Growing up, playing the piano was my sanctuary in a world that felt overwhelming and unsafe. As a quiet, sensitive child, I often felt overshadowed and inadequate, carrying those feelings well into adulthood. I became a chronic people-pleaser, hiding my true self behind a shaky façade of confidence, while also struggling with intense body shame.

In my twenties, I withdrew completely, convincing myself I was content living a solitary life. Beneath the surface, though, I felt profoundly lonely and unfulfilled. Professionally, I drifted through roles in banking, office work, and media, searching for meaning but finding none.

In my 40’s, a spiritual awakening sparked my desire for purpose, but I felt agonisingly stuck and unsure of my path—until one night, a dream delivered an unforgettable message: “Sonya, your natural gift is that of a teacher. Use what you’re passionate about to help guide, inspire, and transform others.” This revelation led me to life coaching, which began my journey of self-discovery, even though it wasn’t my final destination.

Then, the biggest transformation of all came in 2021 when I attended my first sound bath. The moment I felt the resonance of the instruments, my heart opened. It reconnected me to my love of music and showed me how I could use sound as a healing modality to serve others. 

I trained extensively in sound healing, relaxation massage, and flower essences, modalities that played a key role in my own healing. And in January 2024 I left my media career to focus solely on Harmonic Resonance and my heart’s work.

In my journey to date, I’ve experienced profound shifts from emotional repression to emotional embodiment.  From hiding away to being seen and finding my voice.  From intense mental stress to inner calm. From self-doubt to inspired self-belief. And from emptiness to fulfilment.

I’ve learnt to honour my sensitivity, embrace my gifts, and live in alignment with my truth—and I’m here to hold space for others to do the same.
