You deserve to be content, balanced, free from food obsession, triggers, feelings of desperate aloneness and isolation.
In small groups, we explore, with strong guidance and wisdom from Sonja, reasons why we eat.
We know there is more to this than finding the right diet. Take Sonja's hand and walk with her and your new best friends, to that healing place.
Small Group Coaching by Sonja
Why a small group?
Houston: We have a problem.
We know in order to heal we have to peel back the cover.
When we can relax and watch others coached, we get to realize many things: we are not alone, we can see other issues that might play into our own missing pieces AND we can work toward healing through resonance and common experience
Let's peel back the layers together
It's not about the food.
Focusing on the diet and what we eat missed the mark.
~The real reasons we eat. That could be scary, yes. AND walking through the potential pain holding someone's hand may be the solution.
What if we've been looking at this all wrong?
Can we assume that the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result?
We have healing happening if you're open to the leap.
Have you ever heard of resonance? We have seen it over and over - the healing that happens when we can experience resonance. You are not alone. But it sure feels that way when we isolate, hide, covertly eat in shame and guilt and judgement. We dive deep, in a trusted space, safe in it's consistency and unconditional support.
Eating stuff we shouldn't... UGH!!!
It's a beacon for solutions.
It's a beautiful neon sign directing us to the real reasons we eat.
We can actually HEAL these emotional and behavioral cues.
We do this with resonance and trusted community... and time and good work.
We will teach you about resonance.
We will help you heal.
What's inside the program?
We will initially meet 1:1 to review your individual situation, current challenges and availability.
From there we will coordinate weekly meetings - 90 minutes with up to 5 others where they will share their situations, struggles, wins, insights, with coaching feedback.
You're not alone. You will learn from others as well and receive regular coaching that benefits each of you. These gatherings are transformational.
You will see the changes, feel the love and support, allow yourself to look at the hard stuff and HEAL.
Sonja Irina Johansen
I have a unique perspective, having lived with lifelong food obsession I started healing over 10 years ago.
I literally study the science and psychology of food addiction daily, to open up doors and source new information to help my clients heal the reasons they go to food.
I began working with small groups in Nov 2021. Many of the same people are still with me, loving their own individual transformations.
Let's get started!
We have lived decades battling the diets and the weight loss and the weight gain roller coaster.
We have lacerating inner critics.
Many different sizes in our closets.
A cacophonous dialogue analyzing what we should eat, what we can get away with eating, what we want to eat, what we wish we could eat, the only thing on our minds is what’s on the menu, how can I sneak something for later.
And the berating and guilt, shame and judgment flowing like a firehose around and through all our thoughts.
So.
Maybe that’s not actually serving you?
Maybe you can let that all go?
Imagine leaving all of that behind you.
Imagine working with others who are interested in doing the hard, deep work needed to finally shed the ghosts and goblins of food obsession.
We aren’t talking about ending your addiction to overly processed foods.
Nope.
It can be mainly quieted, however, by looking at the myriad reasons we eat.
We have seen it.
These are the things you CAN HEAL:
- Emotional reasons - we could list these all day.
- SWCC (Stuff We Can’t Control) - you know what that is and NO - we can’t change any of this. We can shift our mindset and how we show up which is EVERYTHING.
- Behavioral patterns - we eat when we are lonely, bored, certain activities, certain events (all of them, potentially)
- Unconscious Contracts: what we believe…. Is it really true? Are you sure?
- And last but not least, feelings.
No wonder we struggle.
It’s really NOT about the food….

CAUTION! If you want to stay trapped in a circuit of overwhelm, isolation and the seven dimensions of food hell DO NOT join Sonja's group coaching!
Seriously, the unfailing support and encouragement, unconditional acceptance, the companionship of sharing a journey with people who get it, not to mention the gentle challenge to tired old patterns will be too much for you. If you decide to come out of the shadows though, then don't hesitate-JOIN! NOW!
My experience of this group is of a safe, dynamic, deeply caring space which has enabled me to connect and share. There's nothing you can't bring, and nothing that at least one other person won't recognizes. And Sonja's compassionate and knowledgeable holding of it all is brilliant. This lady knows her stuff.
I'm still a member and will continue to be and would encourage you to give it a try.
