Life Coaching
What is a life coach?
As a life coach, I help people navigate change, uncover their strengths, heal from pain and take bold steps toward a more authentic, fulfilling life. Whether you're ready to embrace your next brave thing or seeking clarity and confidence, I’ll help you find the way forward.
I’m a certified life coach with over nine years of experience with a therapeutic approach. I created an emotional health curriculum for Bethel Conservatory of the Arts in the United States and lectured there for eight years.

Testimony
“My sessions with Ella started in the wake of a major professional fiasco that I was convinced was the end of my career. I was suicidally depressed. Coaching with Ella is like going to see a world class surgeon. She has an uncanny ability to pinpoint the exact source of pain, with extreme precision. I literally saw more progress with Ella in a single session than I saw in weeks with other professionals! Ella has given me the tools to know how to show myself compassion. She’s taught me how to create peace by lowering the stakes in my life. And she’s helped me to heal many parts of myself that were stuck in the past.”

Life Coaching is not therapy or counseling.
“I’ve done so much inner-healing work over the years, but my biggest breakthroughs came with Ella. She is able to see through the messiness of life and relationships and cut right to the heart of the real problem, zeroing in on issues I had been circling for years without knowing it. She talked about concepts I’d heard before but never connected to like, “Self-Compassion” and “Inner-child work.” Ella broke these things down in such a way that I actually understood how to practically apply it to my life. After just a few months working with Ella I feel much more connected to my authentic self, less afraid/ashamed of my weaknesses, and more confident in knowing how to move forward towards my dreams.”
