Andra Ciocan & Madison Bellamy
Friends, Enthusiasts, Empaths and Co-Founders of Life’s Rails Community.
Our visions aligned, so we decided to give them a go!
Andra Ciocan,
Current Founder
Hiya! My name is Andra Ciocan, certified Life Coach and Founder of the Life’s Rails Community blog & brand! A few tid-bits about me are that I am the Founder of OWLAH, an awareness organization and community shop for Owl and Raptor enthusiasts everywhere, and past Creative Director for Save the Bees Project, now Bee Mission. I am passionate about the interests of animals just as much as those of humans!
To sum up, for the last 15 years I have consulted, coached, mentored & tutored for organizations such as KUMON, GAP Year South Africa, SFU FCAT Mentorship Program, SFU Leadership Program, Transcending Martial Arts, and I’ve tutored people of all ages in Math and English. I’ve acquired a great understanding and fascination for human habits, practices, coping mechanisms and interactions, by working with so many people from all walks of life , over the past 13 years.
With this interest came the the idea for Life’s Rails! I had a vision to help others go through the ‘ah-ha’ moments I have gone through and I wanted to coach about how those realizations have impacted my own life for the best and how they can impact others’ lives as well. I can’t wait to continue on my path of helping people, by teaching and advocating for the best lifestyle someone can possibly design to live.
Madison Bellamy,
Previous Co-Founder
Hello, I’m Madison! I’m a certified Life Coach and soon to be certified Professional Counsellor. I’m completing my counsellor training at Rhodes Wellness College for the class of 2021. Over the course of my life’s lessons, challenges, and failures, I’ve developed a passion for mentoring others on how to overcome the hard stuff, learn about themselves, their lives, and their relationships, and find true purpose and enjoyment in living this thing we call life.
I’ve learned from navigating childhood trauma, long-term relationships, addictions, failures, friendships, and family dynamics. The last 3 years of my life following a few major life changes have led me down a path of personal development. My life experience combined with my training has allowed me to focus on a vision in developing, teaching, mentoring and supporting others on their own mental health journey through experiential learning and coaching.
My own transformation has been so profound that I want to inspire others. I feel that many valuable lessons in this life are not taught in today’s society. We are left to discover through trial and error, and often hardship. I would like to break the cycle and contribute to a new generation where mental health and wellness ideas are widely known, accepted and practiced, and can contribute to a world where love, connection,belonging, and growth (among other values) are second nature.
The Workshops
As individuals we were tired of experiencing price-locked participation’s, when seeking outside programs ourselves.
So with Life’s Rails, we wanted to be assured that we could give our audiences a variety of choice, when it came to their participation with Life’s Rails.
So we decided that between:
One-time workshops, online courses and membership plans, and a coaches hub, that these choices would give us all enough variation to work with, so that anyone could afford to try out our methods without breaking the bank.
