Who we are

Light-In-Up is a mental health and wellness company created by Sonya White Powell, author of The Story of Enlightenment and holder of dual master’s degrees from Columbia University in Organizational Psychology and Spiritual Mind and Body studies. Over the years, Sonya developed the Story of Enlightenment Tool, a simple yet powerful method included with her book that helps individuals focus on the light in their lives.

In a time when depression, sadness, and other dark emotions are at epidemic levels, Sonya’s mission has become even more vital. Having personally experienced profound loss with the passing of her husband, she brings deep compassion and understanding to her work. Light-In-Up believes that cultivating inner peace within each individual is the key to creating lasting world peace. From one-on-one guidance to corporate programs, the company is dedicated to spreading light—from the smallest individual to the largest organization—helping people everywhere reclaim hope, clarity, and light.
