    I consider myself blessed to have come across Sonia on my life path. Sonia is an amazing coach, so attentive, genuine, compassionate and she really wants the best for you. It’s evident the amount of work Sonia has done on herself and the amount of seminars she has attended because it just shines through in her work. My most powerful visualization (hypnotherapy) session in my life has been with Sonia. I opened my own holistic practice thanks to her. Thank you infinitely. I highly recommend. Only good can come from an interaction with Sonia. This work is so needed in this world.

    I can't recommend Sonia highly enough. She helped me a lot when I was having a really hard time. I discovered new things about myself, my personality, who I am with my insecurities, my defects and my virtues. She showed me how to control my emotions as well. Now I'm able to understand myself and the others a lot more too. Sonia helped me to clear up my mind and make very important decisions in every area of my life and the way I was living it. I feel very confident and I have a completely different vision of everything myself and the people who is around me. Thanks so much for all your support.

    I hired Sonia to take a group of 28 women on the Camino Trail. From start to finish, Sonia was incredible! Her communication through email was always timely. Her presentations to the group were thorough and professional. During the walk, many women had to reach out to her with questions. She answered them all within minutes and made last-minute changes with ease. Sonia's warm personality and extreme professionalism made this trip flawless for me. I highly recommend Sonia and will be using her again in the future!

Sonia brings a gentle down-to-earth approach to her craft; I grateful to have her as an Ally and I highly recommend you enlist her as such for your personal and professional questions. Thank you, Sonia!

    Sonia is amazing! She has helped me have the courage to follow my dreams and provides support to me when I am doubting myself on my next step. Her multicultural - multinational background has also been helpful as I am doing a career break in another country.

    Forest bathing with Sonia is something magical. There is nothing related with body bathing it's a pure forest bath for your soul. Your soul connects with the mother nature in a beautiful surroundings of stunning Japanese gardens. Try and you will not be disappointed

  • A woman with blonde hair smiling, wearing a denim jacket, posing in front of a classical sculpture with columns.

    My astrocartography session with Sonia Cruz Oro was insightful and very beneficial in explaining the relationship between astrology and geography, and how that applied to my specific astrological chart. She looked at many specific parts of the world where the planets and my chart aligned, where the energy was flowing and other locations that were more challenging. I now the best places to create retreats or travel for business versus where to travel for personal growth and enjoyment. Fascinating and helpful information.

    Barbara Edie

  • I had an astrocartography session with Sonia Cruz Oro from Travel Awakens and found it incredibly insightful. I came in looking for relocation clarity and left with powerful confirmation of what I’d already been intuitively feeling about certain locations. It was helpful not only to validate those instincts, but also to explore nearby areas that might be more practical for family considerations.

    My first time to experience your "awakening " in the Japanese Gardens Tramore The quietness of the early morning added to atmosphere. The sound of the birds and walking through the various pathways was a perfect place for mindfulness I look forward to attending the next one later this month Thank you Sonia

Her compassionate approach made the experience both enlightening and enjoyable.

  • Colorful paper umbrellas with floral and nature designs suspended in the sky.

    Sonia is very nice and knowledgeable. I had a wonderful 90 minutes with her talking about my birth chart and map. I would highly recommend booking a session with her

    Martie Smith

  • A woman taking a selfie on the beach, wearing a gray hoodie with the words 'DREAM CREATE INSPIRE' printed on it, looking up and smiling.

    Very well delivered, with meaningful and structured activities which also gave you the freedom to immerse yourself with nature in your own way. I particularly liked the method of collecting feedback with a stone. However, I would have liked if the facilitator had interacted with us before and after the session

    Derbhile Graham

  • Snow-capped mountain range at sunset with a pink and purple sky

    I had a beautiful experience attending a Forest Bathing session facilitated by Sonia in the Japanese Gardens in Tramore in May 2023. I went in a bit distracted, but through each exercise and invitation I progressively tuned in further to nature's intelligence and experienced a real connection & new perspectives on some life situations. I was able to take away the practices and have been using them since. Thanks so much.

    Gavin Timlin

  • Coastal scene with rocky cliffs covered in trees overlooking the ocean during sunset.

    I had an astrocartography session with Sonia. Beyond relocation, it was fascinating to learn about the different types of energy each location holds and how they might influence travel experiences. The session was eye-opening and offered a completely new lens for understanding place and purpose. Highly recommend for anyone exploring a move or curious about travel through the lens of astrocartography.
