    Hello, I'm Sonja!

    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.

    Iโ€™m really into helping people figure out their values so they can  live intentional and unapologetic lives that they donโ€™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)!
