About the Facilitators:
Sofia Adler, MA is an Ivy-League trained coach and mindfulness meditation teacher who empowers her clients to navigate change with confidence. Leveraging the power of perspective using mindfulness and mindset work, Sofia will help you get to know and understand yourself on a deeper level. What are your common patterns, subconscious limiting beliefs, and habits? How are they holding you back? Sofia will help you transform from feeling like the victim of your circumstances into the conscious creator and leader of your life— the life you want to lead, rather than the life you think you should have. Sofia provides 1:1 coaching, meditation and professional development workshops for individuals and companies across the country, including Rent the Runway, Atlantic Records, Rebecca Taylor, WeWork, Netflix, Bombas, Glossier, The Guggenheim Museum, and more.
