Grounded Support

For those living
into the mystery.

I'm Siona. I provide practical mentorship and grounded support for those navigating the territories where ordinary guidance runs out: creative & vocational callings; life events that unmoor us; challenging or bewildering personal circumstances; and the slow, sacred process of coming to our real work.

A living cosmology
of embodied presence.

This work emerges from a particular attitude toward the world: That the universe is alive and relational in nature; that rest & pleasure, sensation & silence are essential to the journey itself; that there are always more questions than answers; that the body is both sacred and wise.

Each act of presence, each moment of embodied awareness, is a way we live into its mystery and contribute to its beauty.

What I provide is capacity, clarity, and the ability to meaningfully support you in materializing your desired future. The work is less about arriving somewhere final than about becoming more fully available to what is already here, already moving, already whole.

Those who recognize something in this tend to be living at a genuine edge: drawn toward something deep, ready to take the next steps, and in need of an approach that recognizes the fullness and complexity of an embodied human life.

My story

This work grew
from lived experience.

In 2010 I fled the corporate world with no idea as to what I'd do was next, but knowing, deep in my heart, that there must be something more.

Not long after, I experienced a shattering awakening. The life I'd known — my career, my identity, my very understanding of the world itself — collapsed in the face of something far more real. What followed was a decade of learning to live within the resulting spaciousness: the endless walks, the silence, the gradual development of a quieter way of being with and creating in the world.

It may be that when we no longer know what to do we have come to our real work. — Thomas Berry

Gradually, a new articulation took root: that the body is not a doorway to something beyond it but is itself a sacred foundation; that the universe is alive and relational in its nature; that creation is an ongoing reciprocal partnership; that in trusting this we can learn how to engage and move from a place of greater clarity and ease.

Your own path will of course be unique to you, but I can say with confidence that the journey is worth it, and that often all we need is the right sort of support. I've owed my own life to those who helped me see what I couldn't, and today it's my honor to offer the same.

Training & background

Experience matters.
Credentials help.

In addition to fifteen years of lived contemplative practice, I hold dual master's degrees in Transpersonal Psychology and Jungian & Archetypal Psychology, with years of supplementary training in somatic therapies, coaching, bereavement counseling, and spiritual accompaniment.

I'm also an independent film producer and studio co-founder, prior to which I'd served as CEO of Zaadz, Inc. and Director at Gaiam / Gaia.com. I left the corporate world in answer to a nascent creative calling. This history informs a certain care and attention to choices that might seem on the surface illogical, and to the wisdom of a deeper within.

Who I work with

You are already well
on your way.

I work with people who have, in some form or another, already done their healing work, and who are ready for what's next: not addressing wounds or traumas, but grounded & compassionate support for what's ahead. You might be:

From the work

What this looks like.

Every engagement is different. What follows are three real stories of what the process looks like in real-world terms:

A mother came to me wanting help re-entering the workforce. She'd taken time off to raise her family, and wasn't sure if she wanted to return to work as a technical writer or to go back to school in social work. We started exploring both options, but it wasn't long before her true vocation became clear. She'd grown up in a cult, and for years had been carrying a story that demanded to be written. Her former job and social work ambitions both pointed to what was deeper, but weren't themselves the real thing.

We focused on what was real. By the time we finished, she had a completed manuscript, an editor, and was reaching out to agents.

A man came to me in the aftermath of an experience that had broken him open late in life. He'd had a successful career working in industrial safety, but something fundamental had shifted and he could no longer make himself fit inside it. What emerged, at first slowly and then all at once, was a vocation he hadn't known he was carrying: a deep kinship with trees, and a calling to teach others how to work with them.

He left his old career. He now teaches workshops on honorable tree felling and holds an adjunct university position. He is deeply happy.

A working artist and musician came to me feeling caught between the client work that paid her bills and the larger creative vision she kept deferring. She had created a profoundly moving interactive audio-visual show but couldn't give herself permission to treat it as her real work. We worked not only on that permission, but on the practical steps needed to build a life around it. By the end of our time together, she'd secured multiple overseas artist residencies, and booked additional paid engagements at high-end retreat centers.

She's since grown beyond even that dream, and is expanding her practice into directing.

I don't know where our work will lead. But I trust the process of slowing down enough, and listening deeply enough, to hear what's actually asking to emerge, and working from there to realize it.

The engagement

A spacious container
for gentle expansion.

Deep, particular, one-on-one work rooted in the wisdom of the body and the knowing that something greater is available.

We journey through a three-month engagement, structured enough to provide meaningful support and spacious enough for what needs to emerge. We meet biweekly for 60–75 minutes — six sessions over the arc of our time together.

This rhythm is intentional. It gives you time to integrate between sessions, to notice what arises, and to build something real. Throughout you have access to me via email or voice note for questions, reflections, or moments when you desire additional support.

Phase one

Recognizing & honoring

Where you are now, fully, honestly, with curiosity and compassion. What is already present. What is already true.

Phase two

Listening for what wants to emerge

Attending to what is already moving beneath the surface. Following its intelligence rather than imposing a direction.

Phase three

Creating new structures

Building what supports your unfolding, specifically and practically, so that what has opened has somewhere to live.
