How my journey began

Ela Opatowiecka Art & Coach

 

I am a life and business coach.

I am a graduate of Erickson Coaching International and a member of the ICF.

I have helped people along their unique path to happiness for years.

My specialty is working with children of all ages and their families.

I have worked with family models; for example biological, foster, adoptive.

Supporting families raising kids with special needs has always been my passion.

I also have experience with applying therapy to adults living with disabilities.

In my psychological work, I was using Milton Erickson's approach.

My Master Degree in Psychology, obtained in Poland, additional post-diploma training, and 15 years of psychological experience, prepared me to work with people who have experienced trauma.

I continue giving support to people living with addiction and mental challenges in Vancouver DTES.

My life experiences, along with my education have given me a solid base of understanding what you will need from me when we meet.

No matter what have you experienced in the past, rest assured you have the power to create your future and achieve the goals you strive for.

I am also an artist. I believe that art and coaching have a lot in common. I invite you to take a look at my gallery for photography and intuitive paintings.

In the past, I was also a pantomime actor. Art has taught me how to be creative and connect to my feelings. I consider including art in our coaching sessions but only if you want to.

I also love travelling because it allows me to become more open-minded, expand my knowledge of human interactions and helps me understand diversity. Metaphorically speaking, coaching is like travelling. No matter what did you experience in the past, it can help you create your future.

Additionally, I love yoga. Yoga gives me the power of breathing and enjoying the present moment to smell the roses and just being.

“Create your beautiful future.

You can do it.

I believe that you have all resources to be happy already.

Let me assist you on this beautiful journey.

Let’s go. “
