"Sonja created a menu that was so spot on with our retreat content it added more than just flavour."

After each session we were met with a meal that refueled us, made us feel supported, warm, loved and seen. It’s hard to understand how much food can change your event until you’ve worked with Sonja.

Sonja’s food cooked ‘Nurture Style’ nurtured our souls and bellies in every way. The only thing I would have changed is making the retreat longer so we could eat more of this food. No joke. Do yourself a favor and book Sonja right now, the investment I made in her was the smartest add on to our retreat this year, we will never do it without her.

"I'm still full! Legitimately."

Sonja does SUCH a great job. It was so intentional. Everything had a purpose, a reason and it was reflective of our event, of it being the winter season in Canada, of our group and there was a story for absolutely everything.
