Welcome to Embracing Renewal, a space where you learn to understand yourself, transform your relationships, and move through life with clarity and emotional freedom.
If you’re here, it’s likely because something in your life feels heavy, confusing, or stuck.
Maybe you’ve tried doing it alone — managing the stress, carrying the expectations, solving the same problems over and over — but nothing seems to shift.
Coaching is the space where you stop managing your patterns and start transforming them.
Here, we work with the root of your emotions, your language, your interpretations, and your embodied responses — so you can finally understand why you feel the way you feel, and how to create new possibilities in your life.
People come to coaching because something in their emotional world, relationships, or identity isn’t working anymore.
Here are some of the issues you might recognize in your own life:
🌱 Emotional Patterns
- You get overwhelmed easily and can’t explain why
- You feel guilt when you set boundaries — or when you even think about setting them
- You’re caught in recurring emotions like resentment, sadness, anger, or anxiety
- You avoid conflict because it feels unsafe or exhausting
- You feel disconnected from yourself or out of alignment with who you want to be
🧩 Relationship Difficulties
- Communication breaks down or turns into misunderstanding
- You feel unseen, unheard, or emotionally alone
- You over-give and under-receive
- You keep attracting the same type of partner
- You stay quiet to “keep the peace” but end up resentful
- You struggle to express your needs clearly
- You lose yourself in relationships or feel responsible for everyone’s emotions
🧠 Internal Barriers & Self-Doubt
- You doubt your decisions and second-guess yourself constantly
- You struggle to trust yourself or your emotional reactions
- You feel blocked, stuck, or unable to move toward your goals
- You carry old stories, trauma beliefs, or inherited emotional patterns
- You feel like you’re not living up to your potential
💼 Life, Work, and Identity Stress
- You feel pressure to perform, manage, or be the strong one
- You struggle with burnout, exhaustion, or lack of motivation
- You want to make changes but don’t know where to start
- You feel lost between who you are and who you want to become
- You’re navigating transitions — career changes, breakups, identity shifts
💛 Boundaries & Personal Power
- You say yes when you want to say no
- You feel guilty asking for what you need
- You avoid setting boundaries because you fear the reaction
- You feel responsible for fixing everything and everyone
- You overextend yourself and then feel resentment
🌬️ Mind-Body Connection
- Your body reacts before your mind understands
- You feel tension, heaviness, or somatic discomfort tied to emotional triggers
- You want to understand the meaning of your symptoms (biodecoding)
- You want to learn to regulate yourself before communicating
✨ What Coaching With Me Offers
Through ontological coaching, biodecoding, emotional literacy, and somatic awareness, I help you:
- understand the origins of your emotions
- break the cycles that keep you stuck
- communicate with clarity and confidence
- set boundaries without guilt
- transform your relationships
- reconnect with your body’s wisdom
- become the version of yourself you’ve been growing toward
Coaching is not advice. It’s not “fixing.”
It’s the powerful process of discovering how your language, your emotions, and your body shape your reality — and learning to shift all three.
If you’re ready for change, I’m here.

What is Ontological Coaching, and How Can It Transform Your Life?
“Ontological coaching isn’t your typical coaching method. Rooted deeply in philosophy and linguistics, it focuses on your ‘way of being’—how you observe, interpret, and engage with the world around you. Instead of merely setting goals or changing behaviors temporarily, this approach reshapes the very lens through which you see yourself and your possibilities. By working…
Transform Your Perspective: The Journey to an Open Heart
How I changed the way I view the world. My self-exploration journey started a decade ago, where deep unhappiness and a constant sense of disconnection shadowed my days.

How Prioritizing Myself Makes Me a Better Mom
Motherhood is a beautiful, rewarding journey filled with love, laughter, and countless precious moments. However, while nurturing our little ones, it’s easy for moms to neglect their own needs.

About Me
Welcome to my site!
I’m Celia Vandenbergh, an ontological and biodecoding coach dedicated to helping people reconnect with themselves, understand their emotional world, and transform the way they live, love, and communicate.
For more than 15 years, my professional life was rooted in financial operations management within a large multinational organization — all while building my family and growing as a leader. My logical, analytical mind thrived in problem-solving, improving systems, and creating structure. And yet, the part of my work I loved the most was supporting my team members in their growth, helping them see their potential, and holding space for their development.
But behind all that competence and responsibility, I carried something I didn’t fully understand:
an underlying unhappiness I couldn’t fix with logic.
Even with a beautiful family, a successful career, and a life that looked “right” from the outside… I felt disconnected from genuine joy. And no amount of overthinking, analyzing, or pushing through could solve it.
My journey truly began the day I realized:
this wasn’t a practical problem — it was an emotional one.
And emotional problems require emotional solutions.
Through Biodecoding, I learned to listen to my body — to understand how every symptom, tension, and physical reaction was speaking the language of unresolved emotions.
Through Reiki, I learned to feel the connection between my emotional world and the life force that moves through all of us. It awakened a part of me — my intuition, my spirituality, my sense of connection.
And through Ontological Coaching, I found the framework that brought everything together.
It gave me the tools to integrate my logic, my emotional intelligence, and my lived experience into a practice that focuses on transforming our way of being through awareness, language, and action.
Today, I am proud to support people as they navigate their own transformations — helping them reconnect with their body, their emotions, and their needs so they can finally live with clarity, fulfillment, and inner peace.
It is both an honor and a privilege to walk alongside others in their healing journey.
Supporting transformation is more than my profession —
it’s the purpose I grew into, the work I love, and the way I choose to contribute to a more conscious, compassionate world.
