Bonita Choi O’Neill is the go-to mentor for women who are ready to soften out of struggle and rise into embodied abundance. As a Divine Feminine Abundance Coach, she helps women regulate their nervous systems, unravel scarcity from the root, and unlock their natural capacity to lead, receive, and expand — without abandoning themselves.

Bonita’s unique approach blends energy therapy, intuitive healing, subconscious rewiring, and nervous system-based tools to support deep, lasting transformation. Her work bridges the worlds of spirituality, embodiment, and feminine leadership — guiding clients to create life-changing shifts in their money, self-worth, relationships, and visibility.

She is the creator of The Divine Feminine Program, and the founder of Southside Healing, her signature methodology that supports women around the world to return home to their power, intuition, and magnetism. Having built a thriving six-figure soul-led business — and manifested multi-millions alongside her partner — Bonita now teaches the energetic, emotional, and spiritual foundations of true abundance.

But her journey began long before that.

Bonita’s path has been shaped by her ancestral lineage and spiritual devotion. Her great grandmother was a respected Buddhist, and her own healing journey spans over a decade of training in Eastern and Western energy healing modalities. Born in Hawaii and raised between Vancouver and Hong Kong, Bonita grew up in a multicultural world and later received her Bachelor of Arts (Honours) in Religious Studies in Ontario, Canada.

She has been trained in VortexHealing®, Reiki, EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique), Conscious Loving, intuitive psychic healing, Yin Yoga, crystal bowl and gong sound therapy. She was attuned by three Reiki Masters and is a 4th generation Reiki Master Teacher in direct lineage to Dr. Usui. Bonita’s energy work is deeply intuitive, grounded, and emotionally attuned — restoring balance, clarity, and expansion at both the cellular and spiritual level.

After running a successful practice in Hong Kong, Bonita relocated to Amsterdam in 2022, where she now leads her global programs, teaches workshops, and offers select healing sessions for returning clients and students.

She was a Finalist in the 2021 Liv Media Wellness Awards Hong Kong, nominated for Best Alternative Healer, Best Sound Healer, and Best Alternative Healing Centre. In 2024, she was featured by Stories Amsterdam for her pioneering work in feminine energy and abundance healing where you can read it here.

Bonita brings a kind, intuitive, and compassionate approach to her healing sessions, restoring balance, harmony, and health for each client.

Today, Bonita serves visionary women who are ready to stop abandoning themselves and finally receive the life they desire — not by force, but by feminine alignment.

Hi, nice to meet you. I am Bonita Choi O’Neill.

Divine Feminine Abundance Coach | Energetic Mentor | Subconscious Healer | Reiki Master Teacher

  • Bonita’s spirituality dates back to her great grandmother, a Buddhist, respected in the family and village for her wisdom and teachings. The story was passed down that when Japanese soldiers during WWII invaded her village, a group of them had walked in while she was meditating, and in that moment of shared reverence, they respectfully closed the door, and walked on.

    Bonita started meditating with her parents at six years old, exploring the concept of energy and how it moves, shifts and feel in the physical and emotional body. A Highly Sensitive Person and Empath, she has always returned to the path of Spirituality as her foundation. After completing her Bachelor of Arts Honours in Religious Studies, focused on Eastern Religions at Queen’s University in Canada, Bonita then dove into a month-long immersion Teacher Training Certification in 2005 with Sivananda Yoga in Dorset England, and again in 2012, for another 200 hours TTC at the Anahata Yoga Centre in Hong Kong.

    Bonita practices pranayama/yoga, Vortex Healing, Reiki, EFT, kinesiology, Somatic Experiencing, energy healing, acupuncture and cupping, crystal bowl, the gong, and Tibetan singing bowl sound therapies. This passion in using energy as a healing modality inspires Bonita to continue to study, train, receive, explore and offer an expanding and deepening knowledge of healing therapies to her clients.

    A trained classical violinist, she has always been fascinated by how all living beings are moved by the energy of music and sound. And so, Bonita completed her Advanced Crystal Bowl Healing with international sound alchemist Malbert Lee, and then the Gong Therapy, and embeds her sessions with a profound connection to Traditional Usui Reiki. She has trained and been attuned under 4 Reiki Masters including Satao Sasaki of Japan Reiki NPO association, Stephen and Pervin Clasper and Bruce Taylor, whose teacher, Inamoto Hyakuten, and lineage closely ties back Dr Mikao Usui. Bonita is a 4th generation Reiki Master Teacher.

    Bonita has completed multiple Vortex Healing trainings with Anthony Gorman, which serves as a powerful multi-dimensional energy bridge to help transform emotional issues and works on the physical body and all aspects of the energetic systems. She has also trained in intuitive and energetic clearing with Jeffery Allan.

    Bonita completed her EFT 2 Training with Accredited Certified EFT Practitioner, Trainer and Mentor Falguni Mather of EFT International in March 2022, and the level 3 with Mary-Jane Sharratt of EFT & Mindfulness Centre in 2023. She incorporates these effective mind-body therapies in her 1:1 and group sessions. While she attended trauma related workshops earlier on, including Somatic Experiencing, Bonita’s EFT and Yin Yoga training gave her the professional tools to support for clients to safely revisit their trauma and to heal.

    Bonita brings healing to her clients with a kind, intuitive and compassionate approach that matches their exact need at the time of her sessions, restoring balance, harmony and health for each of her clients. Bonita is an apprentice to Vedic Astrology, and a forever student of yoga. She has 3 children with her husband of fifteen years, all of whom are her biggest teachers.

    Bonita, and Southside Healing, is a Finalist for Liv Media’s Wellness & Lifestyle Rewards Hong Kong 2021 in the categories: Best Alternative Healer, Best Sound Healer and Best Alternative Healing Centre.

  • My teenage daughter and I are clients of Bonita’s. We have both been doing a lot of work on bringing back our energy in recent sessions particularly with the challenges of running a business during COVID, and for my daughter dealing with university applications and maintaining grades in a highly unusual final school year. Reiki is incredible for stressed busy minds. Be careful of what you wish for though… having never been an early morning person, I am now bouncing out of bed at 5.30am ready for the day ahead!

    - D.D. Entrepreneur, Hong Kong

  • “I have attended both Bonita’s individual session and her crystal bowl sound baths and was amazed by the healing effect of both. Bonita provides a safe, gentle space to explore the energy we hold and the effect it has on our lives. Her wisdom and insight helps gain an understanding of yourself, your own energy and how to let go of things that do not serve us.”

    — Judy S, Stanley Hong Kong

  • “A Reiki session with Bonita is therapy for the mind, body and spirit. I always leave my sessions with her feeling grounded and calm. It’s been the best and most effective “me time” I’ve had in years.”

    — Kim C. APAC Commercial Director, Hong Kong

  • “Before having my first session of Reiki, I was not sure what to think and feel, and was unaware of what the session would be like. After the session with Bonita all I felt was this sense of freedom. My body felt full of energy and my mind was filled with positivity. It was truly MAGIC! I felt so connected and in tune with myself. Bonita was amazing in explaining and leading the session. I have continued to have regular sessions with Bonita and each session only gets better and better!”

    — Radha M. Therapist, Hong Kong

  • “Bonita is one of life’s gems! Her sound baths leave you feeling so deeply relaxed, as if you have had the best massage on the inside. Her reiki is magical and unblocks and nurtures whatever is needed. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her.

    - Tina W. Stanley, Hong Kong

  • “I have seen Bonita for group sound baths and private reiki sessions and have found both of these to be extremely restorative and relaxing. My sessions with Bonita have really helped improve my sleep, clear my mind and keep me grounded. I feel completely relaxed and calm during the sessions, and afterwards.

    - Leah M. Sydney, Australia

  • “Navigating life in Hong Kong in these strange times <covid19> while balancing work and family can be super stressful. A personal session with Bonita has become a precious hour of ‘me’ time, where she helps work on my energy levels, balance and emotional clarity so I can give of myself in the best way possible. It’s a pocket of recharge time in a busy schedule that I really, really look forward to.”

    - Kate D, Producer, Pokfulam, Hong Kong

  • “Reiki sessions with Bonita are uplifting and grounding. I leave each session feeling lighter and as if my soul has received the biggest hug! Some of our sessions end with Sound Healing which complements the Reiki. She is incredibly intuitive and it’s conveyed in her sessions. My sessions feel very tailored and personalised. I sincerely appreciate the feedback she shares each session. It helps me align myself with the energy I’ve received and put it into practical use. I highly recommend Bonita’s sessions to restore your energy and restore balance in your life.“

    - Melissa B. Coach, Entrepreneur, Stanley

  • I encountered reiki in my adult life, and what reiki has given me the past few years have been striking moments of clarity and stillness. Every time I come to a fork in the road, reiki has helped steer me towards the right path. My sessions gave me the tools to handle important life decisions, and looking back, each decision made had been the right one. Over time, I've come to realise that I can arrive at epiphanies in reiki, that I otherwise would not have access to.

    Bonita is an incredible listener; fully empathetic with whatever my situation is at the time. She is able to embody the reiki such that it flows so naturally in every session. Bonita never diagnoses; instead she engages at a deeply personal level, yet all the while maintaining a chilled vibe. Every session feels incredibly unique and bespoke. She is empathetic and truly connects. Bonita is a great reiki practitioner. Our sessions always feel too short as I feel that we only scratch the surface and there's so much more ground to cover!

FAQ’S

  • Like you would prepare for a massage, I always advise drinking plenty of water before or after an energy healing session. Energy healing works on deep layers, so water and rest help to continue to detoxify and integrate the changes into your systems.

  • During the treatment, you may feel better immediately, feeling a sense of peace, relief from pain, and greater mental clarity.

    I draw parallels between receiving an energy healing like a deep massage or a yoga class. Energy healing works on a deep level, and because shifts happen, you will often experience a release.

    Because the healing works as an energetic release, you may also feel more tired, emotional or physical discomfort. Like cleaning a dirty attic - your body is clearing out the "dust and dirt" in your system. The discomfort surfaces to be then released. This process is safe, and clients who experience this report feeling lighter afterwards.

    Trust the process, and allow whatever that comes up to be felt, purged, and let go; and know that this is ultimately beneficial.

  • Clients can work after the healing session, though I suggest giving yourself at least 15 minutes to gently “land” back to daily routine. Because shifts occur, take the time to check in with yourself, just like you would after a massage or an acupuncture treatment. Use this space to reflect, meditate, or take a slow walk. You booked yourself an energy healing session, so prioritise and give yourself the time to digest and process the healing. And when you return to work, enjoy the renewed sense of self and perhaps, with even, with greater clarity.

  • Yes! Read all about energy healing for children and young adults at the bottom of my page here.

  • Distance healing is a natural part of energy medicine such as Reiki, Psychic Healing, and Vortex Healing. The distance between me and you (the client) makes no difference. Like our in-person sessions, I tap and connect into your energetic systems, and work on what needs to be cleared and released.

    How does distance healing work?

    Einstein, among others, had theorised this “spooky action at a distance” as Quantum Entanglement. David Bohm furthered this notion with quantum interconnectedness in that subatomic particles and energy waves “communicate” and are ultimately part of an integrated whole.

    In simplified terms, distance healing works because we are all connected through a common energetic field - qi, also known as ki, prana, universal energy, or bioenergy.

    Many of my overseas clients experience regular, often monthly, distance healing sessions, where we work together to release the blockages in your systems. Their reported effects are the same as in-person sessions.

  • I usually recommend once every month for energy healing. Here are some reasons below:

    • We pick up on other people’s energies and emotions constantly and over time this accumulates

    • Emotional stress and trauma takes time and consumes energy to process and heal

    • Clients want to work on deeper levels of clearing unconscious conditioning

    • Energy healing supports the treatment of Physical Ailments such as cancer, eye issues, old and fresh injuries, arthritis, and so forth

    • After working through the initial sessions of coping with for example, severe stress, clients begin to “wake up” to a deeper calling of their life due to the energy work, and continue to take this path to deepen their life purpose

    My regular clients usually come once a month for healing. Just like in a marathon, think of our sessions as a water point stop, where I pass you your much needed water and supplies before you continue on.

  • You can send me a Whatsapp here or directly message me on my Instagram account here to book a slot for a private, in-person session at my location in Amsterdam, or a distance healing outside of Amsterdam.
