When you’re in balance, you feel it — your body moves with ease, your mind is clear and focused, and your emotions flow without overwhelm. You feel healthy, present, and alive.
But balance doesn’t mean staying still. Much like riding a bike, it’s a dynamic process — sometimes we wobble, sometimes we fall, but with awareness and support, we find our centre again. Over time, we learn how to maintain momentum and recover more easily when life shifts us off course.
I’m Sonya, a Registered Massage Therapist since 2012, a Professional Life Coach, and a certified First Aid/CPR Trainer. My work is grounded in the belief that healing and growth happen when we align body, mind, and spirit. Whether through massage therapy, coaching conversations, or teaching essential life-saving skills, my goal is to work in partnership with you — to help you reconnect with your own rhythm, rediscover your balance, and feel empowered to maintain it.
Let’s explore what balance looks and feels...
A nature exploring, world traveling, Ottawa local who has always had an interest for all things metaphysical and perhaps, out of this world. Since childhood, she has always been incredibly connected to universal energy. She was lucky enough to spend 10+ summers as a canoe trip camper and later a long trip guide exploring many parts of Northern Ontario and Quebec – with some of these canoe trips lasting 40+ days in the deep Northern woods and waters. This really allowed for immeasurable, soulful exploration of oneself, energetic connections with others, develop an even stronger connection to Mother Nature, and all things universal energy. You could say Sarah has come to being a natural intuitive healer through a variety of life experiences and personal traumas that allowed for incredible growth, shadow work and authentic healing. With that, she loves to support others through their life changing experiences and help guide them on their healing path.
