SYLVIA HENHEFFER
Founder & Mindfullness Coach
“When we focus on our gratitude, the tide of disappointment goes out and the tide of love rushes in.”
~Kristin Armstrong
Meet Sylvia Henheffer - Her journey of self-discovery began when she realized that working in government and corporate worlds were not fulfilling her purpose. Becoming an entrepreneur, working with small businesses allowed her to live her core values of freedom and flexibility, shifting her thoughts to gratitude and blessings of everyday.
While working and volunteering in the community, Sylvia realized that her gifts of self understanding were key to her internal peace and wanted to share her gifts with others, so partnered with Laurie Renton, who carried the same values and similar visions. Together they created the Visionary Hub, based on learning for Individuals, entrepreneurs and business teams.
Sylvia's fun and inspirational spirit loves hiking and camping which brings out her creative side. She has three daughters who share her passions of the outdoors.
