Testimonials

“I always felt remarkably seen by Sīla — she knew what to say, how to pace me, and guided me exactly where I wanted to go. Our work uncovered blind spots in my self-worth as a professional and built real confidence in what I can do. I've since raised my rates, signed a client at the new rate, and I finally know what I want to build next.”

“Before working with Sīla, I felt overwhelmed and burnt out, unsure how to move forward in my job. During our sessions, she created a space where I felt truly heard while also gently challenging me to look at patterns I hadn't been able to see on my own. She pairs empathy and compassion with honesty, and I always left our conversations with practical insights I could apply. Through our work together, Sīla connected me with someone in the field I want to move into, and I took the brave step to follow up and meet with that professor. Even when I got a no at work, it felt good to express myself. I'm proud that I had those conversations, can see a bigger future, and I'm in a higher position than before — this time with more support, more space, and more income.”

“I was skeptical. I worried that branding myself meant sacrificing authenticity. Sīla was patient and met me where I was, helping me work through it in a way that felt true to me. My biggest result was something I didn't expect: a genuine vision for long-term client relationships. I went from mostly doing one-off or a few sessions with clients, to building a 3 month package where they could experience much deeper transformation. That's what will sustain my livelihood and let my work have its full impact.”

“From the first moment with Sīla, I felt uncommon calm. Her grounded presence and gentle questions helped me soften, breathe, and go deeper. I leave feeling clear, centered, and more connected to what matters.”

“Sīla led us in a guided forest bathing workshop in the botanical gardens. This was the highlight of the Congress for me. I could sense my rushing and my mind slow down to really focus on my senses and the present moment. Sīla's love and passion for nature and for helping people with their wellbeing is evident and is inspiring me to develop my own passions to connect people to nature and to themselves.”

“Sīla's forest bathing workshop was the most memorable of the whole conference.”

“This experience was profound. This was a completely different way of experiencing and connecting to nature than anything I've done before. The fact that I had such a successful session in my own front yard speaks to the simple power of this practice, and I appreciated Sīla's grounded presence and gentle guidance throughout.”

“As a person living with chronic pain, during our session I experienced a rare moment of being present and connected with my body without trying to escape it. It helped me to slow down, and take an intentional moment to ground myself to the world with and in every sense.”

“I would tell them that if they trust themselves enough to open up, it's going to be way more impactful than they're expecting. There were countless moments where I was amazed at what I was noticing. At multiple points I was thinking, I hope this doesn't end yet.”

“Sīla's guidance has helped me access my physical senses and appreciatively explore my environment in consciousness-shifting ways. Her teaching sticks. Never before her instruction have I allowed my tongue to explore the taste of air, nor my cheek to be stroked tenderly by a leaf. Now it is daily practice. I reside in my body more consciously than I did before.”

“I'm excited to find a group that feels so welcoming, comfortable and inspiring. Talking about bravery and Hermione was kickass!”
