~ I Specialize in Science-Based Resilience Strategies  ~

Resilience is our ability to handle adversity, stress, and change. It is how well we navigate challenges and bounce back. Having effective & science-based resilience strategies reduces stress, improves mental health, and leads to a more fulfilling life or cohesive workplace.

I help organizations & individuals achieve wellness through education, resilience tools & coaching.

About sonya

I have spent my life learning about resilience & how our minds & bodies work

As a small child, I was interested in what made humans tick. I started journaling at 6, read my first self-help book at 9, and took college-level psychology courses in high school. I also experienced personal loss, instability, and a lack of safety for most of my developing life. 

My life & work have been consumed with understanding how to be resilient in the midst of stress & adversity. I started my consulting & coaching business in 1999 and have spent the last 24 years helping individuals & organizations build a toolbox of resilience-based strategies. My expertise spans from psychology & neuroscience to leadership & business growth.

I am passionate about founder mental health, and wellness & stress management for teams. I have seen firsthand the impact prioritizing wellness has on success, business & lives.

~ My Mission  ~

To help the world achieve wellness by expanding its capacity for handling adversity, stress & change. To help individuals & organizations build resilience. To offer accessible tools for improving mental health, reducing stress & living more fully.
