Design a fulfilling creative & professional life

Do you feel currently adrift, unfulfilled, unsure of what you want and where you are going with your life and career? Maybe you feel overwhelmed by the many ideas and projects sitting in your head, or you are starting out as a freelancer, launching a small creative business or already onboard but lacking the fulfilment, security, purpose or clarity to move forward.

Wherever you are at, I am here to help you craft a professional and creative life that excites you and serves your wellbeing and dreams, using your creativity in service of the world you want to live in.

Hi!

I am Gabriela, a certified Holistic Life Coach, designer and photographer.

I am here to help you get unstuck, tune into your desires and vision to navigate your professional life, nurture your creativity and bring your ideas to life - your novel, photo book, exhibition, community gathering, small creative business...

I see joy, playfulness, and imagination as some of the most powerful tools to help us co-create the world we want to live in - rooted in a deep sense of belonging and cooperation with each other and the living world.

Our sessions can be held in English, Portuguese, Spanish and Italian ☺︎

  • As a Life & Creativity Coach I support you in tuning into how you want to feel and live, and together we build sustainable habits to take you from where you are now onto where you want to be.

    Trained by the MindBodyFood Institute, my coaching is grounded in self-awareness, kindness and curiosity, and the understanding that an imbalance in one area of our life may have unexpected ripple effects, showing up in unpredictable ways - resistance, fear, blockages, procrastination, etc.

    Together, we seek to understand and address root causes rather than symptoms of these imbalances and restore a sense of joy and fulfilment in the different areas of your life.

    My approach is based on trust, curiosity and playfulness. Grounded in an honest and open curiosity, I guide you towards your own answers with purposeful questions, because you are the one who best knows yourself and your needs.

    The tools I’ll share with you will depend on your own taste and preferences, and can include creative writing, journaling prompts, photography exercises and drawing.

    I bring together tools from Holistic Life Coaching, Design Thinking, Visual Facilitation, Communications & Marketing, Creative Writing and Photography and many other.

    ☺︎ Understand your clients and set up time management and support systems to keep you going
