Hello! I’m Sonja.
For 20+ years, I’ve been helping freedom loving executives and entrepreneurs skyrocket their health, energy, strength, and vitality so they can thrive in their body AND their life (hello fun and travel!).
I’ve seen what works and what doesn’t in the health industry. With decades of experience and deep understanding, I help you create a healthy and energized body and lifestyle that feels good, and lasts.
The Short
Two decades ago, I took myself from a size 14 to a size 4 (I’m still a size 4). I changed my eating habits, for good. I fell in love with movement, for good. I learned how to prioritize my daily well-being, for good.
The Long
In my early 20’s, I was in my party girl era. Living on the edge, and feeling completely out of alignment. Because deep down, I knew I was meant for so much more.
I was bursting with potential, but I didn’t know how to tap into it.
I felt lost in my body and disconnected from who I really was.
And then one day my mom asked if I wanted to go to the gym with her. Simple, uncomplicated, a small moment.
But that moment changed the entire trajectory of my life.
That seemingly small “yes” led me to blaze my own trail into the world of health, fitness, and lifestyle. And not just for myself, but for the women I would go on to coach.
Because I saw what was possible, when a woman feels alive in her body.
Mission
To help women live with more freedom. My life revolves around freedom, and the clients I work with want more freedom too.
Values
Relationships. The connections I have with family, friends, and clients is everything to me. Quality time enjoying light or deep conversations is incredibly important to me.
viewpoint
All the rules are made up.
My Philosophy
Movement is medicine. Your energy is everything, and physical movement is a powerful elixir.
things i love
Morning coffee! And it tastes even better when I’m at my fave cafe with a friend. Walking outside with trees and nature is also a fave.
Struggles I’ve Had
I’ve faced many challenges on my own life path. Chronic pain for years from a car accident, adrenal fatigue, body image issues, extreme diet and exercise patterns, just to name a few. We all have stories.
Goals I’ve Achieved
I’m a visionary and creator at my core. Which led to some trailblazing ideas over the years, including leading retreats to Costa Rica starting in 2009, definitely a career highlight!
