You are here because
You can't switch off, habibti.
Your mind keeps running the to-do list. You keep repeating the same situations. You have been paying attention to everyone else for so long that you don't remember what you want, or who you are.
You are afraid your voice doesn't matter. You are afraid you are too much. You are afraid that if you start crying, you will never stop. You work hard because you want more for yourself, and you are also trying to prove something.
You know there is more. And it can be achieved with a life that feels calmer, more joyful, less painful. You long for it.
Where calm actually lives
Calm lives in your body.
You can use your breath as a switch. It keeps your nervous system in survival, or it brings you home.
In this course we bring your body, your emotions and your breath into the same conversation. Your emotions drive your nervous system, so we work with both. And we look at your inner and outer environment, because breath is one doorway among several.
You learn to listen to what your body has been telling you, and to stay with yourself when feelings rise, instead of leaving yourself to keep everyone else comfortable.
Where modern science meets ancestral wisdom.
Every breath is a chance to come home.
The layer rarely named
For the woman carrying more than her own story.
If you carry stories from another land while learning to belong here. If you hold family, culture, language. If you carry your mother's resilience and her silence at the same time. The weight of being a woman between worlds.
If that is you, you can leave the explaining and the code switching at the door. It is already understood. I named this work after my grandmother Houria because she knew this tension too: to be free, and to belong.
You can break cycles and keep connection. You can honour where you come from and still choose a different way to live.
If you're thinking "Nothing has worked, this probably won't either. I've tried everything."

★★★★★
"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."
Veronica
A question I hear often
"Isn't asking me to regulate just another form of gaslighting?"
If you live inside systems that keep you on edge, being told to breathe can feel like being told the problem is you.
I hear you, and I agree the system is a root. For so many women, chronic stress is systemic: the oppression, the impossible expectations, the weight carried across generations.
Here is what I have learnt. A baseline of regulation is what lets you keep standing up to those systems without burning out. It is capacity, not compliance.
Systems are built by people rooted in fear. They change when enough of us become rooted in peace.
Regulation is how you stay in the fight for the long run, and how you choose your battles from strength.
Inside the course
Your 4 weeks
Your pace, always honoured. Every tool is optional and respects your goals, beliefs and lived experience.
Week 1
Safety in the body
You understand your nervous system and know where you're starting from.
Week 2
Breath as anchor
You have breath tools for anxious moments, for sleep and to create a space to get better acquainted with your mind.
Week 3
Emotions and resilience
You can stay with big feelings and come back to calm. That opens the door to processing.
Week 4
Vision and integration
You leave with a daily rhythm that fits you, and clarity on what's next.
What women say
Less reactive, more grounded.
Sonia is a Ray of sunshine and the safe space she creates for everyone is beautiful. I really notice a difference with mental clarity, sleep and creativity. I feel more connected to myself.
Natalie
Despite years of emotional healing, my body was still in flight. This is the first breathwork my body is actually responding to.
Libbee
I now feel lighter and at peace with my past. Those negative memories still come, but now I let them float by like a cloud.
Gillian
Sonia taught us simples practices that help me pause before reacting. I am less reactive, more calm and grounded. Thank you Sonia
Julie
There is still so much more to learn, it starts with ourselves. I have learned empowerment through self-compassion. I am so grateful, as it has a rippling effect.
Lauren
I never realised how scattered and heavy my mind was. This helps me reign it in. I feel a lot calmer.
Sandra
Your guide
Meet Sonia Houria
I'm the founder of Women Make Waves, a breathwork facilitator, Apnea Survival instructor, keynote speaker, and a former international lawyer.
I grew up between France, Tunisia and Algeria, so I know what it is to feel like the odd one out and to wonder how to belong.
Growing up I was taught to prove my worth with achievements and to carry more than I should have. This led me to become an overachiever that depletes herself to make others around her comfortable and happy, to show that I matter. But it also cost me my physical and mental health.
I learnt to regulate my own nervous system, process deep seated emotions and change old patterns despite or maybe thanks to grief, injuries and starting over in a new country.
I had to learn to rebuild myself and to learn to feel safe, joyful and brave enough to chase my dreams with calm and excitement. And I want to help you rebuild yourself too.
Now I teach women to feel safe in their bodies, with the science of breath, the wisdom of emotions, the power of the mind, the lessons learnt regulating in big waves and the knowledge of our ancestors put in us.

Questions
What if I can't make the live sessions?
Every session is recorded and added to your vault, so you can watch in your own time. Live is a bonus, and the course works either way.

Sessions run on Saturdays at 8am Sydney time. Wherever you are in the world, the recordings are there for you the same day.
How much time do I need each day?
10 to 15 minutes of practice a day, plus the weekly hour. Small and consistent works better than long and occasional.
I've tried breathwork before. How is this different?
This is breath retraining: changing your everyday breathing pattern so calm becomes your baseline. We also work with your emotions and environment, so the change lasts.
Do I need any experience?
None at all. We start from the basics in week 1.
How long do I keep access?
You keep the recordings and the vault of practices for 3 months from your start date, and your workbook is yours to keep.
