Heart-led Living. Creative Expression. Ever Unfolding.

I’m Ornella, a storyteller and space-holder with a passion for helping individuals and conscious brands connect deeply—with themselves, with others, and with their audiences.

I’m originally from Antwerp, Belgium, where I am currently based, though life has taken me to Tel Aviv, Paris, and the Netherlands. My journey has been a blend of science, creativity, and soul—a path shaped by curiosity about the human experience.

My academic roots lie in Psychology (B.A.) and Health & Social Psychology (M.Sc.), where I focused on human flourishing rather than pathology. I even published my first research on positive body image for the scientific journal Elsevier. But over time, I felt called to explore the stories and creative energy that lie beyond the confines of research.

In 2019, I started my online community and coaching services, using my training in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Yin Yoga to guide others toward alignment with their values. Through these experiences, I discovered my true passion: empowering people and brands to tell their stories with clarity, authenticity, and heart.

Today, I weave together my analytical background with my creative instincts, offering services in storytelling, writing, and space-holding. My approach is intentional and intuitive—balancing strategy with soul.

At the core of everything I do is a deep desire to inspire people to connect with their “center,” uncover their unique essence, and create meaningful impact. Whether it’s through words, visuals, or gatherings, I aim to bring ideas to life in ways that feel authentic and beautiful.

When I’m not working, you’ll find me nourishing my own creativity and well-being—meditating, journaling, enjoying music, spending time in nature, or connecting with loved ones. I am also a recovering perfectionist, learning to embrace the beauty of imperfection as I continue to grow, express, and live in alignment with my heart.

My life’s mission is simple yet profound:
To live authentically, create from the heart, and inspire others to do the same.

With love,
Ornella x
