SONIA FUNK BIOGRAPHY

Sonia Funk is an employee wellness analyst & strategist, corporate keynote speaker and nutritional therapist, with over 15 years of international experience in the wellness industry. Sonia Funk understands that employees are overwhelmed with their own day-to-day lives as it is and that it can become a challenge to keep up with personal and professional lives while maintaining health.

Sonia Funk has traveled the world as both a student and a teacher. Her superpowers include outrageous common sense and a willingness to ask hard questions, which allow for easier answers. Her questions cut through all the misinformation, fads, and clichés around wellness and mental health. Sonia Funk gives her audience the courage to find a better question that can help them understand the real reasons why they are struggling. With this awareness and the tools she provides, real change for well-being becomes possible.

Sonia Funk is a regular consultant, facilitator, and regular guest on radio talk shows and podcasts. Her unique collaborative healthcare events in her community, and her partnership with the local Co-op Grocery stores, have seen her in the media regularly. Over the years Sonia Funk naturally evolved into a corporate speaker, keynoting the City of Morden’s Mental Health Week in 2019 and speaking on brain health and nutritional psychiatry at Manitoba Safety Service’s conference in early 2020.

Her genius lies in her insightful and strategic telling of the human story behind the issue at hand. Sonia Funk understands that your employees are overwhelmed with their day-to-day lives as it is. They are not interested in feel-good challenges for their nutrition, walking, or drinking more water, which has only about a 10% participation rate. Sonia Funk also knows that a one-time “lunch-and-learn,” which doesn’t offer employees a perception shift nor immediately usable tools, doesn’t even get in the first ear anymore.

Sonia Funk is a heart-centered and funny professional who always brings the big picture to the table. Effortlessly flooding the room with the feeling of empathy and non-judgment, Sonia Funk invites a perception shift in the participants. To her, this is the fundamental first step to lifting the apathy and fear that keeps people stuck. Her presentations are psychologically crafted in a way that allows her to effectively communicate life-changing information and awareness. Her experience as an effective coach and therapist translates into her ability to relay useful tools and tips, that are relevant to everyone.

Sonia Funk provides employees powerful insights into the ‘Why’ and ‘How’ of improving all aspects of their nutrition and well-being. Combining keen observational skills with an unusual and uplifting common sense, Sonia Funk has an extraordinary talent for identifying and explaining the root causes of productivity-draining ailments such as fatigue, digestive issues, chronic illness, stress, anxiety, and depression. What’s more? Her approach is heart-centered and her calls to action are full of empathy and realism.
