I accept the woman I am.
Not the polished version. All of her — the softness, the ambition, the mess, the power. Acceptance is not settling. It is where your strength stops leaking.
Transformational Coaching · Breathwork · Hypnotherapy
You attract the woman you are.So become her on purpose.
Not the woman you perform. Not the one who says yes to keep the peace. The one underneath — who knows exactly what she wants and has been waiting for permission to want it out loud.
I work with people who feel stuck in part of their life — their relationships, their work, or the whole of it — and guide them through changing it. Not by thinking harder about it, but by going to where it actually lives.
UK · Sweden · Online internationally
Say these out loud
The woman you are becoming already lives in you.
She is not a better version of you. She is the honest one — the one who stopped editing herself to be easier to love. This is how she sounds.
I am not too much. I have simply been around people who wanted less.
No is a full sentence.
Every no you say to what drains you is a yes to what you are building. You do not owe anyone an explanation for protecting your energy.
I choose who gets access to me.
Your time, your body, your attention, your love. These were never meant to be open to everyone. Choosing is not coldness — it is self-respect you can see.
I attract what I am.
So you stop trying to be chosen and start becoming the woman you would choose. The right people recognise her instantly. The wrong ones lose interest, which is the whole point.
I am allowed to want more.
More pleasure. More rest. More money. More truth. More touch. Wanting is not greed — it is the clearest instruction your body will ever give you.
I am building a life that is mine.
Not the one you inherited. Not the one that looks right from the outside. The one that feels like yours from the inside — and you are closer to it than you think.
"The woman who has everything you want already exists. She is you, further along. Your only job is to keep choosing her."
SylviaHow I work
You don't need another person telling you who you should become.
You already know how to push. How to achieve. How to hold it all together. My work is not another list of things to do better. It is space — real space — to hear what you already know.
Together we look at the beliefs and patterns that once kept you safe. We thank them. And we let them go. What is left is you, with nothing in the way.
And we bring your body in, because a truth you only understand is not yet a truth you live. Change becomes real the moment your body agrees with you.
Awareness is where change begins. Embodiment is where it becomes real.
How I work
Mind, heart and body.
Real change does not happen in one of those places alone. It happens when all three are finally in conversation with each other.
The whole of you
Three places at once
Root work, not surface work.

Honesty first
This work isn't right for everyone.
It may be right for you if
- You are ready to stop performing and start being met
- You have read it, reflected on it and understood it — and now you want to live it
- You are ready to bring your body into the work, not only your thinking
- You want space to hear yourself rather than instructions to follow
- You are willing to practise differently in real life, not only in sessions
It may not be right for you if
- You are in acute crisis or need clinical mental-health treatment — I will refer you
- You are looking for someone to change another person in your life
- You want a single weekend reset rather than sustained change
- You want advice and answers more than you want to hear your own

7 Days Back to Yourself
A free seven-day email journey. One email each day. One short practice. One question. One moment to turn your attention back towards yourself.
No pressure to change your life in seven days. Just seven invitations to begin listening.
How I work
My work is not standard coaching.It goes deeper than that.
I work with the whole of you — your mind, your heart and your body — because real transformation does not happen in one of those places alone. It happens when all three are in conversation with each other.
M
The Mind
Rewiring the beliefs that run beneath the surface.
The ones that say you are not enough. That you must earn love. That wanting things for yourself is selfish. That it is not safe to be fully seen.
Through guided visualisation, hypnotherapy, subconscious belief work and deep inquiry, we go to the root of what has been holding you — and we change it there, rather than managing it on the surface for another decade.
H
The Heart
Learning to feel, fully, without managing it.
To meet the younger part of you who made the rules you are still living by. To accept what has been. To forgive — yourself, other people, the way life unfolded. To love yourself at a depth you may never have allowed before, and to put down what you have been gripping for years.
This is where real freedom lives.
B
The Body
Because transformation is not an idea. It has to be felt.
Through breathwork, embodiment practices, somatic awareness, conscious movement and meditation, we bring the work all the way home — into your nervous system, your breath, your presence, your aliveness.
Insight alone changes very little. Insight that reaches the body changes everything.
I use guided meditation, visualisation, hypnotherapy, belief work, inner child work, emotional release, breathwork and conscious movement — woven together into a space that is fully held, fully safe and deeply personal.
This is not surface work. It is root work.
It has the potential to change not just how you feel, but who you know yourself to be.
Your body. Your emotions. Your boundaries. Your desires. Your voice. Your choices. Your life.
Come back to yourselfReady to begin?
You do not need to arrive with it worked out. Half of what we do in the first conversation is find the real question.
Working together
Four ways in.All of them start with a conversation.
A free conversation first, always. Then a single session, or a container of three or six months — whichever fits what you are actually here to change.
30 minutes · online · free
Free Discovery Conversation
Unhurried, and just the two of us.
We explore where you are right now, what is calling to you and what feels ready to shift. I will share a little about how I work and which of my offerings might actually suit you — including none of them, if that is the honest answer.
- Where you are right now
- What has been happening
- What feels ready to move
- Whether I am the right person for it
Nothing to prepare and nothing to prove. If it does not feel right, you will still leave with more clarity than you arrived with.
Free
90–120 minutes · online or in person
A Single Session
Sometimes one session moves what has not moved in years.
Not because the work is shallow, but because you are ready. We go beneath the surface — to the belief, the memory or the feeling that has quietly been running things — using whichever tools the moment asks for: breathwork, hypnotherapy, belief work, inner child work, movement or meditation.
- Find and begin to rewire a limiting belief
- Move through an emotional block — grief, anger, shame, fear
- Meet a younger part of you that has been waiting
- Get clear on a decision or a pattern you cannot break
You will leave lighter, clearer and more anchored in yourself and in what you want.
2,500 kr · approx. £190
3 months · 6 sessions · every two weeks
The Three-Month Container
This is where the change actually takes root.
One session can open something. Three months is where it holds. Six sessions, one every two weeks — enough space between them to live what we have opened, and enough continuity that you never have to start again from the beginning.
- 6 private sessions of 90–120 minutes, online or in person
- Support between sessions, so you are held throughout and not only in the room
- Personalised meditations and visualisations, made for you
- Breathwork, movement and inner work to use in your own time
If you are choosing between options, choose this one. Three months is the shortest container in which I see the work truly settle. 2,300 kr per session.
13,800 kr · approx. £1,050
6 months · 12 sessions · every two weeks
The Six-Month Container
For when you are changing the shape of your life.
Half a year of being accompanied. Twelve sessions is long enough to go through something properly — to find the pattern, understand where it came from, release what sits underneath it, and then practise living differently for long enough that the new way becomes yours.
- 12 private sessions of 90–120 minutes, online or in person
- Support between sessions across the whole six months
- Personalised meditations, visualisations and practices made for you
- Room to work across all of it — your life, your work, your relationships
Places are limited. I work with a small number of people at a time so each one has my full attention. 2,000 kr per session.
24,000 kr · approx. £1,820
Prices are shown in Swedish kronor with an approximate pound figure. The pound amount moves with the exchange rate — we confirm it on the call.
My promise
You will leave every session knowing something you didn't.
Not a vague sense that it was useful. Something specific — a belief you had never noticed, a feeling you had been carrying without naming, a piece of your story that explains more than you expected. That is what I hold myself to. Every time.
In person
When we bring in the body.
In-person sessions can include breathwork, movement and somatic practice as well as talking, because some things are held in the body and will not come out through conversation alone.
You stay clothed throughout. Nothing happens that you have not chosen. You can stop or change direction at any point without explaining yourself. Your pace and your boundaries lead the session, always.
Also
Groups, and what is coming.
Online · occasional
Group sessions
A few times a year I open a session to a small group online. Breathwork, a guided practice and a shared space — the same work, with the particular power of doing it alongside other people who are also willing to be honest.
From 2027
Retreats
I am building something longer and deeper — several days away, in person, with a small group. The first retreats open in 2027. If that is what you have been waiting for, put your name on the list and you will hear before anyone else.
After three or six months
What people describe afterwards.
In themselves
- A different relationship with themselves — more accepting, more trusting of their own knowing
- Patterns that shaped decades beginning to loosen
- The capacity to feel deeply without being overwhelmed by it
In their lives
- Being present in their body, sometimes for the first time in years
- Clearer boundaries, clearer choices, a clearer sense of what they want
- A life that begins to feel more authentic, and more theirs
A note on who I work with
Mostly women. Not only women.
Most of the people I work with are women, usually in their thirties and beyond, and that is who this website speaks to most directly. But I work with men too, in 1:1 sessions, and it is the same work. If you are reading this and wondering whether it is for you, book the conversation and we will find out together.
I also work with couples from time to time — on connection, communication, emotional safety and intimacy — where it feels right for both of you and for me. There is nothing to book for that. Write to me, tell me where the two of you are, and I will tell you honestly whether I am the right person for it.
Not sure which one?
You do not have to decide alone.
Book the free conversation and we will work it out together. If I do not think you need six months, I will not recommend six months. And if I do not believe I am the right person to support you, I will tell you that too.
Questions
Before you book
Which one should I start with?
The free conversation, almost always. A single session suits one clear thing that has been stuck. Three months is where most people find the change actually holds. Six months is for when you are reshaping more than one part of your life at once.
How often are sessions?
Every two weeks. That rhythm matters — close enough together that we keep momentum, far enough apart that you have real life in between to practise in. The work happens in the fortnight as much as in the room.
Do I need to have done coaching before?
No. You do not need experience with coaching, breathwork or inner work. We begin wherever you are.
What is the hypnotherapy like?
Nothing like the version on television. You are not unconscious and you are not under anyone's control. You stay aware the whole time, simply in a deeply relaxed state where the part of your mind that argues and defends gets to rest — which is often when something you have been protecting finally comes into view.
You remember what happens, and you can open your eyes and stop at any point.
What is inner child work?
It is meeting the part of you that formed a belief long before you had any say in it — the part that decided it was safer to be good, or quiet, or useful. We meet her, we listen to her, and we give her what she did not get. It sounds gentle. It is often the most powerful hour of the whole process.
Is this therapy?
No. This is a coaching and personal-development process. It is not psychotherapy, psychiatric care or medical treatment, and I do not diagnose or treat mental-health conditions.
If you are experiencing significant psychological distress or require clinical trauma treatment, therapy or medical support may be more appropriate.
What happens in an in-person session?
We work with breath, movement, sound and guided practice as well as talking. You stay clothed throughout. Nothing happens that you have not chosen, and you can stop or change direction at any point without explaining yourself.
Sessions are held in a private space, and everything that happens there is confidential.
Do you work with men?
Yes, in 1:1 sessions. Most of my clients are women and the website reflects that, but the work itself does not change. The circles and women's groups are for women only.
Do I need to tell you everything about my past?
No. You are always in choice about what you share. We may explore where patterns originated when it feels useful, but you do not need to disclose every detail of your history in order to work with me.
Will we talk about trauma?
We may explore how past experiences have influenced present-day patterns, behaviours and nervous-system responses. However, I do not position my work as deep clinical trauma treatment. Where specialist trauma or mental-health support is needed, I encourage working with an appropriately qualified professional.
Is the work spiritual?
It can be if spirituality is meaningful to you, but it does not need to be. My work can include embodiment, intuition, presence and deeper self-exploration without requiring you to subscribe to a particular spiritual belief system.
Is Tantra part of the coaching?
My training in Tantra informs aspects of how I understand embodiment, connection, intimacy and presence, but this is not a Tantra programme. You do not need any interest or experience in Tantra to work with me.
Do you work online?
Yes. Everything can be done online over Zoom, anywhere in the world. In person, I work in Sweden and in the UK.
What happens between sessions?
Depending on what we are exploring, you may receive journal prompts, embodiment practices, breathwork, reflection questions, boundary or communication exercises, real-life experiments and personalised integration practices.
The purpose is not to give you homework for the sake of being busy. The practices are there to help bring the work into your actual life.
Can I pay in instalments?
Ask me on the call. I would rather agree something that works for you than have money be the reason you do not start.
About me
I work with women who are waking up to themselves.
Women who have spent years being strong, capable and endlessly giving — and who are beginning to sense that there is more of themselves waiting to be lived.
Women who are ready to stop saying no to themselves. To stop shrinking. To stop waiting. Women who are ready to choose themselves, perhaps for the very first time.
My story
I know that woman. I was her.
For years I built. I achieved. I pushed forward. I built businesses, worked across continents, held everything together — and I looked completely fine from the outside.
But underneath it, I was disconnected from myself in ways I could not even name. I had learned, very well, how to perform a life. How to be what everyone needed. How to keep moving so that I never had to feel what was actually there.
Until I could not any more.
Life brought me to a place where I had to stop. To go inward. To begin asking the questions I had been running from. Who am I beneath all the doing? What do I actually want? What have I been carrying that was never mine to carry? What would it mean to truly love myself?
That journey changed everything. Through deep inner work, retreats, embodiment practices, breathwork and learning to listen to my body rather than override it, I began to come back to myself. Not to a fixed, finished version — but to something alive. Present. Real.
I became a mother. I kept healing. I trained in transformational coaching and embodiment, and most recently travelled to Bali to train as a tantra facilitator — deepening my understanding of what it means to be fully alive in a body, to honour desire, to be genuinely present.
Everything I have learned, I bring into the space I hold for you.
Coming back to yourself is not a destination. It is a relationship you keep building.
That is my story. I would like to hear yours.
Not the tidy version. The one you would tell a friend.
Training & experience
Frameworks, and lived experience.
My work brings together transformational coaching with nervous-system awareness, somatic and body-led practices, embodiment, breathwork, movement and emotional exploration.
I've separated these deliberately. Training is what I've been certified in. Facilitation is where I've held space alongside others. The rest is the work I've done on myself. They are different things, and I think you deserve to know which is which.

Where I trained
Where I've supported
Logos say where I trained and where I've held space. They do not imply endorsement.
My own work
I have been on the other side of the room.
Everything I offer, I have received first. I have sat in the circles. I have been the woman who did not want to speak on the first evening and could not stop by the third. I still go to retreats, and I am still doing my own work — not because it is finished, but because it isn't.
I don't believe you can hold a room you have never sat in.
Alongside formal training, I bring lived experience as a business owner, leader, mother and woman who has navigated profound personal change. I believe both matter. Training gives us frameworks. Life teaches us humanity. My intention is to bring both into the room.
How I work
Our sessions are collaborative.
We may talk. We may pause. We may work with breath. We may notice what is happening in your body. We may explore a belief or an old pattern. We may practise a boundary. We may work with movement, emotion or expression.
Sometimes the most important moment in a session is a breakthrough. Sometimes it is simply allowing yourself to say something you have never said aloud.
I work with warmth, honesty and curiosity. There is no expectation that you arrive with all the answers. There is also no pressure to perform transformation. This work is not about fixing you. It is about becoming increasingly honest about what is true — and developing the capacity to live from that place.
Coming back to yourself is not a destination. It is a relationship you continue building.
Where I work
Between the UK and Sweden.
Private coaching is available internationally online via Zoom. Selected embodiment and body-led sessions may also be offered in person depending on location and availability.
Online work is not simply a substitute for in-person coaching. There can be something powerful about learning to reconnect with yourself within your own environment — the place where your real-life patterns and relationships actually happen.
Most of the people I work with are women. I also work with men in 1:1 sessions, and from time to time with couples — on connection, communication, emotional safety and intimacy. The circles and women's groups remain for women only.
A note about this work
Sylvia Liu Coaching provides coaching, embodiment and personal-development services. These services are not a substitute for psychotherapy, psychiatric treatment, medical care or other regulated healthcare services. No diagnosis, cure or guaranteed outcome is offered.
If you are currently experiencing a mental-health crisis, significant psychological distress or symptoms requiring clinical support, please seek assistance from an appropriately qualified healthcare professional.
Participation in coaching and embodiment practices is always voluntary, and clients remain responsible for their own choices and wellbeing.
Why me
I am not teaching you something I have not lived.
I have done this work on myself. Not once, and not quickly. And I live the thing most of my clients are reaching for — freedom in how I express myself, a relationship that is honest, three children, a life that is actually mine rather than one I assembled from other people's expectations.
What people tell me most often afterwards is that they felt completely safe, and not once judged. Whatever you bring, I have either been there myself or sat with someone who has.
And here is what I hold myself to: in every session, you become aware of something that was not in your consciousness before. A belief. A feeling. A memory. Something that has been quietly holding you. Every time.
The invitation
You are welcome here.
Today I work with people across the UK, Sweden and worldwide, guiding them back to themselves through this depth of work.
If something in you is ready, if you can feel the woman you are becoming pulling at you and asking for more room, I would love to be part of that journey.
With love, Sylvia
Free · nothing to give me
Breathe with me.The body is where it begins.
Choose a pattern. Follow the circle — expand as it grows, release as it falls. Turn the sound on if it helps. Do not force the breath. Simply allow the exhale to become slightly longer.
Ready
Sound begins when you press Begin. Headphones make the breath easier to follow.
Before anything changes, notice what is happening in your body.
This is Day One.
The breath you just took is the first practice of 7 Days Back to Yourself — a free seven-day journey.
Free seven-day journey
7 Days Backto Yourself.
One email each day. One short practice. One question. One moment to turn your attention back towards yourself.
No pressure to change your life in seven days. Just seven invitations to begin listening.
Day 1
Regulate
Before anything changes, notice what is happening in your body. Today's invitation is to slow down long enough to recognise how much you may be holding.
Practice — Breathe in gently for four counts. Exhale for six to eight. Repeat five times. Do not force the breath.
Where in my body do I feel the effort of holding everything together?
Day 2
Excavate
Every pattern has a history. What you call people-pleasing, over-giving, perfectionism or control may once have helped you feel safe, valued, useful or loved.
When did I first learn that I needed to be this way?
Day 3
Connect
Before asking what you should do next, ask yourself what you feel.
What have I been feeling that I haven't given myself permission to acknowledge?
Day 4
Liberate
Not everything you carry belongs in the life you are creating now.
What am I tired of carrying?
Day 5
Align
If nobody else had an opinion, what would you want?
What do I genuinely want more of in my life?
Day 6
Inhabit
You don't need to wait until you feel completely confident before behaving differently.
What would change if I trusted myself 10% more?
Day 7
Move
Awareness becomes powerful when it changes something in real life.
What is one small choice I can make this week that feels more like me?
Begin on Monday, or begin today.
Coming back to yourself doesn't happen in seven days. But it can begin with one honest moment.
Leave whenever you like.

How I look after your information.
Short, plain and honest. If anything here is unclear, write to me and I will explain it.
Who is responsible
Sylvia Liu Coaching is the data controller for the information collected through this website. You can reach me on WhatsApp at +44 7914 420554, on Instagram at @sylvialius, or by replying to any email I send you.
What I collect, and why
If you enter your email address in one of the forms on this site, I collect that address — and, for the circle list, the city you name — so that I can send you what you asked for: the seven-day email series, or dates for the circles. That is the only reason I hold it.
If you book a conversation, the booking is handled by Calendly, and the name, email address and answers you give go to Calendly and into my calendar so that the appointment can happen.
I do not sell your information, I do not share it for advertising, and I do not pass it to anyone who is not helping me run this website or my practice.
Who processes it for me
This website is hosted by Netlify, and the form submissions are stored there. Bookings are handled by Calendly. Both are established providers with their own privacy terms, and both may store data outside the UK and the EU under standard contractual safeguards.
Cookies
This website sets no analytics, advertising or tracking cookies of its own. The booking calendar on the booking page is embedded from Calendly, and Calendly sets its own cookies when that calendar loads, so that your booking works. If you would rather not load it, simply do not visit that page — or use the button to open Calendly in a new tab instead.
How long I keep it
I keep your email address for as long as you want to hear from me. Every email I send has an unsubscribe link, and you can also simply reply and ask me to remove you. I will do it the same week, and I will not ask you why.
Your rights
Under UK and EU data protection law you can ask me for a copy of what I hold about you, ask me to correct it, ask me to delete it, or object to how I am using it. Write to me and I will answer within a month. If you are not satisfied with my answer, you can complain to the Information Commissioner's Office at ico.org.uk.
What we talk about stays between us
Anything you share in a session or a circle is confidential. The only exceptions are the ones the law requires of me: where there is a serious risk of harm to you or to someone else, or where I am legally compelled to disclose. If that ever arose, I would talk to you about it first wherever it was safe to do so.

In person · Stockholm & London
Women's circles.Come as you are.
There is something that happens when women sit in a room together and stop performing. The shoulders drop. The breath goes deeper. The story you have been carrying alone turns out to be a story many of us know.
That is what a circle is for.
You do not have to arrive healed, articulate or ready. You only have to arrive.
Two to three hours, once a monthWhat happens in the room
Not a workshop. A homecoming.
We open
Arriving
Cacao, candlelight and a few minutes of breath to let your nervous system understand that nothing is being asked of you here. Then we go around the circle, and each woman says where she actually is — not where she thinks she should be.
We move
Releasing
Guided breathwork, free movement, sound. Whatever has been sitting in your chest or your hips or your throat gets permission to move. Some women cry. Some women shake. Some women laugh until they cannot stand up. All of it is welcome.
We land
Integrating
A visualisation, a journal prompt and a closing round. You leave with one honest thing you are taking home with you, and the knowledge that eleven other women are holding it with you.
Dates
Where and when.
Circles run monthly in Stockholm and a few times a year in London. Groups stay small on purpose — twelve women at most, so that everyone gets time and nobody disappears.
Stockholm
Monthly, from October 2026
Held in a private space in central Stockholm, in Swedish and English. Dates for the autumn are being confirmed now — join the list below and you will be the first to hear, with first refusal on a place before the circle is opened publicly.
London
A few times a year
When I am back in the UK I hold a circle in London. These tend to fill from the list alone, so if London is your city, say so when you sign up and I will let you know as soon as a date is set.
Be in the room.
Leave your email and I will write to you with dates, locations and how to hold your place. No noise in between — only the circles.
Your email stays with me and you can leave the list whenever you like.
Moments
Rooms where this work happens.
Trainings, retreats, circles and the spaces I have been lucky enough to hold.
Your turn.
Every one of these rooms began with one woman deciding she had carried it alone for long enough.
A conversation, not a sales pitch
Let's talk.Bring the thing you can't quite name.
If something on this website has resonated with you, the next step is a private conversation. There is no obligation to enrol.
We'll talk about
- Where you are now
- What has been happening
- What you would like to change
- What kind of support you may need
- Whether this feels like the right fit
This conversation is also an opportunity for me to decide whether I believe I am the right person to support you. If I believe another type of professional support would be more appropriate, I will say so.
Or pick a time right here
Sessions available in Swedish and English.
