CARING — SUPPORTIVE — CHEERFUL

Sofie’s background

Sofie’s journey with Waves began as a client, where she discovered a deep love for Pilates. The transformative power of the practice, both physically and mentally, inspired her to complete Polestar Pilates training and spend time teaching at the studio. Before Pilates came into her life, Sofie earned a degree in Communication Management in Brussels and a Master’s in Communication Sciences from KU Leuven, followed by a decade in administrative and HR roles. After a bold detour through retail and teaching, she has now come full circle, bringing that experience back to Waves as the person behind HR, Finance and administration.

Why she does what she does

For Sofie, Waves is much more than a workplace; it’s a community she genuinely cares about. Having known the studio as a client, an instructor and now as part of the team behind the scenes, she understands what it takes for both clients and colleagues to feel at ease. She finds fulfillment in keeping things running smoothly, so the incredible team she works alongside can focus on what they do best.

Fun facts about Sofie

In her free time, Sofie loves spending quality moments with family and friends, especially enjoying outings or staying active. One of her favourite ways to unwind is a coffee date with her daughter, Janne, listening to her stories. She treasures walks on sunny, cold winter days, particularly by the sea or in the mountains, where she feels most at peace. A devoted fan of Disney and Pixar, Sofie eagerly watches every new animated film. And when it comes to indulgences, nothing beats a dame blanche (or really, anything with chocolate) to brighten her day.
