Sylvia Bringas

Trauma-Informed Spiritual Coach

Sylvia is a licensed massage therapist with a background in Philosophy. She is also a certified Trauma + Somatics Coach and completed a self-study course with Gabor Maté in Compassionate Inquiry.

What Sylvia brings to Empathic Practice

Navigating Discomfort

Sylvia Bringas is a Spiritual Practitioner who emphasizes healing the relationship you have with yourself. We all experience disconnection from ourselves, others, and the world around us. And she helps you come back into harmony with yourself by teaching you to navigate discomfort. Her fundamental healing principle is in asking, “what does this mean, where did it come from, and what can I learn from it?”

 A healing session with Sylvia is body-centered. She works with the senses, and body sensations, to assist you in processing challenges you face in life.

Sylvia‘s healing sessions are grounded in spiritual and shamanic modalities. As a trauma-informed practitioner, she helps you to unravel fears, overwhelm, self-doubt. In a busy world of living in our heads, she gently guides you in calling back your power and presence to experience the richness of living in harmony, within and without.

What Is Bottom-Up Healing?

In sessions with Sylvia, you work together to gently access the wisdom + consciousness of your body. 

By working with your body’s innate intelligence, you can unravel the bound-up emotional and spiritual ‘scar tissue’ or imbalances and give you access to your vitality so you can live life fully alive, connected, and in harmony with yourself and the world around you. 

What Can This Method Help With?

This work is unique in that it addresses each person as an individual. We all have different circumstances in life, and it is not a one-size-fits-all practice.

Some other questions which this work can help answer and heal are, 

  • What is keeping me from feeling joy in my relationships
  • Why can’t I connect to my purpose
  • Why am I feeling drained and overwhelmed 
  • How can I feel more creative
  • Why is there consistent pain in my neck 
  • Where are my anxiety and stress coming from 
  • What is keeping me from success in my business
  • Why do I feel like I am doing all the right things in life, and nothing is working

She can work with these examples and so much more in your sessions together.
