You're in the right place! 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 navigate transitions and change their lives through the power of coaching.
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.
I love creating learning environments that allow coaches to learn about themselves as much as they learn about the subject - If that's you, come learn with me!
If you're anything like me, your palms get a liiittle bit sweaty when you think about taking the NBHWC Board Exam! Let me help you walk into exam day feeling calm, confident, and prepared.
Think of me as your super organized BFF who's here to help you ace your NBHWC Board Exam and get started with building a successful coaching career. Come check out my free and paid exam prep resources!
I made a promise to myself on the day I got laid off from my corporate training job that I would someday build a CEU library of my own! I wanted it to be filled with trainings that help coaches deepen their curiosity, engage with their creativity, and truly experience what they're learning about.
Supporting coaches in their professional development, leveling up the credibility of the coaching industry, and teaching coaches new skills was always more than just a job to me - It's my purpose.
I'm not a coach who coaches coaches on how to run a coaching practice. If your Instagram feed looks anything like mine, it's filled with people claiming they can give you the secret to growing a $100k business or making money while you sleep.
Honestly? I don't believe 99% of the people who claim that they were so successful running their coaching practice that they stopped coaching clients and started coaching coaches... It just doesn't add up.
