About Silvia Shin
At my core, I’m a nurse who fell in love with human potential.
My journey began in public health, but early on, while teaching nursing students at UCLA, I discovered what truly lights me up: creating spaces where people experience genuine a-ha moments. There is nothing quite like witnessing someone suddenly see themselves—or a difficult challenge—with brand-new clarity. Those quiet shifts in perspective are the real catalysts for lasting change.
Today, I bring that background into my work as a professional coach, partnering with purpose-driven individuals and teams committed to continuous growth. I believe true vitality and leadership emerge when we approach self-discovery like an adventure—with curiosity, an open mind, and a willingness to step into new possibilities.
Because sustainable growth starts from within, mindfulness is at the heart of everything I do. As a long-time practitioner and Certified Mindfulness Teacher, I treat mindfulness not as a checklist, but as an essential art of living. I integrate grounding practices directly into my coaching, offering you the practical tools and calm resilience needed to lead, live, and thrive on your own terms.
Who I Work With
I partner with individuals and teams across diverse arenas—from public health and government to non-profits, entrepreneurial ventures and private sectors. At the heart of my practice, my deepest focus is supporting women in midlife who are navigating the delicate, demanding balance between personal evolution and professional leadership.
My ideal clients aren’t looking for quick fixes or prescriptive advice. They are curious, open-minded, and ready to co-create a space where they can experiment, challenge familiar habits, and step into their power. I walk with you as an active partner in your growth, celebrating each milestone as you build lasting self-agency.
Together, we often focus on:
Leadership & Influence: Honing leadership presence, mastering change management, and navigating complex workplace systems.
Grounded Decision-Making: Gaining clarity before pivotal choices, career evolutions, and high-stakes conversations.
Whole-Person Balance: Creating harmony between professional ambitions and personal well-being—without depleting your vitality.
Team Synergy & Culture: Helping collaborative teams elevate their communication, resolve friction, and unlock their highest potential.
How I Work With Clients
Location & Time Zone
I typically engage with my clients over Zoom. In-person engagement may be possible if feasible.
I live in Los Angeles area in the US (Pacific Standard Time) so we can coordinate the hours that work best for us.
Meet & Greet
When you reach out to me initially, we will schedule to meet for a free 30-minute consultation. During this meeting, we will explore possibilities of working together by discussing your goals and outcomes you’d like to work on. There will be no obligation to move forward after the initial consultation. I understand that it is a significant time, effort and financial investment, so you’re highly encouraged to think it over carefully before making the decision.
The Work
Once you decide to work with me, we will then begin your transformational work!
One-one-one coaching session is up to 60 minutes and session frequency depends on the nature of goals and outcomes. I typically offer five sessions in each series over a few months to work on a specific goal.
Group coaching sessions or series are held in small intimate group (up to 12 people). Each session typically range from 50-90 minutes. There will be website updates and social media announcements of upcoming sessions or series.
Team coaching duration and session frequency depend on the variability of the team. Details of the coaching process are determined. after comprehensive assessment and considerations.
Development strategies other than one-on-one, group and team coaching will be further assessed to identify desired outcome, plan and implement optimal strategies for you or your team.

While my public health and nursing education grounds everything I understand about human physiology, our coaching relationship is non-clinical, educational, and growth-oriented. I do not diagnose, prescribe, or treat. Instead, I serve as your strategic thinking partner and trusted guide—helping you advocate for your health, decode your lifestyle needs, and build vitality with confidence.
