Founder
Sophia Koehler-Berkley (she/her) is a former educator turned educational consultant with over 8 years of experience serving in New York City public schools.
As a Social-Emotional Learning Coach/Teacher in Brooklyn, she curated the conditions for her school community to connect authentically & compassionately, making it a little easier to survive another year of middle school.
She brings her expertise in creating calm within high-stress environments (imagine all your middle school feels X 30) to every room where she facilitates.
Sophia holds a masterʼs degree in Special Education from Brooklyn College. She was Teach for Americaʼs 2019 Spotlight Teacher and is a Certified Meditation Teacher from Nalanda Institute For Contemplative Science. She founded her Educational Consulting Company, Internal Light LLC, in 2019 and has since had the opportunity to work with teams globally from the education, corporate, and nonprofit sectors.
Sophia is a proud New York City transplant who is also Midwest Certified “Indiana-Nice.” She meditates (every-damn-day), drinks her whiskey neat (always), and is humbled by how her stubbornness is no match for that of her toddler son (most days).
