About

“To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment.”


Who I am and what motivates me
My name is Etienne Yvelin, and what drives me is to see fulfilment emerge from within. My attachment to caring and my curiosity about others naturally led me to coaching Formation at BAO-Elan Vital, Brussels, today, a member of the cooperative Smart . Convinced by the power of personal transformation and the importance of a life aligned with one's values, I now put my experience at your service to help you cultivate peace with yourself and others.

An atypical career
My career path has taken several different paths. Diagnosed with dyslexia and hyperactivity at a very young age, I chose to study engineering at 18, probably to avoid the humanities. After graduating, a few years in the workplace and a number of significant experiences, my passions for philosophy and the human condition caught up with me. They led me to coaching, a path where I can fully accompany you on your own journey.

A Quest for Meaning and Links
Philosophy I don't adhere to a single philosophy and continue to explore new ones. However, I am particularly influenced by the existentialist and transcendentalist movements. As do Stoicism, Buddhism and Taoism, all of which inform my daily practice. that accompanies me every day is also one of the disciplines that helps me to better understand human behaviour. Relationships — with oneself, with others and with life — have always been at the heart of my concerns. What drives me is the richness of human connections and the constant quest for harmony between these dimensions.

A constant commitment to inclusive, caring coaching
I am committed to a process of continuous learning to refine my approach and enrich my practice. Sensitive to social movements — class inequality, racism, sexism, LGBTQIA+ rights, ... — I believe that everyone is free to express their identities and opinions. As a coach, my responsibility is to create an inclusive and caring environment where everyone can develop in safety. Each individual, in all their complexity, deserves caring attention and unconditional respect.

A global approach for a profound transformation
My approach is holistic and proactive, encompassing all aspects of life and well-being. I believe that a balance between the mental, the emotional, the physical and the world is essential for a lasting transformation.
