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 Sapphire level starts right now, with immediate access to secret blog posts that I don’t share anywhere else and once weekly 1:1 wisdom guidance sessions.
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. Here you’ll find monthly anchor posts, yoga tutorials, Ayurvedic (un)recipes, and other secret content.
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.
How to Schedule Your 1:1 Wisdom Guidance
Go ahead and set up your first appointment on my Calendly page here. Unless you tell me otherwise, I’ll send you a separate invite to make that our standing time. If you can’t find a time that works for you on Calendly, email me and we will be able to find another option (I always have secret appointments).
How We Meet
Join me in my private Zoom room (https://zoom.us/j/5069119165). Or, if you prefer to meet by phone, just email me for instructions. I’ll send you the audio recording of our sessions within 48 hours so you can listen and reabsorb all that happened.
Cancellations and Refunds
If you have a conflict with an appointment time, email me as soon as possible to reschedule. I understand life can be unpredictable, so my policy allows you to reschedule up to two times per year (for illness, family emergency, etc.) with less than 24 hours notice. After the two same-day cancelations have been used, you will forfeit the session and will wait until our next scheduled time. I appreciate your understanding of this policy.
The value of this work deepens with consistency. Most people receive the greatest benefit from a minimum six-month commitment, though many clients have been working with me for years to manage the ups and downs of life. If you decide to cancel or change your membership, send me an email five business days before your monthly billing will be renewed and I’ll make the change. Due to the nature of this work, no refunds on unused sessions are available.
I look forward to seeing you in the treetops (and on Zoom!).
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 Journal
How motherhood slowed me down
It’s just after 1:00 p.m. My three-year-old daughter and I make the slow walk from her school back to our home. It is a walk that takes me seven minutes alone, but with her, we take about a half hour. It’s filled with questions: What’s that flower? What’s under that pile of leaves? Why is that man walking? And of course, there is time to say hello to her friend Gustavo, who owns the hardware store down the street.
This is her time. A time to meander and to not be pushed. A space to become fully immersed in that timeless state of childhood that I am sad to admit is not possible in all other parts of her day.
When the clock strikes midnight
I’m not going out tonight.
We have an invitation. A party under the stars and next to a fire, filled with people we love. But I am tired. So I will stay in instead.
The revolution
My daughter called to me from her carseat, her voice tinged with sleep. The four-hour drive to our new home in a small Mexican town was overlapping with her naptime, but there was no other way to do it. The road was empty except for us, so I picked her up out of her carseat, wrapped her in my scarf, and nursed her to sleep on my lap. As she dozed in my arms, I watched a dog take off running at top speed along a row of restaurants. Something about the freedom of its movement, unhindered by cages or leashes, stirred some ancient part of me.
“On this path effort never goes to waste, and there is no failure.”
