With full hearts, we’re overjoyed to share the arrival of our beautiful daughter, Nova Wren Murray ✨

Born in the glow of the morning sun, her gentle spirit has already filled our world with so much peace, wonder, and love.

We’re honoring this sacred postpartum time by slowing down, staying close, and letting ourselves be fully wrapped in the rhythm of newborn days.

I have to practice what I preach after all. 🫶🏼

You may see only a few photos here for now, as we’ve chosen to disconnect a bit… to nourish, rest, and be present in this tender transition.

Thank you for your love, support, and grace as I take this time to nurture our growing family.

With love and gratitude,
Dr Sonja + family 🤍

How I Keep My Superfood Shake Routine Going All Winter ❄️

Winter might be all about warm drinks and comfort foods, but I’m still sipping on my daily superfood shake—even when the temps drop! Here’s how I keep it warming, nourishing, and digestion-friendly in the colder months:

✧ Add Warming Spices
Cold and raw foods can be harder on our digestion in winter, so I sprinkle in warming spices like dried ginger and cinnamon.

✧ A Splash of Citrus
A little orange juice or lemon juice brightens up the flavor and provides a dose of Vitamin C! Bonus: citrus helps support your adrenal glands, keeping you energized and resilient through winter.

This combo keeps my digestion happy and my energy balanced, while still letting me enjoy the nutrient-packed goodness of regeneratively grown foods.

🌱 Head to my shop page to get some of the best sourced superfoods!

What’s your favorite way to winterize your smoothies or shakes? Let me know in the comments! 💬
