Befriend your body. Rewrite the story of your life.
Dear beautiful –
From the bottom of my wisdom heart, thank you for signing up for The Nest. Your membership at the Silver level starts right now, with immediate access to secret blog posts that I don’t share anywhere else.
Your membership begins today, and you’re already logged in. If you need to log in again, there’s a red login button at the top of each page here on Sevamama.com. You’ll also find a secondary login in the right middle of the page when you access the Journal (what I call my blog) tab.
The Silver level is a wonderful place to explore the teachings I offer, including monthly themed anchor posts, yoga tutorials that you can do at home, wildcard posts, and Ayurvedic (un)recipes.
Your membership also gives you access to Awake in The Nest, a virtual gathering where we’ll dive deep into a monthly theme. Through wisdom talks, embodiment exercises, journaling, and more you’ll explore your relationship with that month’s topic and learn how to walk in alignment with what you really want. We gather on the third Wednesday of the month at 11:00 a.m. PT. You’ll receive a reminder and a Zoom link a week before we gather.
If you’re ready to soar, take a look at Nest levels that include 1:1 Wisdom Guidance. You can change or cancel your membership at any time. Due to the nature of this work, no refunds are available for partial months.
I look forward to seeing you in the treetops.
Much love,
Sonja
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."

The Sacred Act of Peeling Almonds (Video)
There was a time when someone suggested I peel a cup of almonds. I couldn’t believe that anyone had the time. I think I laughed at the idea and popped a few whole into my mouth. My ego has done a lot of downsizing since then.
You see, according to Ayurveda, the skins don’t digest well and turn into ama (toxins) in the body. However, almonds are highly revered as a food that builds vitality. So they are an important medicine. And part of their healing is that they require us to spend some time with them first.
Vintage silk haori: A birth story
I wanted to do things really well after my daughter was born.
No, I wanted to do them perfectly.
While I was pregnant, I would watch a mother drag her screaming toddler out of a store and imagine offering perfect discipline that would prevent such an episode. I would see a disheveled mother tossing her kid out of the car at school, cold toast in her hand, and imagine how my perfectly scheduled day would allow us to arrive on time, if not early.
Finding gold in abhyanga
Maybe it’s that I didn’t sleep well last night. Maybe it’s that I’m stressed about building a business. Or maybe it’s just one of those times in my life when I have walked the edge of the cliff for too long and am getting ready to jump beyond where I am. It doesn’t really matter why. It is, and that is enough.
