I'm Mama to 4 amazing kids!
I fell in love with Ayurveda as soon as I started studying it. I only wished I had learned it when I was younger....I would've been able to better support myself and my family, now that I see how Ayurveda influences all aspects of life.
What I love most about Ayurveda is the knowledge it has given me to notice what is imbalanced, and I now have tools to shift that imbalance. I am my own healer!!
I studied with Katie Silcox at The Shakti School, receiving my Ayurvedic Health Coach certificate and my Ayurvedic Health Counselor certificate.
I love being in the outdoors, whether on my sailboat, rafting, hiking or my favorite simple morning & evening walks.
I am passionate about helping women with balancing their hormones, bloating, acne, menopause, fertility, anxiety, depression, digestive issues, weight loss, hot flashes, feeling more energy and finding their passion doing what they love!

When I first learned what Ayurveda is, it was one of those moments where you feel like the stars just aligned and you're on your path. My interest was in naturopathy.. but it always seemed so hard to get into and not very clear what it even was. Ayurveda is a science, therefore everything can be broken down to the 5 elements and that resonated so much with me. I studied 1 semester at California College of Ayurveda in Nevada City. I then completed 2 years at Shakti School with Katie Silcox. Ayurveda is the greatest tool in my life. It always has an answer for me when dealing with digestive issues, disordered eating, and stabilizing my nervous system. It has taught me how to eat and really feel nourished, how to feel really present, and how to feel pleasure in the day to day.
I specialize in working with younger woman/ girls who want to learn how to eat to feel good physically, mentally and spiritually. I also love to explore woman’s cycles and teach them how to feel their best according to what phase of their cycle they are in.

After having kids, I found I had constant brain fog and fatigue. I was napping most days, hydrating on coffee and just getting by. Sonya introduced me to Ayurvedic practices and over the course of a few months helped me change small daily habits that resulted in feeling like I was a whole new person! My brain fog and fatigue cleared and I lost over 10 pounds without trying. I feel so much more grounded and present in my daily life because of the routines Sonya has helped me establish. I cant recommend her enough!

Sonya taught me about presence, breath and how to check in with myself. She helped guide me through a cleanse, that was so healing for my body. I was able to quit my daily soda habit as well as learn to be present with my meals. Sonya taught me self-massage, that has been so healing, helped with inflammation and made ME LOVE MYSELF more. I have a new set of tools in my life with Ayurveda thanks to Sonya. She tailored our meetings to me and was very intuitive as to what I needed. It was life-changing for me!
Kamie
I came to Sonya looking for help with belly fat and insomnia. I exercise regularly and eat well most of the time. I had even gone to a nutritionist and she thought I had a great eating and exercise plan. I didn't know what else I could do. Sonya took the time to figure out what my needs were, what I was doing and came up with a plan. Changing little things that I do and the way that I do them made all the difference in the world! My sleeping pattern is so much better, and my belly fat under control. I will continue to work with Sonya and use Ayurveda in my life, I love what it has done for me! Thank you Sonya for investing time into me.

Ayurveda puts us back in touch with nature and ourselves.
Our Story
Our family moved to the Sierra Nevada foothills of Northern California when Rio was 1. Being raised here in the trees allowed Rio to run barefoot with her 3 siblings, exploring the forest and fairies....this inspired her journey into Ayurveda and Yoga. After high school, while traveling through Nepal and India, she became a Yoga Teacher and was introduced to Ayurveda.
Her love of learning Ayurveda inspired her to bring her mother to a training....As Sonya started studying, she too, fell in love with Ayurveda...We've been studying it and practicing it together ever since.
Through our journey together we have become aware of how our current world has contributed to a disconnect for us, our bodies and who we are as mother, daughter and women on this earth. Through Ayurveda, we have become more aware of parts of our generational cord that needs a new story. We are working on healing and shifting this so that our lineage may have the awareness and knowledge needed to feel at home in their bodies. Little did we know that this would bring a lifelong journey of healing and understanding for each other and our mother/daughter relationship. Diving into the practices of Ayurveda together, have not only transformed our lives individually but also, our relationship together.
We are here to support your healing and wellness. With this new information, you too, will feel a love and understanding for your body. Through Ayurveda we become aware of subtleties within that lead us to our own healing and access to our intuition and wisdom.
Mother Daughter Gatherings
We put together customized Mother/Daughter Ayurveda workshops. These usually work best with at least 8 in attendance. We can travel to you or you can come to us in Camino California.
Through the lens of Ayurveda we are better able to understand each other and strengthen relationships. We will give you tools and practices that can bring love and healing, for our bodies and hearts and each other.
