About the Programme

Spiritual Wellness is a fortnightly programme presented by Sonia Cole on Saturday at 2pm.

Sonia’s Story: My personal development really stepped up when I was diagnosed with a malignant melanoma in my thirties. Having read a large number of metaphysical books I knew that all physical illness has an emotional root. I understood that its manifestation was a wiser part of me literally ‘stopping me in my tracks’.

A few days after my diagnosis I asked myself, If I were to die tomorrow, have I done what I came here to do? The answer came back, No. And my inner voice went on to say, You are not being of service in a way that will give you a sense of deep inner happiness and personal fulfilment, which is what you seek. You are not yet living your true purpose.

This prompted me to go on a journey of self-discovery. The only life I had known, no longer satisfied me, so a new chapter had to take form. I worked in the corporate field in medical sales but I truly longed to be self-employed. I used my nursing practise as a foundation and reintroduced my massage therapy which I had learnt years earlier. I studied cranio-sacral healing and past life regression therapy. I filled myself with heart-felt modalities that took me deeper and deeper into sensing energy and understanding healing on all levels.

I attended a 10 day silent retreat in New Zealand and intensive month long active workshops in Seattle. I journeyed to Egypt, Machu Picchu and Brazil. In Brazil I spent two and a half months living in Abadiania. While there I volunteered in the infirmary of the Casa Dom Ignaio, where a famous healer, John of God resides.

It was a truly wonderful experience where I was able to tap-in further to my love of spirituality and healing, as miracles happened there on a daily basis. In addition I learnt that I carried a love of writing and teaching. The purpose of which was to help people to believe that there’s more wonder to this life than one can possibly imagine. And that our life doesn’t go along in a haphazard fashion – It is all planned by ourselves before we come here and every day we are making choices that direct our lives to where they are.

Returning to New Zealand from Brazil I began to draw on all my skills to build my own Practise. Being self employed was scary on one level but deeply satisfying and empowering on another. The business grew and developed well, even attracting others to help me. I then began to feel the teacher in me emerge. I’d wake up in the morning feeling inspired to write down courses. I began to teach Goddess workshops for small groups of friends and was quietly amazed at how natural it felt. I loved passing on inspirational thoughts and ideas. Some would leave understanding themselves better, while others would feel better and leave wondering why. Both were great outcomes for me.

A little over a year ago I was drawn to attend a two day ‘Heal Your Life – Create Your Dreams’ workshop. As I sat there transfixed to the teacher’s words, tears streamed down my face. I realized I had found the next path on my personal journey. I wanted to teach this course based on the teachings of Louise Hay, a long time mentor of mine. Immediately following the course I made plans to travel overseas to complete the teacher training required.

Having completed several successful workshops here in Wellington and run back to back 3 hour classes every week for more than a year, I am now drawn to have a voice on Access radio. You could say I am feeling ‘on track’ to achieving my true goal of inner happiness by helping people to believe in them-selves.

Teaching, writing and travelling is my ultimate dream because I will go anywhere there is 12 or more people gathered and interested to learn this work.

It is my desire to help people to remember their inner passion, so they can live ‘A life of their dreams’ in a state of true happiness. Namaste.
