Sonia offers a treatment that is a combination of Craniosacral Therapy and Reiki, and brings with it a lifetime of both professional and personal studies and research in meditation, yoga, Feldenkrais, psychotherapy, hypnotherapy, focusing, dreamwork, creative visualization, quantum medicine, energy healing and Shamanic healing.

The client leads the treatment by choosing what type of interaction they are comfortable with, usually there is some talking before and after a treatment, while during the treatment there may be all or mostly silence. Some clients want a more active involvement and in these cases some verbal guidance can be offered to help the client find their own path toward healing.

The type of treatment that Sonia offers has evolved from the many puzzle pieces of techniques learned, programs attended and life lessons experienced, and is perhaps most easily understood using the language of the nervous system: Most clients describe a profound sense of inner peace after a treatment that in many cases is directly connected to the release of tension or illness in the body/mind. The client’s nervous system is encouraged and supported to relax and switch into healing mode (switching from a sympathetic to a parasympathetic response).

One of the more inexplicable aspects of a treatment is Sonia’s ability to listen to the brain’s waves and to support the release of disharmonies and balancing of the hemispheres. Clients in recovery from concussions or brain injuries often share profound healing experiences after treatments.

Sonia encourages her clients to take an active role in their own healing journey, and to come to a treatment with the knowledge that they are in charge and are not the passive recipient of learned skills and techniques. In Sonia’s own words a treatment is a profoundly empowering energetic interaction and exchange on a soul level. Both client and practitioner benefit and participate in the healing state that is created.

When Sonia is not working she seeks out natural environments for grounding and healing for herself and her family, whether it is camping, hiking or meditating. She also enjoys creative work, including beading, sewing, painting and wood carving. Her four children are her most favourite challenge for healing, growing and fostering an environment of unconditional acceptance and love.
