About Myself

Sonja Ni’chelle, Founder and CEO of Purpose 2 Flourish, is dedicated to breaking intergenerational cycles of trauma through the integration of literacy, mental wellness, evidence-based science, and faith where applicable. With over two decades of experience spanning community outreach, corporate training, and educational leadership, Sonja has a proven track record of guiding underperforming teams to excellence, earning “Best in Class” recognition even during the challenging COVID-19 pandemic.

As a certified trauma-informed life coach and a survivor of complex trauma, Sonja’s leadership philosophy is deeply rooted in servant leadership, empathy, and innovation. She specializes in helping organizations implement trauma-informed practices and services, empowering them to create environments that foster resilience, emotional wellness, and economic vitality.

Driven by a belief that true transformation begins within the individual and radiates outward, Sonja works tirelessly to build community ecosystems where everyone has the opportunity to flourish. She also combines faith-based principles with evidence-based strategies to help individuals and communities overcome barriers, harness their strengths, and thrive in every aspect of life.
