Welcome! With my coaching, I help creative, purpose-driven women living away from their homeland, reduce overwhelm so they can grow new roots and blossom where they are. Together, we’ll create the life, work and relationships your heart desires, so you can bring the best of yourself to the world.

I was a very shy girl as a child. When the time came for me to choose a study I was pulled in very different directions. But one thing I knew: I needed to get out of my shell and face the world if I wanted to become who I was supposed to be. So, at 17, I summoned all my courage and left my family in Colombia, to go study in France. Such a radical change. But I learned a major lesson. It does not matter how scary or far from what you know it feels, stepping up with courage to face change will make you grow, will transform you, will help you become you.

I worked 25 years in big Corporate American companies where I helped clients from all over the world to be successful with the use of our services. I really learned to work with all kinds of nationalities, cultures, and ways of thinking. I know what it is to live in a country very different from mine, and many of my colleagues were in the same situation.  An open mind and adaptability and resilience are key to thrive in such an environment. If you find yourself away from your homeland and struggling to make the new place your home, I can help you.

As a manager to create a highly performing team, I needed to know the values, skills, and strengths of each one of my team members, and coach them to be aware of them and use them with confidence. Only then could they perform exceptionally, grow and step into the next step of their career, bringing their value to the team and the company.

This is how I discovered that helping people grow was my vocation and I took a first pass at Coaching school. However, even if I completed all class requirements, with a full-time job and two small children I could not manage the time and energy needed for practice. But I acquired important skills that I used in my management and leadership work. Most importantly, I understood that learning and growth are my passion and so I started discovering my purpose in life. Eventually as I learned to manage my time and energy I made it back to Coaching School and graduated.

My job was very hectic and even outside of work I could not stop the torrent of thoughts in my head… and I was drowning. I was sleeping two hours a night, and the rest of it I spent thinking. This was killing my health and my family life, as I was constantly exhausted and over-irritated. As for friends, there was no time for that, and it was a rare day when I could manage smiling at all. At that point, I found Sahaja Yoga meditation. I learn to calm my thoughts and reduce mental exhaustion. Eventually I could create a space of silence that allowed me to reconnect with myself and bring back creativity and joy into my life. And of course, I was back to sleeping eight hours a night, like a baby!

In the corporate world you are surrounded by structure. And you do not know what you have until you lose it! When I left my company to study and become a coach trainer and entrepreneur, I found out what it is to find yourself on your own, with no structure. Support structures and a strong mental game are essential to success, because nobody would stop me if I decided to procrastinate, to doubt myself, or second guess my plan. I decided to follow a very intensive 60 day bootcamp to learn to plan, create structures and systems and become extremely effective. I took it twice. And it changed the game! If you need to become more organized and regain control over your life or struggle with procrastination and self-doubt, I can help you.
