Sonya started Adore Your Outdoors in 2019 when she left the corporate world behind to follow her heart. Now she lives her dream life: spending more time outdoors, making choices that serve humanity and the natural world alike, and building a legacy to leave behind. The aim of Adore Your Outdoors is to get more people outside to connect them to nature for health - the health of the planet and the health of humans. A deep nature connection is scientifically proven to result in improved health and happiness, a sense of purpose in life, a feeling of belonging to something bigger, as well as more pro-environmental behaviours.

Sonya overcame Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), is now able to put huge arachnids outside and has even fallen in love with winter! She says: "As I grew up, I recognised I felt most at ease in nature and the minute I knew I was going to be a Mum, I knew the best gift I could ever give my child was a love for all seasons. Yes, even winter."
