Sohee Carpenter, PhD
Sohee Carpenter has been online coaching since 2012. In that time, she’s built quite a reputation with over 615,000 Instagram followers and earned a PhD in sports science.
Sohee's also special for another reason… she’s the coach that inspired Apotheo.

The People She helps
ELT Method is considered one of the leading coaching companies for helping people improve their relationship with food, fitness, and their bodies.
They help people reach their aesthetic goals, but only if they’re aligned with what they truly want – Sohee and her team do a lot of digging to get to deeply rooted ‘why’ behind her clients’ goals.
Life Before Apotheo
At one point, Sohee was coaching 96 clients at once, all via email.
This landed her into a bunch of issues, such as:
- Missing certain communications
- Losing track of client information
- A time-consuming and frustratingly inefficient business
But seeing as every other coach at the time was only using email, this was the only system she knew… until a conversation with Adam.
“We got to talking, and he asked what I would want in a portal. By then, I had been coaching a few years so I had a very good idea of what I needed. Over a few months, he started building Apotheo, and then we transferred everyone over. That’s where I’ve been ever since.”

How Apotheo has helped Sohee
- Removed all the grunt work of managing multiple files and folders for a single client by bringing all their information into a single place.
- She can seamlessly tailor her coaching based on the type of client. For example, if a client isn’t focused on aesthetics, she’ll remove the need to track measurements, weight, and progress pictures.
- Sohee now runs a team of coaches. Apotheo gives her peace of mind by allowing her to oversee every client’s progress and communications. This allows her to seamlessly move clients between coaches if and when needed without losing any information or sacrificing the level of service each client receives.
Do you need a big following for a successful business?
Sohee says, “No!”
That might seem contradictory, seeing as she’s grown to 615,000+ followers on Instagram. But she revealed she had a full coaching roster with just 900 followers. And today, other Apotheo coaches have full coaching rosters WITH a waiting list yet have minimal social media presence.
