Root in safety.
Rise into your authentic self
Root & Rise Integrative Coaching Center offers a compassionate space to slow down, to be heard and reconnect with your inner resources. Through trauma-informed integrative lens, you learn about yourself more deeply, move beyond limiting patterns, and create a life grounded in confidence, connection and choice.
Sometimes we adapt so well to life's challenges that we lose connection with what we truly feel, need and want. You may appear capable on the outside while internally experiencing self-doubt, emotional overwhelm, difficulty setting boundaries or a persistent feeling that something is holding you back.
Together, we explore what supports you in feeling grounded, making conscious choices and moving forward in a way that feels authentic to you. You do not need to become someone else. Growth begins by building a safer and more understanding relationship with who you already are.
If this feels familiar, you can begin by exploring the coaching areas below and noticing what speasks to you.

TESTIMONIALS
Compassionate and Powerful Presence
I joined the training during a major transition in my life, feeling overwhelmed, lost, and uncertain. That was when I met Helena. Her compassion and powerful presence made me feel truly seen, safe, and grounded. My 1:1 session with Helena was transformative. She didn’t give me answers, but helped me rediscover what was within. I deepened my understanding of coaching and learned to connect more sensitively with others, opening my heart without fear of judgment. After our session, I felt lighter, more connected, and more confident in my path forward.

Sensitivity and Adaptability
Helena’s coaching style is powerful and unique. She combines strong coaching skills with sensitivity and adaptability, which allows us to go very deep in a short time. She always brings me back to my own answers, guiding me with techniques that help me work through challenges in a safe and supportive way. One of her greatest strengths is how she adapts to each person — meeting you exactly where you are, whether through conversation, guided visualizations, or other tools. Every session feels complete, insightful, and transformative. I always leave with more clarity and confidence in myself, as well as the confidence to support others.

Courage and growth
Helena has been my life coach for almost a year and I truly owe her a lot. The first time we
met, I was overwhelmed with duties and responsibilities towards my family, my job and my
partner, and this had led me to have severe anxiety crises and panic attacks. Also, I wasn't
sure I wanted to continue living abroad and I was terrified of having to admit to myself that I
had doubts about my future and that I needed help (the direction of my life and my role in
others ‘people life had always been so straight-forward and clear!). I was so busy caring
about others’ expectations and “doing the right thing” that I had forgotten how to focus on
my own happiness and what I want.
Helena has showed me how to be true to myself and to embrace my feelings. I have learned
(and I am still learning because life is a journey) to be more genuine and authentic to myself,
to gain perspective and to acknowledge and accept my insecurities and flaws and let them
be whatever it is, to allow myself to feel sad, to fail and to break just like anyone else. I see
now that I have always been the main character of my story and that my story can evolve
and change every single day, it is just up to me to make it happen.— Coco
