Sonya Furlong

Sonya Furlong is a meditation teacher, life coach, therapist and certified trainer of NLP, Matrix Therapies and Hypnotherapy. She is the founder and owner of the Centre for Life Therapies in Balmain, Sydney, where she works with clients face to face and online. The Centre's website describes her as one of Australia's top-tier Master Trainers in Neuro-Linguistic Programming, and she is certified as both a trainer and coach/therapist with the NLP Association of Australia.

Sonya has been meditating since she was a teenager and has devoted her life to helping others through it. She is a strong advocate for what meditation can do in a person's life, helping people cope with the difficulties of being human. She also sings devotionally, and sees kirtan, the chanting of sacred mantras, as an uplifting and soothing way to bring meditation into daily life. At the Centre, her guided meditation sessions aim to settle the mind and body and bring focus and clarity.

Before this work, she won numerous awards as a television and film producer and built a career as an event manager. She then changed course, studying to become a yoga and meditation teacher, then a life coach, and went on to learn NLP and Matrix Therapies, a process she found life-changing. She now works with clients in personal coaching, leads the Business Unbound Success program and trains others in NLP and Matrix Therapies.

Her wider mission, through the Centre for Life Therapies Foundation, is to bring NLP tools to underprivileged Australian communities. She describes her aim as elevating global consciousness by 1%.
