The  Sweetgum Collective

We’re excited to share our growing network of trusted practitioners whose work reflects the same care, presence, and integrity we strive to cultivate at Sweetgum Manor—from holistic wellness and sacred intimacy to somatic healing and creative transformation.

Each practitioner has either facilitated experiences at Sweetgum or worked closely with our community, and is selected for their expertise, integrity, and devotion to their craft.

Sonya Verma

Integrative Wellness Practitioner

Practiced for more than 5,000 years, Ayurveda is one of the world's oldest holistic healing systems, offering a sophisticated framework for understanding health, balance, and longevity. Through Ayurveda, yoga therapy, mindfulness, and therapeutic sound, Sonya helps clients address the root causes of imbalance and cultivate lasting wellbeing.


With advanced training in these disciplines, Sonya brings exceptional depth of expertise while making these time-honored practices approachable and relevant to modern life. Many members of our Sweetgum community have experienced her through our Deep Rest series and Ayurvedic workshops, and we're honored to recommend her to those seeking thoughtful, whole-person care.
