This is my introductory video, telling you something of my story. For the long version, please keep scrolling down. Enjoy!
“Life is either an adventure, or nothing.” – Helen Keller
I am ILEANA, which means, “Shining”, “Torch”, “Light” and “Bright”. (I am also an amateur photographer. All the pictures on my site were taken by me during my worldwide travels.)
I am a Master of Transformation, having reinvented myself in a deeper, richer fashion after each “learning spurt”, as I affectionately call my many challenging life situations.
I can help you transform your life from something that is not working to something that will bring you fulfillment and inner peace.
I have been called a Free Spirit, World Traveler and a Pillar of Light. I am a life-long learner, an adventurous, loving, passionate speaker, nature and animal-lover, Lightworker and some have told me, an inspiring role model. I also have some letters after my name, if they matter to you – BA (Hons), Assoc. CIPD – as well as a background in psychology and human resource management.
Assisting women to grow into the strong, confident and empowered beings they can be is a great joy for me! If this is what you are looking for, email me at ileana@PhoenixOnTheRise.com to schedule a call together.
Recent Adventures
As of July 2022, I have relocated to the south of France, which is now the 13th country I am living in. Culture shock happens every time I enter a new and unknown environment, no matter how many times I move!
For those of us who take on this huge life change without a partner, it is even more challenging. It is a time of transition when we need to adjust ourselves to many new things and also begin to form a social network. Language may also prove a frustrating and sometimes overwhelming barrier.
If you find yourself in this situation, I can help you make the transition smoother and less onerous. Having been there myself, I understand and have worked with these challenges more than once.
“We are Cosmic Beings dancing in the Field of Polarity, discovering the myriad of ways of Being in Physical Reality.”
– Ileana Rontea
My life has been full of change and new beginnings, including recovering from divorce, obesity, lack of self-love, and taking care of my mother when she passed away from cancer.
In the meantime, I also created my own small marketing and training company, which is now dormant. The website is still up and I use it as an online brochure to showcase some of the things I have done (Mind Ignition).
Most recently, along with a business partner, I have started a company which creates and delivers unique and innovative empowerment courses for women at the workplace – Empowered Women Now. As you can see, helping women become all they can be is a true passion of mine!
A Passion for Travel
After another life transition at the age of 41, I left Canada and began my nomadic phase, by working on cruise ships as a Human Resources Manager, which I did on and off for a few years.
This shipboard position was a combination of HR Manager, Teacher, Priest, Therapist, Coach and a few other hats! I was able to fully spread my wings into my Advisor role during this time, to create a much greater positive impact on others.
This was an incredible time of expansion and growth, as I had the opportunity to explore many amazing places and meet some wonderful people.
Does any of the above resonate with you?
