You didn't ask to be here.
Everything hurts–physically and emotionally.
​
Friends and family don't understand why you're still struggling and want you to get over it already.
​
You don't want to feel like this anymore, but the guilt of moving forward makes it feel impossible.
​
You're going to absolutely lose it on the next person to offer you a useless platitude (or maybe you already did.)
​
​
It is possible to crawl out from under your grief and be happy again–
but you don't have to do it alone.

Transitions Coach & Grief Transformation Guide
Hi. I'm Sonja.
​
When my husband died suddenly, I thought the rest of my life would be nothing more than going through the motions.
​
I was so, so wrong.
​
Now I have a new life that I love every bit as much as the old one, and I find great purpose in helping others find joy again in the wake of their grief.
"As a coach, you have opened and held sacred space for me. I feel listened, heard, and seen. You have given encouragement and made me see another perspective which has opened opportunities. This is key for me because when we are in the thick of it, we do not always see everything we need to see. Through our work together, you have given me the chance to step back and reflect on what is important to me. Thank you!"

"My life has improved greatly since I started coaching with Sonja. Since I first started coaching, I've found better ways to respond to relationship problems, I've bettered my career, and I've gotten much better at time management. Most importantly, I've gotten a lot better at setting boundaries with others. What I find most valuable about Sonja's coaching technique is that she doesn't expect you to just change who you are, and she doesn't suggest that you just stop seeing things a certain way. Instead, she shows you alternate routes you never would have considered before. You'd be surprised at how many gray areas we overlook when we are making decisions or when we find ourselves at crossroads. Sonja's coaching style makes it much easier to see those gray areas."

"Sonja is an extraordinary coach! The real magic in Sonja's practice is in how she can pull deeper meaning from her clients. By that I mean that Sonja always makes me think. I've used her services through 2-3 rather substantial transition periods in my life. She'll ask me questions and as I answer I'll hear myself say things and mention topics that I was entirely unaware were a part of my problems. It's not contrite or forced. Sessions feel like just a conversation trying to come up with problem solving and suddenly she'll pose a question or offer conjecture that flips my perspective and opens my eyes to what might be happening on a deeper level. These revelations allow me to explore new avenues as to how I can create long term problem solving habits and understand myself better. I recommend her services so highly."
