Meet the Team

At Thrive and Shine, our team is committed to supporting survivors on their journey to healing and empowerment. Take a moment to read a brief summary of who we are and why we do what we do. 

Sophie - CEO/ Founder and survivor of abusive partners. I lost my close friend, my dad and my nan over 3 years. So I know the pain that bereavement brings. I’m loud and full of sparkle but also an empath with a big heart. Don’t let my “emo” appearance scare you. I am friendly and love meeting new people! 

Katie - Co - founder/Team leader and fellow abuse survivor. Katie is a long time friend and has a heart of pure gold. She's a brilliant listener and makes everyone around her smile. If her and I are together, you can guarantee there will be giggles errupting but she also knows when to be serious and truly cares about making other people’s lives better in whatever ways we can. 

Grace - My other team leader and my best friend. This girl is the perfect blend of straight talk and love. She has experienced domestic abuse in the past and will not judge. She will offer practical advice without being too harsh and is super supportive! This woman is never afraid to tell me when I’m overthinking things but is also the most supportive person I know. Sarcastic and full of laughter but also a true warrior and compassionate towards others.
