Befriend your body. Rewrite the story of your life.
Hey There –
Welcome to the Journal.
My name is Sonja and I am a healer, erotic educator, and writer of magic words.
Here on the journal, you’ll find posts with inquiries and practices that guide you into your body so you can get in touch with the life force within it. I write about topics like eroticism, intimacy, practical intuition, embodiment, relationships, sex, and non woo-woo spirituality.
Check in each week for new posts. If you like what you read, check out my 1:1 work and group programs.
BodyStory: Hunger Ayurvedic (Un)Recipe: Masala Francais
This masala has been around the world. I first tried herbs de Provence, the inspiration for this combination, from a spice blend sold at Whole Foods in Colorado. Many years later, I created this French-inspired masala while I was living in Mexico. Oregano, rosemary,...
BodyStory: Hunger Week 5
We're in week 5 of BodyStory: Hunger, where we dive into wildfire. Whether it is the wildfire that has left us choking and gasping through our summers or the kind that sends our minds racing to and fro like a squirrel trying to cross a busy road, we all know this type...
November Awake in The Nest: Surrender
November's Awake in The Nest recording is live! (Available to all Nest members at the Silver level and higher.) Our theme this month is surrender. So we dove into the concept of safety, a critical component of feeling okay to surrender. I draw upon the work of one of...
BodyStory: Hunger Ayurvedic (Un)Recipe: Rose Tahini Cookies
Devotion is an attitude that can be applied to just about anything. Including preparing food. Given how many people simultaneously are stretched for time and lack a foundational understanding of what daily nourishment should look like (simple, whole foods-based,...
BodyStory: Hunger Week 4
Week 4 of BodyStory: Hunger was a sort of slow-motion replay. Rather than continue down the path we were on, we tossed aside the map to follow the fire's lead -- deeper into the concept of devotion. This is the kind of thing that happens when you start listening to...
Yoga Nidra: Safe Surrender
This month’s theme in The Nest is surrender. So how could I not offer a yoga nidra practice? Yoga nidra is all about surrender, because when we fall into this state of openness we let go. But what do we let go into? The embrace of the divine. For those of you new to...
The Red Flag of the White Flag
Surrender is a white flag that raises a ton of red flags. We are taught to defend at all costs. We are taught that letting our guard take a break leaves us at risk. Yet we are never taught that keeping our shield up all the time keeps the good stuff out too. Of course...
BodyStory: Hunger Ayurvedic (Un)Recipe: Sweeten Up Masala
I’m so in love with this masala that a base desire in me says I shouldn’t share it. But before labeling myself greedy and selfish, I remember to peel back that desire to see what it’s saying about me. I see that it tells me how much I value the creations I make in my...
BodyStory: Hunger Week 3
Welcome to week 3 of BodyStory: Hunger. Below you'll find the video and audio recordings of our third class. Journaling prompts to work on if you choose: What kinds of cravings have threatened to consume you? Write about food, a person, an experience. Describe what it...
The Wisdom of Surrender
When you are tired. When you are overwhelmed. When you have screamed all there is to scream or have swallowed every whimper until silence is all that greets you. When the thing you thought was gone for good shows up with a suitcase. When you are out of ideas and...
BodyStory: Hunger Ayurvedic (Un)Recipe: Just Right Soup
I don’t know where I would be without soup. No, I do. I’d be ordering a lot more take-out. And feeling quite imbalanced as a result. Soup welcomes that shifting understanding of balance we talked about in week 2 of BodyStory: Hunger. We can make it light or hearty....
BodyStory: Hunger Week 2
Welcome back to BodyStory: Hunger. Below you'll find the video and audio recordings of our second class. Journaling prompts to work on if you choose: What messages does my body hold about balance? When does it tell me that I’ve gone too far? What do I do to get back...
A Witch at Home
I need to clear something up: I am a witch. I’ve secretly known this since childhood -- I used to silently cheer on the crone with the green face (I mean, that girl dropped a house on her sister and stole her best shoes). But I had no one to share this hidden truth...
Devotion to the Day
My kitchen sink was once the site of my greatest sorrow, but is now home of my redemption. As the evening fills the sky outside, I am often standing in front of a sink full of dishes and a messy house, counting down the minutes until I can do an hour or two of leisure...

In Your Words
“I am a changed person because of Sonja and so are my relationships.”
"I was surprised by how well Sonja really listened to me, and not just my words. She is present, and thus can find the deeper expression among all the rambling and 'I don’t knows.'"
"Sonja is a wise, authentic guide teaching deep and mind-blowing truths using a fun, light-hearted approach.
After each session, I feel more in touch with my intuition and filled with optimism."
“On this path effort never goes to waste, and there is no failure.”
