Welcome to the mentoring journey with Sylvie

Through Earth-based mindfulness and heart-centered practices, confusion softens and clarity begins to emerge
By cultivating loving awareness, a calmer and kinder way of being gives rise to a deeper sense of belonging – to self, others, the Earth, and the Sacred
By embracing lighthearted practices and the small wonders of life, we create a nourishing inner-garden for joy to naturally arise—like blossoms from the heart.
In a time of upheaval, we deepen or refine your sense of impact – so your calling, whether emerging or established, feels purposeful and fulfilling
I feel such deep care and delight in working with my mentees. The heart of what I offer is guiding people to access the deepest truths that are already within them—truths that often just need space, presence, and loving attention to emerge. At the same time, I support them in deepening their sense of belonging—within themselves, with others, and with the living world that holds, mirrors, and nurtures us.
What moves me most is witnessing the shifts that unfold—those moments when someone feels calm, grounded, and more alive. I especially love seeing their expression when new clarity and joy arise. From there, they begin trusting their own knowing, making more aligned decisions, and moving toward what’s genuinely calling them. Often, these shifts ripple outward in beautiful ways.
Witnessing and holding space for my mentees’ growth is deeply nourishing to me. It’s a true honor.
In order to honor different financial circumstances, I’m now offering mentoring on a sliding scale. Sessions usually range from $125 to $189 per hour. We often begin with a series of three to five sessions over one to two months – based on the needs and what feels supportive.
From there, some choose to continue with monthly or bi-monthly sessions, allowing space for integration and ongoing exploration. If you feel called to this work, we can sense into what feels nourishing and sustainable for you.
While most sessions are 60 minutes, some mentees choose longer sessions – such as 75 or 90 minutes – when it feels helpful to go a bit deeper. Session length and rate are adjusted accordingly, and we can explore together what rhythm and structure best meets you.
You’re welcome to schedule a complimentary 20-minute call to explore whether this might be a good fit- and to get a feel for your options.
Also, feel free to send me an email with questions or concerns.
Narrated by Liam Neeson, the film Love Thy Nature points to how deeply we’ve lost touch with nature, and takes viewers on a cinematic journey through the beauty and intimacy of our relationship with the natural world. The film reveals how a renewed connection with nature can ignite a sense of meaning and wonder so profound that it touches us at the very core of what it means to be human.
Frequently Asked Questions
Coaching
Focuses on reaching specific goals – clarifying outcomes, creating action steps, and moving forward with accountability.
Therapy
In modern Western contexts, therapy often focuses on working with psychological patterns and past experience, and may include diagnosis and treatment.
This mentoring is not therapy. It does not diagnose or treat. Instead, it offers a space of presence and deep self-compassion – where insights arise through direct experience, and where what is already whole within you can be gently remembered.
Mentoring (as I offer it)
Is less about getting somewhere – and more about arriving more fully here, with care.
Through earth-based mindfulness and interactive guided meditation, I support you in listening beneath the surface of the thinking mind – into your body and heart – where your own knowing unfolds. Rather than directing or advising, I help create the conditions for your own insights to emerge and take root organically.
From that place, what unfolds is not something coming from the outside, but something naturally emerging from within.
I offer Earth-based mindfulness and meditation practices (sitting or standing; in stillness or with movement) to calm the thinking mind, settle into the body, and open the heart – while noticing any longing or intention that naturally arises for the session. At times, this may also include elements of Forest Bathing and gentle music (often played on a flute that was blessed by the Diné elder Jerry Nelson) when it organically supports the unfolding of the experience.
Interactive guided meditations invite you to explore the Imaginal Realm – where imagery, symbols, or beings can reveal messages and truths that may have been hidden within.
Since time immemorial, we humans have turned to nature to mirror universal truths of existence. For instance, a seed may lie dormant in the soil for years – and with the right winds, rains, and unseen shifts beneath the surface, suddenly sprout. In the same way, we explore what conditions might nourish a latent, nearly forgotten dream – allowing it to come alive.
Ultimately, this work supports a re-membering of your belonging – with nature, others, yourself, and the Sacred – as you understand it.
No experience is needed.
Nothing is true unless it is true for you. And whatever your spiritual or religious belief, you’re welcome here.
If you’re agnostic or atheist, you are just as welcome. Just know that – from what I observed – being open to the possibility of something larger than oneself can deepen the experience.
I invite you to choose a rate that feels both honest and sustainable for you – one that allows you to show up fully for the work, without strain.
If it feels possible, you might also consider choosing a rate that supports the wider community, helping make this work accessible to others.
We can always revisit this together if needed.
For both discovery and mentoring calls, I require at least 24 hours’ notice if you need to cancel or reschedule. If you cancel a mentoring call with less than 24 hours’ notice, the session will be forfeited and considered used.
If you cancel the entire program with at least 48 hours before the first session, you will receive a full refund. Once we begin, all fees are non-refundable.
