And your life?
It’s ready for you to jump in with both feet, pointed towards love, wealth, happiness + freedom.
This is the story of how I uncovered my Soul Purpose + came to embody what I spent years learning about, and teaching. That is: living a life where I don’t have to sacrifice my needs, desires, integrity or abundance in the process.
HI YOU, I’M ORNELLA
I’m yoga teacher, sound healer + subconscious mind coach/life coach who helps busy humans unlock beautiful, necessary transformations in a gentle, and light way, and enter into a self + life that feels GOOD, sustainable + empowering.
I’m a self-made business owner, 5-star offer host, spiritually awakened, world traveler, and personal development obsessed.
BUT TO KNOW HOW I GOT HERE, YOU SHOULD KNOW how I started.
I’m the eldest daughter, born in the most wild, fun and beautiful place - Nairobi, Kenya. But it was a high-pressure environment. By 18 I held a Diploma in Piano Performance, had show-jumped (Equestrian) for my country, held Music and All Rounder Scholarships, and by 21 I graduated from University with a First-Class Honours. I always set out to be the best at what I did, my perfectionism was at full blaze, but it paid off, it got me the results.
However, in the background of all that pressure, control, high expectations + deep-seated fear of failure was the creation of a coping mechanism. Food. Or the lack of it. I battled with my body and mind, numbing it however I could, as long as I was in control, it felt good.
When I was 17 I attended my first yoga class - a community session on my old school’s playing fields. I went in with the attitude of getting even leaner + working on my flexibility. I came out with a mind that was soft, quiet, gentle + even compassionate towards myself. It was profound. I kept going back. Yoga slowly but surely healed my body-mind relationship. It led me down the path to journalling, meditation, breathwork, spirituality, and self-development. Yoga changed my life.
We fast-forward to 21, post-university. I declined a very good job offer from a world-leading NGO to work for a small start-up on the shores of Kenya. I quickly grew to Program Leader within a few months and spent beautiful days cleaning and planting coral, working with local villages, and traveling up and down the coast…but the thing is, if you’re not in authentic alignment, it will make itself known. Huge parts of me felt like I was NOT where I should be. And it broke me down.
so i booked a ticket to kathmandu, nepal. i did my 200hr yoga training. i returned to kenya + quit my job to share the transformational practices + teachings that changed my internal world so drastically that i couldnt recognise myself anymore. in the best way possible.
AND HERE IT ALL BEGAN…
I realized we don’t have to live this way. And the path to healing doesn’t have to be grueling + heavy + full of chest-wrenching tears. It can be fun. It can be an exploration. It can be light, gentle and feel really safe. I set out to teach yoga. To bring people back to their bodies, to help break their walls down so they could finally HEAR themselves, their true selves. I quickly realized I needed more tools.
DRUM ROLLL…..The Life Coach training came in. Specifically Neuro Linguistic Programming + TimeLine Therapy.
At 23, I launched my business as a yoga teacher and sound healer, but also as a life coach. At the same time, I fell in love with a man who fuelled my growth even further, I started traveling every 3 weeks to truly explore the undertones of what it meant to live a happy, healthy, free and love-filled life. I worked with as many different kinds of souls as I could - from financial analysts to startup artists, from single women to full-time mums, from men in product development to men in the spiritual world, from students to retirees.
And the feedback I was getting was heart-warmingly, mind-blowingly AWESOME! I was so proud of the shifts my clients were making. So I knew I wanted to go ALL IN. I "“coincidently” (we don’t believe in coincidences here) stumbled across a woman who was making HUGE impact online as a coach, retreat leader + business owner.
I took a loan and invested in her 3-month coaching container, and already made that investment back in less than 2 months. And THAT is where I learned the power of investing. The energetics behind energy exchange. Investing in yourself, in your growth, is incredible (and the more scary it feels, the more it’ll activate + expand you).
I LEARNED THE secret to my magic was bridging the worlds of yoga, meditation + awareness building, with the inner workings of the mind, the subconscious wiring + the routines of which we build our lives around. i do this to serve visionary humans who need to go deeper to transform + truly understand how fundamental the inner work is for changing their outer world.
Now, I live in Geneva, Switzerland with my loving + supportive partner, and soon, my little doggy from Kenya. My business has fully launched online and I have helped dozens of clients turn their goals and dreams into their realities, to clarify what/who they truly want so that we can rewire the subconscious mind to streamline for exactly that, and to put in routines, habits + mindsets that make growth feel sustainable, safe, expansive and fun!
It’s about building long-term joy, love and happiness. It’s about waking up each morning excited to live your day-to-day life.
As an individual, I am the happiest I have ever been. I feel the fittest, strongest, healthiest, and most whole version of myself. I feel I truly have learned what it takes to be able to hold yourself through life’s inevitable ups and downs. My perfectionism + ‘flaws’ are transmuting into my greatest powers as we speak, because of my infusion of yoga into ALL my teachings, we believe nothing is truly good or bad, so successes + failures play on a level playing field of providing us with WISDOM.
I’m an expert in strategy AND energy, mind AND body work - meaning: I am grounded and practical, providing you with science-backed, logical methods + practices, while also being embodied and intuitive, meaning I tap into emotions, energetics and the more subtle internal works that can never be noted down in words.
I can help you upgrade your mindset, blast through limiting beliefs that have held you back for decades, and feel so grounded and safe in your body + (regulated) nervous system so that you can expand sustainably to an unparalleled version of you.
MY MAGIC IS HELPING YOU REMEMBER THAT YOU ALREADY HAVE IT ALL INSIDE, ITS JUST ABOUT BRINGING YOUR GIFTS TO THE SURFACE, AND CREATING SUSTAINABLE TOOLS, PRACTICES + MINDSETS TO ENSURE YOU LIVE THE LIFE OF YOUR DREAMS, AS THE PERSON OF YOUR DREAMS.
