Leadership Initiation

I work with leaders who have achieved what they once dreamed to achieve, and sense that something essential is still missing.High performers, CEOs, entrepreneurs and leadership teams navigating pressure and responsibility. People who know that strategy, intelligence, and material success no longer create the fulfillment they are now looking for.My work bridges executive advisory, embodied leadership, indigenous wisdom and nature-based intelligence. It is grounded in two decades of experience with entrepreneurs, scale-ups, investment funds, and leaders across Europe, Africa, and the Americas.This is leadership work that moves beyond the mind.
Into the body. The nervous system. The heart.

Does this feel familiar?

Ready for purpose

You're ready to live a life of purpose bigger than yourself, to do something great for the world, yet you struggle to define what that purpose is.

Burned out

Feeling restless, frustrated, tension in the body, low energy, struggling to prioritize, feeling that you're never quite 'done', decreased performance or motivation.

Unhealthy patterns

A tendency of relying on alcohol, drugs, technology, wealth creation, porn, or food to 'release' and to feel alive.
Keep falling back in old patterns.

Overthinking

Repetitive thoughts that keep running in loops. Struggling to be present. Comparison to others, doubting your abilities, regretting your choices.

Disconnected

Feeling disconnected from yourself and others, relationships feel strained. Wanting to improve relationships, but unsure how.

In need of peace

Frustration over inability to control things, unable to maintain a peaceful state of mind, longing to reduce complexity and have a 'break through', feeling that something is missing.

Limiting beliefs

Feelings of pride, anger, desire keep interfering with your flow, fear of losing everything you've built, fear that you'll never be 'whole', judging yourself and others.

What I offer

I support leaders at moments when something needs to change.Sometimes this is the first time they seek this kind of work. Sometimes they have tried many approaches, yet nothing led to lasting change.My work is intuitive, relational, and grounded.It meets leaders where they actually are, instead of where they think they should be.I integrate lived practices from Eastern, Western and Indigenous traditions.

Typical entry points include:

- Founder or executive burnout
- Major leadership or life decisions
- Role or identity transitions
- Relational challenges
- A call for deeper alignment

Leadership initiation

Leadership initiation is the term I use for developing leaders at the level of the nervous system, the body, the heart, and spirit.It creates leaders whose thoughts, words, and actions are aligned.This reflects a new definition of success that I feel our time is calling for.Through our work together, leaders often experience:Clarity
Clear direction and grounded confidenceVitality
A felt sense of calm, joy, and alivenessPresence
Authenticity that inspires trust and connectionWholeness
Success in relationships, health, and impactFlow
Ease and trust in how life unfolds

How I guide

Each session responds to what's present in real life.I draw from Eastern, Western, and Indigenous traditions, and I work from lived experience rather than technique alone.What matters most is discernment: knowing what to bring, when, and how deeply.The work unfolds naturally, adapted to the moment and the people.My guidance includes the following:

  • Leadership and systems thinking

  • Psychological depth and pattern recognition

  • Purpose and vision work

  • Somatic release and bodywork

  • Nervous system regulation

  • Water intelligence and nature-based wisdom

  • Indigenous and earth-based practices

  • Meditation and silence

  • Plant medicine and ceremony

  • Emotional balance and energy cleansing

  • Voice and authentic expression

  • Heart-centered and relational dynamics

  • Strategic clarity

How we work together

All Oyasin engagements are leadership transformation containers.Each container combines:1. Live immersion
2. Ongoing integrationThis structure creates real, lasting change.

Live Immersion

Live immersion builds trust, and opens insight quickly.This is where a 'breakthrough', or shift in consciousness often occurs.
From thinking to knowing.Formats include:Workshops (2 - 4 hours)
Immersions (1 - 2 days)
Off-sites & retreats (3 - 7 days)Work may be one-to-one, small group, or team-based.Sessions take place onsite, or offsite in nature.Each immersion is tailor-made to the specific context and people involved.For larger groups, I collaborate with trusted co-facilitators.

Examples of Past Immersions

Oyasin Nervous System Reset

Water immersion and regulation practices. Restores balance, resilience, and capacity.

Integration

Integration is where insight becomes reality.Without integration, breakthroughs remain experiences.
With integration, they become embodied wisdom.You notice integration working when:- Your responses change naturally
- Your energy feels coherent
- Your environment responds differently to you
- You lead the same in public as private
- You show up as your authentic self

We meet weekly, or bi-weekly to translate insight into daily leadership, and decisions.

Who I work with

I work one-on-one and with groups.High performers across disciplines
CEOs and executive teams
Entrepreneurs and foundersFor larger teams and organizations, I work through the Born From Water Wisdom School.

My path

I hold a Master’s degree in Business Economics and Finance.
I began my career as an impact entrepreneur, and advisor to ventures, funds, and impact organizations.My own entrepreneurial path includes burnout, recovery, and reintegration. I lived too much in my head. Doing, performing, and pushing myself.Nature, and water in particular, became my primary teachers. They taught me how to return to regulation, truth, trust and flow.My path has unfolded through many life experiences, including indigenous wisdom initiations, Vipassana silent meditation, and long-term training in embodiment and nervous system work.I am a meditation teacher, ceremonialist, freediver, water therapist, and mentor.
Song, silence, breath, movement, bodywork, and nature are woven into my work when appropriate.I am also the founder of Born From Water a nonprofit advancing water literacy, leadership consciousness, and regenerative relationships with water.Sharing what I learned over the past two decades to support others with care and love, is my path and life purpose. I'm honoured to guide you.

What clients say

"Mo combines ancient wisdom, human behavior, and spiritual guidance. She has a deep understanding of executive leadership, and the challenges that corporations face. I loved the depth, and the structure of the process.
It has impacted me in a profound way - I feel happier and healthier."

Sandra M.
Executive, Portugal

"Trust is always something I've struggled with. Being a serial entrepreneur has made me successful, yet I often felt scattered, and not present. The container held by Mo is very deep, the retreats burst you open, and the integration mentorship is grounded and extremely effective. This was transformative for me: I've been more present than I've ever been.
This was in fact, the most important experience of my life"

Sacha G.
Entrepreneur, France

"Mo blends ancient wisdom with modern leadership challenges in a way I hadn't experienced before. I joined an Oyasin retreat for CEOs, and it was probably the most authentic transformation experience I've ever encountered. The space held by Mo and team, the quality of the modalities; there was an incredible flow to it.
Truly a once in a lifetime experience"

Daniel K.
