“Sonya’s approach was perfect - supportive, enthusiastic, sincere, and confident.”
My approach
I’m keen on helping people get to know themselves better, change their narratives, and navigate what comes next with confidence. As an advocate for empowerment and self-discovery, I’m known for creating spaces for deep reflection that inspire people to take action.
By tucking in personal stories, compelling studies, and interactive exercises, I create environments that leave attendees feeling seen—and I’ve been doing so since 2019. From in-person sessions with six team members to virtual workshops with over 600 strangers, I ensure all feel heard.
Book me for your next event, podcast episode, or consider one of my tentpole writing workshops.
Workshops
My tentpole workshops offer a supportive space to reflect, find clarity, and feel more in tune with yourself and each other—through writing. Workshops can be customized to varying themes, such as:
Stress relief and mindfulness
Creativity and self-expression
Navigating uncertainty and transitions
Improving communication and connection
Boosting confidence and self-assurance
These workshops can also include journaling techniques and tips on turning journaling into a meaningful routine.
Whether you're an organization seeking to improve team communication, a community wanting to foster deeper connections, or a group of friends looking for a fun way to bond, a memorable journaling experience awaits you.
