Working with Sonja over the past two years has completey transformed my voice, not only my singing voice but also the way I speak and express myself. Her approach goes beyond technique, she holds a space of deep presence and feminine magic that allows for true vocal and personal expansion. Each session is a journey, inviting me to discover new layers of my voice and embody it with greater confidence and authenticity. I’m beyond grateful for her guidance and the profound shifts she has helped me open.

Sonja is a soulful teacher, whose knowledge and wisdom is wide & deep. I left feeling more centered in the truth of who I am and what I care about.

And I am now finding myself expressing in sound more than ever before! Oh the sounds that emit from me now!

I can't wait to dive deeper with this masterful, healing sound queen.

My experience in Sonja's OVOS workshop 1 and 2, was nothing short of extraordinarily transformational.

She is a gifted and intuitive facilitator, generously passing on a lifetime's work, experience and research.

Sonja is a rare treasure in the world of music and Somatic Therapies and I am keenly anticipating the next offering. If you are presented with an opportunity to take a course, do not hesitate.

Exceptional!

Sonja’s courses for voice and somatic healing come from that same well as her genius artistry. There is a depth, an understanding of the source power of voice and music paired with the rational skills of therapeutic sciences, healing lineages and music theories. Hers is a well of never ending flow of healing and expansion through voice. Through Sonja, I have found a key through to move my old limitations around my voice and expression. Like everything, it takes that commitment to practice and when adhered to, the own well of voice healing also is ever flowing. I highly recommend for you to share in Sonja’s world of voice.

My work with Sonja has been transformational.  Not only has my singing improved, but I have also been granted access to a deeper part of myself that longed to be free.  Through mentorship with her, I quickly gained the technique tools I needed to become a confident public singer.  In the group workshop setting, I have learned the power of harmonies to unify and connect with people on a soul level.

I get goosebumps every time!  Her teaching style is clear, simple and kind. I hope to train with her for years to come.

I am so grateful for Sonja’s work and all of her offerings. I have worked with her in Opening the Voice of the Soul workshops 1 & 2 as well as privately. After working with her, I not only feel stronger technically and more literate musically, I also feel more in my body and connected to a healthy self-esteem. I feel so held and encouraged to embody my whole, creative self. Sonja has truly mastered her healing art—authentically and humbly—all while exposing you to the power and meaning from traditions all over the world. I’ve worked with other singing instructors, but none so tapped into themselves or the divine energy behind their voice. Most of all, in her group work I feel so nourished and supported emotionally and spiritually by her and everyone who participates. It is a safe space to be vulnerable and to explore creativity regardless of skill level. I believe it is helping pave a path for more love to exist on this planet as we learn to share our gifts with less judgment, ego, or fear. I’m looking forward to any and all future offerings! Mahalo nui loa!

Working with Sonja has enabled me to become more comfortable in the world. Prior to my voice training with her I would feel nervous energy when I needed to speak in front of a group. I am a Nurse Supervisor in a surgical department and using my voice in a strong and meaningful way is very important. I find that the more voice training I do with Sonja, the more clearly I am able to speak the truth in a non-threatening manner and the more useful I am to my team. I also was extremely shy as a young woman and didn’t know I could carry a tune. I now love singing in my car with the radio on and hearing myself be right there, in the right key. It is very, very fun. Singing old world songs is deeply nourishing to my soul and I love every lesson.

Singing has always been my love, my joy, and my therapy. That’s never been a secret to those closest to me, but somehow, I still kept it hidden. In front of others, my voice would shrink behind my shyness, and I never felt fully comfortable—not even with a voice teacher.
That’s when I found Sonja—during my certification training—and something just clicked. Her supportive presence, intuitive teaching style, and open-hearted nature immediately made me feel safe. I knew I was in good hands.
Since then, I’ve taken private lessons with her and completed the OVOS course. Not only have my singing skills improved, but I also feel much more confident sharing my voice with others. I still have more to explore and grow, but with Sonja’s guidance, it feels not only possible—but joyful. I feel truly grateful for having such an amazing mentor and soul guide by my side. If you’re looking for a voice teacher who is both compassionate and deeply knowledgeable, Sonja is the one.
