Hello, 

I was born and raised in Geraardsbergen.

From the womb of Lutgarde Scheirlinckx I put my first singing cries into life. Singing has been a common thread all my life. I studied solo singing and I was part of the choir in music school. I was one of the first singers of the girls' choir "Innamorati di Musica" before I started singing in the adult choir "Pro Musica" led by Dirk Biesemans.

The "Choir life" wouldn't let me go, so I freelanced for 16 years - starting in 2000 - at the Flemish Radio Choir. Untill February 2023, I conducted the choir "Idinga" in Idegem (Belgium) for 8 years. And together with the church choir "Kumbaya" I provided religious services with musical interludes. It warms my heart to be able to help people with my singing talents, to share my knowledge of the voice with them and to experience freedom in singing.

It inspired me to offer people something extra. To be able to sing together several times a year. Since 2022 I have started "Samenzingen met Sofie". Here people can learn all about vocal techniques in a fun and relaxed way. We sing songs from a different theme during every session. "Samenzingen met Sofie" is for people who do not want to commit to the obligations of a choir or a music school but still want to experience a fun and educational evening. 

I feel very happy that I get to sing and have fun with you.
I am here to give you an intimate and sober moment as well as a crazy and fun atmosphere with my motto " sing, smile and shine".

Warm loving regards, 

Sofie

Sofie took a course in "Childhood Trauma" by Jan Bommerez (Belgium/USA) to deepen the understanding of the nervous system. Later on she took multiple workshops lead by Marina Riemslagh (Belgium), founder of  "Live The Connection".

Sofie uses the tool "ABC-destressing in 5min" every day. Also the excercises she learned from Jan and Marina are integrated and thought during Sofie's coaching. 

This way you can sing with a stress-free brain!
