The Warrior.
The courage to walk through fire and return with something that may help another person find their way.
The life behind the Sanctuary
Where it all
began.
Motherhood, art, healing and the winding path that brought me home.
Motherhood & clay
Motherhood made me
an artist.
I found sculpture when I was six months pregnant with Ava, living far from home in a country that still did not feel like mine. I was carrying fears and anxieties I did not yet know how to name, and I felt deeply alone without the support system I needed.
Then I stepped into a clay studio. Sculpting gave my hands somewhere to place everything my voice could not yet hold. Clay became a way to turn grief, pain, confusion, loneliness and trauma into something I could hold, shape and transform.
What began as a therapeutic practice became the foundation of my life as an artist. When Ava arrived, she was the one thing in my life that felt unquestionably real. In many ways, we grew up together. As I guide her through her own becoming, I can see that she has been guiding me through mine all along.

Creating new life.
Building a new
chapter.
Almost exactly ten years after I gave birth to Ava, I welcomed Wylder. For years, I did not believe I would have another child. My experience surrounding Ava’s birth and everything that followed left me deeply guarded. Then I met someone I believed was my best friend, and I allowed myself to dream of family again.
I created the entire Sonni & Sense collection while I was pregnant with Wylder. After she arrived, the relationship ended when she was only two months old, and the dream I had finally opened my heart to was dismantled. That betrayal was heartbreaking… but it also became the beginning of a healing journey I had postponed for years.
The Sonni & Sense Collection
What I created
during that chapter.
Costa Rica · 2024
The moment
the path shifted.
Before launching Sonni & Sense, I traveled to Costa Rica and sat with Ayahuasca. I came home, launched the business and almost immediately realized it had never been my dream.
Of everything I created, one product excited me more than the rest. It came at the very end: Eternal Light, a crystal-infused flameless candle.
I began bringing Eternal Light to sound baths held by other facilitators. Slowly, my attention drifted away from the candle and toward sound itself. What began as curiosity became a calling.
I trained in sound healing, began building the Sanctuary and eventually found 9D Breathwork. Sonni & Sense was never the destination. It was the bridge that led me here.
Egypt · 2025
A place I had
always remembered.
For as long as I can remember, I felt pulled toward Egypt.
By the time I reached the Temple of Isis, I had walked through fire. Some of the most painful chapters of my life had unfolded publicly. I spent years surviving by disappearing, making my world smaller and swallowing words I no longer felt safe enough to speak.
Egypt began to loosen that silence. Among its temples, I felt my throat chakra open and the truth I had carried inside begin to rise. I returned more grounded, less afraid to speak my truth, and finally willing to be fully seen and heard.
Los Angeles · Real Estate
A different kind
of home.
My life has also carried me back into real estate, nearly ten years after I first got my license and bought the home that would eventually become the Sanctuary. Joining The Oppenheim Group and stepping back into the world of real estate felt strangely full circle.
Real estate, art and the Sanctuary may look like separate parts of my life, but they all come back to the same thing for me: how the spaces we live in shape the way we feel.

Written in
the Stars.
My chart revealed the thread running through everything: courage, voice, creativity and the Sanctuary waiting to be built.
The Storyteller.
What I once swallowed is now meant to be spoken, turning lived experience into language and medicine.
The Lion.
An invitation to lead from the heart, refuse invisibility and claim the narration of my own life.
Everything led here
There was a time
I prayed for a
space like this.
I used to look back at certain chapters and see only what they had taken from me. Now, I see what they were leading me toward. This home. This work. The woman I became.
The sculpture studio taught me how to give emotion form. Sonni & Sense taught me what I wanted to carry forward. Costa Rica invited me inward. Egypt returned me to my voice. Sound healing and 9D showed me how an experience can hold someone when words are not enough.

Nothing was
wasted.
What once looked like detours now looks like direction. Motherhood, art, healing, the businesses that taught me and the places that called me back to myself were never separate stories. They were one path home.
