About Sonia
Hi! I’m Sonia – Principal Coach at Hallo River.
With over 21 years of experience across insurance, financial services, healthcare, and consulting, I’ve led HR teams, coached executives, and guided organizations through
change and growth. Born and raised in Toronto, I bring a practical, people-first approach to everything I do - focused on building inclusive workplaces where people and businesses can thrive.
I coach senior leaders, emerging leaders, and high potential professionals. I specialize in leadership development, career growth, executive presence, emotional intelligence, and confidence building - helping individuals show up with confidence, lead with purpose, and navigate what comes next. I also coach HR professionals because those who support others deserve support too.
Outside of work, I’m a big believer in balance. I love to travel, spend time with my family, and prioritize my own health and wellness - practices that keep me grounded and energized in both life and work.
Let’s connect. I’d love to support your growth or help your business thrive.
