Influenced by the natural home remedies her great-grandmother used as an Herbalist and Midwife, Dr. Sonza’s journey as a Functional Medicine Practitioner started early. “It was during childhood summers spent with my grandmother where I first learned the healing properties of plants and herbs.

My passion was further ignited by the years I was raised in Germany and exposed to the wisdom of integrating natural medicine with the scientific foundation of western approaches. However, after earning my master’s degree as a Physician Assistant and practicing for a decade in America, it was my father’s death from a massive heart attack, my mother’s diagnosis with Multiple Myeloma (a form of cancer), my daughter’s diagnosis with Autoimmune Thyroiditis, and my own struggles with high blood pressure that I realized I was only managing chronic symptoms. I wanted to understand how to eradicate and prevent these problems from recurring.” As a result, Dr. Sonza earned her doctorate in Naturopathic Medicine and is certified

through the Institute of Functional Medicine.

“My ultimate goal is to practice quality medicine, which combines the best practices of my western training with Naturopathic Medicine, and results in total wellness. I truly believe each one of us has the innate wisdom to heal within. When our bodies are harmonized physically, emotionally, and spiritually, we heal faster and become healthier. That’s why I consider it a calling and a privilege to collaborate with patients to create healthier lifestyles and discover therapeutic solutions they can adopt beyond the doctor’s office.”
