I’m Sylvia.

I’m a wife, mother of four, author, longtime fitness and wellness professional, recreational athlete, student of psychology—and perhaps more than anything, someone who has always been deeply curious about people.

What makes us who we are? Why do we believe what we believe? Why can we know exactly what to do and still not do it? And how much of the life we’re living is truly ours?

I immigrated to the United States from Poland at eighteen. I raised four children while working, building businesses, studying, training, running marathons and triathlons, volunteering, writing, and continually looking for ways to understand myself and life a little better.

For many years, I thought growth meant more.

More learning. More achieving. More discipline. More goals. Another certification. Another thing to improve.

I’ve studied psychology, health and wellness, personal development, human behavior and spirituality. I’ve worked with people through many different ages and seasons of life—from physical training and health challenges to moments when life itself seemed to be asking different questions.

Somewhere along the way, my own questions began to change.

Instead of always asking, “What’s next?” I became much more interested in, “What’s here?”

I began to wonder whether we always need another person telling us how to live, another method to follow, or another version of ourselves to become.

Maybe sometimes we simply need enough space to hear ourselves again.

Thank you 

Best,

Sylvia
