Reflections
Welcome to Reflections, a space for personal growth, resilience, and transformation. Come in, get comfortable, and grab something warm. Here, I share real, unfiltered stories and life lessons—the highs, lows, and all the messy in-between moments.
Whether you’re navigating change, healing, or seeking joy and purpose, I hope you find comfort, inspiration, and a sense of home here.
Problems are just areas that require attention
Professional and Personal Development, Grieving, Loss, Trauma, Transitions and Changes
In 2013, I experienced an unimaginable loss—the passing of my husband, best friend, and the father of my only son. As his primary caregiver, I witnessed firsthand the challenges of illness and the profound impact of love and loss. That journey changed me forever, shaping the way I see life, resilience, and the power of human connection.
Non-Judgmental
You come as you are, and I will meet you there. With compassion and understanding, we will work together to help you reach where you want to be.
Validation
As your coach, I align with your personal journey and agenda—I don’t offer diagnoses or pathologize emotions. Instead, I create a safe, supportive space where you can explore, grow, and move forward with confidence.
Respect
For your feelings, your pace, your values, and your unique process. Remember, I am here to support you and help guide you safely back to the place you call home—within yourself.
Coaching
Coaching is a collaborative, client-centered journey, where we work together to uncover your best path forward.
About
Meet Helena
Originally from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, Helena immigrated to Canada in 2005. Now a Canadian citizen, widow, and devoted single mother, she has been raising her teenage son in this beautiful country.
She now calls the stunning North Okanagan home, residing in Vernon, BC. Surrounded by rolling hills, lush forests, and crystal-clear, warm lakes, she embraces the region’s natural beauty and outdoor lifestyle.
In the fall of 2020, Helena embarked on her journey to become a certified Life Coach at Rhodes Wellness College. What appeared to be a new beginning was, in reality, the culmination of her lifelong passion for personal growth, resilience, and guiding others through life’s transitions.
I’m not the one saying it!
I have known Helena for several years now. One always knows when one meets someone special. Helena has the “it” factor for Life Coaching. We have had many many conversations about her journey which is full of life experience. She is a natural.
From the first time I met Helena, I have always been amazed by her passion for anything that she wants to do. And she does it better than most. Additionally, Helena has an excellent rapport with everyone. She is enthusiastic, humble, honest and is naturally articulate.
