Meet Ellen
“I’m a Registered Professional Counselor, Life Coach, and mom of four with a deep passion for helping others live with purpose, zeal and resilience. Life can be messy, unpredictable, and full of ups and downs—but I believe there’s incredible strength in learning to embrace that mess. I’m real about life and won’t shy away from sharing my own journey, using personal stories to guide and support you whenever I feel it will make a difference. My mission is to guide you through life’s complexities, helping you find clarity, confidence, and the courage to walk boldly in who you were designed to be. Together, we’ll navigate the challenges and turn them into stepping stones toward a life of fulfillment and purpose.”

Connection is essential for human well-being. Working with me, you can expect authentic & meaningful conversations during our time together. With warmth & care, I help clients to gain awareness of who they are & how to overcome challenges. In that healing connection, I see clients create a new story for themselves.
Through personal experiences, I have learned what it means to step outside the comfort zone with courage. I now have the training, compassion & passion to guide others in discovering their hidden potential and strengths.
I believe we should never stop learning. We can never have enough wisdom or knowledge. I continue to engage in training & supervision, to provide each individual with the best care I can give.
I live in the beautiful Okanagan Valley, in Kelowna BC. My 'happy place' is in nature, hiking, waterfall exploring, strolling beside a stream, enjoying sunshine on a beach with my toes dug in the sand, or just finding a quiet hilltop to rest and enjoy the view. Being in nature is my calm, my grounding place. It is where I feel at peace with God, myself and the world around me. I believe that nature has a way of calming & healing the soul.
