  Motivated by recent constructions of TeV-scale strongly-coupled dynamics,
either associated with the Higgs sector itself as in pseudo-Nambu-Goldstone
boson (pNGB) Higgs models or in theories of asymmetric dark matter, we show
that stable solitonic Q- balls can be formed from light pion-like pNGB fields
carrying a conserved global quantum number in the presence of the Higgs field.
We focus on the case of thick-wall Q-balls, where solutions satisfying all
constraints are shown to exist over a range of parameter values. In the limit
that our approximations hold, the Q-balls are weakly bound and parametrically
large, and the form of the interactions of the light physical Higgs with the
Q-ball is determined by the breaking of scale symmetry.
