Sonya D’s inspiration to captivate the nation with her larger than life, raw approach to the Health and Wellness Industry was ignited when she encountered a near death experience in 2000. Focused and driven towards her childhood dreams of becoming an exceptional athlete. Sonya achieved the pinnacle by becoming a professional basketball player. As a pro-athlete who has overcome many injuries, Sonya was headed for her 8th knee surgery unalarmed and unaware of what was to come. A week following the surgery Sonya was not recovering as she had with past procedures. What was discovered next would change her life and passion forever, Pulmonary Embolisms. Blood clots were found on her lungs and heart and the doctor insisted that all family members be notified to be at her side as the prognosis of patients surviving this condition was extremely rare.
