Meet Sonya
Certified Health Coach, Registered Nurse & Professional Supervisor
I strongly believe that supporting others to take action in working towards their health & life aspirations is key to the future of medicine. My 30 + year long career as a nurse in acute medicine has given me a birds eye view of the rising chronicity of non-communicable disease including poor physical and mental health, loss of social connection and the tragedy it ensues.
I want to make a difference where it really counts, in peoples confidence and knowledge to act. Movement, nutrition, connection, the love of the sea, the outdoors and finding joy are my ‘whys’ in my current health career and journey. I consider myself a lifelong learner who is passionate about people & real health outcomes.

I work alongside clients to explore what is most important to them and uncover their long term health vision. I support the client by sharing current life style medicine and transformational behaviour change tools and techniques.
