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.

Sonia Houria

The woman behind the waves

Hi, I'm Sonia.

I'm a French-Tunisian woman, international lawyer by training, breathwork facilitator, mentor and endlessly curious student of what makes us human.

My work explores human behaviour, nervous system regulation, identity, resilience, culture and our relationship with the natural world.

I've lived across countries and cultures, built careers, experienced profound loss, survived a serious surfing injury and spent years learning to understand myself and the world around me.

Today, through the Houria Method, I help women understand themselves, build self-trust and develop the capacity to make meaningful changes in their lives.

When one woman reclaims her freedom, the ripple can travel far beyond her.

More about Sonia

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.

"You cannot think your way back to yourself. You have to feel your way home, gently, with the right guidance."

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.
