Relearn Deep Feminine Instincts, Heal Your Body and Restore Vital Energy
Hello and welcome to my website! My name is Sonja, and I'm thrilled to have the opportunity to connect with you.
As a holistic practitioner, my purpose is to help women achieve wholeness, cultivate self-love, and come home to themselves in a safe and sacred space.
Through the transformative practices of Thai massage, Tantra and Liberation Through Movement, I offer a unique approach to healing and personal growth that nourishes your body, mind, and spirit. My goal is to empower you and teach you practical skills and tools that you can use to navigate life's challenges with greater ease, confidence, and joy, laying a foundation that will hold you.
I believe that true healing and transformation starts with a deep sense of self-love and acceptance. That's why I'm committed to creating a safe and supportive space where you can explore your inner world, release past traumas, and reconnect with your true essence.
My approach to healing is based on the belief that we are all inherently whole and complete, and that our natural state is one of love and joy. As you journey with me, you'll learn to cultivate a deeper sense of self-awareness, self-love, and self-acceptance, empowering you to live a life that feels authentic and fulfilling.

Loving, supportive, and nurturing are just some of the words I can use to best describe Sonja’s yoga class. Sonja is a naturally gifted teacher, following her authentic path, sharing her wisdom, and passion with her students. The care and attention to detail are easily felt by all of her students — from the comfy, relaxed atmosphere setting in her charming little studio to Sonja’s warm and knowing smile.
Her class spans multiple yoga disciplines, leaving students feeling challenged, recharged, and rejuvenated. I cannot imagine not having Sonja’s yoga class in my life! Her class is often infused with many elements from nature, as well as the natural cycles found therein; add in the perfect touch of spirituality, and there is the quintessential balance we all crave in life. All of these aspects allow her students into a deeper exploration, and connection to their own true selves. Her intuition into her students energy is genuine, as is her love, and passion to create, share, and teach.
Sonja has successfully created a safe and loving studio. I absolutely love and adore the community that Sonja has designed for her students. With small class sizes, the group has more access to Sonja’s natural abilities and light. It is truly an honour to practice and be guided by such a beautiful soul. ❤

Sonja's compassionate nature, vast skill set and true passion for humanity shows through in every fiber of her being. She offers a healing and safe place to take back your divine feminine while she gentle encourages, nurtures and coaches.
She has been monumental in my personal healing both physically and emotionally. Allowing me a place to fully drop into my shadows & joy and encouraging me along the way. With her wisdom and guidance, I was able to look at the roots of where my deep seated pain was buried. I am grateful for the healer that she is because it allotted me deep and meaningful transformation. She uses her wisdom, studies and intuition to formulate and weave together the most unique and personal specific healing plan.
Sonja walks through the world with a quality of grace and a willingness to fully be present, simply being in her presence you know you are safe, believed in and deeply cared for. Her integrity of spirit allows her to see deeply into the best of those she works with, gently nudging, coaxing and supporting the blossoming of every persons soul purpose to be uncovered. Being in her presence, you simply feel blessed.
Thank you Sonja for following your heart's passions.... you are such a precious gem.

I have completed 4 full yoga series with Sonja and each journey spirals me deeper into myself.
She is teaching me how to reclaim the exiled, wounded, and lost parts of myself and how to fully come back home to my body.
These are not just yoga classes -- Sonja creates "experiences" for her students that are profound and healing on so many levels.
She never fails to be attuned to the collective needs of each group she mentors as she allows her teachings to flow with an organic intuitive vibe.
In addition to the group sessions, I recently took in a full day one-on-one Immersion Session with Sonja in July 2020, which included a 2-hour Thai massage (incredible!!), ceremonial Priestess teachings and take-home practices to continue the work.
This was like nothing I have ever experienced!
On arrival, the environment Sonja had created for our session was literally alive with magic and potential, which allowed for a profound healing session!
Through it all, I felt supported, safely held and deeply cared for.
I highly recommend Sonja's work and skillful teachings and will continue to learn from her as I advance on my personal healing journey.

I have been taking classes from Sonja for almost 2 years now. When I first started working with her, I had well over 5 different masks that I would put on to please others.
There is no question that I was a people pleaser, as well as an extremely anxious and insecure person. I had a lot of healing work to be done and I knew it. I somehow knew that my heart and soul needed to be ripped open, as the openness was the only way back home to me.
After completing my very first series with Sonja, I remember feeling so deeply connected to myself. I knew she was someone who I wanted to continue to work with.
As my journey continued with her, I became more open, self-aware and vulnerable. I started to ditch the masks and put that energy into connecting with my soul.
I began learning and unlearning. I started to do things like voice my opinion, set boundaries and openly talk about my sexuality.
I began to get excited to dance with my shadow and fully embrace her presence.
I started to feel my wild, untamed, feminine power and holy shit was she strong. It shocks me to think I didn’t know what this felt like before. For so many years I felt caged, like I was locked up and didn’t know how to get out.
Sonja was the soul that showed me that the key to my locked cage was in my hands the whole time. In my own time, I was able to use that key and break free. I am not the same woman I was 2 years ago. I am not even the same person I was 6 months ago. I know there is much more work to be done and I am excited I have someone like her to guide me down this path of self-love and healing.
If you ever have the chance to meet her, consider yourself lucky. Sonja is someone you will want to hang onto forever.
So much love,
Kaycee Dreher
Each woman has potential access to Rio Abajo Rio, this river beneath the river. She arrives there through deep meditation, dance, writing, painting, prayermaking, singing, drumming, active imagination, or any activity which requires an intense altered consciousness. A woman arrives in this world-between-worlds through yearning and by seeking something she can see just out of the corner of her eye. She arrives there by deeply creative acts, through intentional solitude, and by practice of any of the arts.
