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.
The Wisdom of Kapha Dosha
As I said in this post, Ayurveda is meant to be contemplative. This is my contemplation on the wisdom of kapha dosha. There is not a woman alive who could not benefit from kapha dosha. Come to think of it, all people will benefit from befriending this principle made...
Breaking a New Tradition in Yoga
(audio version below) It seems we have a new tradition in yoga. It sounds like this: You don’t have enough certification to call yourself a yoga teacher. How can you say you’re a yoga teacher when you drive that car? You actually eat meat? You can’t even do...
Dear Men: What to Do About the Feminine Awakening
(audio version below) I once had a conversation with a woman who had spent 15 years as a sex worker. She was the one whom men came to when they could not go to anyone else. You may not think of it like this, but she called her profession therapy. I could have asked...

August's Awake in The Nest recording is live! (Available to all Nest members at the Silver level and higher.) This month's teaching is all about how to get right with your not-so-wise traditions (aka, bad habits). Grab a journal and get ready to flip the script.. Mark...
The Wisdom of Pitta Dosha
As I said in this post, Ayurveda is meant to be contemplative. This is my contemplation on the wisdom of pitta dosha. I love how much I love things. My passion for writing, walking, cooking, Ayurveda, tall trees, picking wild blackberries, backyard gardening,...
Ghee: Better Butter
It had been years since I’d eaten butter, but there I was with two pounds of it. These were my early days of studying Ayurveda. Suspicious as I was about butter, I dropped it into a big pot on my stove and watched it bubble away into something I was told was medicine....
The Wisdom of Vata Dosha
As I said in this post, Ayurveda is meant to be contemplative. This is my contemplation on the wisdom of vata dosha. Like any wind, vata dosha picks up whatever is not weighted down. The drier a leaf, the easier it blows across a road. And where that leaf will end up...
Tradition Serves: How to Feed Your Hunger
When we are very hungry, taking only a spoonful of a meal can make us lose our ravenous minds. However, if we know that there is a kitchen full of grandmothers cooking in the old ways, we can be at peace with the pits in our bellies. Because when they are done -- and...
Why You Don’t Get Ayurveda
If you don’t “get” Ayurveda, the problem isn't you. It’s that Ayurveda isn’t meant to be gotten. Ayurveda is not like Western medicine. We don't address the heart without looking at the quality of the blood, or treat the mind as if what’s going on in the large...
Yoga Nidra on Sweetness
Life is challenging. And it’s easy to become jaded or cynical in the face of struggle. But cynicism is not your true nature, more like a heavy blanket you wrap around you for protection. But what if you could find peace in a different kind of protection? No matter who...
Spiritual Lessons from Paw Patrol
One of the last birthday parties my daughter attended before the pandemic was a Paw Patrol theme. And because it was a Mexican birthday party, it included a massive table filled with Paw Patrol-themed candy and toys, a Paw Patrol piñata, a blue Paw Patrol cake, and a...

What Dolly Parton Teaches Us
There is a body signal that some adults send out when they meet my daughter. The only word to describe it is intimidation. Yes, my daughter is five, and she intimidates grownups. It’s not just my daughter. If you were to put these intimidated adults into any room with...
Who Do You Think You Are?
One of the most boring things about adults is the way they delegitimize fantasy. If I ask my clients to imagine what they would do if there were no limits or consequences, the newer ones will go completely blank. Or, they take a step into the magical world of make...

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.”
