Meet Tonya
Tonya is a resilient soul whose journey of healing inspires hope in others. Her path hasn't been easy - surviving profound childhood trauma and facing losses that would shake anyone's foundation, including the heartbreaking departure of her parents and siblings. While life's challenges, including two difficult marriages and moments of deep despair, once threatened to dim her light, Tonya's spirit refused to be extinguished. Through her unwavering faith in God and dedicated commitment to healing, she discovered an inner strength that transformed her from surviving to thriving.
As an Army Veteran and seasoned Financial Analyst with over 30 years of experience, Tonya understands the power of discipline and perseverance. Her life today is rich with purpose - whether she's cherishing moments with her two children and five grandchildren, expressing creativity through interior design, crafting handmade bath products and jewelry, or breathing new life into vintage furniture. Yet her greatest joy comes from serving others and helping them achieve their dreams.
Tonya lives by the scripture Matthew 5:16, 'Let your light shine before men that they may see your good works and glorify your Father which is in heaven.' This divine inspiration fuels her passion to transform her own story of survival into a beacon of hope for others, proving that our darkest chapters can lead to our most meaningful purpose.
