Sydney has been on a lifelong spiritual journey that began with noticing spirits as a child and beginning energy work practices as a teen to now offering spiritual mentorship sessions. Sydney continues to expand and grow in her spiritual practice and abilities via ongoing learning from several master teachers.
She respects everyone’s beliefs and practices and utilizes a values-based approach to help you grow in your spirituality in a way that aligns with your values and best supports you. These sessions are ideal for a person who may be new to spirituality and is looking to explore and grow in a loving and non-judgmental space.
Some common topics that come up in spiritual mentorship sessions are:
What is Reiki?
Reiki (pronounced “ray-key”) is an energy work technique for stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes healing. Originating in Japan, the word Reiki means spiritually guided life force energy. It helps a person’s natural ability to heal on the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual levels. Reiki is a simple, natural, and safe method that everyone can use.
What are the benefits of Reiki?
Reiki promotes healing and relaxation of the nervous system. It complements medical and all other healing methods. It can reduce stress, increase relaxation, improve mood, increase energy and vitality, relieve pain, help manifest goals, and enhance spirituality.
How does Reiki work?
The spiritually guided life force energy comes through the Reiki practitioner’s hands and into the body of the client. The energy goes exactly where it’s needed. This is similar to many spiritual traditions, which employ “laying on of hands”, although Reiki is not associated with any religion.
Reiki sessions are one hour. At the beginning of the session we will spend a few minutes
discussing your intention and goals for healing. At the end we will briefly discuss how you felt during the Reiki treatment and anything that Sydney noticed during the healing.
Sydney is a Reiki Master and was trained by Laura Schopen.

About
Sydney was trained as a past life regressionist by the Boulder Institute of Hypnotherapy. She will be starting the Institute's year long advanced regression hypnotherapist training program this November. Through these session many clients have been able to uncover information about their past lives that has contributed to their growth and healing in their current life.
How does a past life regression session work?
A past life regression session typically takes anywhere from 1-2 hours. For the duration of the regression there is the option to either sit/lay down on the couch as comfort is of utmost importance. Sydney will then guide you through a regression script, which sounds very similar to a guided meditation. This guided script is designed to calm the body and help the mind drop into a calm brainwave state so that the subconscious mind can be accessed. Virtual appointments are available as long as you have a comfortable space to relax where you will not be interrupted.
What if am not able to drop into the "trance" state needed for a regression?
About 10-20% of the population is not able to drop into the trance state needed to perform regression work. If this happens there are a variety of exercises that can be tried to assist with this. If those fail then the cost of the session will be dropped to a flat $100 for the time and Sydney will assist with providing guidance and resources for continued spiritual development and meditation practice.
Will I remember my session when it is finished?
Yes. This style of regression that is taught by the Boulder Institute of Hypnotherapy does not require the client to enter a trance state deep enough to forget their session.
