Break free from the prison of perfection.

This is for the bright, sensitive souls who are tired of playing by someone else’s rules and ready to show up more fully in their lives, relationships and work.

For the big-hearted ones who learned to tuck away their feelings and shrink their bodies to perform, and are now ready to be seen in the fullness of who they are.

For the driven spirits who are done hiding and are here to reclaim their emotions, inhabit their bodies, share their love and live their lives with deep meaning, connection and purpose.

This is for you.

Repeat after me.

It’s time to savour your life fully!

  • Silba has a unique combination of emphatic listening and caring, deep knowledge of behaviour, psychology and decision making and high intelligence. I don’t think I have ever worked with someone with such high EQ and IQ (often these are negatively correlated in my experience). Since working with Silba I am more comfortable with my work and myself and I am finally releasing and implementing some of my more creative talents. I am more than twice Silba’s age and yet I am learning so much from her - Silba is youthful, fun and wise.

  • Silba really helped and supported me to find my ground during times of change and chaos, to deepen my self trust, self love and acceptance. I left every session feeling clearer, inspired, focused, relaxed, more deeply in tune with myself, my truth, my own inner wisdom, my power and life purpose. Silba helped me navigate my emotions and gave me many tools and wisdom. Investing in 1:1 support with Silba is one of the best gifts I have ever given myself.

    Hana

  • I had been brilliant at bottling up emotions from traumatic situations, putting on a brave face and getting on with it. Naturally this led to bad decisions elsewhere in life. When I started to work with Silba I felt this weight immediately come off my shoulders. The calm, non-judging environment allowed me to say what I felt. And truth be told, it allowed me to be conscious. Conscious that it's ok to be hurt, to be sad. Conscious that some habits or character traits I had weren’t really me and could go. Conscious of the constant challenges we are presented with in daily life. This was one of the best investments I have ever made.

    Luke

  • I was raised to believe that anger is shameful and learnt to suppress it as a child. Silba lovingly guided me into my body, where I could work with the anger and allow it to release in healthy ways. I felt safe and empowered throughout. By the end of our work together, I was able to reclaim power in my body. That's huge!

    Hannah

  • Working with Silba I have learnt to see and integrate my own power. I have gained the strength to listen and to accept all that is without being overwhelmed, even during major changes. Each session brings us back to something very deep. Silba’s presence in this is a huge support, really.

    Deborah

  • Silba helped me accept all parts of me - all the colours, all the emotions, all the messiness. To embrace my wild! To be completely me without shame, guilt and fear. I feel a lot lighter and free in myself and am so grateful for the tips, tricks and golden nuggets of wisdom Silba shared and that I will have with me for ever.

Hi, I’m Silba.

Silba Staffler
behavioural expert & trauma-informed somatic coach (MSc, Dipl, Cert, Dipl)

“I am an advocate for your fullest expression.”

I’m a trained behavioural scientist + trauma-informed somatic coach who supports bright & sensitive humans reclaim sovereignty over their mind, body and energy.


In my private coaching sessions (in-person / online), workshops and talks, I merge behavioural science, therapeutic frameworks and ancestral traditions to offer a no-bullshit approach to self-knowledge & growth.

When not coaching or teaching, you can find me running life experiments, reading about human potential, asking deep questions, giggling with friends and devouring yummy foods.

  • Behavioural

    My approach is grounded in 10 years of research as a behavioural scientist (MSc) + tested across 300+ clients over 5 years of private practice helping smart humans like you reach deep + lasting change.

  • Somatic

    As a trauma-informed somatic coach, I include mind-body techniques of inquiry to leverage both the intelligence of the body as well as the power of the mind towards integrated growth + healing.

  • Energetic

    My frameworks are complemented by the ancestral teachings of taoism and tantra to offer a deeper understanding of the role of vitality and pleasure in the attainment of your full potential and flourishing.
