The LIVE JOY LIFE

Hello friend! I'm Sonya, a Physician Assistant in Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery who is blessed to walk alongside women facing the heavy weight of breast cancer and surgical recovery. My passion for true restoration comes from a deeply personal place: I’ve walked through my own battle with a chronic illness, learning firsthand how God can restore our bodies, calm our overwhelmed nervous systems, and even bring us joy. You don't have to navigate this healing journey alone. Join the family for encouragement, practical health insights, and hope for your journey.
