About me
Hi, I’m Ell, and I’ve walked the path you’re on now.
After ending a ten-year relationship and calling off my wedding, I faced the gut-wrenching pain, confusion, and identity crisis that comes with starting over. Like you, I had moments where I questioned everything who I was, what I wanted, and whether I'd ever feel like me again.
But here's what surprised me: the key to moving forward wasn't just processing the past it was actively creating a new future rooted in self-worth, emotional safety, and clear boundaries.
My journey of restarting over
I'm no stranger to letting go and beginning again:
Ended a 10-year relationship and called off my wedding
Left another 3-year relationship when I knew it wasn't aligned
Walked away from my corporate career after 10+ years
Moved countries and became a digital nomad
Built new businesses and communities from scratch
Learned to trust myself through every uncertain transition
Each restart taught me something invaluable: You don't need to have it all figured out. You just need to trust that you're worthy of the life you're building.
Why I do this work
Traditional therapy absolutely has its place (I've been in and out of it since I was 19). But what was missing for me and what I now bring to you through my work is the guidance, structure, and daily support that helps you move through heartbreak and life transitions with direction and self-compassion.
That's why I created The Breakup Big Sis Course and why I offer 1:1 coaching: to give women the hand-holding, practical tools, and emotional support I wish I'd had during my darkest days.
You don't need fixing you just need guidance. And that's exactly what my work gives you.
My approach
My work blends emotional healing, nervous system regulation, and attachment repair delivered in a way that’s practical, gentle, and real.
I believe healing should be:
Doable: daily lessons and tools that fit into your real life.
Honest: no sugarcoating, just truth, empathy, and hope.
Empowering: because you’re not broken, you’re becoming.
My background
I’m an ICF-trained coach with deep study in attachment work, emotional healing, and self-leadership. But my greatest lessons have come from lived experience, navigating the dark, messy, beautiful journey of heartbreak myself.
Before this, I built multiple businesses and women communities in Lisbon & globally, but nothing has felt more meaningful than helping women come home to themselves.
Beyond the work
When I’m not helping you heal or recording my podcast, you’ll find me ocean swimming, journalling, trying a new fun activity or exploring new corners of the world with a matcha in hand.
I believe healing doesn’t have to be heavy, it can be honest, freeing, and even a little bit humorous.
So if you’re ready to turn your heartbreak into your breakthrough, I’d love to walk beside you for the next 30 days.
