Creative Empowerment for Experts & Explorers
Dare to Play & Level up Your Life
Hey, I’m Sofia Yotova, more widely known as Octophina!
Welcome to my creative playground. This is where you access your innate creative power through open-ended, playful explorations and experiences that free your mind.
If you’re stuck, burned out, or ready for what’s next, I help you reconnect with your clarity, confidence, and courage, so you can level up your life.
I'm an international multidisciplinary educator and creative empowerment coach supported by the Dutch Ministry of Health, Wellfare, and Sports. I am a TEDx speaker, Forbes 30 under 30 social entrepreneur, and curator with professional expertise across food, art, sustainability, technology, culture, education, and social innovation.
For 15+ years I have been empowering people of all ages around the world through creative play and coaching them through identity shifts, reinvention, and breakthroughs in multiple areas of their life.

Come on My Playground!
I build empowering creative playgrounds, where you learn to connect in authentic ways, nurture your well-being, and entertain your inner child through creativity.
I work with people between 10 and 80 years old online and in person. I design and facilitate single player (individual sessions) and multiplayer Creative Playdates playdates (small-group immersive creative experiences).
My Creative Playdates enable you to awaken, unleash, and channel your creativity into self-exploration, self-expression, and self-care, so you feel empowered on the playground of everyday life.
