Souwer and her brothers were raised by relatives as her mother died and her father was unable to look after them. Her nickname Sophie comes from the novel Sophie's Choice. She studied nursing at Hanze University of Applied Sciences and has a bachelor's degree in obstetrics from University of Midwifery Amsterdam Groningen.[1]
