Introduction
Hey there! Welcome….I am so incredibly glad you are here.
My name is Maria-Elena Surprenant and I love the Lord, His Word and the arts. Many know me as a dancer and arts administrator. Those that know me well know I am fond of books, fashion, food, people and classy things. Some of my personal values include faith, family, work/life balance and integrity.
I hope to one day meet you and if not, I hope this space will provide some encouragement no matter what season of life you are in.
I have a story to share, and I know you do too. There isn’t enough time in the world to share it all at the moment but if I were sitting across from you with a cup of coffee in hand, I would sum it up in one phrase - God is faithful. My story reflects the greater, most important narrative of Christ and His mission of redemption and restoration. My purpose, joy and fulfillment is found in Him! Art of Hope Coaching is a reflection of this beauty, goodness and truth, and I look forward to sharing more of my heart along the way.
You may be here because you are familiar with life coaching, or, you may not know anything about life coaching at all. Life coaching is a broad term that is used in various contexts, but true professional life coaching has a specific focus on helping individuals move forward in accomplishing short-term or long-term goals, and is centered around a strategic framework of questions, processing and accountability.
Art of Hope Coaching is passionate about using life coaching as a tool to partner with creatives and professionals in the arts. Whether you enjoy making art as a hobby or are a CEO of an arts organization, Art of Hope is here to help you grow and flourish with clarity and purpose.
I look forward to sharing candid, beneficial content here as it relates to faith, healthy rhythms, intentionality, the arts and so much more!
