Your energy and presence are your greatest resources as a leader.
SOFIA VON CELSING — GROUNDED POWER
1:1 coaching for senior women leaders who refuse to choose between being powerful and being well. You can have both, and I'll show you how.
ABOUT SOFIA
I know what it is like to look fine from the outside…
I burned out at 27 at my dream job at Spotify. Was on antidepressants by 28. Recovered the long way, through clinical stress rehab, yoga, mindfulness, coaching, personal development, Positive Intelligence, and therapy.
Years later, as an HR Business Partner & Head of People Operations at Stockholm-scale-ups, I saw the same patterns that drove me to exhaustion in so many brilliant women leaders. Same operating system of produce, push, please, prove, repeat. Same trajectory.
Most of the coaching they had tried was about performing better, and the therapists didn't understand their world. None of it looked at the whole woman and her ecosystem, and nothing reached the part underneath, the nervous system, the operating system, the body, the inner voice. So I built a program that did.
Grounded Power is the result. Fifteen years of body-first work, brought into the room where senior women actually live: the 11 pm meeting replay, the scattered focus in the boardroom, the bedtime they keep missing, the calendar that has stopped matching the inner compass.

THE METHOD
Energy. Presence. Impact.
Three pillars that build on each other. We start with your energy, because everything rests on it. Then your presence, and the impact that follows naturally.
Read about each pillar
Energy
We start with the foundation. Sleep, recovery, nervous-system regulation, breath, fuel, movement, soultime/fun/connection with others.
This is the foundation, everything else rests on it. When your energy is steady, your focus and your decisions get sharper on their own. You learn what is actually leaking your energy and what fuels it. We do real work, not generic morning-routine advice. Most clients sleep better within the first two weeks.
Impact
With your energy fuelled and your presence steady, we turn to the impact you are here to make. Here, you get clear on what only you can do, where you want to go and what truly deserves your attention. You lead from your values, contribute from your zone of genius and expand your influence, without carrying it all alone.
Whether it is a bigger leadership role, a growing company or an entirely new chapter, your priorities are clearer. Your decisions hold. Your delegation deepens. And your impact grows without costing you everything you love.
Presence
Energy gives you the capacity to lead. Presence determines how you use it. Here, you learn to lead yourself before you lead others: quieting the inner critic, regulating your emotions, directing your focus and staying grounded when the pressure rises.
You become less caught in overthinking, proving and reacting—and more able to listen deeply, communicate clearly and make courageous decisions. At work. With your family. With yourself. Confidence becomes something you inhabit, not something you perform.
