Hi, I’m Sylvia!
Reclaim your joy. Explore Your Story. Transform Your Future.
I help people take a realistic look at their challenges, explore possibilities, and then take positive action.

In a fast-changing world full of pressure and uncertainty, joy can feel out of reach. That’s why I started Seeding Joy™ — to help you reclaim it, and with it, the energy to face whatever comes. Check out the Seeding Joy page on this website!
Mini Bio
As a top Level 3 Certified Applied Positive Psychology Practitioner, Certified Facilitator, and Professional Development Coach, I’ve worked with individuals at all career levels for 16 years, both one-on-one and in large groups, across diverse business sectors globally.
Using Positive Psychology techniques, I guided my husband through a grueling recovery from a devastating Traumatic Brain Injury.
I’ve also had a long artistic career, including 10 years in the original Broadway production of MISS SAIGON and extensive experience as a voiceover artist, providing bilingual narration for various media, such as the audiobook series Samantha Moon: Vampire Detective by J.R. Rain, and the Merriam-Webster Standard Latin Dictionary in Spanish…which is my second language.
My superpowers
The Optimistic Reality Alchemist:
I offer guidance for remodeling complex situations into clear, actionable paths, so that those with a “pessimism default” can see beyond obstacles to what’s truly possible, using Applied Positive Psychology principles proven in the most extreme real-life situations.
The Resilience Reinforcer
I help anyone recovering from surgeries, accidents or any other daunting life challenge rebuild and refuel their inner resilience to keep meeting and beating the tough times.
The Joy Deficit Refiller
I help overachievers who have grown to feel empty, cynical, or chronically overwhelmed to break the cycle of joyless achievement and build a life that feels as good on the inside as it looks on the outside, by rediscovering their inner joy.
The Personal Narrative Architect
I call on a creative 27-year career in acting and storytelling, including a decade on Broadway and extensive audiobook narration, to guide clients as they uncover their unique narratives, develop confident presence, and find their own authentic voice.
