"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 holistic approach to life and health started in 2014 when I was experiencing difficult life transition and felt very overwhelmed and alone with the changes that I needed to make.  Various alternative therapies rooted in holistic philosophy of healing provided much needed relief for my anxiety and solid platform for my personal transformation. 

 

The biggest change occurred for me when I slowly grew into more confident and resilient version of myself and realized that "change begins with me" and that I am the only person truly responsible for the reality that I experience every day and the future that I build for myself and my family.  Over time my personal work shifted more and more towards learning how to make conscious choices aligned with who I am, what I want to create and how I want to contribute to a bigger whole.

​

Through my personal experiences I learned that we all experience times when we feel stuck, unable to move forward, unable to make a simplest decision as we fear to leave our comfort zone behind and step into something new, unknown, uncertain or uncomfortable ... I also learned to accept this reality without judgment and look past stagnation because I believe that everything we want is on the other side of fear and stepping out of our comfort zone is the only way to move forward and toward what we want. 

​

Our mind so often keeps us stuck in the same loops of familiar thinking and breaking through these loops is almost impossible without having someone to help us open the door to new ideas, possibilities and choices that are always available to us.

 

Personally, I love experiencing moments when people reconnect with their authentic self and return to the state of hope, trust and confidence in their own abilities, talents and skills and this is where my passion lives ... in these subtle moments when the person comes to life again, gets the spark back in their eyes, feels the urge to move, to create, to build, to self-express ...

  

Being a holistic wellness coach allows me to share my time, skills and abilities with individuals who experience temporary stagnation due to difficult transitions in life, or other factors, and help them break through their habitual thinking holding them back so that they can recognize new possibilities and choices available to them and take inspired action towards new future aligned with their core values, dreams and desires.
