Dr. Stein's Amazon international bestselling book, “What If It’s NOT Depression? Your Guide to Finding

She pursued graduate studies in finance and business law, and dedicated her career to entrepreneurship, becoming a skilled business strategist.
In parallel with her thriving career, Silvia faced relentless and chronic depression, exploring over 60
different treatments without finding sustained relief. Her personal struggle, combined with her extensive
background in human transformation and mind-body connection, led her to develop a program that
remarkably eradicated 25 years of depression symptoms, leaving her depression-free ever since.
This breakthrough later inspired the creation of the Healing Depression Project, and helping others break

Michael Roesslein holds a Master’s Degree in Exercise Science & Health Promotion, is a certified Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner, and a CHEK Holistic Lifestyle Coach. He has also completed Dr. Gabor Mate's Compassionate Inquiry program, the 2-year training at the Luminous Awareness Institute, and is a certified facilitator of Biodynamic Breathwork & Trauma Release System (BBTRS).
Michael's journey has been one of deepening levels of healing & transformation from fitness to nutrition to functional health coaching, and now into the world of mental, emotional, spiritual, and energetic well-being.
This was not only born out of natural curiosity, but out of necessity, Michael has suffered from severe depression and anxiety for most of his life, along with significant ADD/ADHD all of which led to self-medication, unhealthy and dangerous coping and avoidance tactics, and on several occasions, suicidal ideations.
By applying what he has learned over the last 15 years in many advanced training programs, along with mentorships under several practitioners across the full spectrum of healing, he has been able to experience radical improvements in quality of life and resilience during difficult times.
Michael will begin facilitating workshops, retreats, and private sessions focused on emotional healing, trauma resolution, nervous system regulation, and grief processing via his new platform, Anima Somatic Self Discovery starting in early 2025 — in addition to his work here at Rebel Health.
Originally from the Chicago area, Michael currently lives in Lucca, Italy with his wife, Mira and young son, Elio.
