The body carries information. The breath creates space. Clear intentions give us somewhere meaningful to go.

Our fasica, tissue and nervous system all play an intraquite roll when it comes to our state of stress, chronic pain and dysfunction and ability to live life in the fullest expression of life.

My work brings those pieces together. Depending on what you need, we may begin with hands-on clinical care, practical goal setting, breathwork or a conversation that helps you see the pattern more clearly.

This isn’t about becoming a different person. It’s about building the awareness, capacity and confidence to move through life as yourself — with more choice.

“You can genuinely feel how much she cares about people, and she has such a beautiful gift. I’m so grateful our paths crossed, and I would recommend her to absolutely anyone looking to heal, reset, or simply take better care of themselves.”

Integration beyond the work

“Professionally, Syd and I co-hosted an executive retreat for a group of high-performing business owners and leaders, where she led the breathwork and mind-body wellness experiences. Her ability to engage, educate and create meaningful transformation - even with a room full of driven, analytical executives - was truly remarkable. Participants continued talking about her sessions long after the retreat ended and left with practical tools they still use today. Whether she's coaching individuals, facilitating corporate workshops, speaking to audiences of any size, or leading executive retreats, Syd has a rare gift for helping people reconnect with themselves so they can show up stronger - in their leadership, relationships and lives.

Marissa Teeter

Executive Coach, Speaker

“Working with Syd far exceeded anything I could have imagined. She has an extraordinary gift for creating a space that feels safe, grounding, and deeply transformative. Her presence, intuition, and expertise are truly exceptional. The experience created a shift that stayed with me well beyond the session. I left with greater clarity, calm, and connection, and those changes have continued to influence how I move through my days. Syd is doing remarkable work, and I would recommend her without hesitation to anyone looking for a meaningful, lasting experience.”

Dr Robyne Hanley Dafoe

Behavourist, Speaker, Author

“We had never experienced breathwork before and decided to incorporate a session with Syd as the opening to one of our client events. It ended up being one of the most memorable parts of the day. She didn't just lead a session, she created an experience. Through her thoughtful guidance, carefully curated music, and deep understanding of the connection between the body, mind, and energy, our clients felt safe to fully engage in the process. The feedback was overwhelming. People left feeling grounded, centered, connected, and genuinely amazed by the experience. One attendee summed it up perfectly: "Syd puts the WOO in woo-woo."
