Sonia Jenkins is one of the coaches that we found this month and we did a little interview with her. She impressed us with her expertise and experience.
She is a former NHS Nurse Practitioner with 45 years of experience who transformed a personal health challenge into a mission to empower women. After being diagnosed with an autoimmune disease on her 41st birthday, she realized that conventional medicine often falls short in supporting long term vitality and well being. That awakening led her to become a Functional Medicine Certified Health Coach, where she now helps women over 40 reclaim their health from the inside out.
She brings together evidence based coaching and real world strategies to support high achieving women navigating the complexities of midlife. Her approach is rooted in the belief that “skills before pills” leads to sustainable change.
She stands out by integrating the wisdom of decades in traditional healthcare with the innovation of functional and lifestyle medicine. For her, coaching isn’t just about managing symptoms, it’s about addressing root causes, honoring individuality, and creating lasting transformation. Her clients don’t just feel better… they feel empowered to write a new story, one fueled by vitality, joy, and purpose. Here is what she said…
Meet Life Coach Sonia Jenkins:
Name: Sonia Jenkins
Pillar: The Body
Who is this coach for: Ambitious women over 40 who want to reclaim their well being and rewrite their story from a place of vitality and joy.
How they can help: By using her signiture 90 day program, “Live Beyond Limits: Reignite Your Vitality, Purpose and Joy”, as well as various tools and techniques customized to each client’s needs.
First of all, how are you and your family doing after these Pandemic times?
I am doing well.
However, I have noticed a shift in the “social health” of my wider family and friends.
How did the coronavirus pandemic affect your clients? Did it affect you at all?
During the pandemic, I continued working as a Nurse Practitioner in a busy General Practice, and the impact on patients was stark.
Broadly speaking, they fell into two camps:
Those who were terrified they had the virus and couldn’t understand why they were being advised to stay home, even after testing positive.
And those who were in complete denial that the virus even existed.
For my clients and patients alike, the pandemic heightened stress, uncertainty, and fear around health, making it even more critical to offer reassurance, clear communication, and safe, evidence based care.
Personally, I adapted by significantly ramping up my infection control measures, not only to protect my patients, but also to safeguard my own family from potential exposure.
The experience deepened my commitment to helping people build resilience and take ownership of their health, even amid chaos.
It reinforced the importance of simple, sustainable habits that protect both physical and emotional well being.
What are the biggest lessons that you learned in this pandemic?
Fear brings out the best and worst in individuals!
The Origin:
Tell us about you, your career, how you started with your coaching career?
I am a Functional Medicine Certified Health Coach and former NHS Nurse Practitioner with 45 years of service.
After witnessing the constraints of conventional medicine, I redefined my career to focus on a more holistic, empowering approach to health.
I believe that true well being isn’t found through prescriptions but by reclaiming energy, vitality, and purpose, especially for women navigating midlife changes.
What was your biggest obstacle that you had to overcome in your life that made you who you are today?
Being diagnosed with an autoimmune disease for my 41st birthday!
The Coaching Style:
How do you innovate with coaching your clients?
I innovate by blending evidence based coaching with deeply practical, real world strategies tailored for high achieving women over 40.
My approach challenges the outdated notion that reinvention means slowing down.
Instead, I help clients unlock their next level potential with clarity and confidence.
What sets me apart is how I integrate simplicity and science.
My signature 90 day program, “Live Beyond Limits: Reignite Your Vitality, Purpose and Joy”, is designed to create lasting transformation without adding to my clients’ already full plates.
The journey begins with The 7 Day Energy Reset, a unique, low effort ritual that gently releases stress and recalibrates energy, setting the tone for sustainable success.
By focusing on small, high impact shifts and layering in systems of support, my method empowers ambitious women to reclaim their well being and rewrite their story from a place of vitality and joy.
What’s unique about your coaching approach?
a) I have 45 years of NHS service to inform my health and wellness coaching.
b) I promote “Skills before Pills.”
c) Address the root cause and the symptoms will take care of themselves.
d) Lifestyle modification leads to a reduction in medication.
e) “One size fits no one.”
What benefits do your clients get after working with you?
I integrate the best of both traditional and complementary medicine to (CO)create a personalised, results driven coaching programme tailored to each client’s unique needs.
Do you use any specific tools to be efficient with your clients?
I bring a rich and diverse toolkit of skills, knowledge, and experience to support each client’s unique journey.
The Impact:
If you had a super megaphone that, when you speak into, the whole world will hear your message, what would you say?
You are not built to cope with stress 24/7!
What is the greatest lesson you have learned in your life?
Progression over perfection.
Your final thoughts?
You deserve to “thrive beyond limit.”
