Hey there, if you are exploring this website, you most likely are struggling with confidence and find yourself often anxious, overthinking, doubting. Maybe you even feel lost and can’t quite find the clarity you need to get to the next step of your life.
This can be very scary, but fortunately you don’t have to figure out on your own.
Hi! My name is Sonia and I am just like you. I too had those moments of despair; I’ve fallen into deep depression and fought fear and anxiety after some seriously scary life events. From losing my mum at 21 and becoming my 3 brothers’ guardian, to moving to the other side of the world on my own, and breaking my back in the surf – just to name a few fun events!
And as I explored all of it, as I made my way back to well being, as I pushed through the darkness and got to the other side, I learnt a lot. From others, from myself and from the Spiritual realms. I created effective methods, gathered science based tools, and I am so grateful I was able to help 100s of women remember their true power, remember who they are, become unshakably confident!
So if you are looking for solutions, I have good news for you!
What I have learnt mostly is that no matter how hard the challenge you are facing, there are ways to go through faster and with grace. What I mean by that is, you can find the goodness in the worst of situations and use it to propel you forward. I have seen it times and times again, and this is why I have created the Houria Method.
Houria is my middle name and it means Free Woman. Because this is how I lead my life and it is what I want to bring to you: tools that work and that allow you to free yourself from your blocks, detrimental patterns and beliefs and to use your mind, emotions and body as super powers instead of letting them be hurdles.
I’ve got you! You are in good hands with me and I aim to help you connect the dots and hold your hand throughout the process.
What makes me qualified to help you, you might ask!
I am a holistic confidence coach, a facilitator, a spiritual guide and a breath expert who has worked with 100s of women and men to bring back their excitement for life and the willingness to show up
freely and confidently as who they are. Founder of Women Makes Waves, I created WMW signature Shamanic Breathwork, a powerful modality allowing you to connect to soul level realms and bring healing in this realm for you mind, emotions and body. I facilitate Ocean retreats and workshops.
I am also the only certified Survival Apnea instructor down the south coast of NSW and one of the very few females to teach Surf Apnea and Breath FX: breath to overcome fear, push your physical limits, understand the physiology of the mind games under pressure and learn to use your breath for overall wellbeing in your day to day life.
I mix all this knowledge with the tools I have created along my journey and keep up to date with the latest scientific findings on mindfulness, mind/emotion/body connection, and really all that will serve my clients and myself.
