Why Baiba Gercane chose to be in the helping profession

I think this profession chose me. For most of my life, I worked in arts and business, but even in those roles, I often found myself in positions where I was deeply listening to someone’s life story or walking alongside someone who needed support. It wasn’t something I sought out intentionally; it just felt like a natural part of who I was.

When my children left for university, I found myself at a crossroads. With more time on my hands, I began to consider what I wanted to do for myself. The idea of returning to study something new felt both exciting and daunting, but I knew it was time. I decided to take a Gestalt course, and it completely opened my eyes. I fell in love with the process—the way it gently invites both the client and practitioner to explore deeper layers of awareness, connection, and growth.

Not long after, I took a class in Life Coaching. It was there that I truly began to see how naturally this work aligned with who I was. The first clients appeared in my life almost effortlessly, as though they had been waiting for me to step into this role. It felt organic, almost like an extension of the way I had always shown up for people, but now with more tools and understanding to guide them.

I feel deeply honored to walk alongside my clients for however long they need me. Each relationship is unique, and the work we do together is both humbling and fulfilling. Helping others navigate their challenges, celebrate their growth, and discover new parts of themselves is something I cherish every day.

This profession didn’t just find me—it reminded me of who I’ve always been. It’s a journey that continues to inspire and challenge me, and I feel privileged to call it my work.

Baiba Gercane's approach

Every person is a unique blend of earthly essence and divine breath, a delicate and beautiful balance of the physical and the spiritual. The human soul carries a rich tapestry of emotions and experiences, each one a thread that contributes to the story of who we are.

In my work, I honor the whole person—body, mind, and soul—recognizing that every individual has a unique path. Whether you're navigating challenges, seeking clarity, or striving to find balance, my goal is to create a safe, supportive space where you feel seen, heard, and understood.

If you're feeling lost or overwhelmed, I want you to know this: the answers you seek are often already within you. Together, we can uncover the wisdom and strength that may feel hidden beneath the surface. Through thoughtful guidance and compassionate support, I aim to help you reconnect with your intuition, find healing, and move toward a life that feels aligned and fulfilling.

Every journey is sacred, and it’s a privilege to walk alongside my clients as they discover new layers of themselves and take steps toward their goals.

As a multilingual professional, I can connect with you in Latvian, Russian, or English, ensuring our sessions are as comfortable and effective as possible.

Every session is tailored to your unique needs, challenges, and goals. Together, we’ll work toward creating the life and balance you seek.

Baiba Gercane's experience working with the Jewish community

Although I am not Jewish myself, I have a deep love and respect for the Jewish people, the Torah, and Israel. My connection to Jewish values and teachings runs close to my heart, and I am continuously inspired by the wisdom and depth of the Torah. I am currently taking Torah classes online, which has enriched my understanding and appreciation of Jewish life and traditions.

When choosing a program for my coaching certification, I was drawn to a Jewish ICF-accredited life coach training. Studying alongside a group of Jewish women was a meaningful experience for me. It not only enhanced my professional skills but also deepened my understanding of the unique challenges and strengths within the Jewish community.

This journey has given me profound insight into the values, culture, and spirituality that are central to Jewish life. It’s a privilege to support clients from the Jewish community and to walk alongside them in their personal growth and healing.
