hi i'm sonia
a self love & healing advocate
Born in Punjab, India, and transplanted to California at just one year old, my heart has always been filled with Love.
​
​Growing up, I navigated the challenge of straddling two worlds—an Indian daughter at home and an American student at school. This duality left me feeling adrift, struggling to find my true self. From childhood through adulthood, I found myself trapped in a cycle of societal expectations, often giving more than I had – pouring from an empty cup.
​
My academic journey led me to the University of California, Davis, where I earned degrees in Psychology and Communication. Following this, I pursued a Master of Public Administration from California State University, Bakersfield. Despite achieving success by conventional standards, I felt a persistent internal emptiness. I realized that this emptiness was because I was constantly holding myself to the expectations of others, and that conformity wasn't the path to self discovery or connection.
​
In a bold leap of faith, I left my ten-year corporate career to seek self discovery in Bali and becoming a yoga and meditation teacher. It was there that I learned to prioritize my well being, starting my journey to self discovery, acceptance, and love.
​
Stepping away from institutional norms, I dedicated myself to understanding my desires and delved deep into self exploration through self reflection, healing, yoga, and meditation. Today, I'm deeply passionate about advocating for self love and healing, inspiring and empowering others to reconnect with their true essence and embrace love in all its forms, while breaking free from the constraints of institutional boundaries, self limitations, and societal expectations.
​
My mantra: Love yourself first, so you can love others and then spread your love to every corner of this beautiful universe.
