About Me | Sonia Ribas

You're not alone

Becoming a Mother can be one of the most important decisions in your life. The people around you will all have an opinion on what you should and shouldn’t do; your partner, friends, doctors…

But it is only you who can understand certain things.

Loneliness. Frustration. Incomprehension. And there is also excitement. Hope. The desire to be a happy Mom more than anything in the world.

I am here to finish with the first group of feelings, and to strengthen the second. To transform your life and turn you into a healthy and radiant Mom.

Mom of a 3-month old baby boy

“Sonia got me Pregnant, as simple as that. My OB-Gyn referred me to her, as I was getting worryingly obsessed with trying to conceive with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS). At first, I was skeptical as I had already seen a bunch of doctors and felt very tired, frustrated and misunderstood. I met with her and really liked her: there was something in her I could trust. I took a leap of faith and hired her on her 6 month program… the rest is history. I got Pregnant 3 months into it, and felt so supported all the way through. I now have a 3 month old, healthy, happy baby: what else could I ask for?”

Pregnant after 5 months of working with Sonia

“Despite being diagnosed with infertility, I got Pregnant naturally 5 months after working with her. I can say hands down that I owe her this baby. Sonia took me under her wing for a magical journey to fertility, empowerment and trust. She urged me to own every single aspect of my life through an upgrade of my food, my sleep habits, my approach to relationships, my attitude, my thoughts, my feelings… and so much more! I will continue working with her through my Pregnancy, as I completely trust her to guide my through all stages of Motherhood.”

Mom of two

"Sonia got me to do yoga, got me to move my body, got me to develop a sustainable and healthy diet that I’m not going to give up when I stop working with her, and got my husband and kids to eat veggies and fruit! She has taught me so many things about the psychology of eating and mindfulness and health! Thank you, thank you!!!"

Mom of three

"Even though I had my kids over 5 years ago, I was struggling with my weight and body shape. I had always dreamed of going back to my pre-baby weight, and had tried every single diet I had come across, all without success. Sonia provided useful methods, ideas and tangible plans to help me change my thoughts and goals about nutrition. She is kind, thoughtful and supportive… but also results-oriented: she won’t stop until you’re happy. Why wouldn’t anyone want to enhance their life and attitude towards food? She has helped me lose over 30lbs and approach eating in a positive, relaxed way."

My personal journey

Welcome. I’m Sonia Ribas: health coach, yoga teacher and, yes… Mother.

Not that long ago, I would never have thought that being a Mom would be the most important adventure of my life…

My daily life was hectic, and devoted to my job as marketing manager for large multinational companies. My professional career was promising; I had recognition, satisfaction and great financial retribution.

But I wanted something else. And so I took a huge leap of faith.

It wasn’t yet motherhood (not so fast!). The first step in my personal transformation came through yoga; it was as “simple” as yoga. It had always been there, but had never really grabbed my attention.

What started as a hobby, began to offer me increasingly important lessons, and on a daily basis the opportunities grew for me to delve deeper into meditation, mindfulness and nutrition, until suddenly everything fit into the holistic idea of health as lifestyle.

And before I knew it, I had become a yoga instructor and founded Yogin’it, an online platform designed to nourish people’s yoga lifestyle, and which inspired hundreds of thousands of yoga practitioners around the world each day. 6 years later I merged Yogin’it with the leading yoga network Omstars, in order to focus my time and energy on helping women like you.

LIGHTING THE FLAME

Becoming a Health Coach came as a natural consequence. I knew I had found my true vocation, and I was successful at helping people transform their lives. Yet the best was still to come with my ultimate vocation…

And yes, I am now referring to Motherhood. In 2012 my husband and I decided to have a baby, and I decided to put all my knowledge to use. The moment had come, and I designed an integrative plan to live the process to the utmost.

Nutrition, a healthy lifestyle, yoga, meditation… Pregnancy would be the perfect opportunity to test my holistic vision of health.

Of course it was not all a bed of roses . I underwent periods of doubt, insecurity, anxiety. Insomnia, nausea during Pregnancy, body changes. These were followed by the challenges associated with lactation, Postpartum issues… I learned a lot, and I took note of it all.

All the challenges faded into insignificance once I became a Mom. I could feel the magic inside me. The miracle of creating and hosting a new life. It was such a transformational experience that I have repeated it twice more…

Today, I want you to experience it too. I want to share what I have learned to guide you through the amazing journey of Motherhood. Want to know how?
