About Sophie
I’m Sophie, the creator of TULA
I created TULA to help people restore their natural balance using the ancient wisdom and philosophy of Ayurveda.
I’ve been interested in natural healing systems since I started my PhD in Medical textiles in 2010, where I incorporated the unique compound found in Manuka honey, called MGO, into electrospun wound dressing materials. During this time I learnt about several other naturally occurring foods, herbs and elements available to us.
They say that for every disease on this planet there is a plant or food compound that can heal us.
This is why I became interested in Ayurveda, one of the world’s oldest healing sciences, which means ‘Science of Life’ and uses natural healing systems to rebalance your unique constitution and restore health in the body and mind.
I have completed a Diploma in Ayurveda Lifestyle and Nutrition at the Ayurveda Institute in London, where I was taught by the world renowned Ayurvedic physician ‘Dr.Deepika Rodrigo’.
What I learnt during this course completely changed the way I think about life and how we can restore our health using a more holistic approach that actually looks at the root cause of our illnesses or conditions. I myself experienced hot flushes during my menstrual cycle for years, however, after learning ayurveda and how to rebalance my body, I can honestly say I haven’t had a hot flush since.
And I have worked with many people over the last few years to help bring their mind and body back into balance.
So, if you’re interested to know more and want to discover a natural way of healing and rebalancing your body and mind, please get in touch with me today as I’d love to help you.
What we can Treat
Conditions or Disorders
Skin disorders are so common in our lives, yet can be relieved by re-balancing your system and removing any toxins within your body. Coupled with lifestyle changes and dietary advice most skin conditions such as eczema, psoriasis and acne are treatable with Ayurveda.
At Tula we can help treat the discomfort of joint pain such as;
- Osteoarthritis
- Rheumatoid Arthritis
- Psoriatic Arthritis
- Gout
So it you’re suffering with any type of joint discomfort, get in touch today to see if TULA can help you.
There are a number of different digestive tract disorders and auto-immune disorders that Ayurveda can help with, some of these include, IBS, acid reflux, stomach ulcers and gallstones. However, if you’re suffering from something else related to your digestion or an auto-immune disease, please get in touch to discuss whether Ayurveda can help you.
Throughout a womens life, we often have a constant battle with our hormones that create havoc with our mind and body. However, Ayurveda has a fantastic way of rebalancing your hormones, simply through diet and herbs. I can say this from experience! So if you’re suffering with PMS or Menopausal symptoms, then please get in touch.
TULA aims to rebalance the body and remove toxins which may be contributing to infertility in both female and male clients. In particular we try to ensure the conditions within the body are supportive of conception. This may include reducing heat within the body and also providing a more alkaline environment. We look to restore fertility through a natural and holistic approach, tailored to the individual, as well as supporting a method of assisted fertility such as IVF treatment if required.
In todays world, there are more people suffering with some type of mental disorder than ever before. Often the feelings of anxiety or depression that we experience can he heightened by the incorrect food we are consuming, the type of exercise we’re doing or not doing and the lifestyle we are leading. With Ayurveda we aim to restore your mental wellbeing through correcting your diet and restoring your digestive fire or ‘agni’.
If we look after our gut health, the mind will look after itself.
Most weight issues begin with the types of food we’re eating, but in Ayurveda it is more specifically about the types of food compatible or not compatible with your unique constitution. If we are eating an incompatible food type then this can also affect your digestive fire, throwing your gut out of balance, which can result in poor digestion of food and build up of toxins. At TULA we can discover your unique constitution, balance your digestive fire and tailor your diet to what your body needs, allowing you to lose weight naturally.

Testimonials
I completed my herbal ayurvedic journey with Sophie and wow what a journey it has been. I arrived at Sophie’s door, tired, lethargic and with no interest in life. After a thorough consultation, Sophie prescribed a tailored plan, including herbal remedies, dietary recommendations and lifestyle choices. Six months later and hey presto, I am back! A complete transformation. I am full of energy and my zest for life is back! I highly recommend Sophie, she is patient, professional and her enthusiasm to get you well come across in buckets. – Mandy.
Sophie knows how to put anyone at ease. Her energy and passion are infectious which meant I always left our meetings feeling refreshed and relaxed.
Sophie’s heart is warm and compassionate, and her mind understanding and inspiring. She took me on a journey to understand my body; listen to it, soothe it and improve it with Ayurvedic therapies and mindfulness. I have eczema and anxiety and both improved after working through a plan with Sophie. I highly recommend having a chat with Sophie to curate your therapy.
Sophie is always laid back, positive and genuinely one of the kindest people I have ever met. Her compassion for both people and animals is infectious and her people skills and caring attitude can’t go unnoticed. When I’ve previously had a difficult time or my own struggles, she has always offered me support and has a wonderful way of making me and other feel better. She is full of good advice, non judgemental and ultimately brings out the best in those around her. Having Sophie in your life is only ever going to be positive.
I would like to say that Sophie recommended me to use boiled coriander and ginger water in the mornings, as I suffer from severe migraines. I can honestly say that I don’t get half as many migraines now as what I used to and the coriander and ginger taste lovely.
I have had two sessions with Sophie, and I can’t recommend her highly enough.
Her treatment room itself has such as calming energy. Sophie is a very nice person, it’s a pleasure to just be around her, doesn’t make you feel rushed or bothers me if I have any questions like I did.
I don’t really get how reiki works, every treatment is different but my ability to feel positive energy has increased and I’m much happier, what definitely helps develop my baby…happy mummy, happy baby ????
The first time I met Sophie she made me feel relaxed and was bursting with enthusiasm and knowledge about Ayurveda and Reiki. She talked me through the process and answered all my questions with warmth, ease and understanding.
I would totally recommend Sophie for any treatments. Her professionalism is second to none, you’ll leave feeling fantastic and hopefully will feel the the way I do.
Right from the start of my consultation, Sophie immediately made me feel as ease and made a difficult conversation easy. Sophie gave me lots of recommendations. My favourite is the cumin and honey! When I wasn’t sure about something, or it just wasn’t working for me, Sophie was on hand to give me helpful tips and advise. So far I’m feeling great, all thanks to Sophie!
I was so glad when we could meet Sophie in person. She is a beautiful spiritual warm healer. We both felt immediately comfortable in her presence. Sessions with Sophie are a very positive experience and we are looking forward to our next treatment!
My first session was very enjoyable, I didn’t really know what to expect or what would be involved so I found the start of the session with the explanation into Reiki and what the treatment style is very useful! The room was very welcoming and the overall vibe relaxing. I felt relaxed in the treatment as you’d explained previously what you were going to do, so nothing came as a surprise even though I couldn’t always tell where you were standing!
The time passed really quickly (which was a shame) so I definitely felt relaxed. I’d love to have another session to see if the outcomes were any different to what I experienced in that first one
My first session with Sophie was such a joy, she made me feel so comfortable straight from the get go. Sophie asked me plenty of questions and made me feel like she genuinely cared about what I had to say and how I was feeling throughout my time with her. She held a space for me to be able to express exactly what I wanted to achieve from my sessions with her. Sophie has such a wonderful nature and natural way of making you feel you have known her a while. I felt throughout our sessions I could open up and give my reasonings for being there. I cannot recommend Sophie enough. Thank you for such a wonderful experience.
