Working with Sonja has been a gift. I was at a really difficult point in my life, having left my marriage (a relationships of nearly thirty years), which meant leaving my home and moving into an apartment with my college-age autistic son. We needed relief from the pain in our former home. I felt broken, tired, scared, and shaky, but I knew I needed to provide for my son and also be strong for my adult daughter. What would my life look like now? How could I repair and rebuild? Who even was I? Then I had the opportunity to work with Sonja, who I think of as my soul teacher. As a life coach, she is tuned in, intuitive, curious, kind, and so, so helpful. One of the first things she had me do was learn the practice of going into my body to understand what I was feeling deep inside. At that point, I was so disconnected from my body and interior. I had forgotten, or never known, the complex range of physical sensations inside me that reflected my thoughts and feelings. I wasn’t used to asking my body for answers. Sometimes I felt dead from the neck down, and it took practice for me to be able to go inward in a new way. I’ve been able to talk to Sonja about my past, my emotions, my doubts, my inspirations, my family, my writing, and my hopes for growing stronger as a human being. I find the exercises she does with me fascinating. It’s a process of being listened to deeply—and also learning to listen to myself. I want to feel integrated and whole. Sonja is teaching me how. This has given me the strength to face the past and start reimagining the future. Most of all, the work Sonja does with me helps me to understand the present and to stay within these moments I’m given. I couldn’t always express what this “Work” we’re doing is, but I encouraged my 26-year-old daughter try it too. And she is! I wish I would have had tools like this in my twenties or during other stages of my life. Yet, I know it’s never too late to learn. Please give it a try yourself!
