About Sophia Zoe
Sophia Zoe is a Toronto-based Energy Therapist. She uses various healing methods based on balancing and restoring flow to the body’s energy systems. After a course of treatment, clients most often say they didn’t know they could be so happy. The effects are usually so positive that all areas of a client’s life improve.

Sophia has been immersed in the world of alternative health care since the age of 15, but it wasn’t until after attaining her degrees in Music and Drama that she began an intensive study of energy healing. Soon after, a local Chinese herbalist was referring his patients to her. Sophia prefers the healing systems of BEAM Therapy, EFT, Reiki, Therapeutic Touch, Aromatherapy and Guided Imagery to heal emotional wounds, lift blockages and help people feel better in every way. What she discovered is that a short-cut to healing is using therapeutic-grade essential oils.

Sophia Zoe is passionate about natural health care and loves to share what she knows. She hand-makes  aromatherapy sprays using the finest quality organic essential oils of plants and flowers.

For those interested, there will be a limited supply of the following sprays for sale at the end of the workshop at a special PFW price. The sprays are $12 each or four for $40. Cash only please.

Lavender Mist, to relax, refresh and cleanse.
Citrus Spirit, to uplift, release and detoxify.
Cinnamon Spice, nostalgic, warming, comforting.
Bugs Away! A safe, effective natural insect repellent.

The Glow Project: Movie + Discussion | Jan 7

A VERY SPECIAL ENCORE PRESENTATION OF AN ABSOLUTE MUST-SEE MOVIE FOR ANY POSITIVE FABULOUS WOMAN!!!

Some of you may have already seen this movie with us in previous years, but I invite you join us for a healthy dose of inspiration and to kick-start 2012 in the company of other fabulous women!

The movie that will inspire and uplift you by sharing personal life stories and success strategies of accomplished and inspiring positive fabulous women!

How is it that some women are wildly successful, while others, with the same relative education, experience, passion and goals for success, struggle? We all have the same amount of hours in a day, yet some are able to accomplish so much more. What is it that they do so differently? What is it that they possess that is unique? What is it that makes them GLOW?

While it is invisible, women can see it.
While it cannot be touched, women can feel it.

There is a powerful essence inside of every woman—a critical ingredient that only women possess. When realized, nurtured and expanded, it becomes the key to true happiness and success. You deserve happiness, fulfillment, and the opportunity to achieve wild success. STOP what you are doing. Take a breath, and connect with your GLOW.

The GLOW Project has brought together prominent corporate achievers and dynamic entrepreneurs, to share with you how they manifest, unleash and expand GLOW. Witness their struggles and pain and their strategies for success. By focusing on GLOW, they are fulfilling their destinies and achieving more success than they ever imagined. These women exude the kind of grace, confidence and strength that every woman can achieve, while also being mothers, daughters, wives and leaders. The GLOW Project will ignite your spirit and inspire your dreams.

The GLOW Project will show you that, no matter how hard you work, no matter how hard you try, you can never achieve your full potential and happiness without GLOW. GLOW is your birth right as a woman. Your essence, your passion and your dreams can no longer be denied. You ARE brilliant, magnificent, and unequalled! Embrace your essence and forever live in GLOW.

Who Are You Meant to Be?

It is said that at the moment of your birth you have an awareness of your potential and an idea of who you are meant to be. In the next moment, this awareness disappears into the unconscious where it becomes our task to uncover it during our lifetime.

Discover your predominant need that must be met in order for you to feel secure and achieve your potential. All too often, we remain unaware of what our built-in needs are and, as a result, they go unmet. We are then at the mercy of our unconscious impulses, emotions and habits of mind. We end up repeating longstanding patterns that get in the way of achieving our goals or creating the life of happiness and satisfaction we want.

In this highly interactive networking event, participants will connect with others who share the same predominant need based on their Striving Style. You will learn how its innate needs and emotional drives dictate your behaviour – personally and professionally. You will find out how to fully leverage your brain’s hard-wiring to achieve your potential and become who you were meant to be.
