BETWEEN BODY & HEART
Somatic Thai Massage for the Back Body + Emotional Alchemy

I’m so excited to finally share what I’ve been creating. β™‘

This two-day workshop weaves deep, therapeutic back-body Thai Massage with emotional wisdom, nervous-system awareness, and body-led exploration β€” bringing a deeper layer of presence and understanding into your practice, while inviting you into your own embodied experience along the way.

At the heart of the workshop is working with the whole body β€” feet, elbows, knees, palms and forearms β€” exploring grounded pressure, Sen work, compression, movement and presence through the back body.

But this isn’t about simply learning more techniques or pushing deeper.

It’s about learning to listen through your touch.

We’ll explore:

β€” sensation, emotion and nervous-system states
β€” the energy lines of the back body
β€” emotional anchors and the direction of emotional energy
β€” the practitioner’s own capacity and presence
β€” how the body can hold and communicate our experiences
β€” my Feel β†’ Soften β†’ Expand practice
β€” how to gently move between contraction and what feels supportive, spacious or alive
β€” creating the conditions for what is ready to soften, release and move

This is an embodied approach to emotional alchemy β€” not becoming a therapist or taking on more than you are trained to hold, but deepening your ability to listen, feel and support your client’s own process.

Some of the practitioners who completed my Foundation training will be joining me for this next chapter, and I’m SO excited to open additional spaces for practitioners who feel called to this work.

I’m also opening this workshop to practitioners who already have a solid foundation in their own professional practice and experience supporting others.

You don’t need to have taken my Foundation training to join.

If you’re newer to bodywork and don’t yet have that foundation, Grounded Presence: The Foundation will still be the starting point.

I love that this creates more room for different practitioners and healers to come together β€” to learn, be inspired, receive, fill up, and connect with others doing this work.

~ A beautiful afternoon spent taking photos for the back body series.

There have been so many threads woven into this over time, and I’m really feeling the richness of the creative unfolding.

So much to receive through being in the creative process itself β€” not just arriving at the finished piece. The writing, the teaching, the reflections of practitioners, and all the little pieces that emerge along the way, each one leading me into the next. Pure magic.

So grateful for all of it. β™‘

Grounded Presence: Somatic Thai Massage | September 18–20 πŸ‚

Registration for my September training is now open, with registration closing September 1.

This foundational training is for practitioners who want to deepen their understanding of Thai Massage through a somatic, body-based approach β€” learning not only the techniques, but the principles behind them and how to work with greater presence, awareness, and connection.

This training will also become the foundation for the Somatic Thai Massage trainings I’ll be offering moving forward, where we’ll explore different areas of the body and themes in greater depth.

I’m keeping these trainings small and intentional, and they won’t be offered frequently.

If you’ve been thinking about joining me for this work, this is the place to start.

10 NHPC CECs included

✧ Registration is now open for my September Grounded Presence Training

I’m so excited to open registration for the next round of my Somatic Thai Massage Practitioner Training this September.

The first training was such a beautiful experience to witness.

Amazing practitioners, each coming from different backgrounds and levels of experience, came together to explore Thai Massage in a way that went beyond simply learning techniques.

There was something deeply embodied about the weekend β€” a settling into presence, learning to work from our own bodies, and discovering how much more spacious and intuitive the practice becomes when we are truly grounded within ourselves.

This September training is the Foundation of the practitioner training series I’m developing.

We’ll spend our time exploring the foundations of my approach to Thai Massage, including practitioner presence, nervous system awareness, body mechanics, Thai Massage theory, and a thorough Feet & Legs sequence.

I’ve intentionally created this Foundation so that the trainings that follow can go deeper into specific areas of the body without needing to repeat the foundational theory each time.

From here, the series will continue into further practitioner trainings, each exploring a different aspect of the body, Thai Massage, and the deeper wisdom held within the practice.

Our next training will be in November, where we’ll begin exploring the back body and its emotional wisdom. 🀍

These workshops are currently offered as individual practitioner trainings rather than a formal certification. As the series continues to develop, I’m allowing the larger pathway to organically take shape.

For now, my intention is simple:

To share this work with practitioners who feel called to deepen their Thai Massage practice, refine the way they work with the body, and cultivate a more embodied relationship with the work they offer.

✧ Early Access Invitation
Grounded Presence β€” Somatic Thai Massage Training This Fall πŸ‚

For over 20 years, I have dedicated myself to the practice of Thai Massage β€” exploring the layers of the body, the wisdom of touch, and the power of presence.

Combined with my years of supporting women through somatic embodiment, this work has woven together into something deeper β€” a new way of relating to the body through touch.

This weaving is what gave birth to Somatic Thai Massage.

The first level of this training series, Grounded Presence: Somatic Thai Massage for Feet & Legs, was created as the foundation for this work.

At the heart of this training is the understanding that the practitioner is the first place we begin. By cultivating our own nervous system regulation and embodied presence, we develop the capacity to truly meet our clients and create a deeper, more connected experience of touch.

After teaching the first Grounded Presence training, I was deeply moved by what unfolded. I witnessed how quickly the work integrated into the practitioners’ bodies β€” how the practices weren’t simply being learned, but truly felt and embodied.

There was a beautiful sense of direct transmission, and it was powerful to witness this work come alive through each person who stepped into the space.

The final Grounded Presence training of 2026 will be held September 18–20.

Those who complete Level 1 will have access to the next level of Somatic Thai Massage training being offered in November.

If you feel drawn to step into this next chapter of Somatic Thai Massage, I invite you to join the waitlist.

Simply direct message me and I’ll make sure you receive early access before registration opens publicly.

Details will be released on August 7.

With love,
Sonja

The Path of a Ta***ic Woman β–Ώ

There is a way of living where everything becomes relationship.

A living relationship with the bodyβ€”learning to listen to its wisdom, its rhythms, its truth.

A relationship with emotionsβ€”allowing them to move through without resistance or suppression.

A relationship with intuitionβ€”trusting the quiet knowing that rises from within.

A relationship with natureβ€”remembering she is not separate from the earth, but part of its intelligence.

A relationship with life itselfβ€”meeting experience with presence rather than control.

A relationship with spiritβ€”feeling held by something greater, something divine.

In this way, everything becomes π”–π”žπ” π”―π”’π”‘ π”žπ”€π”žπ”¦π”«. ✿

"Before working with Sonja, I felt trapped, alone, overwhelmed, and exhausted. Today, I feel more freedom, more capacity to enjoy life, and a much deeper connection to myself."

β€” Jennifer Predinchuk, Registered Psychiatric Nurse

"I first met Sonja at one of her Wildly Nourished classes at Wilkie Wellness. There was something about her presence that immediately drew me in. I left feeling grounded, connected, and curious about her work.

Several months later, I found myself in one of the darkest seasons of my life. I was postpartum, struggling in my relationship, carrying the weight of the world on my shoulders, and my nervous system felt completely dysregulated. As a Registered Psychiatric Nurse, I had a strong understanding of mental health and healing, but I also knew that the approaches I had relied on throughout my life were no longer enough. Something deeper was calling for my attention.

I grew up with childhood trauma, and for much of my life I lived in survival modeβ€”hypervigilant, disconnected, always rushing, and rarely allowing myself to truly feel. Looking back, there are large parts of my life that I don't remember clearly because I was so disconnected from myself.

Working with Sonja opened a completely different pathway to healing. Through her guidance, I learned how to safely meet my emotions instead of avoiding them. She helped me face the parts of myself that I had hidden away for years with compassion, curiosity, and love.

I completed her Rose Reset program, and it was one of the most awakening, challenging, beautiful, and transformative experiences of my life. I still have hard days, but I no longer live in a constant state of hypervigilance and survival.

What makes Sonja's work unique is that she truly embodies what she teaches. Her wisdom comes from lived experience, and she meets people with incredible kindness, compassion, honesty, and integrity. She doesn't simply tell you what you want to hearβ€”she lovingly tells you what you need to hear, even when it's uncomfortable. That level of authenticity is rare.

The body-based practices and nervous system work were unlike anything I had experienced before. They allowed me to release emotions, access deeper layers of healing, and reconnect with myself in ways that traditional approaches had not.

I would recommend Sonja's work to anyone who feels stuck, disconnected, overwhelmed, or ready for deeper healing. Whether you're looking to regulate your nervous system, heal old wounds, strengthen your relationships, or discover parts of yourself that have been hidden, Sonja creates a safe and powerful space for transformation.

I am incredibly grateful our paths crossed. Working with Sonja has changed my relationship with myself, and that has positively impacted every area of my life. I look forward to continuing this journey with her"
