The philosophy behind the name

Hi, I'm Silvia, and I created The Mind-Body Compass out of a deep belief in the power of the mind-body connection.

The name reflects the idea that when we rebuild the relationship between mind and body, we awaken an inner compass — a felt sense of direction that can guide how we live, heal, and make choices that truly align with who we are. Our bodies communicate in the form of subtle signals, physical sensations, gut feelings, and emotional truths that, when listened to, offer clarity and orientation to navigate life.

The Mind-Body Compass is here to help you reconnect with that inner guidance system, regulate your nervous system, and build the capacity to live from a place of embodied clarity, safety, confidence and self-trust.

“The privilege of a lifetime is to become who you truly are.”

— Carl Jung

The Vision

  • People deeply connected to their bodies, where the echoes of trauma and unseen wounds no longer control their lives.

  • Living with authentic presence, fully rooted in their own reality and truth.

  • Free to be their true selves — giving themselves permission to show the world who they are without fear, apology, or disguise.

  • Empowered and courageous, stepping into their power guided by the wisdom of their embodied experience.

  • Creating lives filled with clarity, purpose, and profound self-trust.

  • Meeting life’s challenges with resilience, compassion, and a sense of inner safety that no external circumstance can take away.

Testimonials

  • “I have a chronic illness, and my body often reacts in the opposite way to what one might expect. Silvia took the time and effort to learn about my illness before carefully planning a Breathwork session that was appropriate for me and unlikely to overstimulate me or cause adverse effects. Silvia created a beautiful, cozy, calming environment. She walked me through the process step by step, ensuring that I knew what was coming next. This helped in cultivating a feeling of complete safety and trust throughout. Silvia intervened as necessary to help move stuck emotions, culminating in a profound release, followed by a deep sense of peace and relaxation. In the days since this incredible Breathwork session I have felt lighter. I’m excited about the possibility of continuing to explore Breathwork with Silvia, and grateful for the additional tools - notably the somatic grounding exercises - I’ve added to my toolkit for living my life with a chronic illness.”

  • It was truly a wonderful experience, one of those that can only be compared to something extraordinary. Once the session ended, I equated it with the happiness, excitement, and sense of well-being I felt when I became a mother to my first and only child, David. Silvia has been the perfect guide for me to discover the incredible world of breathwork. I hope and deeply wish to have the immense privilege of sharing another session with her very soon.

  • “Never having done a breathwork session before, I was very curious what it would entail and if/how I would benefit from it. It was a bit scary to surrender myself to the experience, as it required me to use my voice, breath intensely and let my emotions guide me. But Silvia clearly explained what I could expect, participated and guided me through the experience and provided a reassuring and safe space to do so. I felt and experienced more than I had anticipated, some suppressed emotions definitely surfaced. I think with more experience and practice I would be able to feel this even more. Certainly a different and refreshing experience than other types of therapy. I have already booked a next session.”

  • The breathwork session with @themindbodycompass has been incredible transformative for me. I am still amazed by the empowering experience and the real insights I had to connect to my true self. Silvia is a great Therapist. I felt really safe with her and could trust her fully to guide me through the process. After the session I felt super relaxed and recharged. I cannot wait for the next session with Silvia!

  • As a person with a chronic disease, a lot of anxiety and some hesitation towards breathwork, Silvia took the time to explain things clearly and put me at ease. She adjusted the session to my pace and needs, and was soft and caring in delivering it. I also appreciated the time she took to check in in the days after the session to make sure the integration process went smoothly. The session brought an intense emotional release, but most importantly gave me access to an inner strength I didn't know I had. And this is something I'll bring with me as I navigate the ups and downs of life. It was quite a liberating experience, with a very lovely person ❤

  • I have been dealing with anxiety and panic attacks for a long time. Nothing has really worked for me beyond a temporary relief. When I heard about Silvia and her approach to breathwork I felt a need to give it a go. Nothing could have prepared me for what I felt and what I released in the session with Silvia. She really took care of every detail and made me feel very safe and protected. I never realised how much weight I had been carrying with me over past situations and unprocessed emotions, and letting it all go during the session felt like a rebirth. I gained so much clarity and reconnected with my strenght to move forward in life. Thank you Silvia.

  • "I am glad I heard my inner voice and trusted Silvia. She explained the sessions beforehand, answered all my questions and guided me through them step by step, always ready to intervene and soothe things when they got a bit overwhelming. She has a natural ability to make me feel protected, but also push me to explore what is hidden underneath, all these suppressed emotions stuck in my body… Silvia creates a different path for our breathwork session every single time - which is totally in line with what I need for that particular moment - and builds a safe place where my body can release the negative emotions and traumas. And even though the process can be painful at times, I always find myself feeling a huge relief, a unique sensation of being at peace with myself, in my center, aligned. I have had the most amazing insights during our sessions that have led me to surprisingly positive changes in my everyday life. "
