Sophie Benn - Holistic therapist, energy healer and Student Hypnotherapist

about ardor...

Hello, I'm Sophie the proud owner of Ardor Healing & Hypnotherapy. From a very young age I had a passion for helping others. Over time I have volunteered for numerous charities to support where I can in the local community.  Back in October 2023 I qualified as an Angelic Reiki healer, I then went onto qualifying in a number of Holistic Therapy treatments, in Chakra Rebalancing and most recently as a USUI/Holy Fire practitioner. I have over a years experience with Energy Healing and I am fully insured and have an Advanced DBS Certificate so that I am able to work with Children and Vulnerable Adults. 

And as if my passion for helping others wasn't enough, I decided to start training to become a Solution Focused Hypnotherapist back in September 2024.  Also fully insured for Hypnotherapy and have an Advanced DBS Certificate.  I am a student member of NCH, our governing body and bound by professional efforts and standards. I am currently training with CPHT a reputable Hypnotherapy School with 23 years of teaching.

My life purpose is to help as many people as I can heal, transform their lives and find the best version of themselves.

My Healing Journey

where it all started...

If I started by telling my story from a happy place then I would be telling a lie.  My trauma started at a very young age that I vaguely recall as I have shut out that part of my life however I do remember suffering throughout the secondary school years from body tremors...  I didn't know it at the time, but I was so overwhelmed with extreme amounts of stress from all areas of my life.  I suffered with anxiety throughout my childhood right through to my adult life, I had experienced the ugliest of relationships, the heartbreak of family issues and the mental strain of general life experiences. 

It wasn't until I went through a break-up that meant something too me that I found myself in a place that I was struggling to return from... I was in so much pain mentally and emotionally and it wasn't until I was at a nail appointment, breaking down to my nail tech at the time, that she told me about a woman who helps people heal through their traumas.  It all sounded too good to be true... but that was the first time I heard about Amy.  

My first ever Reiki session was with a lovely lady called Jane who sent me on my way feeling incredibly energetic and unexpectedly positive.  But I could not stop questioning who Amy was... why did she feel so important to me? 

I was finally able to book in for Reiki with Amy and I have never looked back since. It was only then that I knew why she was so important to me and Amy has been a great friend, supportive teacher and an amazing Positive Queen from that very moment on.  I grew as a person, emotionally, mentally, physically... I became stronger, more confident and my anxiety reduced significantly.  Out of curiosity, I completed a 12 week Spiritual Medium course with Amy and I just knew that there was more out there for me, so I trained as an Angelic Reiki healer... and the rest is history. 

I recognized that my inner child found her purpose, finding Amy reconfirmed my purpose of healing others and I knew that this was not going to be the end of my journey.  The more I have developed my knowledge of Energy Healing, the more I have spent time with individual people working with them on their healing journey or even giving them some time away from home with a lovely pamper, the more I have found a deeper passion for helping others. 

I am now on a mission to help as many people a I can, as far and as wide as I can... because seeing someone smile, seeing someone beam with joy and happiness is something that drives me further.   

Over the last year I have been researching what other opportunities there are out there that will be extremely supportive for people in helping them heal and it was then that I found Solution Focused Hypnotherapy...  I am currently training to become a Solution Focused Hypnotherapist, so far I have found a great understanding of how the brain works and how incredibly effective SF Hypnotherapy is, based on some of my own experiences of bringing Solution Focused Brief Therapy into my own life and I look forward to sharing more with you all in the future.
