My Story

My mission

I am here to guide you on a journey deep within your soul, to support you in awakening your own inner healer through the magic and divine power that lives within your human body.

I create a safe, loving and intentional space for you to fully unleash - to unravel into your most authentic, primal, ferocious, untamed self.

A space for you to be held as you connect back to the wisdom of your body and align with the truth of your soul, to release the blockages that are keeping you from living up to your fullest potential. Through this work, you can anchor deep into your sovereignty, make peace with the stories of your past and align with your highest timeline.

This is your time to reclaim your body, your soul, your dreams, your light and your greatest truth.

With me, anything and everything is welcome, always rooted in unconditional, loving support.

I have dedicated the last few years to deepening my devotion to this mission, my own inner healing and the healing for the collective. It started with my first plant medicine experience a few years back. I sat my first dieta with Shipibo shamans deep in the amazon working with master plant spirits and ayahuasca. It was after this experience that my entire life changed. 

Back in Chicago, before this deita, I was an actor working multiple “day jobs,” going on countless auditions, performing around the city and producing a podcast. I was working 70 hours a week thinking that was the only way to make ends meat and I was burnt out, exhausted and unhappy with the life I had created for myself. Performing was such a beautiful passion of mine, and still is, however I knew my soul was yearning for something greater - to heal and grow with the earth.

That dieta opened a beautiful gateway for me, the path to complete and total sovereignty. The path of trusting the universe and trusting the guidance of my soul with all my heart. So when I returned, I left my entire life that I had spent 24 years creating to step into the great unknown. I sold everything I owned, left all my projects, my agency, my community and the beautiful city of Chicago I called home. I embarked on a journey to the angelic lands of Costa Rica, a place that had been calling my spirit. I had no idea what was there for me, yet I let go of my fears and stayed anchored in my intention - to fully activate my gifts, embody the ancient wisdom that lives within the earth and our souls, and to share my magic with the world. 

Since this journey has unfolded, I have deepened my work with different plant medicines, learning all that I can from many benevolent guides and teachers that have come my way. My biggest initiation has been with the breath. 

I completed my training in the Sacred Feminine Breathwork program with the Sacred Breath Academy. I chose this school because of the extensive training rooted in trauma informed work and feminine mystery studies. I studied over a year with this school, learning all there is to know about the science behind breathwork, how to hold a trauma informed space, and gained potent tools on how to navigate the emotional body. Through the Rose lineage I learned how to fully embody the immense power that comes from being a woman and honor the sacred gateway of the womb. The pure magic and unlimited capacity to create, heal and birth our greatest dreams into reality. I learned how to bridge this feminine wisdom with the intelligence of the breath.

Through the breath, I was able to shed many layers of limited beliefs, conditioning and old versions of myself. It has allowed me to break out of the false narratives of my mind, the intense language of my ego to fully embody the power that thrives within my heart and my body. It has guided me to make decisions and take actions from a place of unconditional love while trusting in myself and the great spirit, rather than giving into fear.

 I dove so deep within my body that I awakened the ancient primal codes embedded in the original blueprint weaved within my DNA, of what it means to be a human and a soul of source. I have mastered the art of being my own inner healer through the power of my breath and I’m here to help activate this truth within you. With all different healing modalities and plant medicines I have worked with, I find the breath is the most powerful tool in remembering the truth of who I am. 

Early in my journey, I began to study the art of working with shamanic reiki, a huge catalyst in activating my gifts on a quantum level. Working with shamanic reiki taught me how to utilize the divine loving light of universal life force energy with the sacred teachings of the earth. I learned how to work with the different elements, master plant teachers I have dieted, animal guides and the wisdom of Pachamama. Since this training, the magic has unfolded into so much more. I have been able to tap into energies beyond our dimension to deepen the healing experience for those who are looking to receive. As my clairvoyant and clairaudient abilities have accelerated, I’ve learned how to work with the masters and teachers from above during my healing to ensure that your are getting the highest guidance and healing from the universe.

June 2023 I tied up my life in Costa Rica and moved to the Sacred Valley of Peru to deepen my studies with plant medicine and prayer work. These lands have created an immense impact of life and launched me into a new era of expansion and immense trust within the universe and my self. I am here to be a bridge between these lands and the western world. I host very special, intimate private and group retreats as an opportunity for you to experience the incredible healing powers these lands hold.

I am very passionate about the transformation that comes from my work, as I mentioned before, I have dedicated my life to nurturing these gifts and teachings. Before every session, I ensure that my vessel is clean. I take the time to center my being, connect with your soul ensure that I am fully present and in the highest integrity ready to serve you and the highest greatest good of all.

Testimonials

  • Paulina Luna Lioness ~ Wild Woman Medicine

    I had the pleasure of receiving a healing session with Sydney a few months back. I immediately felt safe and seen by her grounded and nurturing presence. Her healing hands felt like an angelic force was pulsing through me removing all blocks. All the while feeling her channeling and guiding the light energy to repair any tears within my aura. I came into the session feeling scattered, overwhelmed and anxious, and left feeling renewed, clear and embodied.

    So much gratitude for this beautiful being and her gift of space holding and healing presence.

    Thank you for all you do.

  • Sorvina

    Care, compassion, and consciousness; Sydney Foltz leads with wisdom while creating room for your own journey to do the rest. Many “experts” boast of creating “safe spaces” without fully understanding what that looks like, namely for people belonging to marginalized identities. Sydney’s aura alone, however, naturally creates an environment conducive to letting one’s guard down. From the moment you meet her, it is clear that she has done her homework.

    Overall, my experience with Sydney Foltz’s breathwork journey was overwhelmingly positive. I never realized how powerful a process as natural as breathing could be a portal to the unmanifested. With the help of Sydney’s guidance, I was able to dive deep into that vast, infinite ocean of knowledge we all possess within us and I’m so grateful for the lessons my soul taught me! I emerged from the experience with clear direction and purpose.

  • Leigh

    I highly recommend Sydney! I am new to this form of healing. I was intrigued by using my own body and breath as a resource to heal deep wounds. After my 30 min call with Sydney I felt confident in her knowledge, her experience, her years of training and her spirit. I felt safe with her and booked a session right away. I had no idea what to expect but I was open. The power of my breath guided safely by Sydney I cannot put into words. I went beyond what was in my conscious mind for the first time and released so much. Sydney is gentle, understanding and held space for me. I feel lighter, stronger, and everyday I notice a positive change. I can't wait for my next session! She is a gem!

  • Sophi

    My energy healing session with Sydney was exactly the nourishment and reset that I needed. I felt so relaxed during and afterward I could feel that all parts of me were working together more coherently. Sydney is a gifted healer and I felt very safe and taken care of in her presence. All of the messages she shared afterward about my energy centers were so resonate and gave me a lot of clarity around what I’ve been experiencing and how to move forward. Highly recommend giving yourself the gift of working with this beautiful soul!

  • Laurie

    I am so thankful to have had the pleasure of meeting Sydney and to be introduced to this beautiful form of breath work. Sydney took her time to educate me about the process, to create a safe container and to support the whole process in such a way that I could fully allow myself to be present to my breath, my body and the awarenesses I was experiencing. I felt renewed and elated following our session. Sydney has a lot of wisdom that she shares to support the integration process. As a psychotherapist, I can really attest to the importance of all of these steps and the qualities that Sydney has to encourage the deeper work. Can’t wait until my next session!! Thank you Sydney!!

  • Leah

    Sydney provided me with one of the most transformative energy sessions I’ve ever had! She created such a professional and relaxing environment with her energy and incorporation of aromatherapy. I left feeling at peace and ready to implement the helpful guidance I was given. As a healer myself, I came to her seeking to remove blockages that were hampering my gifts and holding me back from sharing them with the world. Since our session I can feel my heart more open and see how my life is being to draw in the things that line up with my heart’s desires. I feel more grounded in my power and better equipped to quiet my mind.

  • Camilo

    I just have to say that I am sincerely grateful for the opportunity to experience the magic that exists inside us. It has been the most intense and diverse experience I have had in a long time and I am grateful to have been in such a safe and free container.

    The energy that you deliver, Sydney, to space is for me the necessary to accompany and let be in the process.

    I know that it is not an easy task to be the guardian of such a sacred and intimate space and meeting that call is brave.

    You have a very important job and you do it amazingly, every question I have had you have answered with love and knowledge and there is no doubt about the effort you have made to reach this level.

    Thank you from my heart for protecting me in my vulnerability.

  • Linh

    Having a breathwork session with Sydney was incredible. It was powerful, potent, and unforgettable. I’m happy that I chose to take this opportunity to do a breathwork session with her because I went so deep into parts of me that I didn’t realize were there. She helped me feel comfortable in her space and assured me that my process was going to be held. I appreciated that before going into my session because I wasn’t sure what to expect. However, I felt that I went so deep because I felt safe enough to do so with Sydney. I recently received breathwork training and am fond of the power of breath. And in this session, I was brought to another level of embodied understanding. Sydney taught me more about the breath and how intimate the connection to the breath is to our body, health, and spirit. I love that she held the space so sacredly. I felt seen, heard, and held through the journey I went on with the breath. I felt that she taught the breath technique in a way that was easy to catch on and the technique was aligned to the music she played which I loved.

    I appreciate her sharing the wisdom in such an embodied and grounded way. She facilitated the session beautifully showing her natural way to be in touch with breath and helping to bridge the power of breath to people she serves. I look forward to working more with her & seeing her helping so many people through breathwork.

  • Soul Flow

    My breathwork session with Sydney was transformative and empowering. Even before our session, meeting Sydney was like a breathe of fresh air. She radiates a genuinely caring and grounded nature, her presence alone a reminder to be present. She shared her work and it’s impact on the nervous system. This information piqued my interest and I scheduled my first session. Sydney effectively communicated all the logistics of the session beforehand.

    Sydney graciously welcomed me into her peaceful space in the jungle for our session. As an education consultant and coaching specialist, I focus on social emotional learning. I often coach teachers to shift from “the sage on the stage to the guide on the side.” Sydney embodies this coaching style and communicated the flow of information with full embodiment of her words. Sydney’s expression that she could hold the space within this safe container flipped a switch within me, giving myself permission to be vulnerable. I feel this allowed me to tap into my deeper emotions and begin to release what needs to be released. I am grateful for this journey and have added this tool to my mindfulness practice to integrate the experience.
