A personal note from Sylvia.
Each November our city and suburbs become shrouded in a magnificent purple-blue haze of blossoming Jacaranda trees. Often the flower laden branches touch each other, forming tunnels of love-li-ness.

Sacred Pathways to Places of the Heart
I am basking in the autumn sunshine at my residence in Perth, Western Australia. Home again from the beautiful island of Tenerife.
Tenerife is one of seven islands that make up the Canarian archipelago. The volcano, Mount Teide is still active, and it last erupted in 1909. While there - I had the profound experience of walking on her sacred pathways. It felt like layers of petticoats reaching from her summit to unknown lengths and depths of the Atlantic ocean.
"Wait there will be a time"
“Wait, there will be a time” - That time is NOW!
I realised from a young age that my talents could not manifest in the situation of my childhood. I was impeded. Fortunately, my higher consciousness, possibly my grandmother energy, encouraged my restless heart to wait, whispered to me - 'wait - there will be a time.' More than twenty years later, my genius activated.
From Potential To Reality
March has always been a special month for me.
The beginning of autumn in the south and welcoming spring in the north.
March is my birthday month a time of completion and new beginnings.
For each of us every day is a new beginning. Since the moment of one’s birth, we are daily in new beginnings, and even though they are mostly so routine, it is our daily life.
The Power of Self Compassion
Kind, Calm, Connected, these words are a helpful mantra when we are going through times of stressfulness.
Recently I’ve added a little four-letter word that has changed the power of the mantra.
That little word is “self”.
Self-Kindness, Self-Calm, Self-Connected - practicing these delivers to our 'being-ness': “Self-Compassion”.
2024 - Heart Leaders Academy for YOU!

A personal note from Sylvia
WELCOME TO 2024
This is my opportunity to express my gratitude for your love and support.
The past three years have been monumental. Through it I have seen so much growth and change in our students and course teachers/facilitators plus I recognise in my work a new depth and maturity.
Our team at Heart Leaders Academy daily encourage my heart as I witness their growth and change as more-and-more they step into the responsibility and joy of growing their self, their relationships and business.
Another of our students made a statement “I want to be a Master Teacher in Heart Leaders Academy”. That’s self-responsibility – making the statement knowing this is the year to begin and complete your Diploma studies.
FEBRUARY 2024 is the 40th anniversary of New Image Health School.
When I began teaching my own authored work, the New Image Health School transformed into Heart Leaders Academy.
I couldn’t resist…February 2024 has one extra day this year, a Leap Day! I leapt to bring you a live in person workshop at my home in Perth, Western Australia.
Transforming DNA Memories February 26 to 29.
Four days, eight focused sessions with meditations, proven protocol, specific keys to clearing, present lifetime and family lineage healing.

The Song of the River, The Gift of Life
2023 December 827
A personal note from Sylvia
Consciously breathe…feel your breath in your nostrils, in your bronchioles and lungs and release…now, do it again…it’s the gift of life.
As we come to the close of our 2023 calendar I recall a year of friendship, love, grace, kindness, music, conversations, connecting to nature and remembering…the song of the river doesn’t end at her banks or at the delta… life is a continuum.
All my life I’ve thought a lot about love.
Many of us In childhood experienced mixed and distorted messages that muddied the clear water of love.
“I love you when…you tidy your room”- that’s conditional love.
Statements like this often have a long term outcome. The child grows into a people pleaser, and in their endeavour to be loved, this may lead to acceptance of any behaviour from others (including relationships which are based on mental cruelty and physical violence).
This conditional love is not love - Love is not 'more or less. Love is simple - I LOVE YOU is what it is.
Time taught me, when we feel 'out of love' with those we know we love, it is inappropriate behaviour that has complicated the graceful flow of kindness.
An elegant word for love is grace.
Grace to me is the most beautiful word in the English language.
Grace is holding love in our heart, it is a clarion call to self-refinement and kindness.
Grace is a quality of mind, spirit/soul.
As we step into a new year, with new energy…consider the patterns of the past that were not graceful, kind or necessary. Remember we don’t fix ourself by breaking someone else.
My message is…step into the new year with the memories of love and refinement, grace and kindness, remembering once again, the song of the river doesn’t end at her banks neither does it end at the delta.
Continue to be your most beautiful self, love splendidly, and prosper as you step forward continuing to be all of YOU.
Blessings from my heart to yours..
