Sophia Hoskins
Sophia Hoskins
Mind Body Wellness Coach
You've built a life that looks impressive from the outside. But somewhere between the calendar, the obligations, and the noise — you lost the thread back to yourself. I'm Sophia, a wellness coach and E-RYT 500 registered yoga instructor. I work with executives, athletes, and entrepreneurs who are done running on empty and ready to operate from clarity instead of pressure. My approach centers on one idea: there's a story quietly running your life — about what you have to do, who you have to be, what's possible for you. Together, we find that story, rewrite it, and anchor the new one in your body through yoga, breathwork, and somatic practice. Not just insight — embodied change. Every program blends: Narrative coaching — identifying the belief that's been blocking you and building the new story you'll actually live Mindfulness & MBSR-informed practices — for focus, nervous system regulation, and stress reduction Yoga themed to your goals — strong vinyasa to embody where you're going, yin and restorative to release what no longer belongs Somatic awareness and imagery work — so the shift holds when life gets loud again You don't need to do more. You need to feel like yourself again. That's where we start. I'm also a licensed Marriage & Family Therapist (Hawaii MFT License #184 and E-RYT 500 registered yoga instructor. Services offered through this profile are coaching and wellness programs — not therapy, counseling, or mental health treatment.

Great Bend, KS

 

Great Bend is a city in and the county seat of Barton County, Kansas, United States. It is named for its location at the point where the course of the Arkansas River bends east then southeast. As of the 2020 census, the population of the city was 14,733. It is home to Barton Community College.

Great Bend is located at the intersection of U.S. Route 281 and U.S. Route 56 highways in Kansas. Driving by highway, it is approximately 116 miles (187 km) northwest of Wichita and 60 miles (97 km) southwest of Hays.

Lying in the Great Bend Sand Prairie region of the Great Plains, the city is situated on the north side of the Arkansas River where the river's course shifts from northeast to southeast. Dry Walnut Creek, a tributary of nearby Walnut Creek, flows east along the northern edge of the city. Cheyenne Bottoms, a large inland wetland, is located approximately 6 miles (9.7 km) to the northeast. According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 10.71 square miles (27.74 km2), of which 10.60 square miles (27.45 km2) is land and 0.11 square miles (0.28 km2) is water.

Before American settlement of the area, the site of Great Bend was located in the northern reaches of Kiowa territory. Claimed first by France as part of Louisiana and later acquired by the United States with the Louisiana Purchase in 1803, it lay within the area organized by the U.S. as Kansas Territory in 1854. Kansas became a state in 1861, and the state government delineated the surrounding area as Barton County in 1867.

The first settlers of the area arrived in 1870. Living in sod houses and dugouts, they worked as buffalo hunters since trampling by bison herds precluded crop farming. In 1871, the Great Bend Town Company, anticipating the westward construction of the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad, founded Great Bend at a site roughly three miles west of Fort Zarah on the Santa Fe Trail. They named the settlement after its location at the "great bend" in the Arkansas River where the river's course turns eastward. The town began to grow as more settlers arrived over the following year and opened several businesses.

The railroad reached Great Bend in July 1872, and an election at about the same time declared the town the permanent county seat. Great Bend was incorporated as a city soon thereafter. The county courthouse and the city's first public school were built the following year.

Great Bend places a strong emphasis on health and wellness, with the Great Bend Regional Hospital serving as a cornerstone for comprehensive healthcare services.

These spaces provide opportunities for outdoor activities such as walking, jogging, sports, and picnicking.
