I have been through a career change on 2 occasions.
So I know and understand the feeling of being stuck and unhappy at work.
I had to go through pay cuts in order to follow a career that suits who I am. I went through various challenges to be where I am today, but I believed in me and my power to succeed.

What do you love most about your job?
I love the feeling of helping and guiding others.I love when I ask the right questions to a client and he or her face enlighten of astonishment when they have breakthrough. I feel that my support makes an impact on my clients' lives.
Life is about being happy and my clients are happy with the results they get from working with me. They have a sense of purpose when they live my coaching programme and are opened to new endeavours.
What inspired you to start your own business?
My background is in Human Resources and I used to coach line managers who had employee relations issues, and also I was involved in Recruitment. Five years ago I went to Spain to learn Spanish and decided to focus on coaching international mid-career professionals who feel they can do more at work and want to make an impact.
Professionals who want to feel good about themselves and they achievements, and work for a company that represents who they are, what they like and use their strengths to the full.
Why should our clients choose you?
A client should choose me because I have been through a career change on 2 occasions. So I know and understand the feeling of being stuck and unhappy at work.
I had to go through pay cuts in order to follow a career that suits who I am. I went through various challenges to be where I am today, but I believed in me and my power to succeed.
Life is a journey and so is coaching. Coaching is about taking actions, see the possibilities. If you want change, you have to take actions and thats what my programme is about. Helping you think from another perspective, think differently and do things differently.
When you are in the heart of the issues its difficult to see clearly, however I use tools and techniques that help you find solutions and ideas that are right for you.
When I work with clients we deep dive into their innerselves so they can discover who they are on a deeper level, understand why they make certain decisions and work in becoming the best version of themselves.
I love that feeling of helping and guiding someone so they can find the way to improve their lives.
I myself have a mentor, and she guides me through my journey.
