Sylvia integrates trauma-informed spiritual counseling, nature connection and ancestral wisdom to support you to heal and reclaim yourself and your families.
Welcome to our self-reclamation and reparenting community!
Together we return to ancestral/spiritual wisdom, remember our innate humanity, and RECLAIM ourselves. The answers are not new or ‘to be discovered’, they are already within each of us.
Together, we heal and remember our beauty, wholeness, and deep connection with ALL of life.
What clients have to say about working with Sylvia:
“I cannot say enough good things about Sylvia and the work that she does for women and indirectly for their families and even more exponentially, for the world. The environment she offers through retreats and Conscious Mothering Circles is such a safe, healing space for us mothers to be able to reflect and restore ourselves in an authentically self-loving, self-affirming way. She approaches her work with warmth and grace and makes it possible for women like myself to experience beautiful moments of enlightenment, self-awareness, and catharsis. My spirituality and emotional intelligence is nourished and my soul is perpetually fed by my experiences with Sylvia and the support I receive from her and the mothers who attend these events. It is a Powerful and Invaluable service that she provides.” ~Leslie Priscilla, founder, Latinx Parenting
"I’ve spent over 12 years on a healing path and it wasn’t until working with Sylvia that really big shifts happened. The experience of having a POC healing to mirror and understand the depths and layers of my trauma with out judgment or me having to explain has been beyond value. Sylvia’s style brings healing to everyone she touches. And the layers of cultural awareness she possesses has provided safe space for me to get to the depths needed to heal. Sylvia embodies a gentle curandera and carries wisdom, I’ve only experienced from elders. She knows when things need to be cleared and has guided me in developing a relationship to my ancestors, and the beauty of my cultures healing ways." ~Rose Z.
"I have worked with Sylvia for ten years in various ways: 1-1, in conscious mothering circles and on retreats. Who she is and what she does is an offering that moves beyond words. First, she is a trained and skilled healer and facilitator; she brings vast wisdom, resource and intentionality to her work. Sylvia is deeply compassionate, trauma-informed, and can hold deep space for the impact of trauma, grief and loss, integrating ancestral wisdom, physiological/body awareness, nature connection and practical tools for everyday challenges into her support. Sylvia has been a lighthouse of love and compassion on my journey as a woman: mother, wife, daughter, professional. To receive the gifts of her counsel and guidance, the radical love and compassion she embodies, will be one of the greatest gifts of your life." ~Lisa D.
"Throughout the years I have met and worked with a lot of therapists, Social Workers, and other professionals from all different walks of life, experiences, and degrees... With that experience in mind, I say this without any hesitation that Sylvia is one of the best of the best." ~D. H.
