Welcome to PARE Studio - a sensory space dedicated to slowing down and reconnecting with ourselves through the body and the senses.

I’m Sophie - a Yin and Barre teacher, fragrance specialist and founder of PARE Studio, where my work in scent and wellbeing come together.

Before moving to Bristol and sharing my love of Yin Yoga, I worked in the fragrance industry in London, across consulting, education, training and development for leading perfume houses. The desire to blend these two worlds inspired me to create PARE Studio, where I share embodied practices, scent workshops and immersive experiences in Bristol and beyond.

At the heart of my work is a fascination with who we are beneath the layers of conditioning, daily demands and roles we accumulate throughout our lives. So much of what makes up our essential selves can become difficult to access under all the hats we wear and the obligations we carry.

For me, movement, stillness and scent can all offer a way back in; opportunities to slow down, turn our attention inwards and reconnect with the deeper parts of ourselves. Through my work, I explore the relationship between scent and self, considering how scent shapes the way we feel and interacts with the brain, nervous system and emotional response. Alongside this, I draw on practices that build awareness, presence and regulation, creating space to feel more connected to ourselves, others and the world around us.

My signature experience, Ritual to Rest, brings these elements together through scent, yin yoga and guided rest. It’s the fullest expression of what PARE Studio is all about: paring back the excess to reveal our essence.

In 2026, I launched Bristol Scent Club - a community for fragrance lovers in Bristol, hosting events and meet-ups for people keen to explore, share and connect through scent.

Through PARE Studio and Bristol Scent Club, I work with individuals through regular classes and events, alongside collaborations with retreat venues, wellbeing brands and organisations, creating something distinctive and memorable for their guests, teams and communities.
