Proud.
Changed.
Grateful.
Depleted.
Deeper into my truth.

I’m feeling all these things.

I’m proud of following the call to a slower life outside of Auckland. Here my life has blossomed. Not only from the lighter energy, but through close friendships and a support network that I haven’t experienced since high school.

If you know my background, you’ll know how big this is for me.

From over 2 decades of aloneness - where I cut myself and my heart off - to who I am now, and how I feel now, is like night and day.

I’m also energetically depleted. I haven’t had a break all year and my body has let me know it’s time. I’ve been slowing down, offering myself more grace, and allowing space to rest and simply be — without needing to do.

I’ve quietly changed too. My self-belief has been tested! I’ve never experienced such highs and lows as I have this year in year 2 of my business - from feeling like I can do anything, to many, many moments of rock bottom.

But I navigated through each contraction, and I now stand stronger in my energy and belonging because of it.

I’m ready to go even deeper into my truest self-expression and flex my creative muscle more next year. I have a few ideas on how this might unfold, and I’m excited!

🙏🏼 Thank you for being here with me — for reading, listening, attending events, and for choosing to support yourself in the ways you can.

It’s truly an honour to hold space for your hearts, and my own, through the work I love.

I’ll be gifting myself a proper break until February. However my studio will still be open for 1:1 or small group sessions during this time.

So if you’re heading to the Waihi or the Mount area and feel like treating yourself to a relaxation massage w/sound, sound healing, or a flower essence remedy, I’d love to see you.

Wishing you a gentle close to the year, and a heart-led beginning to whatever comes next. I can’t wait to share more with you in 2026.

So much feels possible when you move from head to heart.

It’s a huge frequency shift ✨

Lately I’ve been noticing that I almost feel the constrictive energy of overthinking, confusion or worry in my body first - before I realise what’s happening in my mind.

For me, that’s a big shift. A sign that I’m more connected than I’ve ever been.

Because I used to live so far from my body.

I’ll take the feeling of expansiveness, self-trust and a higher frequency any day.

And when you add sound into the mix? 🔥🔥🔥 Everything opens ❤️

When I first started sharing sound journeys, I was terrified.

Not about the sound part — but about introducing the session with everyone’s eyes on me… and leading a guided meditation.

I remember drafting out what I wanted to say, changing it a hundred times, and then memorising it until I could recall every single little word.

In the past, any time I had to speak in front of a group — even just saying my name and what I did - was nerve wracking.

Anything more than that, I’d leave my body, my mind would go blank, and I’d rely on rehearsing to get through it.

But because I was speaking from my head, not my heart, it never came out how I wanted. I’d walk away replaying it over and over in my mind, feeling really embarrassed and beating myself up about it.

I was trying so hard to be perfect.

But perfect lives in the mind, not the heart.

Once I let go and started speaking from my heart, the words started to flow. It didn’t matter if they came out a bit jumbled, because they were real. They sounded like me. And that’s when I began to trust myself more.

I actually quite enjoy speaking in front of people now. I love feeling the shift of allowing myself to be seen just as I am - perfectly imperfect, and remembering how far I’ve come, despite the fear.

Every time we honour our voice and our natural self-expression, we sink a little deeper into our true self.

And we are so much more than we believe ourselves to be ✨✨✨

Come gather with me this Saturday evening — we’ll tone together, then drop into a sound journey where you can relax, leave the mind behind, and melt into the truth of your heart and your unique voice.

Oh, and did I mention the session features some pretty world-class sound healing instruments? 😉✨

Until recently, I said, ‘I’m not a singer, but I love to sing.’

Well - actually I AM a singer. We all are.

I’ve decided I’m not going to belittle my voice and feed into underlying shame any more - because that’s what I was doing in that statement.

It’s not about performing or having a voice to die for.

💓 It’s about opening our hearts and letting our voice and its vibration move through us - for the joy of it. And inspiring others to do the same.

🦋 It’s about freedom — the freedom to express when so many of us have had our voices shut down.

Our voice really is pure medicine for the soul.

For upcoming events, join me with an open heart as we tone together - celebrating our voices and opening sacred space before the sound journey.

I can’t wait to experience this with you. It’s so powerful in a group 🙌

What a joy to share another sound journey at Hilltop Haven 🥰. Still feeling the beautiful energy of the space and connection from the group. Cant wait to return early December 🌿🌷

Thank you Sonya Reinink for the most beautiful Sound Journey at Hilltop Haven this afternoon. We were truly honored to experience your incredible work. Thank you to the gorgeous souls who attended and chose stillness, peace and self care in its purest form...Namaste.....🙏✨️🌷💕

I was recently invited to share a few sound healing sessions at a retreat for those with lived trauma.

When I first said yes, I’ll admit - I felt a little nervous. It felt like a big responsibility.

But I needn’t have been.

On day one, five or six people came along. For most, it was their first-ever sound experience.

They didn’t quite know what to expect - but afterwards they were blown away by the sounds and the calm they felt.

The next day, word had spread, and ten people turned up. Four had returned for a second session.

One man - who told me he “doesn’t do emotions” - came up to me half an hour later and said,

“I feel different. My tummy is smiling. I feel happy! But I don’t do happy!”

He was struggling to comprehend what had happened, but he knew something big had shifted.

We shared a hug, and my heart melted.

It’s my favourite thing - introducing stillness and sound to those who have never experienced it before.

For many in that group, the sounds helped them sleep, quiet their mind, and safely ‘feel’.

And now they’re all off looking for sound healers in their area (Whanganui sound healers - you might be busy!)

If I can create space for even one person to feel a shift like that - that means everything to me.

If you haven’t experienced a sound journey yet, and you’ve been thinking about it… please come along.

Attuning to your energy - your feelings, your heart, your desires, your life - creates awareness that gently opens the way for change.

And being immersed in sound that supports and guides you inwards to your truth and helps to clear away heaviness at the same time - it’s a powerful alchemy.

Even if you don’t ‘feel’ the sound working, the frequencies are helping to harmonise your body and energy all the same.

I’m in Auckland this weekend and would love to share this experience with you.

Enjoy a few mindful minutes of sound supported by these grounding vibrations, and notice what shifts 🌀

Feeling so grateful for these ancient instruments, and their potent overtones that help to calm and harmonise in the deepest way.

If you have a singing bowl, let it sing today and share the love with someone who needs it 💕 🕊️🪷

For so many years, I felt lost.

Stuck in a career that drained me, numbing myself, hiding behind walls, not even knowing who I was any more.

But slowly I began to awaken and things started to shift. I felt my soul was saying ‘ok it’s time to get this show on the road’.

Then one night I decided to pop along to a sound bath.

And everything changed.

I felt an instant knowing: this is for me! 🙌❤️🥰

Sound has been the medicine that helped me come home to myself - to my voice, my joy, my body, my gifts.

And it’s why I love sharing it with you. Because I know how deeply it can bring peace, belonging and reconnection.

This is my journey, and maybe it speaks to a part of yours too 💕

🙏🏼 Forever grateful for inspiring me on my path that night - and beyond x

One of my favourite things that truly warms my heart after a sound journey is hearing the feedback.

🌙 “it helps me sleep”
☀️ “it lifts my depression”
💫 “I feel so much lighter”
🥰 “I’ve never felt so much at peace”
✨ “I just love all your instruments”

I love how one session can touch so many different aspects - it’s such a deeply holistic experience.

For me when I receive, it’s an opportunity to drop deeper into my body and connect to spirit.

If you haven’t experienced a session yet, I’d love to welcome you to one of mine - or seek out a good local practitioner near you 🌷

✨ This week has been full of 1-1 sessions, and there’s been a common thread - an urgent need to release, ease stress, and find centre again.

I’ve felt it too. The past few months have been a rollercoaster of highs and lows, and I’m so grateful to have an arsenal of tools (and friends) on hand to help me soften, reset, and shift from my head into a deeper place of calm.

What I love most is that my clients answered the call for balance.

Many of them are space-holders themselves - caring for clients, families, and communities.

They understand that to hold others, their own energy needs to be nourished first.

Too often we wait until we’re running on empty, letting things escalate until our energy spirals and our frequency plummets.

But our energy deserves our care long before that point.

💫 Tending to your energy isn’t selfish - it’s how you stay connected, centred, and able to shine

💫 And softening definitely isn’t a weakness - it’s essential to allow space, peace and self-compassion in

Let me know if you agree 🥰

For years I let other people’s energy overpower mine.

I shrank back, stayed quiet and let myself disappear because it felt safer to hide than risk being judged wrong or not good enough.

I felt inferior to vibrant, outgoing people. Who would be interested in quiet little me when there were fun, confident people to hang out with?

But hiding came with a cost: resentment, invisibility, disconnection and aloneness.

Plus a whole lot of bitter, negative energy inside me.

The day I finally said NO MORE was the day everything shifted.

I stopped abandoning myself and started choosing me.

I started attuning to my energy instead of everyone else’s.

🌀 This post shares the choices I now live by. May they inspire you to stand strong in your own energy, too 💫

Led me know in the comments if any of the “I choose” statements resonate 🦋🤍🌿
