Transformational Integration Coaching for
Healing, Purpose, and Wholeness
· ✦ ·
Supporting healing, clarity, and authentic living
through deep inner work and expanded awareness.
The Inner Work
People come here seeking change where life feels out of balance. For some it's anxiety, trauma, or self-doubt— feeling stuck in cycles that no longer serve them, needing relief from burnout, overwhelm, or a loss of purpose. For many, it’s about finding freedom— from the past, from old patterns, from the tension between what is and what could be. Through personal transformation, emotional healing, and deep inner work, lasting change becomes possible.
Inner Healing & Emotional Freedom
• Trauma resolution • Anxiety and overwhelm • Releasing old patterns • Emotional resilience • Self-worth and confidence
Clarity, Purpose & Life Direction
• Major life transitions • Vision and purpose • Creative stagnation • Decision-making • Aligning life with deeper truth
Consciousness & Spiritual Growth
• Expanded self-awareness • Mystical and spiritual exploration • Integration of profound experiences • Reconnection to meaning • Embodied transformation
Relationships & Human Connection
• Communication • Intimacy • Family dynamics • Authentic expression • Boundaries and vulnerability
The ReVision Method
Deep change is supported by three essential phases:
Preparation, Guided Inner Work, and Integration.
Together, these create a grounded container for transformation—
helping insights become embodied change rather than fleeting inspiration.
Note: Each pillar has an in-depth article for you to explore further in the Articles section below.
Preparation
Clarify your intention, uncover what may be standing in the way, and align mind, heart, and body before the deeper work begins.
Guided Inner Work
Enter a focused day-long retreat supported by music, presence, skilled facilitation, and deep inquiry.
Integration
Translate insight into lived change through reflection, practices, and continued support after the retreat.

My Approach—A Deeper Look
Preparation, Ceremony, and Integration
My name is Sergio Nikita Lialin. Through Re-Vision Coaching, I accompany people exploring personal transformation, relationships, spiritual awakening, and the integration of significant life experiences.
My work brings together contemporary approaches to understanding human behavior, attention to the body, and teachings received through years of participation, assistance, and apprenticeship within living ceremonial traditions.
At the heart of this work is an invitation: You’re not broken. You’re remembering.
We begin with curiosity about your experience—what you long for, what has shaped you, and what the patterns you struggle with may have been trying to protect.
From that understanding, we explore how you might move through life with greater freedom, connection, and choice.
How This Approach Took Shape
My fascination with human behavior has led me through psychology classes, experiential study, and training in several approaches to personal change. Alongside that learning, I spent approximately a decade traveling to observe, listen, and participate in healing ceremonies. In some settings, my involvement deepened into assistance, guiding, and apprenticeship.
These experiences included ceremonial training and assistance in Brazil and Costa Rica, work as an assistant and guide in Peru’s Sacred Valley, and study of Amazonian plant medicine traditions at Centro Takiwasi in Tarapoto and Mayantuyacu near Pucallpa.
Further learning took me to an apprenticeship with an ayahuasquero in Panama, ancestral ceremonial training in Colombia, and repeated periods of study and participation in Mazatec traditions in Huautla de Jiménez, Oaxaca, Mexico.
Earlier studies with Dr. Tom Pinkson explored shamanic practices and Huichol traditions. I also completed a two-year mentorship with Angeles Arrien in 2010. These teachers and experiences helped shape my appreciation for ritual, relationship, listening, and the responsibilities involved in accompanying another person.
I remain grateful to the people and communities who welcomed me. What I offer today is informed by those encounters, with respect for the distinct traditions from which they came.
Understanding Patterns, Listening to the Body
In 2013, I graduated from Masters, the third level of Marin NLP’s training, completing its Master Practitioner program. That study deepened my exploration of language, perception, and the often unconscious patterns through which we organize our experience.In practice, this means listening closely to how you describe your world. We may explore a belief that feels unquestionable, a response that keeps recurring, or a conflict between something you consciously want and another part of you that hesitates. My continuing study through online Internal Family Systems courses informs this attention to parts: the different feelings, needs, and protective responses that can coexist within one person.
My earlier training at Diamond Light School of Massage and Healing Arts, where I completed a 100-hour massage therapy program in 2001, brought another dimension to this understanding. The body participates in our experience. Breath, tension, posture, movement, and sensation can all become part of what we notice together.
When bodywork is appropriate and agreed upon, it may also be included.
These influences support a way of working that respects your pace, welcomes curiosity, and makes room for what is still difficult to put into words.
What Working Together Looks Like
For people entering my five-week retreat process, our work begins well before the retreat itself. An intake form invites reflection on your history, current circumstances, physical and emotional practices, and reasons for seeking this experience. We then meet for a 90-minute intake session to explore what matters most and begin identifying the themes asking for attention.
In our intention session, we shape one to three intentions for the retreat. This is a process of listening and clarification. What are you ready to understand? Where do you feel caught? What would you like to meet differently within yourself or your relationships?
Preparation also includes making space in daily life: reducing distractions, attending to rest, and approaching the experience with greater deliberateness.
The Day-Long Visioning Retreat begins with an opening ritual, conversation, and a review of our agreements. Throughout the day, I attend to your wellbeing and support the unfolding of your experience. Music, silence, sound, and—with your consent—bodywork may be part of that support. Important reflections can be noted so that we can return to them afterward.
The following weeks are devoted to themes and integration. In two 90-minute sessions, we revisit what emerged, allow meaning to develop, and explore what you want to do with what you have discovered.
That may involve a conversation you have been avoiding, a boundary you are ready to recognize, a practice you want to establish, or a different way of responding when an old fear appears. Some people continue meeting with me beyond the initial five weeks, giving these changes ongoing attention and support.
Music as a Continuing Thread
Music is woven through my work and my life. Singing bowls, musical instruments, tuning forks, and voice offer ways to explore presence, listening, and expression.
The songs I release as Sergio Lialin also carry teachings, experiences, and reflections gathered along this path. My first album, Siempre, Mi Amor, was remastered and re-released in 2016. My second album, Encantando, was released in 2016. Both are available on streaming platforms.
The music and my book, Healing the Modern Soul, grow from the same ongoing inquiry: how we bring greater awareness, love, and sacredness into the lives we are already living.

Bringing the Experience Home
Throughout this work, I return to a practical question: What becomes possible in your everyday life?
An experience may reveal something meaningful. Integration gives that understanding a place in your choices, relationships, and actions. It asks how you care for yourself when vulnerability returns, how you respond in a difficult moment, and how you practice what you have begun to recognize.My role is to accompany that process with careful listening, thoughtful questions, and respect for your capacity to find your own way forward.
About Sergio Nikita Lialin -Psychedelic Guide
Over time, that journey led him into the study and integration of multiple approaches to personal transformation, including Internal Family Systems (IFS), Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), somatic work, mindfulness, breathwork, and psychedelic preparation and integration.
Beyond any single modality, what shaped his work most deeply was witnessing how profoundly people change when they feel safe enough to honestly meet themselves.
For more than a decade, Sergio has worked with individuals navigating emotional healing, life transitions, expanded states of consciousness, spiritual emergence, relational challenges, trauma, and the deeper longing to reconnect with themselves in a more authentic way.
His work bridges modern psychological frameworks with contemplative practice, nervous system awareness, emotional integration, and the timeless human search for meaning, wholeness, and personal transformation.
Sergio is the author of Healing the Modern Soul: Psychedelics, Ancient Wisdom, and the Healing Path of Awakening, an exploration of healing, consciousness, spirituality, trauma, and transformation. The book reflects many of the themes that inform his work today, including psychedelic preparation, psychedelic integration, emotional healing, and the relationship between ancient wisdom and modern approaches to growth and change.
Through coaching, immersive retreats, and integration support, Sergio helps individuals navigate meaningful transformation with greater clarity, self-understanding, and purpose.
At the heart of his work is a simple recognition:
You are not broken. You are remembering.

Reflections From The Work
Joseph S.
Tech Consultant“…working with Sergio created a level of safety and honesty I had not experienced before. Rather than feeling analyzed, I felt deeply seen beneath the roles, defenses, and stories I had carried for years. Something in me softened in a way that continued long after our sessions ended.”
Julia D.
User Interface (UI) Designer"...what began as a search for healing gradually became a return to myself. The work helped me integrate experiences I had struggled to understand for years and brought a deeper sense of groundedness, clarity, and trust into my daily life. The shifts were not only emotional—they became embodied.”
Wendy P.
Estate Planning Lawyer“Sergio brings a rare combination of emotional depth, grounded presence, and genuine humanity. The work never felt forced.

AUTHOR BIO (LONG)
Sergio Nikita Lialin is an author and preparation, guidance, and integration specialist working at the intersection of psychedelic science, indigenous-informed frameworks, and contemporary healing modalities. Drawing on work in Internal Family Systems, somatic practice, NLP, and plant medicine integration, he guides individuals through the terrain that clinical treatment alone does not address—the preparation before the experience, the experience itself, and the integration that follows.
His book, Healing the Modern Soul, is a 374-page synthesis of spiritual awakening, breathwork, indigenous wisdom, and the emerging science of psychedelic healing. It arrives at a moment of cultural shift, as policy accelerates access to medicines that have been held within traditional contexts for generations, and offers both philosophical grounding and practical pathways for navigating that change. Lialin works with individuals and groups navigating the intersection of ancient practice and modern science. He is based in the San Francisco Bay Area and available for interviews, speaking engagements, and media appearances.

BOOK DESCRIPTION (LONG)
Healing the Modern Soul is a 374-page work written for a moment of cultural transition—when science is rapidly advancing psychedelic therapies, and millions are approaching these experiences without adequate preparation, guidance, or integration support. The book explores spiritual awakening, breathwork, indigenous wisdom, and the convergence of psychedelic science with living tradition. It is not a book about substances. It is a map back to the self—grounded in the understanding that healing is not the correction of a broken person, but the remembering of a whole one. “You were never broken. You are remembering who you are.”
