About Sonia – EFT Practitioner & Confidence Coach

Meet Sonia! She helps women survivors of emotional neglect and abuse transform their anxiety, fear, and self-doubt into confidence, self-worth, and trust.

For most of my adult life, my life looked great.

I had meaningful work in the nonprofit and humanitarian world. From the outside, everything looked like it was working.

Behind the scenes, my marriage was slowly unraveling. I had normalized walking on eggshells. My confidence had eroded in ways I didn’t fully see at the time. I felt anxious, emotionally exhausted, and smaller than I wanted to admit.

But I kept functioning, kept pushing. And inside, I felt disconnected from myself.

I found EFT Tapping during one of the hardest seasons of my life. I was desperate enough to try almost anything, and to be honest, I didn’t expect much. But what I noticed surprised me. While I was tapping, I felt different. Like something was starting to shift.

That small shift was enough.

I began studying Emotional Freedom Techniques and working with my own practitioner. As I did, I started untangling the patterns and beliefs that had kept me stuck for years. My nervous system began to settle. I rebuilt self-trust. Decisions felt clearer. The future felt less threatening.

Eventually, I divorced. I moved to Chicago. I built a new chapter of my life rooted in something deeper than performance or endurance.

I chose to pursue this work because I don’t believe women should spend years feeling like they are drowning in their own lives. Constantly overwhelmed. Carrying everyone else’s needs. Questioning themselves while still trying to show up for everyone else.

When you’re stuck in that place, it doesn’t always look dramatic from the outside. But inside, it can feel exhausting and lonely.

Confidence, self-trust, and peace of mind are not luxuries.
They are the difference between surviving your life and actually feeling at home in it.

Today, I work with women whose lives look “fine” from the outside, but who feel stretched thin underneath. Women who have carried a lot for a long time.

You don’t have to fall apart to deserve support.

Sometimes you simply need a space where you can exhale.

And if that’s where you are, I would be honored to walk alongside you.
