Coaching for women in business & leadership
Design work that fits your energy, your nervous system, and
your season of life. A regulation-first approach to clarity,
capacity, and sustainable success.
Is my coaching for you?
Who this work is designed for
This work is for women who are capable, responsible, and accomplished, but whose nervous systems are carrying more than is sustainable. If you’ve been holding everything together on the outside while feeling stretched, flat, or braced on the inside, you’re not imagining it.
My coaching is designed for women who:
Carry a high level of responsibility at work and in life, often without much support
Feel mentally busy, emotionally braced, or tired in a way rest doesn’t seem to fix
Are successful on paper, but sense that their current pace or structure isn’t sustainable
Are navigating a capacity shift (burnout recovery, midlife changes, chronic stress, or transition)
Want clarity and grounded decision-making without pushing, hustling, or self-betrayal
Value personalised, private support that honours their nervous system, emotions, and real life
This work is not about fixing yourself, maximising output, or pushing through exhaustion to “get more done.”

6-Week Coaching Containers
Three ways women begin coaching with me, depending on where they are right now.
You don’t need to decide everything. Just where to begin.
Grounded Start
When everything feels like too much.
For women who feel stretched, overwhelmed, or close to burnout, and need to steady themselves before moving forward.
Outcome:
You feel calmer, clearer, and able to sense what you need next.
Focus + Direction
When you’re carrying too much.
For women who are capable and functioning, but mentally overloaded and unsure what truly deserves their energy right now.
Outcome:
You feel lighter, clearer, and more confident choosing less.
Business Clarity
When your business no longer feels like you. For women whose work no longer feels aligned, energising, or sustainable, and you’re questioning what needs to change.
Outcome:
Your business feels clearer, more alive, and easier to sustain.
Grounded Start
When everything feels like too much
Grounded Start is a 6-week coaching container for women who feel stretched, overwhelmed, or close to burnout, and need to steady themselves before making decisions. When your system is overloaded, clarity can’t be forced. This work focuses on helping you settle enough to think clearly again and trust what you feel you need next.
This container is for you if:
You feel stuck, frozen, or scattered despite being capable and responsible
You can’t seem to relax, even when you try to
You feel exhausted before the day has really begun, and it’s hard to think clearly
It’s hard to make decisions because everything feels overwhelming

FOCUS + DIRECTION
When you’re carrying too much
Focus + Direction is a 6-week coaching container for women who are functioning and capable, but mentally overloaded and unsure what deserves their energy right now. You’re doing a lot, holding a lot, and thinking constantly — yet nothing feels clear. This work helps you slow the mental noise, reduce the burden you’re carrying, and decide what actually matters next.
This container is for you if:
You’re doing all the things, but still feel overwhelmed
Everything feels important, and you don’t know what to prioritise
Your mind is always “on,” and it’s hard to switch off
You’re responsible for a lot, and it all seems to depend on you
You’re tired of carrying everything and want relief, not more on your to-do list

BUSINESS CLARITY
When your business no longer feels like you
Business Clarity is a 6-week coaching container for women whose work no longer feels aligned, energising, or sustainable. You may be successful on paper, but inside things feel flat, heavy, or misaligned. This work supports you to reconnect with what you actually want now and clarify a simpler, more honest direction forward.
This container is for you if:
Your business feels heavy, draining, or no longer exciting
You’re going through the motions, even though something feels off
Marketing or selling feels difficult because you don’t feel aligned
You’re questioning whether what you’ve built still fits who you are
You want to change direction, but feel unsure or afraid to let go

This is not a long-term commitment
These 6-week containers are designed as focused starting points, not ongoing contracts. You’re not locking yourself into anything or signing up for more than you can hold.
You’re choosing support for this season. Nothing more.
Monthly coaching (by invitation)
Some women choose to continue into monthly coaching after completing a 6-week container, when longer-term support feels aligned. This is a quieter, ongoing way of working together for women who want space to integrate, apply, and deepen the work over time.
This ongoing work often supports women to:
• Integrate changes made during a 6-week container
• Apply insights slowly and sustainably in real life
• Navigate evolving decisions around business, leadership, or capacity
• Have steady, trusted support through longer seasons of change
Monthly coaching is not a starting point. It’s offered by invitation, once we’ve worked together and there’s clarity around what support will be most helpful next.
What makes my coaching different?
Regulation First
We begin by settling your nervous system, so decisions come from clarity and capacity, not pressure or survival.
Real-Life Fit
This work is designed to integrate into your current life, not an idealised version of your capacity.
Ongoing Support
Between sessions, you’re supported through a private podcast with practices that help the work land in real time.
Designed for Women
This work is shaped by decades of supporting women who carry responsibility and invisible labour alongside their work.
Every single day I draw on the things I have learned from our sessions. Those sessions are still paying off. I’ve come so far since our first days of working together! I feel like I have updated to version 2.0. I have my toolbox of Sonya tools – which still serve me years after working with you. It all applies perfectly to what’s happening right now, only I am at a whole new level.
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about coaching with me
(Click the + symbol to read more)
How do I choose the right six-week container?
—> You don’t need to analyse this decision. Each container reflects a different starting point based on how things feel right now. If you’re unsure, we’ll talk it through together and choose a place to begin that feels supportive, not overwhelming.
Do I need to be clear or “ready” before starting?
—> No. Many women begin when things feel foggy, stretched, or heavy. Clarity tends to emerge once your nervous system settles and you’re properly supported. You don’t need to arrive with answers.
What if I’m already exhausted or close to burnout?
—> That’s often the right time to start. The work is paced gently and designed to support your capacity, not demand more of you. We begin with regulation and stabilisation before any deeper change.
Is this coaching or therapy?
—> This is coaching, not therapy. While the work is informed by nervous system awareness and emotional safety, it focuses on supporting you to make clear, aligned decisions in your work and life. If therapeutic support is more appropriate, we’ll name that openly.
What happens after the six weeks?
—> At the end of a container, we’ll reflect together on what feels complete and what support, if any, would be helpful next. Some women integrate on their own, while others are invited into ongoing monthly coaching. There’s no expectation to continue.
You’ll also continue to have access to your private podcast for six months after the container ends, so you’re supported as the work settles and integrates.
What is the private podcast, and how does it support the work?
—> Each container includes your own private podcast, created specifically for you. Between sessions, you’ll receive short audio practices and reflections to support integration and continuity without adding more to your schedule. Many women find this helps the work land more gently in real life.
How does pricing work, and can we talk about payment options?
—> Pricing is shared transparently, and payment options are available. I know that many women who give a lot and carry responsibility can feel uneasy talking about money. That’s okay. We’ll approach this openly and without pressure, and talk through what feels sustainable for you.
Consultations are offered at no cost and are a space to explore whether this support feels like a good fit.
Hello! I am Sonya
With 26 years as a coach, entrepreneur, and speaker, I’ve supported thousands of women, founders, and leaders to create meaningful success without sacrificing their wellbeing.
My work blends science-backed nervous system regulation with business strategy and leadership development. It’s shaped by decades of experience, my own journey from burnout to resilience, and the belief that women shouldn’t have to choose between success and their health.
As a certified trauma-informed coach, I create a safe, honest, and empowering space for deep transformation. I’m passionate about helping women build businesses and careers that truly fit THEM, not the other way around.
Words can’t express my gratitude for Sonya and her work. I have already felt so many shifts – I can see the pathway to my dream life and have given myself permission to start living it. Sonya has this magical way of helping people navigate work, life, and uncertainty. It’s an understatement to say that her work has transformed my life.
Begin where you are
A gentle next step, without pressure
A consultation is a space to pause, talk things through, and explore whether one of the six-week containers feels like a good fit for this season. There’s no obligation and nothing you need to have figured out in advance.
If you’d prefer to begin on your own, you can also start with the Burnout Recovery Roadmap.
