Something shifted. You can't explain it. And you haven't felt grounded since.
Maybe it was a psychedelic journey, a kundalini opening, a retreat, or someone who turned your whole world upside down. Since then you can't sleep properly, you can't switch off, and you don't feel like yourself. And when you try to explain it, people look at you like something is wrong. I'm Silvia. I've been exactly there, and I'd love to help you find your feet again.

You can't explain what's happening to you, and that makes it even harder.
Maybe your body won't calm down. A buzzing, heat, energy running through you that you can't describe without sounding strange. Maybe you haven't slept properly in weeks. Maybe noise, crowds or certain people are suddenly too much, like you feel everything at once.
Some days it's beautiful. You feel connected, alive, like you finally see clearly. Other days you're anxious, shaky and completely drained.
You've probably stopped telling people. The one time you tried, they looked at you like something was wrong, or like they were worried about you. So now you carry it alone and search the internet at 3am, hoping someone has written down exactly what you feel.
And somewhere there's a question you barely dare to ask: is this a spiritual awakening, or do I need help?
I asked myself the same thing, in the middle of the night. You don't have to figure it out alone.
What if nothing is wrong with you?
What if you're not broken, but becoming more yourself?
I don't start with theories about what happened to you. I start with your body. When your body feels a little safer, you can finally look at what's going on instead of just surviving it. It doesn't make the hard stuff disappear. But you don't have to hold it all alone anymore.
I'm a guide, not a guru
I won't tell you what your experience means. I won't give you a new belief system to replace the one that just fell apart. And I don't want you to need me forever. I want you to trust yourself again.
I can't promise to take the pain away. What I can do is walk next to you while you go through it, and help you feel steadier along the way. I know it's possible, because I did it myself, more than once. I was down so many times, and I always stood up again.
The After Awakening Method
Five steps I go through with people, in a different order and depth for everyone. They come from my own journey and from my coaching.
Ground
First, feel safe in your body again. We start with your body, before your story.
Explore
Slow down. You don't have to explain it yet, and you don't need the right words.
Discover
This is where things click. I ask the questions, you find the answers.
Embody
Insight alone doesn't change your life. We bring it into your boundaries, your habits and your everyday days.
Trust
Not "I have it all figured out", but "I trust myself to figure it out."
It's not a straight line. Most people go through these steps more than once, a little deeper each time. That's normal. You're not doing it wrong.
I won't tell you which way to go. I'll walk with you until you trust your own steps again.
Come and join me, for free
Every Saturday at 9am Vienna time I meet people online for a free 45-minute circle. It's for anyone who's been through an awakening, a psychedelic journey, a retreat or a heartbreak that turned their life upside down. We check in, do a simple practice together (breathing, a body scan or sitting quietly), and then there's time for questions, or just listening. No sales pitch. You don't have to talk, and your camera can stay off.
To join, send me a message on WhatsApp and I'll add you to the group. I share the link there every week. I'd love to see you.
The 4-Week Anchor
One-to-one support after an awakening or psychedelic experience
If everything feels like too much right now, this is where I'd start with you. For four weeks we go slowly. First your body, so you can breathe and sleep again. Then, step by step, what happened and what it means for you, in your words, not mine.
What you get
- — A 60-minute first session online, where I get to know you and what happened, and we find your first grounding practice together
- — Three weekly 30-minute sessions online
- —WhatsApp support between our sessions, and I always reply within 48 hours
- —A simple workbook to walk you through the weeks
Where you'll be by the end
Four weeks won't make it all disappear, and I won't pretend otherwise. But you'll have a daily practice that settles your body, a way to stay with yourself instead of being swept under, more clarity about what's happening — and a sense of what comes next.
My promise to you
If after two weeks it doesn't feel right, tell me and I'll refund your remaining sessions. No hard feelings.
A quiet noteWhatsApp is for support between our sessions, not emergencies. If you're in crisis, please contact a crisis line or emergency services.
Want to go deeper? The 12-Week Journey
When you feel steadier and ask yourself "now what?", we go through the whole method together: your patterns, your boundaries, your gut feeling, and a life that fits who you are now. You won't have all the answers at the end, but you'll trust yourself to meet what comes. Ask me about it on our call.

I've been where you are
I'm Silvia. I was depressed for most of my life. Everything was hard for me, even though I always had everything. It never made sense.
Six years ago I found out I'm an alone-born twin, and my awakening started. Since then I've lived partly in Tanzania and partly in Austria. I trained as a coach and finished my ICF accreditation. I started my own psychedelic journeys to find out why I was so down. Then a relationship became the biggest mirror of my life and showed me how afraid I was of being alone. In September I did a 10-day Vipassana retreat in India, and that opened my eyes even more.
Some of it was beautiful. Some of it was really hard. And every time I did the same thing: I looked outside myself, at books, videos, forums, what other people said. What I was really looking for was someone who understood me and could just say, "You're not crazy." But nobody could hand me the answer, because it was already in me.
That's what I want to help you find. Not a new belief system, and not my version of who you should be. Just your own way back to yourself.
I'm not perfect, and I'm not a perfect meditator. The depression still comes back sometimes. But I always stood up again, and I'd love to walk with you.

From my early coaching clients
Silvia is a warm and insightful coach. Our sessions provided me with valuable new perspectives and practical tools that I can use to navigate my challenges. I highly recommend her to anyone seeking guidance and support on their personal journey.
Anni-MariShe asks the right questions, the ones that go deep, the ones I was afraid to ask myself. She helped me see my own truth and gave me the courage to honor it.
RenjitaI didn't like myself. I was always trying to hide, to make myself smaller. Working with Silvia, we uncovered the root — a comment my father made when I was young that I'd carried my whole life. Through inner child work, I finally healed it. Now I trust my gut instincts again. I've learned to listen to the signs of my body and set boundaries without guilt. I actually enjoy spending time with myself. Thank you, Silvia, for helping me find myself again and learn to be proud of who I am.

You might recognise yourself here.
This is for you if you've had a psychedelic journey, a meditation retreat, a kundalini awakening, a near-death experience, a spiritual crisis, or a relationship that cracked something open — and since then, nothing's felt quite the same.
- —If your body won't settle.
- —If you've quietly stopped trying to explain it to people who don't get it.
- —If some part of you isn't sure whether you're falling apart or finally waking up.
You might be in the right place.
One honest thing
If you're in a mental health crisis, having thoughts of harming yourself, or losing touch with reality, please contact a doctor, therapist, crisis line, or emergency service first. You deserve immediate, qualified support. I'd be glad to be here once you feel steadier.
A few things people often ask.
No, and I'm not a doctor either. I'm a coach. I offer practical, one-to-one support to help you settle your body, make sense of what happened, and move forward with more trust in yourself. If you have a therapist or doctor, I'm happy to work alongside them.
A note on safety: if you're in crisis, having thoughts of harming yourself, or feel unsafe right now, please reach out to a crisis line or emergency services in your country first — this work is not equipped to hold that, and you deserve immediate, qualified support. Once you're safe and steady, I'm here.
It's the process of making sense of a psychedelic experience and bringing it into your daily life — the emotions, insights, and body sensations that can come up afterwards. The same idea can support any experience that shakes you, including an awakening or retreat. I don't provide or encourage the use of psychedelics; I support people after experiences they have already had.
Honestly, it can be hard to tell, and I can't diagnose anything. If you're not sleeping, feel unsafe, or are losing touch with reality, please see a doctor or therapist first. If you're getting through your days but feel unmoored, I'd be glad to help you find your footing.
You don't need to be sure. You don't even need a name for what happened to you yet. If your body hasn't felt steady in a while, if you've quietly stopped trying to explain it to people who don't get it, or if something in you just says this needs to shift — that's enough to start with. Book a free 30-minute call. No pressure, no pitch. We'll talk, and afterwards you'll know whether it feels right.
Four weeks won't make everything disappear, and I won't pretend otherwise. If after two weeks it doesn't feel right, tell me and I'll refund your remaining sessions — no hard feelings. And if you'd like to keep going afterwards, the 12-Week Journey is there.
Many people feel significantly calmer by the end. If you'd like to keep going, the 12-Week Journey is there — no pressure, we'll figure out together what's right for you.
That kind of separation can crack you open just as deeply as any other awakening experience — and I know this firsthand, because I've walked that path myself. If that's where you are, The Return is a 7-day guided program built specifically for that kind of loss.

You don't have to figure this out alone
I'm not here to get you to the other side as fast as possible. I'm here so you don't have to go through it alone. Whatever happened, there is a way forward, and I'd love to walk it with you.
