The Full Story

About Me.

0238.jpg

I work with people and teams who are doing their best - but feel something is off.

Maybe you’re stuck in patterns you’ve outgrown. Maybe you’re carrying things that were never really yours. Or maybe you’ve done all the right things - on paper, it looks fine, but inside, something feels disconnected.

 

That’s where my work begins.

Let me introduce myself so that you get a better feel for me and hence, No·Ma. My name is Sıla - with Turkish-Armenian roots, born and raised in Germany. After school I decided it was time to see the world so that is what I did for a while until I unexpectedly settled in the Netherlands. 

 

I spent over 15 years in corporate strategy and consulting. I helped organizations grow, restructure, expand into new markets. I loved the complexity, the challenge - and I still value that clarity. But over time, something shifted. I started noticing what wasn’t being talked about. The unspoken tensions. The inherited pressure. The burnout behind the high performance.

At the same time, I was doing my own inner work. Exploring health, emotions, nervous system regulation, family systems, trauma and much more. And honestly? Learning how to slow down. To feel more. To stop running from myself.

What started as a personal exploration became a quiet, powerful shift. I began to see the patterns - in myself, in others, in organizations. And I realized I couldn’t keep those two worlds separate anymore.

Now, they’ve come together. And this is the work I stand for.

With No·Ma, I’m creating what I call a third space.  

Not home. Not work. But a space in between - where you can pause, exhale, and speak up. A space where nothing has to be performed or perfected. Just brought into the light.  

Whether I’m guiding a leadership team or supporting someone at a turning point in their life - after a loss, a big decision, or when the old ways no longer fit - my approach remains the same: clear, grounded, and deeply systemic. We look at what’s under the surface - at the dynamics, emotions, and stories that quietly shape how we move through life. And we work through the body, because the body already knows while the mind still catches up.

This work is practical. Yet it’s also deeply human.

What I offer: 

 

For individuals: 1:1 coaching, family constellations, and two in-depth programs:  

  ✧ Lilith – for women returning to their own inner wisdom  

  ✧ Rooted – for those navigating cultural complexity and longing to belong  

For organizations: Strategy & team development and business constellations.

I support leadership teams in shaping strategies that are built from within.

Business constellations are an effective tool to make visible what usually stays below the surface: tensions, dynamics, loyalties and the unspoken.

All my services can be facilitated in English or Dutch.  

If that sounds like what you’ve been looking for, you’re more than welcome here.​​​​​​ Want to know more? Don’t hesitate to reach out.​

Warmly,

Sıla

Vision

No·Ma is a third space.
Not home, not work - but something in between.

It’s like a long, shared meal around a table.
The kind that stretches for hours. Where stories surface in their own time.
Where there’s space for laughter, discussion, silence, and disagreement.
It’s not perfect, but it’s real.

It slows us down and makes room for what matters.

That’s what No·Ma is about.
A place where you don’t need to have it all figured out.
Where we look at what’s underneath - name what's been there all along.
