‘Formal education will make you a living; self-education will make you a fortune’
Helena is an immigrant from Portugal. As an immigrant, she went through and overcame culture shock, language barriers, had to work at many entry-level jobs to make ends and came to share solidarity with the immigrants who suffer with various problems on personal, social, and spiritual levels as an immigrant.
This experience taught her spectacular lessons how to the face of adversity, helped her to build a character of tenacity, and now she uses those values to encourage those around her.
Today Helena Ferreira, Founder and CEO of PT Advocates. She started this business after working in the managing political campaigns in Ontario, where she found her passion as a wealth advisor. In 2009, Helena was recruited by a financial services company. She saw this as a chance to do what she loves and be her own boss and since then she has been running her own Business Consulting Service Company.

She loves inspiring action, coaching disciplined strategies and empowering others to pursue abundance in all aspects of their lives.
