ABOUT ESTELA
Estela De Wulf is a certified Positive Discipline Parenting Coach, Family Conflict Mediator and Life Coach for teenagers and young adults. Estela specializes in private and semi-private coaching for two main publics:
- parents seeking conscious parenting and high-performance family relationships; and
- teenagers and young adults seeking a purposeful and fulfilling life.
With her unique warmth and ability to join her clients wherever they are in their specific needs and goals, Estela’s approach combines science-based principles with skill-building practice and tools needed to put wisdom into action. She sees parenting and family life as possibly the most powerful path to self-discovery and personal growth.
Born and raised in Brazil and residing in Los Angeles, CA, since 2012, Estela was formerly a corporate lawyer and also served for many years on non-profit boards as a top level executive in the fields of child protection and children’s social emotional education.
“It is my personal mission to help restore the power of family in creating a healthier, happier and kinder society.”
Working closely with communities in high social risk, Estela was immersed in learning about childhood trauma, its impact on society and the urgency to prevent it. Regardless of their social status, Estela sees all children and youth in today’s world exposed to a wide array of complex risks and sees as urgent that as adults we take our responsibility seriously as conscious and loving leaders, caretakers and guides.
Aside her Life Coaching, Positive Discipline Parenting and Mediation and Conflict Resolution certifications, Estela’s various studies also included Positive Psychology, Mindfulness, Neuroscience and Family Systems, as well as ancient Eastern philosophies and spirituality.
Estela is recently divorced from her husband of over 20 years. Both are fully engaged in collaboratively co-parenting their teenage daughter, Rachel, who is their greatest inspiration to continue growing and improving as parents and human beings. Conscious uncoupling is now one of Estela’s favourite topics in the context of family relationships and, in her opinion, the greatest gift anyone going through a divorce can give their children and themselves.
