The Sonas Mission
At Sonas we facilitate your health journey by combining many different modalities of wellness. We have suggestions for a healthy lifestyle that can help you live above the wellness line, but ultimately the choices are yours. We believe you have what you need to achieve your health goals within you already. As your coach I will support you in accessing the answers you need and invite you to participate in community circles if you feel led to. As a certified integrative health coach (from the Institute of Integrative Nutrition), as well as a certified aromatherapist (from the School of Aromatic studies) I have access to the science from both institutions that will help guide the course of your wellness journey and my role in facilitating your path to your health goals.
One of the primary tenants of Sonas is to listen to your own intuition. At Sonas we recognize and respect every person’s bio-individuality. I have guidelines and suggestions for you to help facilitate your wellness journey, but ultimately you need to listen to what is right for you, your body and your family. We will collaborate and create a menu of wellness options for you to choose from to determine what works best for your life. We will take into consideration the season of life you are in and the season Mother Earth is currently in; knowing that we can change and adjust as needed.
Some of the suggestions and modalities include: prioritizing sleep for all; drinking enough water; eating whole, fresh foods; spending time in nature; engaging in creative pursuits that nurture your soul; moving your body in a way that makes you happy and gets your heart going a little bit!; caring (self-care) for yourself first so that you are able to care for others and do all the things; removing toxins from your life and introducing healthier aroma and personal care items; gathering in community; participating in calm, quiet, restful spiritual endeavors; engaging all of your senses to be present and filled with gratitude for all that is.
As you can see the reason I chose to study holistic health coaching at The Institute of Integrative Nutrition is because their mantra for living a healthy and fulfilling life mirrors the Sonas philosophy: What you do off of your plate is just as important as what is on your plate. The IIN lens includes looking at spiritual, mental, emotional and spiritual wellness…just like Sonas. With this new certificate I plan to help clients create their unique wellness journey to allow them to grow, bloom, thrive and find or rekindle their purpose, by creating realistic goals that can be reached and maintained consistently for a Sonas life.
Achieving balance in life is a daily practice.
