About Sonya Looney

I’m interested in the integration of high performance and well-being through positive psychology, contemplative practices, and sport. I’ve been able to explore topics like grit, mindset, self-worth, purpose, success, happiness, and healthy striving through my life journeys of becoming mountain bike World Champion, racing internationally, my Master’s in Applied Positive Psychology (in progress), getting my Master’s Degree in Electrical Engineering, moving to a new country, having children, and continuing to carve my own path in my business. I’m motivated by curiosity, love of learning, gratitude, and helping others.
