Meet Your Coach, Ellen

Certified Divorce Coach (CDC) trained to support clients through every stage of the divorce process
Certified Divorce Specialist (CDS) with training in communication, core knowledge of the legal, financial, mental health and real estate aspects of divorce

Certified Life Coach, Lumia Coaching - Trained in transformational coaching methods that integrate mindset work, emotional awareness and future focused action.
20+ years of Corporate Experience in leadership and systems (so structure, planning and clear communications are second nature)
Lived Experience - As someone who’s gone through a complex divorce, co-parented, solo-parented and rebuilt, I don’t just talk the talk - I’ve walked the path too.
5+ years of coaching that blends strategy with emotional support (because this is about more than just logistics)

I’m a multi-certified coach who’s navigated co-parenting, full-time single parenting while holding down a demanding career - I know what real-life resilience looks like,
I started Better Days to offer the kind of support I wish I had during my toughest days: practical, strategic and emotionally grounded.
In the early days of my divorce journey, I lived in 6 different homes, had 2 different lawyers who weren’t the right fit, and only talked to my ex through text while have shared custody. Despite all this, my kids and I are thriving!
I balance coaching with corporate leadership, entrepreneurship, and raising two children. Efficiency and empathy are my superpowers.
I was born and raised in Toronto and Mississauga, Ontario and currently living in Oakville. My parents are Filipino immigrants that came to Canada in the 70’s.

I don’t believe in sugarcoating. I believe in clarity, self respect and creating a future you can feel proud of.
