Her work moves beyond traditional coaching, bridging neuroscience, somatic healing, and energetic attunement to create profound transformation at every level of being. Through her high-touch, deeply intuitive approach, Silvia helps leaders reconnect to their inner coherence, the state where clarity, confidence, and authenticity naturally arise. Silvia is also the co-founder of Lead & Belong, a pioneering collaboration with writer and scholar Adrianne Arendse. Together, they explore the intersections of leadership, culture, and embodied healing, guiding organisations and individuals to move beyond performative inclusion toward genuine connection, collective wellbeing, and regenerative impact. At the heart of Silvia's work is a simple yet radical set of beliefs: that deep self-awareness is the path to true freedom, authentic belonging is what we all seek, and true power emerges when we self-lead from integrated wholeness rather than fragmentation. Her presence invites both safety and expansion, a rare balance that allows transformation to unfold not through force, but through resonance.

The two explore the line between what people think visualization is and what actually happens in the mind, while clarifying the roles of fantasy versus expectation and process versus outcome. In each episode of Neuroscience of Coaching, host Dr. Irena O’Brien explains the science-based insights behind a particular concept and interviews a coach to discuss how these apply in the real world. Just as she does in her professional programs, Irena “un-complicates” neuroscience and teaches practical, evidence-based tools and strategies that listeners can use in their coaching practices. “That’s another way that I think visualization can be very powerful… to help someone tap into that sense of what’s really possible for them.”— Jason Moss Guest Bio: Jason Moss is a multi-six-figure business coach. He leads a community of 20,000+ coaches online, and has helped thousands of coaches grow their businesses and sign more clients.

Jason’s been building businesses for nearly 20 years, and made his first sale online at 13. He’s a former Director of Sales who helped scale a multi-seven-figure coaching business, and his heart-centered view on marketing is a radical departure from the more typical overly aggressive marketing tactics taught today. Jason lives in Boulder, Colorado with his partner Kimberly, dog Boomer, and cat Zola. In his spare time, he enjoys hiking, travel, meditation, and pursuing personal growth.
