elevating human performance and wellbeing through mastering one’s mind & emotions

Our decisions and actions are deeply influenced by our brain. From the simplest tasks to the most complex challenges, our thoughts, emotions, and perceptions shape our responses and shape our lives.

hi! I’m ellie

Here is a little story about the reasons behind being in the personal development and mental health arena. After spending over a decade in the corporate world, I hit a rough patch in 2019. Burnout and high-performance anxiety were taking their toll on me. So, I decided to take a breather—a one-year sabbatical. During that time, I did some serious inner work. I wanted to understand why some people thrive in high-pressure situations while others struggle with their mental health. It was personal. Burnout left me feeling of emptiness, disconnected and fatigued.

That sabbatical turned out to be a game-changer. It wasn't just a break—it was a complete shift in direction for my career. I dove deep into exploring human potential with the goal of answering the question of why do some people who are more talented seem to fail in life, while others with more modest gifts succeed?

My coaching career started in 2020 and it led me to where I am today—pursuing a Psychology degree with a passion for helping people elevate their performance and wellbeing by mastering the mental and emotional game.

I work with incredible people

Some want to overcome procrastination, minimize distractions, and cultivate the ability to focus more effectively on what is important to them.
Others are focused on improving their overall health and wellness, whether it's through dietary changes, increasing physical activity, managing stress or anxiety, or improving sleep habits.
Many clients are working on building their confidence and self-esteem, aiming to overcome self-doubt and fear, develop a positive self-image and a better relationship with themselves, and step into their full potential (what I call overcoming self-imposed obstacles).
Some are seeking assistance in harnessing the power of the mind and learn to self-regulate to enhance their sport, business or personal performance.
Others are looking to find happiness and inner peace within and avoid the achievement - worthiness trap. Feel the day again.

Unmasking Imposter Syndrome

In a world that often celebrates achievements and success, it's surprising to learn that many high-achieving individuals harbor deep-seated feelings of self-doubt and inadequacy. This phenomenon is known as Imposter Syndrome, a psychological phenomenon that can hinder personal and professional growth.

All procrastination is delay, but not all delay is procrastination

There are many types of delay in our lives. I believe we need to learn to appreciate this. Some delays are not only necessary, they are wise. It is wise to put things off at times rather than to act impulsively or hastily. Procrastination, in contrast to other forms of delay, is that voluntary and quite deliberate turning away from an intended action even when we know we could act on our intention right now. There is nothing preventing us from acting in a timely manner except our own reluctance to act. The question here is why are we reluctant to act? Why is it we become our own worst enemy? Why we undermine our own goal pursuit needlessly?

Conquering Overthinking for a Peaceful Mind

At times, we leave conversations uncertain about how they went. Doubts arise about whether we were friendly enough or if our words were appropriate. These uncertainties can trigger a surge of insecurities, leading us to replay the conversation in our minds. This tendency to overthink is something we are all familiar with.

While it may be difficult to completely eradicate worries, it is crucial to make changes when overthinking becomes pervasive, causing anxiety and insecurity.
