don’t talk about it. be about it.
Step 1: Run Your Own Race
If you've been feeling overlooked, overworked, or have already gotten to that point where you’re just plain over it, you've come to the right place. Confide Creative coaching is designed for those who want to reclaim their voice, reignite their passions, and get the personalized support they need to grow in their careers and lives.
I specialize in working with leaders and legacy builders who are ready to make meaningful changes—whether it's tapping back into your creativity, taking bold steps in your leadership, or getting the accountability to move your career to the next level. If this sounds like you, I’m excited to help you rise & shine!
Step 2: Choose Your Lane
I’ve crafted three coaching offerings to address the unique needs of those of you who are tired of making ends meet only to survive but feel ready to shift gears towards what it takes to truly thrive. Take a look at each offer below and select the one that resonates most with your current goals. Once you’ve chosen your lane, you’ll fill out a Coaching Alignment Form to share more about where you are right now and what you’re looking to achieve.
What Alignment Looks Like For Me: Alignment means we’re both on the same page about your goals and the type of support you need to move forward. It’s about us being able to vibe off one another and establish a shared commitment to the work we’ll do together. Here’s what Alignment Could Look Like For You:
You’re Ready to Invest in Your Growth: Whether you're looking to reignite your creativity, build your leadership skills, or take control of your career, you’re prepared to make the time and financial investment necessary to create meaningful change.
You’re Open to Creative Approaches: I blend various artistic modalities with coaching to help you tap into your creativity and expand your potential. If you're open to exploring creative methods like movement (dance), rhythm (percussion), sound (music), writing (poetry), and presence (theatre), we’ll be in great alignment! PS. If you have no previous artistic experience, you’re ready to check self-judgement at the door because there is not one right way to be creative and having previous artistic experience isn’t even necessary!
You’re Looking for Real Accountability: You want a coach who will challenge you and hold you accountable, someone who isn’t afraid to push you to the next level. If you're ready for honest feedback and practical action steps, we're likely a great fit!
You’re Ready to Take Ownership of Your Journey: If you're prepared to take responsibility for your own success and are ready for a partnership that prioritizes your personal and professional development, I’m all about that! .
What Alignment Doesn’t Look Like: While I’m excited to support those who are ready to grow, alignment also means that I need to be clear about what I can and can’t offer. If any of the following apply, we likely are not the best fit at this time:
Not Ready for Change: If you’re not yet ready to make an investment in yourself or commit to a transformative process for growth, this might not be the right time.
Looking for Quick Fixes: My coaching isn’t about offering quick fixes or empty promises—it’s about real, deep transformation. If you're seeking short-term solutions without long-term commitment, we may not be aligned.
Not Open to Creative Methods: If you're looking for a very traditional or strictly by-the-book coaching structure without a creative, holistic approach that integrates life and career, my style may not be a fit for you.
I only want to make sure that our coaching partnership is the best fit for you. If you’re ready to commit to you and open up to the possibilities ahead, I can’t wait to see how we can work together.
Step 3: Achieve Your Personal Best
You’re determined and ready to invest in your growth and make a change that honors your creativity and career goals.
You’re committed to developing the leadership, career, and personal skills to thrive.
You’re focused on moving past those moments where you maybe felt othered, disrespected, or misunderstood in your professional journey and now you know it’s time to build your own unique path with the support you deserve.
Fill out the Coaching Alignment Form below the offering that interests you most, and I’ll review your responses within 1 week. If we’re aligned, I’ll share the next steps and booking details to get you started on your journey!

“Working with Elena was an emotionally cathartic experience, unlike any type of therapy and or coaching that I've ever received. What I enjoyed about our sessions was being able to show up in my most vulnerable yet authentic self. I came to her regarding my creative business and wanted to work with someone to help me figure out what I should do next. Not to mention, I was creatively blocked on top of that. Working through blockages at MY OWN PACE was important to me because I am a single mom and work full-time with a very limited schedule, and she helped create a safe space for me to do that. My biggest takeaway is that I can take my time to be my own CEO so long as I show up with intention, a game plan, and the willingness to put in the work. She curated our sessions specific to me and it wasn't about completing an agenda on a checklist. I am so thankful to Elena because she came at a time when I didn't know that I needed her or her guidance or her support. I was in a place where I didn't know what direction I wanted to move in but she helped me to see what it was I wanted, how to make a plan, and what my next step could be by encouraging me to do my own work. My biggest word of advice to you if you're considering working with Elena is to remember that this is your journey!!! She is here to support you, but you are the one that has to put in the work. And if you decide to move forward, I applaud you for making the investment because it is worth it.“

“I was very skeptical of coaching at first. I didn’t think coaching was for me — especially because I’m a very driven person already, even if I get lost sometimes, and I have a very unique / non-traditional journey. But when I started working with Elena, all of that changed. She immediately understood me and helped me identify paths to growth and amplify what makes me special. I didn’t think my unique, creative journey fit typical ladders to opportunity, but she literally helped me trail blaze. It got to the point where Elena understood where I was coming from before I even said anything — she picks up on energy and what makes people special right away. That’s a rare gift. Her brilliance combined with her kindness and active listening inspired me to lean into my journey more than I had before — by like 1000000 percent. (Yes, that many zeroes)... I always felt like I could be my authentic self around Elena. So my advice for people considering coaching with Elena: no matter what your reservations may be, or where you are on your journey, please TAKE THE LEAP and try coaching with her. I promise you, no matter how reflective you think you are (or not at all), there are still parts of yourself you didn’t even realize that she can help you unlock and empower. She will meet you where you are on your journey — and she’s all in. Elena’s lessons literally changed my life — I know that sounds hyperbolic, but I really mean it. I didn’t expect how much I would be changed.”

“Elena is an insightful, impactful, and brilliant coach who helped me gain clarity on where I want to go with my career. I reached out at a time when I was feeling beyond frustrated with my job hunt, stuck in my career, and not sure where I wanted to go. AFTER OUR SPRINT, I have a clear picture for the next 3-5 years of my career, a strong sense of my values and life non-negotiables, and a roadmap for how to get where I want to go.
