Sonya Behan grew up in a small New England town and in a family where domestic violence were present weekly. As she worked through her childhood trauma of not being a witness to violence, but becoming a survivor of it as an adult, she realized she was not alone and that she had a deep reservoir of resilience and hope.
Throughout her life she has consistently dedicated herself to helping others. Beginning in high-school, she participated in a number of programs and services that provided support to other teens struggling with teen pregnancy, suicide, bullying and abuse in their homes. Always, wanting to turn the lessons she learned from her interpersonal challenges, to pay it forward.
For three decades she has been a Social Worker. She earned a Master’s degree in Clinical Social Work at Simmons College, is a certified Life Coach in Therapeutic Art and has over a decade of experience in Holistic Health and is Reiki Master Teacher.
Sonya has also been an Art Coordinator for two local Recreation Department for the past few years, designing several of the classes and this year designed and launched their first summer art camp program. She also, has taught art classes throughout the Milwaukee, WI area in an after-school program, as well as in Assisted Living and Memory Care units.
She is published author of the book: Meant To Dance and has been a guest speaker and group facilitator for a number of organizations to promote health and wellness, as well as helping others re-write their stories and reclaim the lives they have always wanted.
Throughout Sonya’s life it is clear to see that there have been three core pillars that have been her compass: Helping others, Art, and Writing.
They have been in every aspect of her life.
