Private Sessions

Greetings ! Are you.............

Seeking greater peace and balance in your life?
Committed to walking your spiritual path?
Desiring personal guidance and insight?

If you made it to this place, I imagine you are the kind of person who is committed to personal growth. You'd like to do what you can to awaken the highest potential of what your life can be. You understand that having great support is an important part of self care.

We do as much of our inner work on our own as we can.

But sometimes we need some help because

the way is not opening as easily as we'd like.

*Do you have old negative patterns and experiences that are subtly (or not so subtly) getting in the way of your ability to create the life you want?

*Do you have a hard time staying aligned with yourself when faced with the needs and pressures of the people around you?

*Are your worries and stresses getting in the way of your bliss?

*Have you been feeling low, and you aren't even sure why?

*Would you like to feel healthier and more attuned to the needs of your body and soul?


I have been helping people to identify and solve their problems for the last 22 years.  It is my honor and my joy to help people along on their path to healing and fulfillment.


It is so satisfying to know a person is feeling more energized about where they are headed, happier in their work and relationships, or more at ease in their body and mind after our work together. When you love your soul work, something miraculous happens.

I get to see miracles with a wonderful frequency in my work...
miracles of the body, mind, emotions and spirit.

I recently had my first session with Sylvia after studying with her for almost a year. We TALK about spirit, magic and transformation but when it HAPPENS to you, it’s different. Sylvia opens a door and allows you to walk through it, to find the magic. She guides you with love and her vast knowledge. After the session I could take a deep breath. Before that I hadn’t known that I wasn’t able to breathe!
It was truly a life changing event."

It's impossible to describe my expanded world, my joy, the peace of mind, my lovely flat tummy, my straight posture, my new focus, my incredible renewed energy and vitality, my groundedness, my ballet teacher's surprise when she saw me able to perform all the exercises I have not been able to do for the last 20 years!! The tumor is gone. I do not know how to thank you enough. I love you and send you all joy and beauty.

I know what it's like. I've been there.

I have had my own share of personal challenges including major illness, trauma, loss and other hard times. These trials have made me stronger and wiser. They have taught me compassion for the hardships of others.

It is said that a tree that has not been exposed to the wind becomes weak and brittle. Sometimes the winds of life blow hard, testing the very fiber of who we are. We can rise to the challenge, or allow ourselves to feel broken by difficulties.

If the winds of change are blowing in your life,
I'd like to help you weather them with wisdom, ease, humor and grace.

I have been trained in many healing modalities including: Spiritual Counseling,
Hypnotherapy, Nationally Certified massage therapist, Reiki Master,
Shamanic Healer, Breath Work facilitator and Kriya Yoga instructor.

Every person is unique, and their needs are all unique as well. Having a really big "tool box" to work with means I can tailor what I do to exactly what a person  needs instead of fitting them in the "box" of one particular modality.

I feel the biggest transformations I see come
from the sharing of my greatest assets:


My ability to listen deeply not only to the mind, but the soul of a person.
My ability to be kind, compassionate and utterly truthful.
My wacky sense of humor.

How Does a Session Work?


People call me to either set up sessions in person in my office in the mountains near Santa Cruz, or contact me to do a telephone session if they live at a distance.

In a session, we start by identifying the problems you are experiencing and the change you are seeking in your life on physical, emotional, mental and spiritual levels.

If you are in my office, I would then have you lie down and relax on my massage table. If you are on the phone, you'd sit or lie down comfortably in your home to receive the session. Then I would lay my hands over your body's energy centers (the chakras) or over any areas where you are experiencing physical discomfort in order to assess what is going on and report back on what I perceive. I call this body mapping.

Body mapping.charts the relationship between physical sensations and beliefs, emotional states and energies that affect your over all state of health and well being. I can offer the body mapping even if you are at a distance.

Some people would call this a "psychic reading" of the energy body.The way think of it, information derived from body mapping comes from combination of logical thinking, a knack for piecing together the puzzle of the human psyche, an awareness of subtlety, as well as my well developed intuiitive abilities. I don't care which direction the information comes from... what I care most about is accuracy and effectiveness.

Once I've shared and confirmed my perceptions with you, it's time to start switching up some of those unresolved energies and issues for some powerful positive breakthroughs!

The work is likely to include some sort of energy healing work combined with hypnotherapy. It may also include shamanic healing, breath work, guided imagery or massage.

This transformational work is co-creative.
You are an active participant in the work,
empowered to be the inspired author of your life.

At the end of the session, I always do a little recap of what we learned, and give simple instructions of  things you can do to further these changes on your own. These are usually involve simple awareness based exercises or meditations that you can do during the course of your day that are effective yet easy to do.

Please note that while I do teach tantra, I do not offer sexual or sensually oriented private sessions. I can help you with issues you are having related to sexuality through instruction and counseling, but I never
offer explicit work.
 
 Some people come only when they are in crisis, some come every few weeks or months to keep their growth moving along, and some come more frequently because they are ready to really make a BIG shift!

A session lasts an hour and a half. When I work with someone, I want to know they are leaving with something truly meaningful. That amount of time pretty much assures I can get you there and integrated in your new way of being pretty well.

I can't tell you how many people have told me, "I did therapy for years with very little success, but you got to the heart of the matter right away and helped me to shift it in a just a few sessions!"

The way I look at it, talk therapy is some times the "trickle down economics of healing." You HOPE it trickles down from your head to your psyche, but it doesn't always work that way. When you work directly with the body- mind as I do, big changes often come fast!

"Sylvia Brallier is, hands down, one of the most gifted healers I have ever met in twenty five years in the mental health field. She has the uncanny knack of knowing just what her clients need within minutes during their first visit. She works with compassion, thorough explanations of what she's doing, and is able to bring together healing techniques from a variety of traditions worldwide. If the mental health care field was ever to package her skills, health insurance premiums would plummet. After having an individual session with Sylvia, you feel like you've just experienced the most fantastic weeks vacation you could ever imagine! She has impacted my life in an incredible way and I am truly grateful and honored that our paths have crossed. "
