It's so nice to meet you -- Let me introduce myself

Hello, I'm Sonja (pronounced SOnya). I'm a board certified health and wellness coach (NBC-HWC), a financial social work coach, a learning and development professional, and a behavior change expert with 14 years of experience helping people change their lives through the power of coaching.

I’m really into helping people figure out their values so they can  live intentional and unapologetic lives that they don’t need to escape from.

I've got a thing for simplifying the complex, helping clients find clarity in the chaos and purpose in the process, and turning overwhelm into clear, manageable action steps.

When I'm not working, you can find me hiking in the mountains, snapping photos of everyday moments, reading next to an open window with a mug of tea, listening to a podcast while walking my dog, advocating for environmental policy changes that protect people and the planet, experiencing gratitude for the simple things in life, or searching for the best pastries (If you have bakery/pastry recommendations for anywhere in the world, I want to hear them)!

About my coaching career

I started growing my coaching business in 2011 and ran it part time on the side of my corporate coaching and training career until I took it full-time in 2024. In the meantime, I earned over 5,000 hours of coaching experience, developed the NBHWC-approved training program at a leading corporate health and wellness company, was the lead faculty member for a coach training program for 3 years, trained over 200 new health coaches, helped over 100 students pass the NBHWC Board Exam, and managed continuing education for a team of 300 coaching professionals.

I'm a behavior change nerd who's passionate about leveling up the professional credibility of the coaching industry, providing high quality coaching to my clients, and helping out coaching professionals along the way.

Ready to build an intentional and unapologetic life that you don't need to escape from?

Think of me as your super organized BFF who can help you find clarity in the chaos and turn overwhelm into action through the power of coaching. I'll pop into your inbox every few weeks as your penpal with the inside scoop on behavior change, tools to help you align your life with your values, and powerful coaching questions to reflect on!

PS - There's a real human on the other end of this business. I will never share or sell your personal information. I fully respect the space in your inbox and I love a digital boundary - If you don't want to be on my list, feel free to unsubscribe.

Let's Work Together

Hello, friend, I'm so glad you're here! Here's how I can support you

Coaching

I help people build authentic, intentional, and unapologetic lives that they don't need to escape from through the power of coaching.

My life's work is helping you untangle life’s chaos with clarity and purpose, so you don’t have to navigate the messy, overwhelming, and complicated parts of life alone. I want to show you that navigating life with the right support can help you grow into the most vibrant, peaceful, content, and aligned version of yourself (even if your life feels totally overwhelming, chaotic, and disorganized right now).

Consulting

I offer project-based training consulting for solopreneurs, small businesses, start ups, and corporate wellness teams so you can get your project done without hiring a full-time learning and development professional.

I'm really into making high quality consulting available without the big price tag or the long timelines. I know how hard it is to find a professional you actually want to work with, can trust with the details of your project, AND will teach you how to DIY it moving forward. If you're looking for all 3 of those things, I'm your girl!

Education

I'm a behavior change nerd who's passionate about leveling up the professional credibility of the coaching industry, providing high quality coaching to my clients, and helping out coaching professionals along the way.

I offer 3 education opportunities for coaches: A self-guided NBHWC-Board Exam Prep Course for future NBC-HWCs studying for their board exam, coaching skill-development and mentorship sessions for new coaches, and high-quality continuing education courses for NBC-HWCs who are looking to deepen and enhance their coaching skills.
