"The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step." - Lao Tzu

​​​​

Hi, my name is Violetta and I am an IAWP Certified Holistic Wellness Coach  and trauma informed practitioner through The Centre for Healing.

​​

My personal journey with a holistic approach to life started in 2014 when I was experiencing a difficult transition in life and felt very overwhelmed with the changes that I needed to make. Various alternative therapies rooted in a holistic approach towards healing provided me with much-needed relief for my anxiety and gave me a solid platform for starting my personal transformation.

 

The biggest change occurred for me when I realized that "change begins with me" and that I am the only person truly responsible for the reality that I experience and the future that I build for myself and my family. This allowed me to slowly grow into a more confident and resilient version of myself and to start making real progress towards transforming my life. Over time my personal work has continued along this path of taking ownership and learning how to make conscious choices aligned with who I am, what I want to create and how I want to contribute to the world.

​

Throughout my journey I learned that we all experience times when we feel stuck, unable to move forward, or unable to make the simplest decision because we are afraid to leave our comfort zone behind and step into something new. I also learned to accept this reality without judgment, because I believe that everything we want is on the other side of fear and that acceptance is the first step towards getting out of our comfort zone and moving forward.

​

Our mind so often keeps us stuck in the same loops of familiar thinking and breaking through these loops can be almost impossible without having someone to help us open the door to all the different possibilities out there. Sometimes all it takes to completely change our perspective on life is just one new idea or a simple question asked at the right moment.

 

Personally, I love helping people in reconnecting with their authentic selves and returning to the state of hope, trust, and confidence. My true passion as a coach lives within these subtle moments when a person comes to life again, gets the spark back in their eyes, and feels the urge to move, to create, and to start building their future.

 

Being a holistic wellness coach allows me to share my time, skills, and abilities with individuals who are experiencing temporary stagnation due to difficult transitions in life, or other factors, and to help them break through whatever is holding them back so that they can recognize their full potential and start taking action towards a new future. It may not be easy or comfortable, but I genuinely believe that we are all capable of taking control of our lives and creating the future that we’ve always dreamed of. If I can do it, then so can you, brick by brick, one small step at a time…
