Healthy Thyroid Center

Sonya is a con artist. I went to Sonya in 2014 for a thyroid condition that regular doctors seemed to not have an answer for (Hashimoto’s and hypothyroid). She seemed great at first but what I notice now, was that she saw how desperate I was to feel better and took advantage of me.
My real issue began when after my three-​month program was up she thought I needed more work. I was still in pain and she felt I should get some more supplements to help. During my meeting with her there was no mention of cost and what supplements were needed. I left thinking I was going to get one or two new pills to add to the thirty I had already had from her. To my surprise, I got an email the next morning with a $ 2,500 receipt charged to my credit card. I immediately called and emailed her (she did not answer her phone) and explained to her that I could not afford $ 2,500 at that time and did not want all those new pills. She said «its too late, I can not cancel the order». Which shocked me for two reasons. 1) You do not charge a customer without first telling them how much the service or item costs 2) Why could she not cancel the order when it was placed only mins before I emailed. The ending to this only gets a lot worse.
I went back and forth with her explaining that I just didn’t have the funds for this and her explanations was that it was nothing because she ignored all calls and emails after that. It even came down to me saying «I have to refuse the package of supplements and if you refuse then I need to contact my credit card company». She showed up to my apartment a day later and tried to shove about 100 bottles of pills down my mailbox shoot. She only stopped because my neighbor saw her and thought it was odd that someone was putting pills in our mailbox. At this point I called her and again no answer.
The next day I get a message from Sonya– the exact words. «Attached is the refund agreement based on your exact instructions of what you insist to return. Please read over the agreement carefully. My office will be available to receive the supplements on June 2^nd, between 9am and 12 am, if this time does not suit you, please give an alternative on Monday through Friday of the same week. Your lab and follow up appointment on June 9^th at 11 am have been canceled.»
As agreed on by us both I would send back the supplements when I came back from my honeymoon. It was 12:15 in the afternoon 10 days later and I went to her office that I had always been at in the Outer Richmond. She had MOVED her office and didn’t tell me. So I emailed and she said «you must not of read my email correctly.». In her email attachment which was a contract only covering her butt there was a spot written in tiny font with her new address. Now, as someone that was seeing her for 3 months wouldn’t you think she would of mentioned changing offices? So here I am at her old office, which was her apartment and there is no sign of her. She also stated on her note that she was available from 9 am to 12 am. EVERYONE that’s not an idiot know that 12 am is MIDNIGHT. Well, according to Sonya 12 am is the afternoon which she stated in emails back and forth. She said I voided the agreement and now she won’t take the supplements back. I then go to her new office and knock on the door for 30 mins. I see her in the back and she turns off the lights. No joke. I even took a picture of me standing at her door at the time she stated she would be there.
So, I take the 100 bottles of pills and my credit card company reverses the charges. They even stated that when contacting her she was extremely odd and didn’t make sense.
The reason I am writing this now is because after this whole time I still have those pills and the other day I looked at the bottom on them and they all expired in 2013!!! I saw her in 2014. This psycho sold me expired pills! (FIY * I am looking at the pills with expiration dates and not manufactured dates).
So please please please make sure you look at the supplements she gives you and the receipts and then go find yourself another REAL holistic specialist.

I have been meaning to write about my experiences for a while. I did the 3 month program and it truly changed my life. Here is an excerpt from an email I sent Sonya a little while ago, I think it will give you a sense of what you can accomplish while working with such a thoughtful and knowledgable person.
«I also wanted to take a moment to appreciate you and your guidance. So many people have commented on the way I look, and in some cases how I act. Mostly, I have been offered a glimpse into how good I can feel (and knowing that with more time and finer tuning and more exercise I’ll feel even better). I understand more about what foods truly harm my body and which help nourish it. Patterns have been shifted. My mind is clearer and my moods more stable. And my skin so much smoother! For all this I am deeply grateful. I look forward to continuing receiving your guidance for optimal health even after this 3 month program has ended.»

I’ve had an eight session of neural bodywork with Sonya White and have had an excellent experience. She is a very intuitive and gentle healer, you feel it immediately while being in her presence, and it takes a while due to the nature of this healing but consistency is worth it.
Before coming here, I didn’t know anything about NM (here is a good link for info)
It is a gentle yet powerful process that helps your body find its ‘freedom’. Sonya is a wonderful ‘guide’ for your nerves and I can’t speak highly enough about her! I had some neuropathy in feet and hands that totally disappeared after over year with it due to pregnancy. She is located in a clean and comfortable setting either with others (I had another woman in the room so the price goes down) and that was absolutely fine, quiet and just as relaxing. I would recommend Sonya to anyone with neural or other body ailments.

For years I have had chronic back, hip, and leg pain. I have seen many physical therapists, chiropractors, massage therapist, and other doctors. My pain only got worse through the years. The problems were job related, from overuse of my body.
I went to Sonya, not knowing what to expect. After one session I felt a little relief, and after the second session, felt like I was issued a body that I had 20 years ago. I did not know how twisted and unbalanced my body was. Sonya is very gentle with her touch. The results are amazing. I keep waiting for my body to go back to being off balance, but it is slowly getting better week by week.

I am so grateful for Sonya’s heart and wisdom. I have seen Sonya over the past few years on a casual basis. Last April, I sought her out to work with me in changing my lifestyle, eating habits and relationship to my physical body. Our work together has palpably changed my life. It is wonderful that I’ve lost 30 pounds. But that is just a tiny piece of the puzzle. Sonya has helped me to peel away layers of defensiveness and resentment. I now have a much deeper and more intuitive relationship with my body. Sonya and I worked together on nutrition and healthy eating habits; these sessions were complemented with brain gym and cranio-​sacral sessions. The combination of the two allowed me to get through the emotional trauma and baggage i needed to navigate in order to allow myself to lead a healthy lifestyle. i am tremendously grateful to Sonya for the way she has helped me to change my life.

Where do other CranioSacral Therapists go for CranioSacral sessions? I pick Sonya! She is a super dedicated CST therapist. She is knows her stuff, is intuitive, warm, caring, supportive and has great hands. I refer my people to when I am unable to see them as I know they will be taken care of. So while most people will not write reviews for their competition, Sonya has earned it.

I’ve had a couple of cranio-​sacral therapy and brain gym sessions with Sonya. Both times there was a specific goal to be addressed during the session. Each session catered to that particular goal and therefore was very different. I came away each time with a sense that some long-​term issues had been dealt with in a very deep way. Sonya creates a warm and nurturing environment where you feel safe and cared for.
I haven’t had a nutritional session from Sonya, but she described in detail what her nutritional process is like. If I know of someone who has Hashimoto’s or is in need of nutritional counseling, I would not hesitate to recommend her.

Before seeing Sonya, I had already been to different doctors complaining of extreme fatigue. I also had recurring stomach pain through the years. A few times it got so bad, I had to go the emergency room.
None of the doctors I consulted were ever able to diagnose my problem correctly. Especially the fatigue was dismissed as stress or depression. Just before seeing Sonya, I couldn’t get out of bed for literally a week and when I went to the doctor, he told me I should go out and date more!
Well, I finally reached out to Sonya, following a friend’s recommendation. She made me fill out a questionnaire and met with me in person to ask me more questions. At our first visit she suggested I might have a gluten allergy. That was it. It turns out I am probably celiac (I never took the test) and after one month of being off gluten, my life changed 180 degrees. No more stomach pain and no more fatigue. I have now been completely off gluten and following Sonya’s nutritional advice for over one year and everybody asks me how I have this much energy! I wish I had seen her 15 years ago.
Sonya just LISTENED to my story, remaining open to different possibilities and with the belief that things could get better.
I highly recommend her services.

I had Cranio-​sacral therapy and brain gym session with Sonya and can’t wait to go back. She is very knowledgeable and she has a very kind and thoughtful personality. I hear about so many people with Hashimoto’s, I certainly would try her natural treatment approach. If you forget the brain gym exercises, they are on her website so you can practice between sessions.

Sonya White is a very skilled practitionner with a great intuition and confidence in her Art. Throughout the session, I recognized that I was in the hands of a true healer with much experience and a genuine passion for what she does.
I really look forward to continuing evolving with Sonya’s gentle guidance!
