Hi, I'm Lilia, the face and founder of Lilia's Hearth, a space I created to support women on their journey of coming home to themselves and finally living a life of authentic self-expression, creativity and purpose without sacrificing their peace. 

​

This ambition and this purpose are the result of a time of huge disconnect, and later on, deep burnout. I had attended art school following my ambition to become a children's book illustrator. It was here that the demands and the structures were so destructive to my own relationship to my creativity, that it removed me more and more from it and thus from myself, my needs and my energy. 

​

This disconnect was just one more on the pile of many. I hated my body, felt lost and unsure about my future, had no concept of rest and regeneration - I was overwhelmed, to say the least. And so the fateful day came on which I had to decide whether or not to apply for the next year of university, and the professor I had spoken to advised me not to, considering the state that I was in. And so I decided to heed his advice.

​

And let me tell you, that day after school, I felt lighter than I've ever felt before, gravity had nothing on me, I finally felt like I could breathe again. But what stood out to me the most was that I hadn't noticed that my life had been choking me for the last 6 months. It was then that I vowed to do my utmost not to let it get that far again.

​

And the Universe heard me loud and clear. When I returned home that very same day, I had an email in my inbox from Sahara Rose's newsletter I had signed up for ages ago. I usually just marked them 'read', but for some reason, it was calling me to open it. And, lo and behold, it was the newsletter detailing their coaching program and offering to let you sign up to be notified when their doors open again. 

​

This offer of learning to lead a life of purpose and guide others to do the same felt SO aligned - the more I read, the more seen I felt, and so I decided to go for it.

​

One year and two certifications later, I felt not only optimistic but changed; the past year had felt like 8 years of growth in one. But little did I know that my path would lead me through some dark ass forest and some more growth-inspiring times in the not-so-distant future. 

​

I had been living at home all the while, in a dynamic in which I held a primary caretaker role, one I had held all my life. And the time had come where my capacity had simply been spent. I experienced the most gruelling year of my life, an autistic burnout of proportions I hope nobody I ever have the honour of working with will have had to go through. But if they have, if you have, I am well equipped to support you now. 

​

Needless to say, this experience had altered the course of my career and provided me with both the medicine that I needed, and the medicine I was here to share, which is the return to the Earth, the Great Goddess, and with that the return to your sacred pace, creative expression and the importance of fulfilling your purpose along with your needs. 

​

I chose this path as much as it chose me, and as I surrender to all that is to come, I deeply respect the honour of being trusted as a guide and facilitator. My devotion to my clients' evolution and integration of their own wisdom is likened only to my devotion to the pursuit of building a world of higher consciousness and alignment with the Earth and the Great Mother.​
