It is my greatest honor to support the beautiful souls who feel drawn to this work—here are heartfelt testimonials from those I’ve had the privilege to guide.

When I met Sonja my life was wrought with confusion and sadness. I had lost so much and had hurt for so long I didn't know how, or when I would recover.
Today, the visual I have of myself is that of a queen. A beautiful, powerful woman who knows exactly what she deserves and exactly how she will fulfill her life's purpose.
Years ago, I felt this same fire in my soul, and knew that self-actualization was my destiny. Sadly, after being knocked down so many times and told "you can't" I had forgotten who I am.
Sonja's education/training and gifts guide people to remember and reclaim who they are. Thank-you Sonja!! You truly amaze me.
Now, as I create my unique career path, writing and planning it all, I do so with a smile and deep remembrance of who I am.

I first noticed Sonja’s magnetic energy, this really drew me to her. I thought, “Mm this woman has something so magical, beautiful, and intoxicating! I want to be around her energy.” I think I felt this way because I first met her at her Feminine Movement session in the woods of Kenosee, she helped us move and feel in a way that was so healing. I’d recently lost my father, my male figure, and was navigating loss, my maternal relationship, and my disappointment of a lack of romantic love in my life. I’d finished traditional therapy, and felt I needed something deeper, more holistic and raw. I greedily hoped that by doing Rose Tantra I’d cure my bodily pain, manifest a partner, and feel more healed from grief… and perhaps I achieved these and even better things.
I’ve definitely noticed my relationship with my mother has improved since working with Sonja. And even though my Dad is crossed over I feel our relationship is better too. I addressed some childhood beliefs and feelings that I learnt at a young age from my Dad, which can be complicated when that person has passed. I haven’t found outer romantic love like I secretly wished for , but our last two sessions diving deep into the feminine masculine relationship was monumental! It’s a powerful feeling of love and inner union, and a deep self love. Which I know is what I need before I can bring in the partner of my dreams.
I’d say the key changes for me are realizing my power, and new ways to move energy within me. I do think it’s helped me heal shadows around my masculine beliefs and bring them to the light. “Feeling” therapy was something out of my comfort zone, but now after experiencing its power I’d recommend it above all else. In my outer world, I feel more equipped to manage my emotions and recognize and help others in theirs.
This journey is so important to me because I truly want to be a healed and happy person, and to attract the love I deserve. I was so sick of repeating old patterns and needed to try something new…I’m so grateful I did.
I am already noticing so many people in my life that I believe would benefit greatly from Sonja’s medicine, and specifically Rose Tantra. If you are a person who’s repeating old patterns, attracting toxicity, feeling frustrated by your feelings, confused on your life path, or have deep desires but don’t know how to attract them, I would recommend Sonja.
Sonja is a devoted mentor and healer. She goes above and beyond to make sure you are supported, and in an intuitive way. She would notice my needs and address them straight away, and she always gave extra value where she could.
If anyone feels called to work with Sonja I would say that desire is there for a reason, SO DO IT! The investment is great, but the value is greater. My life is better because of Rose Tantra.

Sonja has this incredible ability and deep embodied wisdom to see the potential gifts within you that you have yet to unlock.
Before working with Sonja 1:1 through the Rose Tantra Program I was feeling so numb, powerless, voiceless and very low energy. Through body work, journey work and ritual just to name a few things, Sonja helped me rewire my nervous system to feel safe in my body.
Finding that safety inside my body was the foundation to unlocking my voice, stepping into my power and following my own body's wisdom and whispers to help me make decisions, find my truest hearts desires and navigate through challenging situations which once would made me run for the hills or freeze up (go numb).
If you've been feeling stuck, numb, powerless, voiceless etc. I highly recommend Rose Tantra. Absolutely worth the investment and more!
Looking back, I can't believe how much I've grown. I will forever be grateful to Sonja and the journey we've been on together.
Eternally grateful for you love, You've changed my life ”

Sonja is a wonderful person who was sent to help facilitate the awakening of humanity.
I used to feel like I had no control, like my life was happening TO me, and not FOR me. I didn’t know how to connect with nature in a meaningful way, and I wasn’t nearly as grounded.
Working with her has taught me so many valuable lessons, many of which I practice on a daily basis.
I now have a much higher view of myself and a much greater understanding of my self-worth.
I have come alive, I have woken up, I have done so much healing because of Sonja.
I feel my grounded connection to our beautiful Mother Earth, and unleashed a power that was always within me.
Sonja has helped me do all of this, she is nothing short of magical.

This past spring I embarked on a journey of discovery with a beautiful priestess who led me through a process of awakening my ‘writer within.’ I came to the Primal Priestess Program with the intent of renewing my commitment to my writing projects. My sense was I needed to re-connect with my spirit on a level deeper than I would normally do on my own. What I loved most about my sessions with Sonja was being able to integrate the shadow parts blocking my progress. Also, my body integrated the work beautifully. Sonja’s warmth and loving presence held the space necessary for me to do this powerful work. Sonja intuitively knew when to lead and when to allow my spirit to facilitate the healing for my mind and body. This loving priestess was like a conduit for love radiating warmth and safety. I was able to easily clear old traumas and forgotten memories. Sonja’s mat became my temple where I embraced my past, present and future — bringing forth a renewed sense of purpose and direction for my writing projects. Rather than feel I was forcing myself to find answers, I surrendered to my inner knowing. It was a magical process for me, embarking on a journey of discovery where I dropped all hesitation and fears of getting it right. Instead, I was held, acknowledged and witnessed in a space that respected my ancestors and made it safe for my prayers and beliefs to be at-one with her. I am grateful to have found a soul sister who not only shares her gifts so freely but also stands firmly rooted in her power. I highly recommend the Primal Priestess Program for all seekers willing to dive deeply into the sacred. For some this may be to recover and awaken forgotten knowledge and for others this may the call for what is next on their life journey. For me, this has been a transformative awakening of the tangible and the real. Bridging the spirit realm with my earth walk has made all the difference and for that I am deeply grateful.
All my relations,

Working with Sonja will change your life. Period. If you are willing to dive into the wild depths of your soul she will take you there.
Sonja played a huge role in helping me step into my power and launch my business. She was able to see gifts in me that I couldn’t see for myself, reflect them back to me and nurture them until I was ready to release them into the world.
I wouldn’t be this far into my healing journey or living the life I truly desire without Sonja. If you feel called to work with Sonja listen to that calling. That is your wild feminine speaking to you, asking you to unleash her.

As I entered my Rose Tantra journey and experienced each session, I began to feel lighter, physically and emotionally because I was able to release old stories and old trauma that I had been carrying with me for 10+ years. This was huge for me, as my mother died when I was 18 and I had prevented myself from healing for all these years. I forgave myself for doing the best I could at the time with the tools I had. I also was able to build a better relationship with other family members using the tools I learned and my new found perspective on things. I started to feel more confident in myself and in my choices. This was also a huge deal for me, as for years, I was a people pleaser and unable to create healthy boundaries. This was something we really worked on. I now respect my gut and set healthy boundaries for myself and others in my life.
I finally, for the first time in my life, value myself and what I bring to the table. I stopped believing the old story that the only good I brought to my relationships was my ability to take care of people. I was stuck in a cycle of unhealthy relationships. Throughout our journey together, I broke this cycle. Healed my inner child. In the process, I entered into my first ever healthy relationship. I no longer blame myself for my mothers death, as I know there was nothing I could have done. I am able to self-soothe, which is a skill I did not possess. I have started saying yes to the things that scare me, whereas before I allowed anxiety to rule my life.
I think anyone could benefit from this work. I shared my experiences with friends and I know they would partake if they could, just based on my experience. Sonja was so supportive, welcoming and lovely. Her approach is personalized, not clinical, which is something I appreciated. Rather than sitting in an office and talking to a therapist, this work really forces you to look inward, learn from your body, and realize your power.
If you feel called to work with Sonja, I would say: just do it and stick to it.
Thank you again for all you do. Loved all of it!

I came to work with Sonja in a season of my life that involved a lot of change and a need to dig deep into myself and rediscover parts of me that I had buried or forgotten.
Sonja supported me in working through my shadows, in navigating the changes that I was undergoing, and manifesting the things that I wanted and needed to honour myself. She not only guided me in practice but also gave me the tools, confidence, and intuitive knowledge to allow me to continue my journey on my own. Working with her has helped me reconnect with and feel more "myself" than I have in a long time.
Working with Sonja has been a critical turning point in my life and I cannot thank her enough for her warmth, support, and safety as I explored both shadows and joys within my life. I look forward to continuing to connect and work with her in various ways!!

Before I started working with Sonja I was on the fence about trying a new form of healing therapy after going through several others and experiencing the most intense dark period of my life.
After the first session, I knew working with Sonja was going to change my life.
For the first time, I felt emotional releases of unprocessed trauma from years and years back, and started taking responsibility for the situations I was placing myself in, that caused pain and low self worth.
My entire world started to change and shift as I began to set healthy boundaries and speak my truth. I was able to cut off toxic ties in all aspects of life and start living for me with a new mind set. Showing up with addictions, abusive relationships, childhood trauma, and depression- Sonja helped me find my light, passions, desires, strong sense of worth and the warrior within me that creates the life she wants and knows how to set boundaries.
This was the best decision I made for myself yet, and I'm excited to keep going inward and continue this path of healing.

Before starting to work with Sonja I was making a huge life transition from a full time director largely confined to a desk to running my own fitness and travel fitness company. I felt like I needed to find my most ethnic self. Find who I truly am to love myself more fully.
I have always been drawn to my masculine self, feeling it to be the most powerful part of who I am and what I used to drive me to success. In working with Sonja I realize that my femininity has more power and brings more joy to me. I just have to learn how to utilize it properly. Through our work together I have been able to feel more confident in my body how I address people in my work and my family. I feel more confident in being emotional, I allow myself to feel instead of pushing my emotions away uncomfortable by them.
Sonja hold’s you in a space that is completely non-judgemental that is warm and comforting. She was able to take me deep into some of the trauma that I have been through in my life and release my negative connections to let that trauma making me feel like I was off to a fresh start.
Sonia is amazing to work with and I would highly recommend her to anyone that needs to find connection with themselves.

I came to Sonja at a very difficult transitional period in my life. I was not sure what I needed or wanted from her, but I knew I needed help and support. Instinctually it felt like a yes to work
with Sonja. People come into your path at the right time, and I am so very grateful that I did not stifle that “gut yes” I initially had.
Previously, I could be described as “high strung” filled with anxiety and worry, often about things I had no control over. Yet, even if, could logically and rationally explain why I should not be bothered, I could never remove the worry. I was not even fully able to recognize how my nervous system was always in massive overdrive because I had no neutral state to compare it
to.
Currently, I maintain a level of inner calm and peace that feels amazing to me in comparison to my previous way of being. Somatic exercises and daily rituals have been a gift given to me
through Sonja.
Sonja has a way that allows me to trust her completely. I felt safe and supported during very vulnerable sessions. She allowed me control, and with that, I then had the desire to push past where I thought I could go, or rather, had ever allowed myself to go.
Shadow work and inner child work was very intimidating initially and yet they have a markable effect on me daily. I now have an awareness of how my behaviours, thoughts, and feelings are being driven on a very deep level. Therefore, this then allows me different choices in response.
I started with a few Thai massages, which led me to a wonderful journey with Sonja. If you are considering working with Sonja, do it. You deserve to give yourself this gift.

“Before working with Sonja, I was exhausted and had lost my thirst for life. I was mourning the end of a relationship, one that I had completely lost myself in. I had built a shield around myself and did not allow others in. When I met Sonja, I had felt a calling to work through my father wound, my capacity to receive, and living more in my feminine.Since working with Sonja, the outcomes of our work together have been immediate. The way in which I walk through the world is different and I think others can see that. For the first time in my life, I have been able to forgive and receive. I feel like I can breathe again. Sonja held space for me to finally see myself for the woman that I am.I have always been drawn to wild woman. I felt the call to work with Sonja on a very deep level. The moment I stepped into her magical space I knew. She held the most sacred container for me to feel safe to cry, dance, moan, scream, and grow.Simply put, she changed my life. I will carry the teachings and wisdom she shared with me through life. I would recommend Sonja to any woman who feels the call from within. It is an investment into the self. I envision Sonja being a part of my journey for years to come. I am forever grateful to the healing that has occurred during our time together.”

Working with Sonja changed my life. Six months ago, I would have laughed in your face if you were to tell me that I would no longer be taking anti-anxiety medication. Throughout my life, I’ve worked with many different therapists and tried different strategies for managing anxiety, but no one has come close to the amount of healing Sonja has helped me achieve.
At the beginning of our work together, I felt numb. Slowly, in the deep safety that Sonja created, I was able to peel back the layers and feel each and every one along the way. What Sonja and I accomplished together feels like more of an undertaking than putting man on the moon. I am eternally grateful!
Through daily practice, Tantra, cord cutting, Thai massage, soul-seeking, sacred tree healing, womb clearing, and many other offerings, Sonja designed a program specifically to provide the most benefit to my being. Being able to access Sonja when I needed her most made working with her added that extra layer of safety and helped me accomplish my goal – to lose the anxiety and feel more connected to my mind and body.
The lessons I’ve learned and time spent with Sonja have been worth every penny. A sound soul is priceless! I have the deepest love for Sonja for gifting me with this beautiful new start, and would encourage anyone desiring the same life altering transformations to work with her as soon as they could. As our journey comes to a close – I know I will be joining Sonja’s offerings for many years to come!
All my love,
Mason
