Finding Peace, Purpose, and Passion through Christ
Meet Sonja
Hello, I'm Sonja Bratton—a farmer's wife, mother of two, Nana to four, and founder of Spiritual Makeover Retreats. My journey from feeling unloved in a broken family to finding fulfillment in God's love inspires my passion for guiding women to a deeper spiritual connection. Through the Sanctuary Prayer, I help others experience God's presence daily, becoming S.P.A. Fit—Spiritually, Physically, and Emotionally. Join me in discovering the joy and transformation that comes from a close relationship with Jesus Christ.
Embracing God's Love, Purpose, and Transformation
Everyone encourages us to spend time with God, but often we're left wondering how.

Testimonials
Sonja’s sanctuary prayer is soul-changing. Its step-by-step guide through prayer is easy to navigate, making my walk with the Lord each morning time manageable and desirable. I find space to meet with the Father for love, release of worry and stress, conviction, and answers I seek. To sit and dwell with the Lord is what He has called each of us to do. I can boldly say that I’m blessed to no longer walking through life mindlessly on my own, guessing if I’m aligned with God because of the tools the sanctuary prayer has given me.

I’m honored to be the very first guest on The Story Seat: Women Worth Hearing, where I had the opportunity to sit down with my dear friend of many years and share my personal journey of healing and redemption.In this candid conversation, I open up about my early life — a childhood shaped by fear and rejection — and the years I spent searching for love and acceptance in all the wrong places. But what the world couldn’t give, God did: through surrender, deep healing, and an intimate relationship with Him that transformed every part of my life.Today, it’s my passion to help other women find healing and wholeness through The Sanctuary Prayer and the S.P.A. Fit approach — becoming Spiritually, Physically, and Emotionally whole.In this interview, I share:
✅ How God delivered me from addiction and shame
✅ My experience parenting through seasons of crisis
✅ The breakthrough that transformed my marriage
✅ My heart for helping women walk in freedom and purpose
💬 “He became my Love, Husband, Friend, Father, Counselor and more.”I pray my story encourages and uplifts you — reminding you that no matter how broken things may seem, healing and hope are always possible through Him.
