Sofia Angelova
Doctor of Psychiatry and Medical Psychology | Clinical Psychologist | Integrative Therapist |
Well-being Coach
About Me:
I believe that the path to happiness and harmony begins with a full understanding of our unique human nature. My mission is to help you go beyond superficial symptoms and discover the deep balance between biology, psychology, and spirituality.
Focusing on Robert Cloninger’s scientific model of personality and the methodology of Anthropedia coaching, I support people in the process of building lasting emotional stability, inner peace, and authentic happiness.
Individual sessions with me offer a holistic and deeply personalized approach tailored to your personal history, body, emotions, and life context. My practice is grounded in the proprietary TERA method, which harmoniously integrates contemporary consciousness science, clinical psychology, body-oriented work, and the rhythms of nature. The goal is to achieve full self-awareness, nervous system regulation, and lasting inner transformation on the path to personal eudaimonia.

My Journey
I believe that the deepest wisdom lies not only in dry theory, but in the way we bring it into our lives—through the food we prepare, the home we organize, the land we cultivate, and the love with which we raise our children. My mission on the team is to serve as a bridge between the ancient cosmic sciences, Bulgarian knowledge of herbs and natural codes, and their living, practical application in everyday life.
After more than 20 years of intensive experience in the world of media, the written word, and public communications, my greatest and most genuine rebirth came with the decision to become a mother. In order to give life and support the potential of a new person, I realized that I first needed to rebuild myself—into a new person who is in balance with the maternal archetype, yet also serves as a harmonious mirror for the future miracle of this new human being. Through somatic practices, I worked through my ancestral imprints and the family and societal patterns that hindered my personal growth, learned the language of the body, and connected with the ancient rhythms of the earth and the sky.
Today, together with Dr. Sofia Angelova, we combine her precise scientific and clinical approach with my applied alchemy of everyday life. Because knowledge is truly valuable when it brings peace to the home, health to the body, and joy to a child’s eyes.
