Philosophy:
It is my job as a Parent, Doctor, Employer, and Teacher to strive to be the best version of myself in physical, mental, and emotional health. It is through this knowing that I can better serve the world through each patient I inspire.
Dr Sonya Jensen is a Mom of 2 boys, a business owner, a yoga teacher, a workshop leader and a Women’s Health Expert. After years of working closely with Women and their families her mission and purpose has become clear, to Inspire Women so they can live free and balanced lives.
She’s a graduate of British Columbia’s Simon Fraser University where she received a degree in Cell and Molecular Biology. Pulled in the direction of helping others since the age of 5, Dr. Sonya pursued Naturopathic Medicine after University to explore the body’s healing potential and learn how to share it with patients.
Her work with Women has taken her to places like Haiti where she assisted a group of Naturopathic doctor students with an organization called Mama Baby Haiti to provide maternal and pediatric health care at a birth centre in Mourne Rouge. This experience solidified for her that her passion lies in working with women and their families. She now runs monthly workshops for Women to support them in all aspects of life.
In 2009, Dr. Sonya and her husband Dr. Nicholas Jensen opened Divine Elements Naturopathic Family Wellness in the Kitsilano neighborhood of Vancouver, British Columbia where they help clients create lasting changes in their overall health and well-being for the entire family.

Philosophy:
The intelligence of the cell begins and ends at the level of the membrane. It’s our communication network to the organelles within the cell and to the trillions of other neighbours living in this system. It’s becoming increasingly important to address cellular health because of the rise in chronic conditions associated with chronic inflammation. Instead of just targeting inflammation, we need to ask the question of why it’s there. Instead of treating the process of inflammation we need to learn to stop it before it starts.
Whether aware of it or not, our bodies are constantly guiding us towards health. The symptoms we feel are a road map to understand the relationship we have with our lifestyle habits, our stressors, with the food we eat and our environment. It’s up to us as individuals to be proactive and listen to these signals so that we can create change before illness sets in.
