Surf Confidence
Confidence in the water starts within
Surfing is more than riding waves — it’s a path back to trust.
Trust in your body, your mind, your heart.
This is your space to rebuild your relationship with the ocean — and with yourself.
Confidence is a skill and a journey
“Confidence is the by-product of getting to know yourself intimately.”
What it can do for you
This coaching blends surf wisdom, nervous system tools, and emotional awareness to help you:
✔️ Reconnect with your body and breath — your foundation in the water
✔️ Understand and regulate fear as it arises, so it no longer runs the show
✔️ Move through mindset blocks, comparison, and inner criticism
✔️ Pinpoint the exact skills you need to grow your confidence and your surf
✔️ Uncover and rewire the deeper causes of anxiety and self-doubt
✔️ Build real confidence — not just in surf, but in how you show up
✔️ Feel strong, present, and joyful every time you paddle out
My Approach
This isn’t about pushing through or “just getting over it.”
We work gently but powerfully — using tools that cultivate nervous system safety, skill progression, and mental clarity & integrates surf coaching, PT & inner work tools.
Surf Confidence Coaching helps you understand your mind, body, breath, and emotions — so they become allies, not obstacles.
Each session leaves you more anchored in yourself, more attuned to the ocean, and more confident in your power.

Read the experience of Others before you
— Sylvia, Connecting the dots 5 ★
Learning more about myself and how my mind influences my body and breath, how my breath can help me regulate my mind and more importantly how to understand and use my emotions to my advantage has been a game changer! Sonia is full of knowledge and has a contagious zest for life which made me enjoy learning and laugh when I failed. She taught me to Fail Forward and to use mishaps as building blocks rather than let them be mental blocks. Super grateful for you Sonia!
— Dave, Surfing like I’m 20 again 5 ★
Over the weeks going to WMW’s events and surfing with Sonia, I have learnt so much about myself, built my confidence & motivation right up in the surf and I am surfing better and frothing as hard as when I was in my 20’s even after a heavy back injury!
FAQ's
Do I need to be “spiritual” to benefit from this work?
Not at all. This work is about reconnection — not belief systems. All that’s needed is a sense of curiosity and an openness to explore.
What’s the difference between a spiritual session and coaching or therapy?
Spiritual work engages your energetic and intuitive body. Unlike coaching or therapy, it often bypasses logic and dives directly into the felt sense, soul memory, or ancestral imprint. It complements therapy beautifully but doesn’t replace it.
Is this safe if I’ve experienced trauma?
Yes. In fact it may help you process it.
This space is trauma-aware and held with deep sensitivity. You’ll never be pushed — your pace, your body, and your boundaries are honoured completely. I use tools that regulate the nervous system and help you feel grounded throughout the process.
What happens in an Akashic Reading or Spiritual Journey?
Every session is unique. You’ll be guided into a meditative state where we access the Akashic Field or your spiritual body for insight, clarity, or healing. Often, messages come through in symbols, memories, or strong feelings. You’ll be supported before, during, and after.
I want to learn to manage my emotions, will shamanic breath help?
Shamanic Breath is a beautiful tool to process emotions and connect more deeply to yourself, which means it can help highlight the origin of your triggers. However emotional management is a skill that you must learn. If you would like to learn how to manage your emotions, join my coaching program where you will rediscover who you are in all aspects and learn to bring more supportive emotions and thoughts forward
What if I don’t feel anything?
We are all different and the way guidance shows up also varies.
That’s totally okay. Sometimes the most powerful shifts are subtle or take time to unfold. You don’t need to “feel” anything dramatic for the work to be integrating.
Trust that you will receive exactly what you need.
I come from a religious background — is this work in conflict with my beliefs?
Not at all. This work doesn’t replace or oppose religion — it deepens your connection to yourself and the Divine, in whatever way that exists for you. Many women I work with come from strong faith-based traditions (Islam, Christianity, Indigenous spiritualities) and find this work complements and deepens their beliefs rather than contradicts them.
Spiritual health is about personal connection, not dogma. You’re always in control of how deep you go and what you take with you.
Can this work be done with a partner or family member?
Yes — and it can be incredibly transformative. Sharing spiritual work as a couple or with family members can deepen understanding, dissolve long-held patterns, and open space for more loving, conscious connection.
Each person’s experience remains personal, but journeying together often strengthens compassion, communication, and trust. If this calls to you, I offer custom sessions or ceremonies to support relational healing and soul-level connection.
