Dive Within.
Master Fear.
Step Into Your Power.
Through breath, inner work, and ocean-inspired practices, Women Make Waves helps women build self-trust, move through fear, and reconnect with their inner power—so they can be unshakably confident in life and in the surf.
Where Can You Start?
You don’t need to have it all figured out. You just need to start where you are.
Your starting point is personal. The key is finding the bridge that feels safest to step onto first, and we’ll meet you there.
Whether you’re struggling with fear in life or in the surf, feeling stuck in levelling up, emotional overwhelm, or a quiet sense that your spirit’s been disconnected — there’s a way forward. One that honours your body, mind, emotions, and spirit (4 bodies).
Fear and stress don’t have to control you. Anxiety, depression, fight-or-flight don’t have to be your default mode. Learning how to work with your 4 bodies is a core part of our approach, in and out of the water.
The truth? It’s all connected. When your inner world shifts, everything else follows — from how you breathe and move, to how you show up in the sea, in life, and in leadership.
Don’t stay on autopilot in a car that’s driving straight to the wall—when you can learn to take the wheel, steer with confidence, and actually enjoy the ride.

I went in expecting to feel connected and emotional. What I did not expect was the deep spiritual journey of healing my body and mind decided to be taken on. This felt like a beautifully safe space which Sonia held with such kindness and compassion.
Sonia brings genuine care and a zest for serving whichever needs arise. She is present, knowledgeable and calmy confident.
Her gentle guidance allows you to experience whatever you are ready for.
Breathwork truly has been one of the most profound experiences of my life.
Sonia's coaching is like nothing I have experienced before. She offers the safest of spaces and patiently distils her wisdom while getting you to see things from a different standpoint. Always with love and absolute fairness, while helping you believe in yourself. She helped me navigate my emotions, and see where the blocks were while empowering me to take full responsibility for what I want, and giving me all the tools I need to make that happen. In a short amount of time, I managed to get back on track with my dream life, which I am now fully leading with my head high. I went from being afraid of taking steps or even admit to myself what I wanted, to not only wording it but manifesting every single aspect. Sonia is knowledgeable, intuitive, and has many fidderent tools in her arsenal which help you tackle a problem or goal from all sides: body, mind, emotions and soul. I am so blessed to have been able to work with Sonia, she has taught me tools that I will continue to use throughout my life.
As a novice surfer, I had a mental block where every time I was held under, paddling out or at the end of a wave, I would freak out. Even if it was only just for 1 or 2 seconds!
The Surf Apnea training helped me to get past that block by teaching me breath control practices I can use to both give me more stamina and calm my mind and body.
After doing the training I have gained so much more confidence in the water which means I can tackle bigger waves, I know I can get through the break when the monster set comes which means I am getting more waves and therefore improving overall surf skills so much faster.
Sonia is a knowledgeable teacher, a compassionate coach and a nurturing soul which all made for a great learning experience.
