My name is Sonia Choquette, and I have been an intuitive coach, guide, and spiritual mentor for most of my life. From the time I was a teenager, I have helped lift people up, show them the way out of problems, and guide them toward solutions. It’s been my gift, passion, and purpose to do this for others; and over the course of 35 years, I’ve had the honor of serving tens of thousands of people through one-on-one consultations, workshops, my website, and more than 20 books.
Drawing from my own life challenges, and the benefit of having masterful mentors from an early age, I’ve sharpened my five senses to a high degree and also awakened my sixth sense, which has served me well. Whether teaching or coaching, I am guided by intuition as well as my own past experiences. I don’t draw from theory, but rather from what I’ve learned in the trenches.
I have traveled the world over sharing tools and techniques to help others overcome obstacles, heal heartache, find their passion, activate and follow their intuition, and succeed in their goals. And I have loved every minute of it, feeling profoundly grateful for the blessing of being able to be of service in a way that is so fulfilling and satisfying to me.
I’ve never allowed a thing to stop me, slow me down, get in my way, or trap me in a corner—and have taught others to do the same—fearlessly meeting life head-on rather than running away or letting it overwhelm me. That is, until suddenly, in the course of six weeks, both my father and brother unexpectedly died … and my life fell apart. All that I thought I had risen above, outsmarted, or refused to be bothered by came crashing down on me at once; and I was buried alive in an avalanche of sorrow, grief, and pain.
None of the tools I had used in the past helped me to feel better or find my ground.
Overcome with shame and a sense of personal failure, I found I could no longer teach or counsel others. Instead, I had to return to the state of novitiate—to confront all of the unhappiness and pain I thought I’d left behind and relearn from scratch the fundamental lessons of humility and compassion. I was able to achieve this through the practice of pilgrimage—specifically, by walking the Camino de Santiago, a more than 800-kilometer (500-mile) trek over the Pyrenees and across northern Spain. It was only through this process of sacrifice and self-abnegation that I was able to reconnect with my authentic self and recover a sense of inner peace.
Here is my story.
