My Story: Navigating Grief and Responsibility
I’m Sylvia, a grief support coach who has experienced firsthand the challenge of managing profound loss while maintaining the demands of life. I’ve lost both parents, two siblings, and close friends, and I know what it’s like to have to keep going when the world feels heavy.
Through my own journey, I’ve developed tools and strategies to help others process grief without letting go of their responsibilities. Using a combination of mindfulness, neuroscience, and emotional resilience techniques, I work with people who, like you, need to find balance between showing up for others and tending to their own healing.
With over a decade of experience in coaching, I have had the privilege of guiding hundreds of individuals through some of life’s most challenging moments. From strength and conditioning to Pilates, mindfulness, and life coaching, my work has helped clients not only navigate physical and emotional hurdles like illness, anxiety, grief, and burnout but emerge stronger and more resilient.
Having faced my own significant losses, I understand firsthand the complex layers of grief and the toll it can take. This unique combination of personal and professional experience has given me profound insight into what people need most during their darkest times. I’ve seen incredible transformations—people rediscovering their strength, purpose, and capacity for joy, even in the midst of profound loss. It is this transformation that fuels my dedication.
The Rise program is more than just grief support; it’s about helping you build a personal toolkit that will serve you for life. While we can’t escape life’s inevitable challenges, we can learn to meet them in a way that is constructive, compassionate, and deeply empowering. My goal is to help you rise above grief while also giving you the skills to navigate whatever life may bring with clarity and resilience.
This work is not about quick fixes. It’s about lasting change, and I’m honored to walk that path with those ready to transform their pain into wisdom.
