Meet Your Hosts …
🌿 Your Host – Sophie Anderton
Founder of Anam Kara | Wellness Advocate | Nature Enthusiast
Sophie’s wellness journey began after a childhood accident left her unable to walk for three years. When modern medicine failed, ancient healing practices such as reflexology and acupuncture helped her recover, sparking a lifelong passion for holistic health. She went on to explore yoga, meditation, movement and contrast therapy, proving that “it’s never too late” for the body and mind to transform.
She founded Anam Kara, a new wellness centre at Glendalough House, as a space for community, restoration and connection to nature. Sophie’s vision is to create a modern sanctuary in the Wicklow Mountains, blending ancient healing practices with contemporary wellness.
