Meet Our Founder 

 

Spirit2Spirit was founded by Sonia Jorgensen, a Masters-prepared RN with over 20 years of leadership experience. Her career has focused on systems-level leadership in healthcare, where she built dynamic, collaborative teams capable of thriving in high-pressure environments.

Driven by her passion for leadership development, she created the Learning to Lead program, a unique, two-day experience that combines foundational leadership principles with real-time feedback from equine partners. This approach helps participants understand their leadership styles, manage their energy, and apply practical tools to their roles—no matter their field or experience level.

When she’s not facilitating leadership programs, Sonia is dedicated to creating an environment where participants can reconnect with themselves and their teams through the transformative power of nature and and horse. Sonia has been recognized for her achievements in developing strong teams and leading complex healthcare systems at University of Washington, Providence Regional Medical Centers, Skagit Regional Health, and others.

She has also built a reputation of meeting individuals where they are and providing a map of the future which fits their definition of success. Sonia is currently a certified senior facilitator with TeachingHorse LLC where she’s working with CalPoly Pomona and Stanford University to develop curriculum which provides key life skills and highlights the need for community and belonging in our young leaders who are entering the workforce.

    “Sonia's leadership retreat was amazing. I gained so much insight into myself and how I show up in the world. Her approach to teaching was clear, concise, and memorable. She provided space for listening, learning, reflecting, and putting the concepts into practice with the horses in a way that brings the teachings to life like no other experience....I can't wait to come back for more!”

    “If you have ever wanted to work on your leadership skills, this is the one! No conference room with 50 plus people listening to a lecture. You are part of a small group that gets to engage with your facilitator and learn from beautiful horses. I got more out of this event than any other leadership training I ever went to!”

    “I learned so very much about myself and how my energy can and will be interpreted by everyone in my surroundings. The tools that I have learned are applicable to work, home, and everyday interaction with life. Totally out of my element and learned how to deal with fear, anxiety, self-doubt and indecisiveness. Recommended for all who are willing to grow and expand their existence. ”
