I’m Nelia, not only the Art & Soul Purpose Life Coach but also a wife, mother, creator, and first generation Portuguese Canadian. I am certified through the Dharmaˆ Coaching Institute (DCI).

It all started for me when I found that my family dynamic was changing before me. My children growing up and the loss of my parents, had me feeling like there needs to be more to my life, so I began searching for more and I started on a spiritually inspired path, seeking personal development through self-help workshops, books and podcasts for guidance on how to nourish my soul. Not until the unprecedented pandemic and lock-downs of 2020 did things open up for me. I was forced to spend time with myself and really reflect. It was the best medicine and I believe the universe nudged me along to where I came upon the Dharma Coaching Institute. I learned about the DCI certification during an episode of the Highest Self with Sahara Rose podcast, and I heard my soul whisper “YES, that’s it!” (not literally) so, I followed my intuition. It has been the one thing that brings my mind, body, and soul back into balance with the feeling of more purpose.

I recognized that I was passionate about inspiring and empowering other women to live more aligned with their soul’s purpose. I love watching the transformation and it’s very rewarding to see women become happier, more confident, and better equipped to deal with challenges in their lives.

I enjoy being creative and have been a graphic designer for many years, something I still enjoy but, working full time in marketing was holding me back from expressing my creative side it didn’t allow me much time for myself. In my coaching sessions I like to add some form of creative element, to help my clients authentically express themselves. constantly growing and evolving.

I also do content creation for the purpose-driven and freedom loving business owners. If this resonates with you I invite you to reach out and connect with me.
