Meet Sonja, Your Life Coach

About Sonja Tobey

Sonja Tobey is an ICF-credentialed coach (ACC) who helps leaders and individuals discover the confidence already within them and live with greater wholeness — in their work, their relationships, and themselves.

As an ordained United Methodist clergy, Sonja brings a unique blend of pastoral wisdom and professional coaching to her practice. She knows firsthand the demands of leading others while navigating your own inner critic, competing priorities, and the pressure to have it all together. That experience shapes the compassionate, honest, and grounded approach she brings to every coaching relationship.

Sonja believes that true confidence isn’t manufactured — it’s uncovered. And wholeness isn’t a destination; it’s a way of moving through life with integrity and intention. In coaching, Sonja and her clients work as thought partners — exploring challenges together, asking better questions, and uncovering insights that move you forward. You bring the expertise on your own life; Sonja brings the tools, perspective, and presence to help you see it more clearly.

Whether you’re stepping into a new leadership role, working through a life transition, or simply ready to quiet the self-limiting voices that have held you back, Sonja will walk alongside you.

Testimonials

A neatly organized weekly planner open on a soft beige fabric surface, each day filled with legible, tidy handwriting of commitments and self-care blocks, with several tasks gently highlighted in pastel markers. A slim sand-colored hourglass with fine white sand stands beside it, mid-flow, symbolizing time management and intention. A small, minimalist brass paperclip and a sprig of dried lavender rest nearby. Soft, diffused morning light spills across the scene from an off-frame window, creating a calm, matte appearance with subtle shadows. Photographic realism, shot from a slightly elevated angle with a shallow depth of field, focusing on the center of the planner. The mood is organized, reassuring, and subtly motivating, ideal for illustrating stress management and attainable goal-setting.

Working with Sonja, my confidence grew as I navigated through my thoughts and applied them to my life goals. Sonja doesn’t just hear me, she listens. She helps me be my best self.

A vision board laid out on a clean white table, covered with neatly arranged printed words like “clarity”, “balance”, “purpose”, and “wholeness” alongside serene landscape photos and simple geometric shapes in muted blues and soft neutrals. Smooth river stones and a single lit soy candle in a frosted glass holder add tactile and warm elements. Natural afternoon light streams in from the side, creating soft highlights on the glossy paper and gentle shadows from the stones. Shot from a slightly elevated angle with sharp focus on the central words and a subtle vignette around the edges. Photographic realism with a minimalist, professional aesthetic that feels hopeful, organized, and aligned with intentional life planning.

I have found Sonja to be an amazing coach who listens, nudges me towards my growing edges, and holds me accountable for my own best interests. She has also assisted me in tapping into the greater confidence within to do the work God has equipped and called me to do

A serene triad of objects representing body, mind, and spirit arranged on a smooth, pale stone surface: a pair of light hand weights with a matte finish, an open hardcover book with a ribbon bookmark, and a minimalist white ceramic bowl holding a single polished crystal and a sprig of eucalyptus. Behind them, a blurred background suggests a calm living room with neutral-toned textiles. Warm golden hour light enters from the left, creating gentle, elongated shadows and subtle highlights on the crystal facets and book pages. Photographic realism, shot from a low, intimate angle in rule-of-thirds composition. The atmosphere is grounded, reflective, and professional, symbolizing integrated life coaching that nurtures the whole self.

Tracy H.

Through her coaching, I’ve been able to communicate in a more productive manner with my leadership team. This is vital in order to continue to be a productive team able to lead and guide others.

A series of three transparent glass jars in ascending size order, partially filled with smooth, pale stones labeled with small, clean white tags reading “energy”, “focus”, and “joy”. They sit on a matte white shelf against a softly textured light gray wall. Natural daylight from the right creates gentle reflections on the glass and subtle shadows behind each jar, emphasizing their progression. Photographic realism with a straight-on, eye-level composition and sharp focus throughout for a clean, professional look. The mood is calm and methodical, suggesting how small, consistent actions in life coaching gradually fill different areas of life, supporting a sense of wholeness and balance.

Hope D.

I was overwhelmed and skeptical; within weeks, Sonja’s whole-person approach left me grounded, hopeful, and equipped with tools I still use daily.
