Bringing this work to your team

Sonia speaks at conferences and corporate events on safety as a strategy, nervous system intelligence for leaders, and what indigenous wisdom teaches modern organisations, communities, and those shaping a more human way of living and leading.

Sound familiar?

"I don't know who I am anymore."

"I don't know why I'm so anxious. I can't switch off." I hear this every week. I used to say it too.

It rarely comes from one place. Here is how it can show up:

Your mind

You can't switch off

Racing thoughts at 2am. Or the opposite: you put things off, then judge yourself for not doing them.

Your body

You're running on empty

Tension, a tight chest, shallow breath. Or you're so exhausted that even small things feel heavy.

Your heart

You're so easily triggered

Your emotions feel erratic and run the show. Or you keep busy so you don't have to feel at all.

Your spirit

You've stopped dreaming

You feel lost, like you've disappeared somewhere along the way, and you don't dare want what you want anymore and you've lost your intuition.

And around you: work that drains you, a home that doesn't feel like yours, systems that weren't built for you and keep you small, or the feeling that you don't quite belong where you are.

Healing is not about becoming someone new.It is about coming home.

If you've tried to fix it before, it often doesn't work because most approaches focus on part of you, usually your mind with mindset tips, and your body with nervous system regulation. They miss the root causes, and the reason why you get so anxious, down or overwhelmed.

You are not just a bunch of pieces, you are a natural being in a set environment. So we look at your whole inner world, mind, body, heart and spirit, and at the environment around you. And breath is what links it all.

Science calls it nervous system regulation. Ancestry calls it remembering. At Women Make Waves, we bring them together, with practices rooted in neuroscience and held by the wisdom that came before us.

The answer is in doing less, not more.

About Sonia

Hi, I'm Sonia.

French-Tunisian, with over a decade in Australia, former international lawyer, breathwork facilitator and creator of the Houria Method, reconnecting to my Amazigh roots. I'm proof of what regulation and inner work make possible: the energy to leap, to make the changes and do the things true to you, and to feel the joy while you do them.

For years I lived in functional freeze: successful on paper, exhausted in my body, unable to start what mattered most.

My work weaves nervous system science, body-based practices and ancestral wisdom into practices to live. Gentle, repeatable, rooted. Women Make Waves is a return to the body that holds your story, so you can move forward without abandoning yourself.

I created it for women who look like they have it together but feel like they are running on fumes. High functioning and deeply depleted.

When one woman heals, the ripple is felt everywhere.

This work is about remembering how to feel safe in your own body again, so you can create from steadiness, not survival.

More about me

What women are saying

Small shifts. Real life.

One of the things that it really brought to me was a sense of peace. That is something I have never experienced in my life before.

Despite years of emotional healing, my body was still in flight. This is the first breathwork my body is actually responding to.

Sonia holds a safer space than any therapist I have worked with and she brings results fast.
