About me

I am Silvia Sky

I am a trauma-informed holistic therapist, “out-of-the-box” thinker with a life-affirming enthusiasm to help those who are ready to love life and live well!

As a people-focused individual, I thrive on understanding, supporting, and encouraging others. I love making things happen for people, and get my best personal satisfaction from this.

My work with the general public for over 20 years in three different countries has given me plenty of experience in dealing with people of various cultures and walks of life. I have been told many times over that my thoughtful, kind and gentle nature puts people at ease and reassures them that they are being treated with utmost respect and care.

I love working with enlightened heretics, those who are fed up with trying to fit in a sick system and they are working on themselves to be the health and light they want to see in the world.

I can help with:

  • body pains and aches
  • mental health struggles
  • relationships
  • spiritual seeking / the metaphysical and the esoteric

My journey

I turned my world around after being diagnosed with Crohn’s Disease in 2013.

Oh, the signs were there for many, many years, during which time I ignored, silenced and suppressed them all with great skill. Eventually the signs became louder and louder so I could finally hear them and address both symptoms and causes. I have been pill and symptom free since May 2014.

Bowen Techique and SCD nutrition saved my life!

They helped me to embark on the journey of becoming a Bowen Practitioner and later an integrative life coach, so I can share my knowledge and skills with the world, in order to make it easier for those who might find themselves in time of need like I once was.

… my story

Even though I was researching trauma recovery for many years, I started my path towards better physical health with full awareness after I was diagnosed with Crohn’s Disease.

After the desperation, the fear, the anger and the rock bottom, the empowering phase of complete honesty emerged. For me, swapping “why me” with “how did I get myself in this situation?” was an empowering step. I owned my story.

I asked questions on all major life areas, and the answers were both upsetting and freeing!

I realized how moving countries twice has been a major stress source. The anxiety, the effort to fit in, also the desire to prove myself while building what was to become an award winning corporate management career was mostly handled by working hard and partying hard. I gained incredible professional transferable skills along the way and also a lot of anxiety and bad coping mechanisms.

The long working hours meant random eating – and mostly shoving into my stomach anything that was convenient and fast that would settle the hunger. By the time I realized I had eaten far too much it was too late. This lead to mood swings, tiredness, poor quality of sleep and well… basically… bad decisions about what is good for me in a lot more other aspects of life than just nutrition.

Whenever signs that I was unwell appeared, rather than slow down and ask myself what kind gesture does my body need right now, I simply ignored them and marched on.

The stress built up. The constant agitation and search for perfection in one way or another, constantly worrying about targets, performance and what others thought of me or taking upon myself all the worries of the world, kept me from sleeping well at night and lead me towards an internal war of thoughts that I could never win.

This vicious circle of hunger, binge eating, long working hours, stressful thoughts, sleepless nights and bad decisions made me feel disconnected from any divine nature, source or spiritual form of inner strength. I would feel alone, separated and confused about my own inner compass.

I now understand how wrong I was in believing that relaxing after a long day is either a loud party or aimlessly switching TV channels while tucking into a takeaway.

I bounced between tiredness, depression and anger. It took me years to acknowledge and integrate the anger.  

Honoured be our sadness, calling for love and soothing, honoured be our tired soul calling for safety and emotional rest, honoured be our anger, saving us from apathy, and blessed be its message of righting wrongs! May we have the wisdom to allow it all to melt after we acknowledge and lovingly tend to all the suffering we’ve been through!

For the picture to be complete, like a swan gliding on the water while peddling hard underneath, I invested a lot of effort to portray to the world a cheerful, “strong” and wholesome individual! Phew! No wonder I was chronically fatigued and burnt out and no wonder my soul was dimmed down.

Knowledge is power and in my self-empowerment journey, I read as many books on self development as I could and reached out to people who have been there before and changed their life paradigms in order to thrive. I started asking questions and listening, really listening when the answers would appear. I decided to be kinder to myself and integrate past stories of hurt and trauma. With every bit of awareness I would gain, the road became lighter and I felt more confident and at ease with myself.

Awareness increased in speed and intensity.

Not surprisingly at all… the more layers I peeled, the traumatic part of the past surfaced with a vengeance.

I grew up in Communist Romania, in a loud, violent and unpredictable household, with alcoholism, secrets and domestic violence, all wrapped up with a pretty bow under the image of a beautiful, respectable family. 

I was sexually groomed by a paedophile doctor at 14. 

I survived being locked in a house for five hours by three men, tortured and raped at 18. 

To be able to survive the darkness that took hold following that day, for the following three years, I lived in constant dissociation from my emotions and my body. I developed a porn addiction (something women do not disclose or talk often about) and used promiscuous sex as a self-harm weapon and a means to control what hurt me. 

I failed my university exams to study foreign languages and literature but I started working and became brilliant at my job. I earned amazing money and became the youngest duty free manager in the history of Bucharest International Airport. And I did it all with a mask of a bubbly personality. I was extraordinary and extraordinarily tormented by all the things I could not make sense of about my life, my story and who I was. I have much compassion for that younger version of me.

At 21 I moved from Romania to Israel for love (what a fantastic time of becoming and unbecoming that was!). At 26 I moved to England (yup, for love again!) to marry a wonderful man who was all I could wish for at the time. I finally found my forever home and for the first time I felt truly safe. 

Healing started.

I researched avidly a wide variety of sources about trauma healing and in the process went down a few rabbit holes, from the medical to the esoteric, from religious to scientific and got familiar with concepts about meditation, energy healing, subliminal programming, quantum mechanics and how trauma and our brain health impact our behaviour. I started making sense of my body, and understand more about my sexuality. My first ever neuro-sculpting program I bought was Holosync by Centrepoint Reserach Institute, a leading edge binaural beats technology at the time, in 2005.

By the time I gave birth to my son in 2010, I already had an idea that I wanted to parent in a consciously aware way so I can offer my son the kind of childhood I wish I would have had. Giving birth was a catalyst for accelerated healing. And healing crisis. And marital crisis.

The first few years of clumsily learning on the go how to be a mum, did not look at all peaceful and serene. Yet again, I found myself in times where my spirit had to fight for my life, only now I was fighting for two! I suffered with suicidal post natal depression, compounded by all my fears that inevitably I will repeat my parents mistakes. Peppered with marital conflicts, life wasn’t the picture perfect glow of motherhood, it was more a long, dark night of the soul. 

Discovering my first energy healing summit in 2011 was like a ray of light! I learned EFT tapping and other holistic methods to heal physical and emotional pain I had never heard of before! I was mesmerized, intrigued and I put in practice everything I could at the time, to keep myself alive and well.

That Energy Summit, brought me to a movie called “Thrive – What on Earth will it take”. After watching it, I decided to turn off the TV in 2011. I found my freedom and re-discovered my own mind and my own inner voice! I started researching any conscious parenting material I could and learning how to parent my son and how to re-parent myself too in the process.

My son helped me discover new ways of seeing the world, but I felt very lonely in this process as I grew further and further apart from his dad through fear, lack of communication and lack of authentic, vulnerable emotional connection, our own unresolved wounds surfacing at every step in our new parenthood journey. 

Somewhere in this messy process, recovering from a traumatic birth, post natal depression, taking care of the house, two dogs, a toddler, marital problems brough on by fear, bad decisions, so much suffering and devastating emotional consequences, top that with juggling a high responsibility management job, even though I survived, I became very ill.

For almost a year, no one knew what is wrong with me, I was called a liar because “I looked just fine”, I was misdiagnosed with various things and dodged by a whisker two operations (for the wrong things!!!), I reacted so severely to the medications I was being given, my body screaming for my TRUE attention at every step until finally the Crohn’s diagnosis came. I pieced together the puzzle that this has been going on throughout my life, starting after the rape I endured at 18, I just got used to ignore all the symptoms and so I pushed through. This time, things (and by things I mean my face and my blood tests) looked like out of a nightmare!

Life swept its rug from under my feet before. This time, the aftermath was different because I had more knowledge and the presence to ask myself the right kind of questions. I felt scared, yet empowered to go on, in the solid decision to choose life. My son deserved better and so did I! The right information and the right people came to me at the right time, supporting me at every step.

After a long time in and out of hospitals and countless blood tests (at some point my arms looked like a black and blue sieve!), I remember one day I headed towards the kitchen cabinet where I kept the prescribed medication and I was dreading to count the 21 pills I was told to take, and I said to myself “there’s got to be a better way than this”! After that, the a-ha moments started pouring in. I decided to try things I never did before and in spite being told by many doctors that I will be on pills and medical care for the rest of my life, I started getting better and better and eventually got discharged with a clean colonoscopy and perfectly healthy blood tests results.

And since I am already taking you through a journey of milestones that impacted my life, and trust me, this is as much healing for me to write as it is clarifying for you, let’s keep going! After all, you are on this page to figure out who I am, so you can decide whether to trust me with your own healing or if/what do we have in common and if to trust me at all!

I discovered Bowen and SCD nutrition in 2013, shortly after that moment where I reached towards the kitchen cabinet loaded with pills. As a client battling horrendous abdominal pains, diarrhoea, depression, exhaustion, I understood from the very first session that Bowen is different than anything I tried before. I had no idea what Australian witchcraft that Bowen was, but my body gained steadily more energy, my head became less foggy and more clear and I was in less pain in just a few sessions already.

I was so enthusiastic and impressed and through quite miraculous circumstances, I ended up studying Bowen, anatomy and physiology. I became a Bowen Therapist in November 2014 and finally left the corporate world and opened my own private holistic clinic in Manchester, UK. In 2015 I took my first course out of many with The National Institute for the Clinical Application of Behavioural Medicine (NICABM) discovering polyvagal theory which is very much at the core of my therapeutical approach in coaching and addressing my own mental and emotional health and started personal psychotherapy sessions, with Transactional Analysis, EMDR and EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique).

Even though Bowen Therapy has osteopathic principles, is unlike anything else out there: is not hard working like physiotherapy, is not forcefully manipulating like chiropractic and does not employ a constant touch like a massage. Considering all that, I had a desire to do right by this amazing hands-on technique that helped me no end! I wanted to find the right words and be more eloquent in promoting Bowen and letting people know who I am and what I can do for them, so I joined a local speaker’s club. 

Little did I know that in the process, I will end up becoming the President of one the oldest Speaking club’s in the UK, Bolton Speaking Club. What an adventure and what an honour that was!

With Bowen, the right nutrition and copious amounts of compassionate self-inquiry through therapy and coaching, I went from strength to strength! 

In 2016 I started working with Divine archetypes in the sense of reconnecting with my body and my sexuality, and I followed Jumana Sophia’s classes guiding me through womb cleansing and reconnecting with my feminine, creative power, finding a renewed sense of wholeness and healthy boundaries.

I started social dancing modern jive Ceroc and when in 2017 I found myself dancing for 7 hours straight in a weekend of social dancing event, I felt such a huge personal victory over that old diagnosis that predicted I would have low energy levels as a daily expectation and limited ability to do things in life! Yeah my feet hurt like any other dancer that night after 7 hours of non stop dancing, but I felt strong, vibrant and alive and my soul was dancing inside with joy!

In the process of this awakening to what true holistic health was, many things that weren’t aligned with who I was becoming, simply couldn’t endure. Sadly my marriage was one of them. To this day, we continue to co-parent our wonderful son and remain in a friendly mutually supportive relationship.

In time, I continued to focus on my individuation path. 

I still had many limitations about self worth, love, deserving, sexuality and relationships and mostly about accepting myself as I truly am. Practicing in various ways and exploring how to become whole in my integrity and Sovereign expression in this human lifetime, I reached a stage when I felt I embody my authentic Truth in my newly found and hard-earned emotional balance. I owned my desires, my flaws, my story and my limitations, my mistakes and my darkness as well as my unshakable faith in positive outcomes in life, my lofty visions of “Heaven on Earth”, feet firmly planted in the ground with my head up in the clouds. I started to feel what loving all of me feels like! 

Then… I met a most amazing man, on his own path to wholeness. 

We dedicated ourselves to create sacred space for honesty, accountability, and vulnerability and I am so grateful for the emotional healing we are co-creating. Our relationship has transformed over the years and the quality of our union created a new state of “connectedness” that none of us experienced before. This kind of magic helped him reach new heights of self-awareness and business success and helped me access my natural gifts of clairvoyance and clairsentience that I always had as a child but rejected or ignored for most of my life. Both of our souls are brighter, our hearts more open, our life force stronger than ever, and overall we are better human beings thanks to our friendship and relationship. 

In 2019, I had a profound shamanic experience during a womb healing ceremony, surrounded by wonderful women dedicated to their own healing too. I tapped into my pristine, unhurt, untouched, unspoiled personal power where God within, Christ consciousness resides. The serenity, Love and Trust that I found deep within, were magnificent to feel! That day I was given the name Sky and a new layer of my life as a woman and mother emerged from the ashes of who I used to be. 

As I continued to honour my Feminine and Masculine nature alike, my relationship with both my mother and my father stepped into new truths of how we relate to each other now as adults and how we can better integrate all our family history.

This was the year I heard my dad say “I love you” for the very first time in my life. That is also the year I got estranged from my younger sister for 5 years only to reconnect in 2025, with much tenderness and mutual understanding.  We are both gifted, wonderful women and mothers, with our own unique way in life and showing up in the world, healing our ancestry fabric and creating beautiful lives for our children.

I had been fascinated with esoteric systems like hermeticism, tarot reading and astrology since I was a teenager, and as a corporate manager I used MBTI and The Enneagram systems to create cohesive teams with better communication, enhanced productivity and jobs satisfaction, yet 2018 was the year I discovered Human Design and Gene Keys and my mind was blown! I didn’t start offering readings until 2020 when I felt I had a good grasp of its complexity and how this system works. Plus, I love testing out things for myself before dishing them out to others.

As I navigated the “plandemic” period, I felt that for me the only natural way to honour my reality is to honour deeply my authentic YES and NO. And it served me well. As a 5/1 Heretic Investigator Sacral Generator, I am here to speak my Truth with integrity and self-mastery in order to build this new world of awakened consciousness that is already upon us, that calls for different life values than the ones that have been guiding society until now. Needless to say that this got me to be lighter by a few friends as old connections dissolved and ended, making space for new wonderful ones to show up, more aligned with who I was becoming and the new healthy boundaries I set for myself.

Life always surprises me in the best possible ways and in 2019 a friend introduced me to an incredible neurotechnology aimed at supporting our brain and create health in ways one could only dream of a few years ago! Overnight I decided to meet the inventor in a presentation in London and I became part of the team who brought wearable neurotechnology from Canada to the UK in 2020, in divine timing just before the first lockdown! Now active in over 60 countries and patented in 186, Super Patch embodies my enthusiasm for prevention and optimal health in a way that is drug-free, non-invasive, no electricity and no magnets, working in perfect harmony with our bodies. The future is now, this is truly leading edge technology supporting our brain biology and they have supported me and my family and countless clients, in so many unexpected ways in the past 6 years! Oh, the stories I have, including an incredibly fast recovery from cyanide poisoning, avoiding hospitalisation, post op recoveries, sorting out aches and pains (migraines and period pains anyone??) like magic, gaining more strength, balance, and mobility while continuing to use them alongside all my tried and tested other tools and techniques.

All my life’s story and journey, brought me to a point where I feel a new purpose of bringing my story forward which prompts me to dive deeper into how I show up in the world and how I connect with others in my healing room and in life.

I have this knowing in my bones that I live with purpose and authenticity. I feel more capable, loving and lovable than ever and I’m here to share with others what’s possible! 

Ultimately this is the practical alchemy we all desire: turning the proverbial lead into gold; from darkness to light, from lemons to honey lemonade (a wonderful story of how God and I chilled together for a while)from obstacles to smooth roads that take us to purpose and meaning in life.

Currently, I am a Psychology and Counselling student with Arden University in Manchester doing my final year dissertation on the impact of alexithymia (the difficulty of identifying, experiencing and expressing emotions) in committed romantic relationships – a concept that has fascinated me for over a decade, while looking into how can language help us communicate with more grace about our internal states, creating connection with ourselves and others. (One of my delightful quirks is my curiosity about languages, etymology, and how can we create our reality with our words. I curated and cleaned up my language, substituting words that were not in alignment with the kind of life I want to experience, with beautiful, sacred, high vibration words with extraordinary results in my life and I teach that to my clients too!)

My academic journey offered me so much intellectual growth, allowed me to experience a different system, and offering me such clarity about where can I make the most positive difference through the work that I do.  In the process, I was gifted wonderful experiences connecting with beautiful people I could not have otherwise encounter. I am currently a committee member of the Transpersonal Psychology Section within British Psychological Society, and was part of the Integration Station team at the Eurotas International Transpersonal Conference in Oxford in 2024, facilitating compassionate and healing space for over 400 participants.

I am also a student member of The Society for The Exploration of Psychotherapy Integration (SEPI).

I have been co-creating sacred space for women to express and be witnessed in safe women circles since 2022.  

I am about to embark on a 9 months personal journey with HER Mystery School lead by Jumana Sophia, one of my first mentors, to deepen my spiritual practice and walk my soul path in impeccable company. (I registered for the 9 months course on the 999 portal 9.09.2025, after knowing Jumana for 9 years – divine serendipity indeed!)

I am counting my blessings in life everyday, embodying a gratitude attitude for the extraordinary experiences, beautiful privileges, health and prosperity that I am experiencing in my private life, in my clinic and in my social circles.

Through everything I experienced, learned, endured and integrated, I am here to pioneer in my own way, new ways of looking at what is possible in terms of deep healing and help people embody that in everyday life! 

If you are someone

– who has come so far through unspeakable pain and hardships, scarcity and limitations and seeks that next level in relationships and life,

– if you are in any kind of pain right now,

– or if you didn’t have major traumas but are searching for “more” out of life (more authenticity, more love, more freedom, more creativity, more bliss),

I am here to encourage you to believe in possibilities! 

Please trust that you are here to be unapologetically who you are and there are MANY ways to integrate your story and evolve beyond it, so you can love your life and live it well!

If you resonate with (parts of) my story and if you feel called to work with me, know that I am here to support your conscious process the best I can, to help you create your own bliss and if we click, there’s much magic we can co-create! 

Because a vital ingredient in healing is co-creation! 

Healing happens easier and faster, deeper and longer lasting when you are being heard, understood, witnessed, guided, supported, held.

Healing is relational.

And because I am convinced that the most adult drink to celebrate life with is water, I raise you a glass: here’s to a beautiful life, lived well in your full authentic, true nature!
