​​"Sophia strives to inspire and empower women and encourage them to follow their dreams. She is Australia's first female BJJ black belt, World champion, Ms Figure champion, mother, role model, and all round inspiration to women across the globe.”

Evelyn Sutton, Founder of JiuJiteira Magazine

"As the first female to earn the rank of black belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu in Australia, Sophia paved the way for athletes such as myself. As the first female black belt to invest her time and expertise in me and the women of Australia, she has fundamentally changed the course of the sport in our country. Sophia is living proof that a woman can be strong, intelligent, outstanding in her field(s), a mother, a business owner, a leader, a learner, a coach. If every community had more women to look to like Sophia, our daughters, sisters, mothers, girlfriends would all be empowered, confident and determined." - Jess Fraser, Founder of Australian Girls in Gi

To sum it up, Sophia is a total badass and a living legend who continues to inspire countless women to follow their dreams. Sophia has inspired me, and I am really excited about her new nutrition e-book - it has only just been launched this month and I already have a copy. I can't recommend it enough."
