Hi, I’m Sylvia
Hi, my name is Sylvia, nice to meet you!
I work with motivated spirits, just like yours, who want to move into a new season of adventure in their lives.
I’m passionate about empowering women who need support and guidance during life transitions.
My specialties include grief and loss (traumatic and complex grief); trauma and domestic violence recovery; anxiety and depression; shame reduction and self-compassion; personal growth and life transitions (employee management, leadership enhancement, parenting skills, and edifying adolescents).
I will help you create a strategic plan to gain clarity. I will help you stretch and grow to gently see a more empowering way to achieve your goals. You will discover another perspective as you overcome limiting paradigms.
No matter what your needs are, I will assist you in developing both personally and professionally.
