"The workshops and retreats with Sonia are very didactic, entertaining and dynamic. I have learned to use medicinal plants and make my own skin and health care products in ways I never imagined. She has a lot of knowledge and makes it possible for us to understand the most complex concepts clearly and simply, so that we learn to use plants and connect with our bodies in practical and safe ways."
