Monthly support with Sonya Stattmann
I support women to uncover what is true, navigate what that truth changes, and rebuild their life and work to live from it.
Knowing is not always the hard part. Living from what you know is.
There is often a moment before real change when you are sitting just above the truth. Deep down, you know the business no longer fits. You know the way you are working is costing you too much. You know a relationship, role, or version of yourself has run its course.
But fully owning it creates a problem. Because once you admit what is true, the life built around who you had to become to survive starts to get messy.
There are people the truth will impact. Responsibilities to handle. Money and commitments to consider. A business you have spent years building still has to run.
Rarely are any of us in a position to abandon our lives while we figure out what comes next.
This is where I work with women.
I help women unbury what is true and separate it from fear, conditioning, and survival patterns that helped them get where they are, but no longer serve where they are going.
Then, together, we navigate what the truth disrupts and the practical changes required to live from that truth.
Sometimes this means dismantling identities, relationships, or roles you have spent a lifetime inhabiting. Sometimes it means re-negotiating with the people around you. And it always means rebuilding a life and work that is in alignment with your truth.
The path through can be scary, and it helps to have someone beside you who can see clearly when everything feels messy.
But when you come through the other side, there is often a moment of wondering how you lived so far away from what was true for so long. And then there is freedom.
When truth lands
This work supports you in Real Life.
You are not stepping away from your life while we do this work. You are living through it. Decisions are being made, relationships are changing, work is still happening, and what feels clear one week can bring up fear or resistance the next.
My work is not about bringing the truth to the surface and then leaving you to pick up the pieces. I stay with you through the disruption and the rebuilding, helping you create enough stability to keep moving while your nervous system adjusts to the changes you are making.
That is why we begin with weekly private sessions. The consistency gives us enough support to work with what is unfolding in real time, regulate what gets activated, and make changes at a pace your system can actually sustain.
The structure is simple, so the work can stay focused on what is actually changing.
the work
This is where we work with what is actually happening in your life. We look at the decisions you are facing, the patterns keeping you stuck, the truths you are trying to make sense of, and the practical changes that need to happen so you can stop adapting and live more truthfully.
We might unpack something one week and focus on restructuring your life or work the next. Together, we prepare for difficult conversations, plan for change, and determine your next right step.
What is included:
Weekly 60-minute private sessions via Zoom
Private, focused support for the decisions, changes, and circumstances you are navigating.
Your own private podcast feed
Your session recordings in one place, with short practices added when useful to support you between sessions.
Investment
$2,000 AUD per month for four weekly sessions. Two-month minimum.
After the initial two months, we can move to fortnightly support if that better fits where you are in the work. Fortnightly support is $1,000 AUD per month for two sessions.
“To say that Sonya has had a transformational effect on my life would not be an overstatement. Her guidance is always spot on, but more than that, she makes me think really deeply and consider what I truly feel about not just my work, but also myself.”
~ M. Hudson
HOW I WORK
Support designed for the complexity of real change.
Regulation First
We work with your nervous system so you can stay present, think clearly, and move through change without tipping into survival.
WHAT’S READY
We follow what is actually emerging, at a pace your system can handle, rather than forcing a predetermined process.
REAL LIFE
We move between inner work and practical change, from patterns and regulation to relationships, business, and difficult decisions.
HOLDING COMPLEXITY
I can hold the emotional, practical, relational, and business realities together without rushing you toward a simple answer.
Hello! I am Sonya
I have ten thousand hours of coaching under my belt and more than two decades of building the retreats, containers, and facilitated spaces that hold this work. I have been honoured to work with thousands of women across many different seasons of life, business, identity, relationships, and change.
What I know has been shaped by two decades of sitting beside women in real difficulty, seeing what helps, what doesn’t, and refining a way of working that can hold both the inner work and the realities of everyday life.
I know this terrain from the inside too. The adapting. The overgiving. The experience of admitting what is true and having to dismantle the way I have been living. I have rebuilt my life and business more than once, and I know what it feels like to move through the complexity of real change.
I am not here to be your guru or your cheerleader. I am here because I have done this long enough, and lived enough of it myself, to hold the complexity of what you are carrying.
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about working with me
(Click the + symbol to read more)
Is this coaching, therapy, or something else?
—> It shares qualities with both, but it is neither conventional coaching nor therapy. I do not diagnose, treat trauma, or provide therapeutic intervention. If deeper therapeutic support is needed, I will say so and refer you appropriately.
This work is focused on helping you understand what is true, work with the patterns and nervous system responses that make change difficult, and navigate the practical decisions and changes that follow. It can sit alongside therapy or other forms of support.
What actually happens from session to session?
—> We work with whatever is most alive and relevant in your life that week. Sometimes that means regulation and understanding what is being activated. Sometimes we are untangling a pattern, making sense of what is true, preparing for a difficult conversation, making a decision, or working through a practical change in your life or business.
The broader work follows the arc of regulate, reconnect, reclaim, redesign, and rise, but not as a rigid curriculum. We move between those stages as your life unfolds and your capacity grows.
Do I need to be ready or know what I want to work on before I apply?
—> No. You may already know exactly what is true and be afraid of what admitting it will change. Or you may only know that something no longer fits.
You do not need a clear plan before we begin. Part of the work is separating what is true from fear, conditioning, and old patterns so the direction becomes clear.
How long do women usually work with you?
—> The minimum commitment is two months, beginning with weekly sessions. That gives us enough consistency for the work to take hold and for meaningful change to begin.
After the first two months, we can continue weekly or move to fortnightly support depending on what is happening in your life and how much support you need. Some women work with me for a concentrated period, while others continue or return as new seasons of change emerge.
Why is there an application?
—> Because fit matters. This is intimate, sustained work, and I work with a small number of women at any one time.
The application helps me understand where you are and what you are carrying before we speak. It is not a test. It is simply the beginning of the conversation.
What is the private podcast?
—> Your private podcast is where your session recordings live, along with short practices or resources I may add when they are useful to what we are working through.
It is not homework or a separate programme. It simply gives you an easy way to revisit our work and access support between sessions.
What if making these changes affects my relationship, business, or family?
—> That is often part of the work. Truth does not exist in isolation, and meaningful change can affect the people, structures, and responsibilities around you.
We work through those realities carefully and practically, including difficult conversations, boundaries, decisions, and the pace of change.
What if I am already in therapy?
—> That is completely fine. This work can sit alongside therapy, and many women benefit from having different kinds of support for different parts of what they are navigating.
If something comes up that belongs more appropriately in a therapeutic setting, I will be clear about that.
Are payment options available?
—> Yes. Weekly support is $2,000 AUD per month for four sessions, with a two-month minimum. After the initial two months, fortnightly support is $1,000 AUD per month for two sessions.
If you need a different payment schedule, mention it in your application, and we can discuss what is workable. All payments are processed in advance.
“I came into this work feeling like I was hiding a huge part of myself and my past. Through the facilitation, I felt ready to accept my story, the unedited version, and use it to build a path forward that actually feels like me.”
~ S. Cannata
Ready to begin?
You have read this far because something here resonated.
That is worth paying attention to.
The application is short. It asks where you are, what you have been carrying, and what you are hoping might shift. There is nothing to prepare and no right or wrong way to answer. After your application is approved, we have a brief conversation to make sure the fit is genuine on both sides. If it is, we begin.
Not ready to apply yet? There are other ways to be in this work.
