Today we’d like to introduce you to Veronica Pereira

Veronica, we appreciate you taking the time to share your story with us today. Where does your story begin?

My story started in the corporate world, working a 9-5 job in title and escrow. I did well professionally, but my heart wasn’t in it. I felt stuck in a dead-end role, even though I was excelling. Health and wellness had always been a passion of mine, so while working full-time and pregnant with my son, I decided to go back to school for nutrition. But the universe had different plans for me.

After having my son, I made the difficult decision to quit my corporate job and dive into this passion full-time. It was one of the hardest decisions I’ve made—not because of a lack of support, but because I had no idea what I was doing. It took me a few months to find my footing. I put so much pressure on myself to launch my coaching business, thinking I’d be supporting women dealing with infertility, since that was my personal journey.

But as I continued my path, I realized my transformation went deeper than just food and exercise. I had to rewire my thoughts and let go of the stories I had made myself believe. I learned to trust the universe, to understand that control is an illusion. My biggest lesson was resetting my nervous system after years of being stuck in fight or flight mode, learning to honor myself and reclaim my identity.

Once I understood that everything is energy—our thoughts, intentions, and stories—I realized my true purpose was deeper than I imagined. With a background in music, I found myself drawn to sound and energy healing, and that’s when my path shifted. I went from wanting to coach women to creating experiences that allow people to heal through sound and energy.

Four years later, I’m living a life I couldn’t have imagined, with the honor of sharing this journey and supporting others in ways I never thought possible.

We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?

It definitely hasn’t been a smooth road, it’s been more like a rollercoaster! This journey has been one of the hardest things I’ve ever done, but also the most rewarding. The struggles? Oh, there have been so many I can’t even list them all! One of the biggest challenges was not having a coach or guide when I first started. I knew nothing about running a successful business, whether it was marketing, building a website, managing social media, or even how to secure funding. I had no investors, no roadmap, no models to follow, it was all new to me. I found myself wearing 100 different hats, all while trying to hold space for others, grow, fail, and then get back up again.

I remember taking every free course I could find just to learn and then apply what I learned, and it wasn’t easy at all. But if I had to pick the hardest struggle, it was those moments when no one showed up for my events. I would spend hours marketing, posting on social media, setting up all my instruments, only to have no one come. That was hard, those moments of doubt where you question everything.

Honestly, if it weren’t for the fire inside me that knew there was something bigger, I might have quit after the third sound bath with no attendees. But I kept going, and when people didn’t show up, I used that time to create content, practice, and keep the momentum. Each setback taught me something new, and slowly, I built the community I have today.

As you know, we’re big fans of you and your work. For our readers who might not be as familiar what can you tell them about what you do?

I’m a sound bath facilitator and energy healer, and I specialize in creating nourishing and deeply relaxing experiences for individuals to slow down, reconnect with themselves, and heal. Through sound baths, I guide people into a state of relaxation where they can release stress, blockages, and even trauma, allowing their bodies to reset. On a scientific level, the sound frequencies from healing instruments help reset the nervous system, but energetically, so much more is happening beneath the surface. Participants often experience mental clarity, pain relief, and heightened awareness, sometimes even tapping into altered states of consciousness. The beautiful thing about sound healing is that it meets you exactly where you are, whether it’s your first time or you’re experienced, and you receive exactly what you need.

What I’m most proud of is the community we’ve built, a space where women come together to support and uplift each other. The friendships, the bonds, and the transformations I’ve witnessed are priceless. There’s something truly powerful about women holding space for one another, and I’m honored to be part of that.

What sets me apart is that I’m not here for a one-time experience or trend. I’m here to build real relationships, to create sisterhood, and to foster community. My goal is for everyone who comes to my events to feel seen, loved, and supported, not just another ticket sold. I want to know you, hold space for you, and support you however I can. You’re not just attending a sound bath; you’re gaining a community, a friend, even a family. That’s what makes this work so special to me.

What matters most to you? Why?

What matters most to me is building authentic connections and fostering a sense of community where people feel seen, loved, and supported. In a world that moves so fast, I believe it’s crucial to create spaces where individuals can slow down, reconnect with themselves, and heal, not just physically, but emotionally and energetically.

I’m passionate about helping others realize that true transformation happens when we give ourselves the time and space to nourish and receive. Whether it’s through a sound bath or energy healing, what truly matters to me is that each person walks away feeling like they are part of something bigger, that they’re not alone in their journey.

This is why I prioritize community in everything I do. I want the people who come to my events to feel like they’ve gained more than just a relaxing experience, I want them to leave with a sense of belonging, with new friendships, and with the support of a community. Seeing that transformation, watching people heal, grow, and support each other, is the most fulfilling part of my work, and it’s what drives me every day. That’s what matters to me, because I know how powerful it can be to feel truly seen and connected, both to yourself and to others.
