Sofie Pirkle

For over two decades, Cult and Trauma Recovery Expert Sofie Pirkle has taught thousands of survivors of abuse, trauma, controlling relationships, toxic environments and cults - many who are now Community Leaders, Wounded Healers or Conscious Entrepreneurs - to become Luscious and Lucrative Badass Leaders.

She teaches these courageous and powerful people how to reduce physical and emotional pain and to feel safe, especially in their bank accounts, so they can actually have fun while making their true impact. Feeling their luscious creativity and having lucrative success on their own terms, whether in their families, business, Congress, or Hollywood, her clients go from being Survivors to Badass Leaders.

She is an expert in teaching community leaders and

transformational leaders how to create a safe community and culture, discerning subtle differences between a controlling or dependent cult-like environment and an empowering safe culture. Known as their "Canary in the Coal Mine", and "Money Recovery Magic" her clients have recovered from thousands of dollars up to millions of dollars in their businesses, communities, and lives, identifying subtle yet money-sabotaging situations, client repellant and recognizing financial abuse and exploitation.

A cult survivor herself, Sofie was born and raised in one of the most widely accepted and controversial groups of our modern time: Scientology. Having the courage to escape, heal the soul, and make her true impact, Sofie has a unique knack for working with those who have come from controlling families, abusive relationships, and high demand groups - especially cults.

Sofie understands firsthand how chronic and complex symptoms of post-traumatic stress can range anywhere from mildly irritating to debilitating, how abuse and cult-induced phobias can make even the most confident people terrified of being truly seen, the feelings of feast or famine, self-sabotage, and the unique challenges these very skilled and smart people can have in making and keeping their money.

She is a 5th degree black belt international judge, artistic director of a San Francisco dance company, and bodywork teacher trainer. She has experience in litigation as a translator of cult language and doctrine and in rock climbing the limestone cliffs of Thailand. Sofie makes choices between teaching international governments how to support survivors of human trafficking and child sex slavery and working on leadership projects with highly influential celebrities. She is fiercely devoted to showing up for all of the parts of herself, her clients, and her communities to support them to feel relief, love, and safety while shining and living a lounging, luscious and lucrative life.

Badass Leaders have the courage to lead their own lives. Whether it's through her books, home study programs, participating in her workshops, or working privately with her, Sofie turns Survivors into Badass Leaders. Sofie's courageous devotion to your journey will touch your heart and ease your soul.

You can find Sofie dancing with her preschool-aged son and baby girl, throwing the occasional tantrum with them, and enjoying extra spicy home-cooked Thai food made by her lovely supportive husband of over twelve years in sunny Oakland, CA.
