HI, I’M SYLVIA

I am a hypno-coach for ambitious growth-minded women who are done analysing and seek quick effective changes that last. 

In my previous life, I was dedicated to the business world, where I spent 20 years in various consulting and leadership roles.

When I discovered 7 years ago what using (self-)hypnosis can do for us, it was life-changing for me in so many ways. It led me to become secure attached in dating and relationships, to move from Germany to Paris, and is now helping me grow my business. 

While I currently focus on (self-)hypnosis, I hold various certifications in different modalities (more details below), which I blend into my unique method.

Things I love include: traveling to tropical destinations, sports (fitness, yoga and surfing), music, theater and art (Paris’ exhibitions are the best!), my morning coffee, a glass of wine with friends …and learning more and more about the subconscious mind.

HOW IT ALL STARTED

MY TRANSFORMATION JOURNEY

THE STORY I TOLD MYSELF

My story of getting to know myself started in 2019. I had an established career in consulting and management with an income that made life very comfortable, amazing friends, healthy sports routines and nothing really to complain about. Except that something did not feel quite right.  But I ignored it. I was too busy running my life, working on my career, and dating to finally find the right partner. After all, it was “normal” to still feel the weight of past relationships, to be in a job that you do not love but you’re good at (and well-payed), to be insecure in your body and afraid of never finding a partner (especially in your 30s), right? At least that was the story I told myself.

For many coaches and therapists there was one meaningful event. For me it was (and is) a journey, taking me through various parts of my life: starting from my love life and attachment patterns to changing countries to live a more fulfilled life and finally this entrepreneurial journey. 

THE CHAPTER ABOUT LOVE

It all started when Covid hit. While my social life was on hold, I decided to finally invest in myself. When I discovered hypnosis (more by chance and curiosity) it changed my life and set me out on a path to try every possible healing modality out there: I learned self-hypnosis, started coaching and meditation programs, and saw energy healers and shamans. I started with the emotions and patterns that had started to show up in dating and relationships.

After a few months of in-depth work, I was basically a new person

I had let go of residual impact of my past relationships, I had become secure attached in dating and developed a new relationship with my body. Overall, I felt free and in harmony with myself like never before!

THE CHAPTER ABOUT PARIS

One day I realized something about my life: During the day I was working towards a promotion in a company where I was suffering from a toxic leadership culture. At night I was dating a man who was everything I ever wanted, except emotionally available. I had been living in Munich, Germany for 10 years even though I never wanted to spend my life there. And so I asked myself:  

Is this really all I want from life?

With that realization my whole life changed. Soon after, I made the decision to quit my job, to move away and find inspiration in a city and country that corresponds more to who I am. 

The journey that led me here was intense and challenging but worth every second. In the end I manifested my new job, my dream apartment in the heart of Paris and an incredible group of friends, almost at the same time. And my “new life” is even more amazing than I imagined it to be.

THE CHAPTER ABOUT PURPOSE

I never liked the term “manifestion” (nor anything woowoo), but when I saw how (self-)hypnosis and different practices I continuously used, had helped me not only feel lighter and more like myself, but also to achieve very specific goals, the wish became stronger and stronger to pass what I had learned and used onto others. Why isn’t everyone doing this?

You can be seeking your purpose… in the end, it is your purpose that finds you!

As someone who had always enjoyed studying I dove deeeep into the material. Not only did I complete one training program after the other, but I also studied books, podcasts, and conferences with only one goal: figuring out how the subconscious works…

LOOKING FOR CREDENTIALS?

I am someone who loves to read and study and listen to audiobooks, podcasts, everything I can get my hands on— constantly! The field of psychology has been getting more and more attention recently and science is advancing rapidly, that’s why I believe that staying up to date way more important that accumulating formal (and often outdated) certification.

But of course—and unlike other coaches—I also have some credentials at hand: I am a certified as a coach (ACC level) by the International Coaching Foundation (ICF) and I also hold the Master Practitioner of NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming), as well as the Practitioner of Hypnosis and a certificate in Somatic Parts Work (IFS-based modality for those who know).
