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.
To Robin, year 44
Love letters are healing for the writer, recipient, and reader. May this letter offer healing and celebration of my partner on his 44th year. Dear Robin, I wanted to give you a gift for your birthday, but your preternatural satisfaction with what you already have...
March Awake in The Nest: Strength
March's Awake in The Nest recording is live! (Available to all Nest members at the Silver level and higher.) Our theme this month is strength, but strength isn't always as it appears. Jump in to walk the continuum between strength, shadow, and superpower. You may not...
The Boon of Bone Broth
If you would have asked me five years ago for my bone broth recipe, I would have stared back at you blankly. That was a time of high-horse vegetarianism for me. I was studying with a teacher at the time who was militant about not eating meat, so I fell in line. I...
To Leonie, Year 6
Every year on my daughter's birthday I write her a love letter. One day may she will get to read them. One of my favorite things about who I've become as your mama is my commitment to honesty. I’ll always show you the value of the truth by telling you the truth. That...
On Courage and Fools
Where do we get the audacity? The Fool is the first card of the major arcana in a tarot deck (though it is technically card 0, pure possibility). We are more familiar with the hero’s journey than the Fool’s journey, but both begin at the same place – blindness to what...
The Wisdom of Strength
There’s a pearl of wisdom I want to share, but it requires me to first untie the story of a pearl as you may know it. A pearl’s origin is a story juicy with symbolism. A grain of sand makes its way into a shell and begins to irritate it. The irritation, over time,...
Sensational Sensual Pumpkin Pudding
There’s something about the mouthfeel of pudding that makes it especially a sensual treat. My favorite way to get most pleasure out of this week’s pumpkin pudding: I swirl my spoon in my bowl and bring it to my mouth. I lightly slide my lips over the spoonful and pull...
February Awake in The Nest: Sensuality
February's Awake in The Nest recording is live! (Available to all Nest members at the Silver level and higher.) Our theme this month is sensuality, and we're diving into the heart of the topic -- our bodies. In this month's call we are writing a love letter to our...
Five senses meditation
Sensuality gets us into our bodies. And being in our bodies gets us out of our heads. I remember a time I was hanging on the edge of a proverbial cliff. Everything I thought was stable suddenly was not. Terribly lost, I hiked a nearby mountain. Numb and deflated, I...
A Pelvis-Centered Life
Where is your wisdom seated? When the mind is in charge, we are top heavy. We act quickly and for short-term gain. Our necks extend beyond our shoulders, vigilant in our search for danger and new FOMO possibilities. It's a posture rife with negative consequences for...
The Wisdom of Sensuality
(audio version below) I have written a few sultry posts in this journal, but let me make this clear up front: This isn’t going to be a sultry post. It’s easy to confuse things, because when I say that we should engage in the wisdom of sensuality, of course the first...
When to Say Yes
When it hits your body like a wave crashing against the shore. When you finally step out of the fog. When you can barely hold yourself in your seat the moment you see it. When the butterflies making a home in your belly dissolve like vapor in the sun. When it feels...
Protection: A Natural Protocol for COVID 19
(no audio version, resting my voice) I got COVID this week. When my daughter came to lie on my lap with a fever and aches, I knew it wouldn’t be long for me to get it. (We're both doing fine, btw. We each had one really hard day that left as quickly as it came.)...
January Awake in The Nest: Protection
January's Awake in The Nest recording is live! (Available to all Nest members at the Silver level and higher.) Our theme this month is protection. Which means it's time to say YES to our NO. Mark your calendars for next month -- Wednesday, February 16 at 11:00 a.m....

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.”
