PREGNANT AFTER 5 MONTHS OF WORKING WITH SONIA

“My world changed five minutes into our first conversation…”

“Sonia has a magical way of making you see the world of fertility in a new light. Completely demoralized after three OB-GYNS diagnosed me with infertility due to extremely poor egg quality, I was very skeptical of an “all natural approach.” Not only was I completely demotivated and hopeless, I was also disappointed in myself for not being able to fulfill my biggest dream of conceiving a child and being a Mom. And on top of that my husband and I were fighting about CONSTANTLY. He kept saying we could adopt a child, but I refused to believe I was not able to get pregnant. It was not a good situation. Then I met Sonia through a mutual friend. My world changed five minutes into our first conversation!

Sonia is extremely kind, warm, thoughtful and supportive. She understood my feelings from the get go and it was like she could read my mind and my heart. For the first time during this entire process, I actually felt hope and excitement. She often uses the analogy that conceiving a baby is like lighting a fire: you need good quality wood, the right spark and all the right conditions (like the right humidity, protection from wind, etc). As Sonia says, conceiving a baby is very similar. She told me not to obsess about the quality of my eggs as the only factor… because even if they were the best quality, we wouldn’t “light the fire” if I was stressed, malnourished, dehydrated, sleep deprived or full of negative feelings.

Long story short, 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! Five months after working with her I got pregnant, NATURALLY! I can say wholeheartedly that I owe this baby to Sonia. I will continue working with her throughout my pregnancy, as I completely trust her to guide me through all stages of Motherhood. Sonia has become my health ally and I definitely want her to help me prepare for a healthy, natural birth!”

“She helped in every stage of my pregnancy”

I met Sonia when I was just seven weeks pregnant. I was constantly nauseated, vomiting eight times a day, with relentless headaches, feeling exhausted and dehydrated. In one word: MISERABLE.

Sonia empathized with me, as she has been through three similar pregnancies herself. She guided me out of the storm into a beautiful, healthy and radiant pregnancy. She helped me build a healthy pregnancy diet for every stage of my pregnancy. She taught me how to cook easy, yummy recipes. She shared her pregnancy yoga videos with me. She helped me relieve all my discomforts and fears and prepared me for an easy, natural birth at home. My favorite part: her guided pregnancy meditations at the beginning of each session!”

‘‘She’s become a key family member’’

I hired Sonia after I had my third child. I found myself overwhelmed with two toddlers plus a newborn to look after, while trying to recover from an unexpected C-section delivery. It was a lot to handle.

I looked forward to meeting with Sonia every two weeks. She provided constructive ideas and tips, tons of encouragement, and judgment-free understanding as I struggled with binges, breastfeeding, milk supply, sleep deprivation, hormone changes, aches and pains and all the other stresses of the first months of motherhood.

I immediately trusted Sonia and appreciated her holistic and personally tailored approach. While already relatively food-educated, I learned so much and felt very supported to rework my thinking around food and adopt a healthy postpartum diet for me and my entire family.

I can’t believe how much healthier my kids are eating now! Sonia is warm, down to earth and understanding… yet very focused on my goals. I am forever thankful and now proudly call her “family” as I truly feel she’s part of our family!

‘‘I’ve lost 30 Pregnancy-lbs and gained a new attitude towards food’’

“Even though I had my kids over five years ago, I was still 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 out there…. without success. After years of restrictive diets (that NEVER work), I decided to try something different. I had never seen a health coach and had no clue what to expect.
Best decision ever! 

Sonia has been invaluable on my journey towards body acceptance. She provided invaluable tools and tangible plans to help me change how I thought about nutrition. So many women beat themselves up about how they look (especially post pregnancy!) what they eat and how much they exercise. 

Through Sonia’s coaching, I learned that foods aren’t bad or good (who knew?!). I learned what a macronutrient rich snack consists of and that different bodies need different types of exercise. Her program proved to me that I could lose weight while eating all foods in moderation and without starving myself. 

Working with Sonia allowed me to reevaluate my relationship with food. Sonia is kind, thoughtful and supportive… but most importantly, results-oriented. She won’t stop until you’re happy. Who wouldn’t to enhance their life and attitude towards food? She has helped me lose over thirty pounds and completely reshape how I think about food and nutrition.”.
