WHO AM I?
My artistic name is Sofia May, and my birth name is Silvia Mocikova. I chose the pseudonym to empower myself and to allow myself to start anew. Sofia does not carry any baggage, she is free, creative, and courageous.
ARTIST
I love creating mindful meditative art that heals and inspires. I draw inspiration from within when in a meditative state, from nature or photography. As a new artist, I like to explore so I do not stick to a certain style. At least not for now.
ART HEALING LIFE COACH
Imagine a beautiful pond with clear waters and a calm surface. You are walking closer, feeling a soft grass beneath your feet, a warm sun above your head, and a gentle breeze that hardly makes the leaves tremble.
You want to see the pond’s beauty, so you lean over it and see the reflection of yourself surrounded by water. You smile, you feel happy.
Is this your daily experience? Are you happy to see your face in the mirror? How is your mind’s pond? Is it clear? Is it murky, are there heavy stones buried at the bottom of it, or is there dirt and green algae completely covering the surface, so you cannot see yourself anymore? Is there life in your pond or is it lifeless? How do other people perceive your pond?
This is where my Art Healing Coaching sessions begin; if you could draw or paint this pond, you would find out where you are now and where you would like to be. Art Healing Life Coaching is a self-discovery journey to explore your inner landscape, become aware of, accept, heal, and release the aspects that no longer serve you or hinder you from achieving your full potential. My mission is empowering empaths to heal and thrive through the blend of Art, Yoga, Qigong, and Reiki.
AN EMPATH
Why do I want to help empaths? Being an empath myself I know how hard it is to live amongst people who are unaware of and refuse to be responsible for their own emotions, people who project negative intentions onto us and try to fool us with their fake smiles or sweet talk, people who like to create drama and throw their stuff at us making us feel responsible, anxious, stressed, exhausted, and unwell.
My art healing journey began when I was three years old. One of my kindergarten teachers used to hit us with a ruler on our little palms. I was a lively and curious kid, so I used to get in trouble. When that happened, I started to believe that ‘I deserve to be punished because I am a bad girl.’ I felt ashamed of myself, so I did not tell anyone about this and turned to art as my way of dealing with my suppressed emotions. I used to draw healing herbs from an atlas or make handmade presents for my family. Later in life Art healing journey assisted me in recovery from burnout, and breakup and I use it whenever feeling confused, and tired but also inspired and awakened.
