Sylva Florence is a professional healer specialized in Reiki, intuitive energy healing and channeling. She is also a freelance writer, translator (Italian-English) and host of the podcast “Magic, Medicine and Mayhem.”

When she isn’t helping other humans (or interviewing them), Sylva is often found exploring the world or the woods by bike or on foot. In fact, Sylva feels more at home outdoors than inside four walls and, as a result, her practice is deeply connected to the wisdom of Mother Earth.

Sylva is an American who lives in Tuscany, just outside of Florence—making her literally a Florence near Florence.
