About the Teacher
Why study with them?
Earth Medicine Integration | Healing with Horses | Self-Mastery & Transformation
Originally from South Africa, Sonette Hill brings together a lifetime connection with horses, extensive personal experience with Earth medicines, and a deep understanding of what it means to rebuild your life from the inside out.
Before entering the healing space, Sonette spent more than two decades in the technology industry, founding and running a software localisation company and working internationally with major organizations. She was also a member of Entrepreneurs’ Organization (EO), living for many years in the fast-paced world of business, responsibility, family and entrepreneurship.
Her own search for healing eventually took her in a completely different direction.
After years of living with depression, trauma, PTSD and overwhelming stress, Sonette began exploring traditional Earth medicines and indigenous healing practices, including travelling to Peru to experience Shipibo traditions.
Her journey ultimately led to extensive personal work with iboga. Sonette has undertaken more than 30 full-depth iboga journeys and has subsequently spent hundreds of hours learning from, sitting with and supporting others through Earth medicine experiences and their integration.
For Sonette, this work is not theoretical. It comes from lived experience.
Horses have been another constant throughout her life. Growing up with horses gave Sonette an intuitive understanding of their sensitivity, honesty and extraordinary ability to reflect what is happening within a human being.
Today, she brings these two worlds together through Healing with Horses and Earth medicine integration.
Sonette is particularly passionate about supporting women who have lost themselves within difficult, controlling or narcissistic relationship dynamics. She understands how sensitive, compassionate and deeply empathetic women can repeatedly place the needs of others before their own, gradually losing their boundaries, confidence and sense of sovereignty.
Her work is not about teaching women to become harder.
It is about helping them become sovereign.
Through the wisdom of plants, the presence of horses, nature, integration and compassionate human connection, Sonette supports women in reconnecting with their intuition, recognizing unhealthy patterns, establishing boundaries and rediscovering their own voice.
Highly intuitive, sensitive and compassionate herself, Sonette believes that sensitivity can become an extraordinary strength when it is accompanied by self-awareness, discernment and strong boundaries.
Her philosophy is grounded in lived experience rather than promises of cures. She believes profound experiences with plants can open doors, but that lasting transformation requires integration, personal responsibility and learning how to live differently afterwards.
At Revela Retreats, Sonette supports guests through preparation, Earth medicine experiences, equine-assisted work and integration, bringing warmth, intuition and the perspective of someone who has personally travelled a long road from survival toward self-mastery.
Her work is ultimately about sovereignty: helping people reconnect with themselves, their bodies, their intuition and the natural world.
Plants can be teachers.
Horses can be mirrors.
But the journey is ultimately about remembering your own wisdom.
