About Sonja

Read Success Stories

"Working with Sonja gave me my life back. When I started with Sonja a few years ago my muscles were weak, tight and I experienced a tremendous amount of pain daily. It all stemmed from a difficult pregnancy, a vehicle accident and an unwillingness to work on my own health. Sonja pushes you to be your best because she truly wants it for you. She finds the problem and works to address it because she has an incredible understanding of the body, health and fitness. When I first started with her I couldn’t do one lunge let alone stand on one foot. Because of her, I now compete in fitness competitions and have fallen in love with fitness and being strong. Thank you Sonja!"

Sarah
“Solshine Pilates has been transformative to my lifestyle and wellbeing. I struggle with finding the time in my life to go to pilates/exercise classes, and when I do have time, often these class schedules do not align with my free moments. I am able to access amazing classes with Sonja at anytime, and anywhere, and particularly love her Fit on the Fly series which allows me to choose 10-25 minute workouts for when I just need to get some movement in before work, but don't have the time for a full hour long class. What's more is that Sonja brings the same level of energy, positivity, and encouragement to her recorded videos as she does to her live classes. I can engage with a prerecorded video, and feel like I am right there in the studio with her! ”

Sasha
"Sonja's on demand Pilates sessions are the custom fit answer to my fitness goals at 64 years young. I can choose what I want to work on, for how long, and in the privacy of my home, especially during the winter months. Sonja's knowledge, choreography and personality keep me highly motivated so that I use my app 5 days a week! It's the best. Sciatic leg pain is gone. Flexibility, balance and strength are increasing. This app is a bargain!"

Anya
“I can’t say enough great things about training with Sonja. She got me in shape for my wedding, kept me in shape during my pregnancy, and has now helped me get my body and core back postpartum. I never would have guessed that I could be back to my pre-pregnancy self in less than 6 months after having a baby, but she helped make that happen. Her Foundation to Fit series is perfect because true to the name, it starts with your foundation, which was critical for me after having a baby. Each session builds upon the last and you can really see results by the end. I cherish my weekly one-on-one sessions with her and I’m so thankful that she offers her time remotely since we’re across the country. She’s the best."

Meghan
"Sonja's approach to her classes is always fueled with encouragement and kindness. She motivates you to do those last repetitions with her sweet smile and confidence in you. Her sessions are versatile, challenging, and tailored to suit your needs in every way. I once had a full-blown meltdown from the loss of a dear friend and she held my hand, listened to me, let me cry, and supported me just like a best friend would. My goals have been met and exceeded!! I spring out of bed every morning without any back pain, I have much more endurance with my clients and most importantly I feel beautiful on the inside and the outside. I made the commitment to myself and Sonja and finally feel like the woman I have always wanted to be."

Michelle
"I have been doing Pilates for 10 years in several different cities and states, and can confidently say that Sonja is the best Pilates teacher I have ever had! Whether it is on the reformer or the mat, she thoughtfully designs highly creative and challenging classes while maintaining a welcoming and kind atmosphere and community. She somehow maintains a gentle calm while encouraging you to push yourself. Her classes have helped me through some difficult times, and I always look forward to see what she will cook up for us next!"

Molly
“Not only is Sonja an exceptional teacher, but she is also friendly, knowledgeable, and energetic. She inspires and motivates you to look and feel better about yourself in a positive, supportive, and encouraging way. I’m happy to say that I reached my pre-pregnancy weight four months after the birth of my daughter. I can’t say enough about Sonja and the help she gave me to reach my goals and feel good about myself again! She is the best!"

Nicole
"My path to fitting into a wedding dress one size too small was filled with obstacles. As my body and its quirks changed, Sonja never gave up and constantly adapted my sessions. My relationship with Sonja helped me lose over 30 lbs, but most importantly, her guidance and unwavering support have helped me change my habits for a better and healthier lifestyle. I feel stronger, happier, healthier, and more confident from the knowledge and strength Sonja bestowed upon me beyond the studio. I cannot express how fortunate I feel to have her as a trainer and friend. There are not enough words for me to tell the world just how amazing she is as a trainer and person!"
