Although I’d practiced meditation for many years as part of yoga, I had never considered doing it as a stand-alone exercise, and certainly not with a group. But the trauma of a miscarriage and anxiety associated with a subsequent pregnancy left me looking for ways to quiet and control my mind.

Sonia’s meditation group has offered me that and more: yes, I am now better able to find an inner quiet that has infused my entire life. But this quiet has also afforded me the space to let go of some heavy emotional baggage that I’d long carried with me. And I’ve become part of a community of fabulous, like-minded women. My weekly visit to Sonia’s feels like a little holiday inside myself! And I am a happier person – and I believe a better new mother – because of that.
