“I am a lover and a romantic, a fool and a sage, a free spirit with the heart of a child.”
About Silja
Trauma-informed & certified Embodiment Coach and Authentic Relating Facilitator
Hello! I'm Silja, a global entrepreneur dedicated to fostering profound connections. I guide individuals in breaking free from social anxiety, embracing their true selves, and cherishing genuine interactions.
By seamlessly integrating rational thinking with physical sensations, I simplify complex ideas. Through my coaching, retreats, and workshops, attendees master tough conversations, nurture intimacy in relationships, and find their true selves in the company of others.
My Personal Journey
Growing up, I grappled with intense social anxiety. Deep connections eluded me; fear often overshadowed the desire for genuine bonds. My entrepreneurial path reflected this struggle - networking felt daunting, isolating me from invaluable business insights.
The Transformation
Two years ago, my perspective shifted. Experiencing authentic relating illuminated the magic of deep connection. Embracing vulnerability, I found acceptance and self-love, realizing I am enough.
This conviction led me to share the art of authentic relating in Lagos, Portugal, creating a community passionate about forging meaningful bonds.
For those confronting social anxiety or fears of connection, nurturing deep, rewarding ties in love, life, and work is transformative.
That’s why I made it my mission to create safe spaces for people to overcome their social anxiety and create deeper connections in their life.

Starting as a yoga teacher, I transitioned in 2018 to online marketing consultancy, quickly becoming a notable influencer in the yoga sector. With a rich 10-year expertise in journalism, marketing, yoga, and embodiment, I've made my mark.
Between 2018 and 2022, I imparted marketing knowledge to over 1000 professionals in yoga and embodiment via workshops, training sessions, and seminars. As a trusted marketing expert, I've partnered with leading yoga entities like Yoga Vidya in Germany and Fitogram and have been a featured speaker at yoga festivals including Xperience, Yoga United, and Wanderlust.
In 2022, after six successful years in marketing, I embraced a more impactful direction by becoming a certified embodiment coach, delving deep into authentic relating and circling training. -
