Testimonial of the month:
“When I started working with LiYana I felt full of potential, yet stuck in mediocrity. I had great things going on, but I knew I could do more. There was something inside me that was holding back, but I couldn't put my finger on it or identify it to create any movement. I felt like my life was on auto-pilot but I wasn't actively participating.
I was rebuilding after a divorce and building my own small business. I couldn't see past my anxiety about my relationships and my work - this feeling made me reluctant to plan for the future. It also made me fearful and reactionary with the people closest to me - I wanted to heal these relationships within myself and with others.
While working with LiYana, I discovered the thoughts and beliefs that were draining my energy and diminishing my hope. I was able to identify root causes of recurring conflicts in my personal relationships.
As a result of working together, I am more self aware, more compassionate and accepting of myself. I take more time to understand my motives without becoming reactionary and judgmental. I am less critical of others and especially less critical of myself. I am able to deal with the ups-and-downs of life with more ease and understanding. I have been able to get back in the driver's seat of my life.
I chose LiYana because I knew I would be working on a very subtle level when adjusting my inner workings. Her deep listening created a very personal, compassionate space where I could share the truth even when it was scary and there was lots of resistance. She was able to help me get into some very tight, very personal spaces and make very small adjustments; the ripple effects of these small shifts were huge!
My whole outlook has changed and I am confident about moving forward.
By the end of our coaching program, I have been able to slow things down and get out of pre-set unconscious ways of relating to people and to myself. I now have opportunities to create a new way of being that involves more connectedness and more authenticity in relationships.
I am in a beautiful new relationship that we are both co-creating, from the ground up.
LiYana is number one! I completely love and respect her as a person and for the work she does. The world is a better place with LiYana in it. Thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you…”
Tazima Davis, Wellness and Manifestation Coach

“Before I worked with LiYana, I didn't know that people like her existed. She has the appearance and presence of a consummate professional paired with the soulful depth of a sage. I cherish hearing what she says, and being heard by her, because she unveils aspects of me that I myself had never seen. She has an uncanny ability to SEE people.
As a teacher, LiYana has the ingenious ability to transform esoteric principles into concrete, simple, everyday tools. And that makes life better! She has figured out how to take ancient universal teachings and put them into the fabric of our modern life. Wow!”

“Personally, professionally, as a coach and teacher, knowing and working with LiYana has deeply shifted and enhanced my life and my family’s life. She is a rare gem and it is a gift to spend time with her.
Specifically, as I was training to become a health counselor, LiYana was my role model. She gets right to the heart of the matter while speaking from the heart with a lightness of spirit and a gentle touch.
Her presence is experienced like a ray of sunshine for both its light and its warmth.”

“LiYana Silver is one of the best listeners around. She provides a calm and welcoming space in which to explore the vast and often daunting world of healthy communication in intimate relationships. The insights I gained while working with LiYana continue to affect my life and my relationship. Her excitement, her sensitivity, and her commitment to those she works with, are amazing!”
Megan Brunsvold, Dance and Pilates Instructor
"You were incredibly helpful and validating. I am so used to hiding or feeling like a criminal for my inclinations and actions that talking with someone like you is so wonderful. You have a perfect "bedside manner" and I'm sure you're going to help thousands of people in your life."
Kristin Kapp, Holistic Health Counselor
What people have to say about Coaching with LiYana
“Working with LiYana is like working with a sure thing!
As an entrepreneur and business owner it is easy to get wrapped up in the logistical aspects of growing a business and get distracted by things that are not committed to your vision. As a coach LiYana supported me to zero in on what was important as a business leader and speaker and let go of what got in my way.
LiYana has a very gracious yet direct approach that stimulate inspiration and action in her clients – for me it was in the area of business, but I have witnessed her do the same for those struggling with their health and lifestyle. If you are committed to making a difference in that area for yourself get yourself a coach that is a sure thing like LiYana!”
Kelly Drury, Entrepreneur
“LiYana artfully, lovingly and precisely, touched my life both professionally and personally. She was instrumental in my transformation from a retired marketing executive/MBA/stay-at-home mom to a holistic health counselor with a thriving private practice.”
Nancy Weiser, CHHC, MBA

“I started to work closely with LiYana when I found myself at a crossroad of making some big decisions for my life. Her genuine and unlimited support and love guided me to use my own inner wisdom to figure out solutions that work to go through a tough period of my life. With her support, I was able to regain trust to myself, bring back my self-confidence, and break through my fears. I also learned how to take the first step to ask for support, which were all huge for me. For these, I am forever grateful.
Working with LiYana was fun and serious at the same time. I was able to open up freely, reflect and discover the ME that I never knew of. I enjoyed every single session with her, A LOT! My life has transformed because of LiYana! Thank you, LiYana!"
Angela Su, PharmD, CHHC
Founder of Whole Health by Design
“Over the last six months, LiYana has been a great resource for me, emotionally and spiritually, and an integral part of my personal growth. LiYana has always been sensitive to finding a solution that I felt would really work for me, and at the same time, she has continually pushed me comfortably beyond my comfort zone. She has a wonderful signature style - caring, intuitive and creative.
LiYana helped me work through a period of intense change in my life and I have come out healthier in so many ways. This will always stay with me, and I am thankful to have had LiYana’s counsel along the way.”
Kiki Ong, Real Estate Broker
"Working with LiYana has been an enlightening experience. My original intention was to unlock some of my subconscious ways of thinking that was blocking me from meeting "Mr. Right" vs. "Mr. Right now".
From the very beginning to the very last session, LiYana gently guided me in becoming aware of my negative thought patterns and how they have manifested into my life in a general way. She challenged me with "homework" assignments, and also encouraged me w/ my own experiments and ideas. As a result, I am even more aware about my thoughts and what they mean. Even those tiny subtle ones that seem to come up which cause the effect into my life.
I know that anyone who meets or works with LiYana will have a positive experience. I really feel like she cares and wants everyone in the world to be in a happy and exciting relationship!"
Shireen Damagani, Graphic Designer
“In coaching with LiYana, what struck me especially was the time I told her that I was disappointed that I wasn't as ambitious as my friends. She suggested that I might just have different motivations in life that work for me. That realization freed me from spending energy thinking about why I was "deficient", and allowed me to put that energy into creating my flourishing artwork. LiYana's perspective will often transform my idea of a character flaw into both a character blessing and a character lesson. Her patience with and acceptance of me helped me bloom and create a thriving business.
Before I worked with LiYana I used to beat myself over the head for avoiding certain uncomfortable aspects of my business. When we started working together, she would notice my avoidance and I would instantly retort, "I'm sorry!" She would remind me that it's not something bad, it's just something to notice. So I started noticing as much as I could about my habits without blame or shame, and because of that, I was able to transform my work into something that I deeply, completely, truly love.
LiYana taught me how to listen patiently in order to learn from myself- with wonderful results!”

"I found LiYana to be a very sensitive and caring counselor, always there to support me and especially encourage me. She is able to listen beyond the words which greatly enhanced my growth. LiYana's coaching has made me more aware of who I am today, and I have definitely been able to re-define my boundaries as a wife and mother."
Nancy Finkenzeller, Nutritional Consultant
"LiYana's coaching style is warm and personal, creative and inspiring. She has that rare ability to read your personality and immediately extract the best that you have to offer.

What people have to say about workshops with LiYana
“It has been my privilege to have had the opportunity to work with LiYana in several formats - at a group workshop that she presented, in a small group coaching session, and in individual coaching sessions. LiYana is a woman of many rare and special gifts. In a group setting I was moved by her ability to radiate love and warmth to each participant unconditionally and in any setting I am continually amazed by her ability to listen - really listen - and provide spontaneous relevant insight. She is unfazed by the direction the conversation goes in and is able to go with it while always keeping sight of the goal and gently guiding the individual back.
Each time I work with LiYana, regardless of the setting her insights and feedback teach me new things about myself and give me new skills to relate in the world. She has guided me to stretch and I felt myself grow through my work with her.
I have learned, and continue to learn, about why things make me tick in a particular way and I respond to situations with a new thoughtfulness and calm because of these insights that LiYana has guided me to. I feel blessed with a rare gift to have had the opportunity to have worked with and to continue to work with LiYana.”
~ Laura, Student of Life
“LiYana is one of the most articulate, dynamic teachers I have witnessed leading groups.
She presents material in a way that is understandable, accessible, and usable; rather than just lists of theoretical concepts, she offers profound, vital information that is easy to integrate into one’s life and put into practice. Perhaps because her style is a mix of both the reverent and the irreverent, she is able to create a learning environment that is both light and easy, yet grounded, awe-inspiring and transformational.”
Manu Butterworth, Director and Founder, Golden Gate School of Feng Shui

“I was so happy with the insights I received during a recent workshop on rare relationships. I learned tangible tools that I can use immediately to apply in my relationship and I can see where it is working already. LiYana is an amazing facilitator and creates an open and safe space. I can’t wait for the next one and staying connected with my journey.”
Steven A. Munn, Founder of Clear Point Retreat Center

“It was during a group exercise that she was leading for a group of 100 that I had my most significant “breakthrough” moment with LiYana. During the exercise, I was transported to a moment when I was 4 years old. I came to understand how this experience had influenced my personality and all my relationships. I became freer to fully connect with every person who crosses my path each day.
My entire experience as a human being has been significantly enhanced by my work with LiYana.”
Nancy Weiser, CHHC, MBA

“During the workshop, I had a huge breakthrough around my fears and hang-ups/baggage since my divorce. LiYana was compassionate and clear in helping me look at my challenges in a new and very approachable way.”
Tazima Davis, Wellness and Manifestation Coach
“LiYana’s weekend retreat created an amazing and safe space to dive deep and find the obstacles that stop me - and that I put in my own way!
Experiencing some powerful "a-ha" moments has helped me link my past to my current behaviors. This has been the key factor in helping move towards healthier ways of thinking and being.
LiYana's teaching style allows me to speak freely and never feel judged. I feel guided by her knowledge and inspired by her spirit. I love and respect her the more I work with her. She planted a beautiful seed in me that I am now cultivating to create long and quality relationship with myself and others. I have never enjoyed myself this much! I have nothing more to say but Thank You.”
Pina DiPalma, Holistic Health Counselor
“Cultivating Rare Relationships was the workshop that I've been waiting for.
By providing additional insight to myself and my relationship, this event has transformed my understanding of the opposite sex.
It is a must do for anyone looking to go deeper.”
Leroy Thompson, Technology Consultant
“LiYana's ability to draw out everyone in her workshops is profound. She has the ability to address a group or an individual and say exactly what needs to be said. Personally, she has pushed me to my limits while being patient and compassionate.
When I am working with LiYana, I feel as if I am being guided lovingly towards a deeper understanding of myself.
Through her insights on what causes me to go into negative spirals, I have learned to avoid them, and be more at peace. When we discussed the things that bring true joy to my life, I experienced my first of many aha! moments with LiYana. And now I am consciously filling my life with more joy. My relationship with myself grows stronger each day.”
Monica Shah, Nutrition and Life Balance Expert

“The workshop was so great! Thank you! I loved seeing the contentment people had about them as they headed home. Thank you for magnetizing such a special group of exceptional people.
I got so much from your workshop. I'm excited. Already my partner and I are having more fun with each other. I'm grateful to have learned how to ask for what I want and also to ask for his opinion about things - the "how would you solve it?" bit. Now I see that I have also been providing unsolicited solutions to people in other relationships. And it's wonderful to know that that isn't often necessary, nor is it actually productive! Alright!
Thanks for the many 'A-ha' moments!”
