ABOUT SYLVIA
I am a Somatic practitioner emphasizing a bottom-up healing approach. My fundamental healing principle is helping individuals heal imbalances in the body to reconnect with themselves, others, and the world.
I have always been a highly sensitive soulful child, with a big heart and deep emotions. The challenges with my sensitive nature mixed with trauma are what implored me to begin my healing journey in 2012. Being highly sensitive was a double-edged sword. Though my gifts of perception of my environment, other people, and the world around me brought me a lot of insight and unique skills, it also created a lot of chaos, nervous system dysregulation, big emotions, and a sense of isolation.
After a decade of embodied healing, academics, and gnosis I now share the tools and practices to assist others who have a calling to reclaim personal power and to live life fully.
My passion is in listening to and helping others to navigate and heal the complexities of emotions, childhood, ancestral, and adult trauma by assisting you in reconnecting with your living wholeness in body, mind, and spirit.
I look forward to working with you.
"I reveled in books at a young age and spent a lot of my time outdoors. My interests, connection, and natural aptitude in nature, art, and myths captivated me. They imprinted within me perception and felt understanding that there is more to life than
what we perceive with our mind."
My sessions focus on uncovering unconscious and subconscious patterns and working to heal them by engaging body consciousness, the nervous system, emotions, and physical sensations. I also work with thought forms, psychology, self-inquiry, shadow work, and shamanic practices, tailoring the session to each client’s needs and level of awareness.
I do not offer a 'niche', I prefer working with a broad range of psychological, emotional, physical, and spiritual imbalances.
Some clients I see are working with
Navigating sensitivities, feeling different or othered, spiritual awakening processes
Grief, fear, sadness, childhood memories, relationship with parents
Autoimmune issues, and physical symptoms that are unexplainable by modern medicine
Depression, PTSD, anxiety, overwhelm, and self-doubt
The nervous system states, and stuck in perpetual flight, fight or freeze
Assistance with integrating plant medicine experiences
Deeper connection to purpose and pleasure and financial health
And working with people who are Military veterans and hospital workers
In a busy world of living in our heads, I gently guide you in calling back your power and presence to experience the richness of living in harmony, within and without.
