Befriend your body. Rewrite the story of your life.
My Clients –
Have a lot to say.
And what they have to say is much more powerful than anything I could tell you myself about this work.
Sonja is a walking angel among us. In her strong yet gentle presence I felt instantly safe and at ease. She exudes grace and loving kindness in a way only a mother could know. She is an open channel to the divine wisdom. Each session I have felt so deeply seen and heard and held. It is so refreshing and humbling to receive healing from someone who walks you home to your own medicine within your heart. That’s all we could ever ask for. To walk each other home to the truth within. And remind each other our own personal power and magic. I am forever grateful to know her and to have received her gifts
Taking part in Sonja’s bodystory class and sharing with her and others allowed my body and heart to have a more clear voice about its wants, needs and desires. Sonja created a sacred safe container for us to share openly and spontaneously. She sheds light on the process by which we may be diverging from nature’s rhythms leading to us feeling separate from ourselves, or leading to dis-ease or unclarity etc. She introduces tools of journaling and other creative tools to help us get in touch with any barriers set by ourselves and to realign with nature.
Sonja, you opened the space and the gates of my grief, you gave me tools to grieve, to rebuild, to love, to hope. Your amazing wisdom and loving heart have made this experience one of love and transformation, despite the pain.
The biggest change….I don’t see myself as broken. I changed my narrative to observe the choices I made as necessary and I did my best with what I was given. I became my own hero and unashamed to tell my story as it was courageously written by me.
Body story was a truly transformative experience. Sonja holds space to feel all the feelings and move through stuck emotions. She beautifully weaves wisdom with her own intuition in a way that creates profound connection to the ancient teachings. I’m leaving with a deeper understanding of self, confidence in my ability to choose healing and a whole lot of self compassion. I highly recommend Sonja as a teacher and guide!
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.
I love this work because it offers a different look at my entire life and helps to shine light on areas that my mind can not access because I’m living inside my own life.
I couldn’t even look at myself in the mirror and say a nice thing about myself when we first started working together. I can say all kinds of nice things to myself now.
I connected to my intuition, which permeated to all areas of my life. I learned to look for answers in my body rather than outside of me, and to remember to surrender.
I have been blessed to live and work on many different lands amongst many different people. I acknowledge the gifts my ancestors have unwittingly given me that allow me a life of choice and geographic mobility (and also their teachings about staying still, which I’m still learning). Currently I call home the unceded land of the Snuneymuxw First Nation on Vancouver Island. I humbly acknowledge the history and the present truth that rests here and everywhere I’ve lived. I am eternally grateful for everyone who has held the wisdom of the land intact despite centuries of efforts to separate us from its teachings.

I like the skins on sweet potatoes. I enjoy their texture and I like knowing that there are nutrients in them. I also don’t particularly like peeling them. It adds an extra step that is not necessary, which makes a difference in the limited time I have to cook us a meal. But she doesn’t like them. If I leave the skins on anything — sweet potatoes, carrots, grapes, even chickpeas — she sticks out her tongue and spits until the offending characters out of her mouth. Perhaps the texture is too much for her smooth baby tongue. Or maybe she doesn’t have the right technique to adequately grind the skins down with these new teeth of hers. My job is to smooth the rough road ahead of her, so I peel the sweet potatoes before I put them in the food we will share.
This too with love
I lived on Kauai for the past two years. During that time I never seemed to see the news. No one I knew had televisions and I almost never saw a paper. But as we are transitioning our life to Mexico, I have been stationed at my in-laws’ house in a suburban purgatory for a month. This is my vacation to the rest of the world. Here, the news is a part of life.
It’s not that I value being uninformed. Quite the contrary. It is that I value learning what I need to learn without taking a healthy dose of fear alongside it. It is possible to do this, though it does take a bit of work because everyone has a slant, including me.
How I learned to become an Ayurvedic baker (plus a recipe for cookies you can eat for breakfast)
When I was in my early twenties, I woke very, very early and hauled myself into a kitchen of a cafe in Boulder, Colorado. I flipped on the lights at 5:00 a.m., turned on the ovens, and spent my morning hefting gigantic trays of steaming muffins, pies, and cookies from back of house to front.
Baking has been in my DNA since I was born, and it was delicious fun to live out my childhood fantasies as a professional baker. But as much as I loved spreading the perfect cream cheese frosting on a carrot cake, this new direction kept appearing for me. At the same time I was learning to perfect my cheesecake recipe, I was learning about the effects of refined sugar on my body. I was whipping up layer cakes while doing candida cleanses, and suddenly it just fell apart. I left my job as a sugarplum drug dealer and sadly tucked my apron deep into the back of my pantry.
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.”
