Sylvia is a soulful, powerful facilitator who knows how to make participants feel comfortable and safe with challenging life topics. Her sensitivity to each person in the circle and unconditional love, create the perfect environment to explore what makes us who we are and who we can become.”

“I truly enjoyed coming to Sylvia’s Conscious Mothering Circle; it uplifted me, challenged me, and made me look into my own ways of handling life a little better. It was nice to have a small circle of other women going through their own challenges in life, and realizing we all have small demons or issues in our lives to contend with at different levels. It kept me grounded and able to stay healthfully concerned with my family as it matures and grows beyond the young-children-at-home stage. I truly recommend Sylvia’s conscientious groups to anyone!” Sue C., CD(DONA), AAH

“My time spent with Sylvia practicing Inner Bonding has been consistently uplifting and grounding at the same time. The tools she has given me to communicate with myself and my Guidance has transformed my life. Knowing that access to truth and loving action is easy, the challenge is to realize when I should be asking Guidance for help rather than following my thoughts or feelings in circles. The most profound and lasting message that I keep hearing is “Be as kind, patient, understanding to yourself as you are to your children.” – Erin S., Anaheim, CA

Through Sylvia’s gentle support she has helped me to develop a loving and nurturing relationship with my boys.  I’ve also discovered how important it is to take loving care of myself as a wife and mom. I have learned that when I am balanced and well, my whole family benefits. ~ Kelly L.

Working with Sylvia was a deeply nurturing experience for me. Her warm, calm presence and her clear inner strength helped me to feel safe exploring emotions that are sometimes difficult for me to open up to. She is a courageous and generous soul, daring to take her compassion into the places where it hurts and turning them into places that can heal. She is highly skilled and experienced with facilitating the healing process in a loving, kind way. I highly recommend working with Sylvia.

“I just wanted to drop you a quick note to let you know how much I appreciated the CM circle last week. The energy, strength and inspiration I left with has remained with me this past week and I can’t wait until this month’s gathering. The circle IS truly a unique phenomenon and a privilege to be a part of!”-  Lisa, Pasadena, CA 

 

“When I describe the monthly Conscious Mothering Circle to other moms I know, some of the first words out of my mouth are always “it is just such a safe, loving, whole space for you to express and work on aspects of your life that are holding you back from being the mother you want to be.”

Sylvia is a gifted mama whose compassion and straight talk allow a participant the opportunity to really look within and find answers to issues that may have been welling up for a long time or just initially surfacing. She has a unique way of guiding you but, really you are finding the answers. This empowers you to feel in control and more willing to dig and explore a little deeper those issues that influence how you handle the daily grind of your life in being, a mother, partner, co-worker, sister, friend, etc.

The group setting or circle is so powerful. Listening to other women discuss issues they are having and watching them work with Sylvia to resolve, or work through those issues, is such a learning opportunity. The circle experience is a very unique opportunity to get to know other mamas in a rare state of mind. You get to know your circle-mates intimately and are able to support them and feel their support through out the time spent together. Participating in the Conscious Mothering Circle each month is the best gift I know of to give myself mentally. I leave the meetings refreshed, grounded, centered, empowered, and loved. As mothers we experience so much giving of ourselves on an hourly basis. Giving yourself the gift of this experience monthly will allow yourself the ability to give all you must give during the month and have a place to mentally fill-up. It is simply the most enlightening few hours a month I participate in. I love it and feel so fortunate to have found Sylvia and to have been open to including her in my life.”  - Carrie, Fullerton CA
