticity created a safe place for our family to learn about our son, grow together and begin to heal as a family. Sophie’s methods of parent coaching via the online course and live meetings are rooted in research and education, and her play therapy is effective and personal to each child. Because Sophie is so open and supportive, genuinely caring about her clients, the process feels safe and is easy to trust. Sophie changed the trajectory of our family and has given us the skills to continue to build a stronger family.” - Mother of a 6 year old boy

“I found Sophie one day in a frantic google search for a therapist for my 8 year old son. He is smart, funny and has the biggest emotions of anyone I know. He was getting in trouble at school, testing boundaries at home and experienced his feelings in outburst that sometimes would last over an hour. Our other biggest struggle was connecting on parenting. Sophie was the perfect fit for our family during our time of soul searching. Not only did it give our son a safe place to not only talk and express himself but to just... be. The bonus was the parenting course. It has given us as parents a base to start with; common ground to build on instead of one of ‘always being right.’ We gained so many tools for the future not just for our highly sensitive son but our sassy independent daughter as well.” - Mother of an 8 year old boy
“Sophie embodies the wellness that she supports others to attain with ease, confidence, humility and humor. She has a multi-faceted expertise and I have had the gift of working with her as a parent (completing parenting course and ongoing weekly calls) and as a woman on my own healing journey (Ketamine assisted psychotherapy). It is so rare these days to be able to see one healer for various aspects of life (healing, relationships, parenting, spiritual curiosity) and Sophie strikes the just right balance. She toggles between holding space, coaching, inquiry, somatic approaches, play and research-based practices for integration. Sophie believes that individuals and families can attain wellness. I was dubious about this, due to my own complex trauma and experiences. However, with her commitment to my breakthroughs and my dedication, I'm confident that wellness is possible too.” - Mother of 2 year old girl and 4 year old boy
“Sophie was a gem for our family. The model of child counseling paired with parent coaching was excellent for us. Sophie is kind and approachable. She is an expert at what she does. We are in a happier, healthier, more regulated state of mind thanks to her. Equally important, Sophie helped teach us the tools to sustain it ourselves.” - Mother of an 8 year old girl
“Sophie is one of the most grounded and aware therapists I have ever encountered. She brings a joyful, playful element to the work she does.

“Our 4-year-old was having trouble working through his really big feelings, and my husband and I felt confused about how to help him.

Sophie is an absolutely wonderful person and held space for our family to find our rhythm. So grateful!” - Mother of a 4 year old boy
“Sophie is absolutely amazing! She is kind and so supportive and has amazing energy. I highly recommend her services for you personally or team trainings!” Lisa, CEO of a home health organization
“Rooted Rhythm therapy has helped our family a lot. When we had an orientation with Sophie, she told my wife and me that the therapy would be limited to 8 sessions. I appreciated that very much. It made me feel like there was a process vs. just going in open-ended. We tried it, and the end result is a better relationship with our kids and each other. If she thinks that she can help your family, I'm sure that she can. Highly recommend!” - J.M., Father of two
“Sophie's paradigm is provocative, profound and progressive. For the first time we were given new pathways to parent. After talking to several other therapists and coaches and researching as much as I could, I was disheartened that we would ever find the help we needed. But then we found Sophie. For me, tears came often in her office because of the newfound peace created by her paradigm. This was the first time I had somebody outside of our house who both believed in my child as much as I do, but also could finally help us. And she did help. Profoundly. With hard work, our collaboration has paid off and opened up my child’s path so that he may once more be availed of walking into the light with more peace, understanding and sense of self than I thought was possible. For the first time in forever, we’re walking out of the old dark woods I thought we were going to be stuck in. If you’re frustrated with the options out there, even with other play therapists, I would highly recommend talking with Sophie to see if you’re a fit for each other.” -Father of 4 year old boy
“I can't say enough positive things about Rooted Rhythm therapy! She worked with me individually, but also worked with my nine year old daughter, and met with me and my partner to provide parent coaching. She is patient, wise and creative. She provided me and my family with new insight, new ways of understanding and approaching our challenges. It was truly a pleasure working with her. I highly recommend Sophie as a therapist.” -G.B., Mother of two

“Being in Sophie’s presence is like transporting myself back to the third grade with the teacher I wish I had. She kept me engaged with the thoughtful use of hand gestures and personal stories. Sophie is a master of revealing her own experience (weird thoughts, nervousness, jokes, etc.) which immediately puts me and others at ease to show up in our playful authentic selves as we are learning. I took a concrete concept away from a short workshop, one that will stick with me forever because of Sophie’s skill in teaching and relaying information.” -Naveed H., wellness presentation attendee
