Holistic Life Mentoring:

"I myself am a physician and a psychotherapist and I would have never thought that mentoring by phone could be equally effective and healing, as in personal contact. Siljoy is an especially gifted Mentor, with a very big heart...she also became a great role model for me professionally.”

E.S. MD, 36 yrs, Germany 2012

“You have been a great help to me and, I am sure, to many others. You have been instrumental in assisting me towards overcoming my personal obstacles. I have obtained many tools and resources to utilize, during personal crisis, through your tutelage. I commend you for your efforts and thank you for your patience and precious time. I want to recognize you for your skills and devotion towards your profession.
I hope you recognize how important your efforts are to so many people; many lives benefit from your endeavors.”

"When I learned that I had a brain tumor and would need surgery, my sister gifted me with an hour with Siljoy.  That began a relationship that helped me navigate the challenges of recovery.  With Siljoy’s support and my positive attitude, I was able to successfully move forward with healing from the surgery and some long-term issues.  I am grateful to be alive and grateful for Siljoy’s skilled and caring mentoring."

Laila Corbin, WA 2011

Holistic Phone Mentoring:
"Every time I talked with [Siljoy] I could feel myself take a step forward out of the ‘stuck” place. It was a relief and a breath of fresh air. ...

"Siljoy has been a wonderful guide and support person. I was at a crossroads with my infertility journey. I needed someone to talk with that truly understood my pain. I was searching on the Internet one night for some kind of support and Siljoy's article - Empty Arms - Dealing with the Pain of Involuntary Childlessness caught my attention. I read it and knew that she truly understood! My only concern was that her practice was in California and I live in Illinois. I emailed her. We scheduled a free phone session. I was unsure at first about doing phone sessions. After talking with her I knew it was right. The sessions have become invaluable. I have found happiness again in my life. I am peaceful and whole once again and healthier then ever because of Siljoy's wisdom and compassion. I cannot thank her enough."

Supporting the Experience of Involuntary Childlessness:
"I started to see Siljoy after many failed infertility interventions that included two miscarriages.  I felt as if I had lost myself.  The worst part for me was a sense of loneliness.  I didn't feel as if I had any support or anyone to talk to.  Siljoy provided me with a nonjudgmental, sympathetic outlet for all the baggage that I was carrying around each day.  I would feel lighter after each session.  I wasn't alone in this experience anymore! 

I would recommend Siljoy to anyone experiencing infertility.  She brings experience and expertise to her practice that is hard to find."

DB, Tucson, AZ, 2011

"I found Siljoy while searching on the web for others struggling with childlessness. A woman recommended Siljoy. I contacted her after realizing how stuck in this pain I really was. The pain was so deep and vast, it colored everything I did and felt. I felt it would always be there, but I also felt I had no one to let it out to. Everyone in my life had children, it seemed. I began to feel I had ‘failed life’.

I was hesitant at first. I too had tried conventional therapy. It seemed painfully slow and did not help this issue. After my first talk with Siljoy, I felt something move. In the very depth of my despair over this issue. ...I felt...less stuck...I remember feeling surprised. I agreed to further telephone sessions. The next session, again, more movement , I took a step forward . It felt like a solid step too. A good solid step forward. Here was a person taking my hand, and gently leading me out of the dark, sad place I had exiled myself to. I did not think it possible. She has given me surprisingly simple but effective tools to look at things in a new way. Each session was now a step up and out of the darkness, into a much brighter and more interesting life.

I so vividly remember sitting on the floor looking out the window, talking with Siljoy, tears streaming down my face, watching the sun and wind in the leaves, and also feeling that fresh air and sunshine now entering my soul. My life now felt more like an onion, with many many layers. There was much more light, layers, interests, and a feeling of connectedness in my life. No longer feeling isolated, and sad.

I felt my old playful self return, but this time, wiser, kinder, and much more connected to life and all of her mysteries. I can not explain in words how good it felt, and feels. I now honor this part of my life, it no longer controls my life. My life is as rich and interesting as I wish it to be. Siljoy, I so want to thank you for this."
Becky, 58, Afton MN

Embody your Potential - Groups:
"The Embody Your Potential class came to me at just the right time. Siljoy created a sacred and encouraging environment for us to reach into, open up our hearts and go to places that we may not have been able to enter without that safety............. It allowed me to focus on my inner self and to bring issues to the surface that needed to be addressed. If you have a need to tap into your soul, you will be guided to this class.............there are no coincidences!!!"
Nadine Ceyer, Carmel, CA

"Siljoy's group was just what I needed at the time I took 'Embody Your Potential'. I loved starting with her very special meditations. I appreciated the small group where I felt protected to say whatever I wanted to say and show any feelings that I was feeling at the time. A protective atmosphere is very important and Siljoy certainly provided it. Now, I do listen to my Wise Woman self and remember so many of our fulfilling times together. Thanks Siljoy."
