TESTIMONIALS

Thank you for holding space for us in a trauma-informed way, and of balancing craft points with sensitivity! The class was truly a unique, and healing experience. The way you delivered feedback opened a door for me because it was strengths-based.

Thank you so much for such a beautiful workshop. I've never known anyone to create an environment like this.

Thanks for helping me kick open a giant blocked cave entrance that has been tightly shut since I was 18. I can go on and on about why this class was amazing, but your brilliance is your way of discerning what’s needed now and all the elements that held it. You created safe, resourced environment that supported me to share my story without expectations except as a process/experiment.

I have worked with Sonya in a group workshop setting, face to face and have participated in one of her online programs. These opportunities were enlightening and inspirational for me. Her considerate feedback, delivered in her soft spoken and confident way, assures her participants are learning, growing, and improving in their writing abilities.

The work you guided us through over the four days felt (dare I say it) transformational. Your holistic approach helped me to access the knowing and vulnerability that is not only improving my writing but also improving my life. This sense of awareness is affecting how I interact with people, lead at work, and approach challenges I encounter -- on the page and off.

In some magical, nearly unbelievable way, Sonya creates an atmosphere in her retreats that is both peaceful and disruptive. She provides us the room to meander - in our writing and our hearts and minds - to search out the truth. At the same time, she nudges people in the direction we need to go. I've left every retreat I've participated in invigorated - with more clarity about my writing and myself.
