About Me
(Or: why you might just feel like we already know each other)
Hi, I’m Gabriela.
Transpersonal coach, tea meditation guide, and someone who finds meaning in the little things like the calm of nature, the comfort of baking, and the ritual of journaling with a warm cup in hand.
I’m all about connecting with nature, long tea breaks, deep chats, baking with audiobooks on, and helping people find their way back to themselves, one gentle step at a time.
My journey into coaching didn’t begin in a candlelit circle or with a life-altering retreat in Bali. It started in a very different world: IT. I spent years writing code and solving tech problems, all while quietly wondering why people behave the way they do, how the mind works, and what actually helps us feel whole. That quiet curiosity never left me. Eventually, it led me back to what I’ve always loved—helping people come home to themselves.
At first, I became a mindfulness and meditation teacher. Then, as I brewed endless cups of tea and sat in stillness with others, I discovered the beautiful space that exists when psychology meets soul work. That’s when I found Transpersonal Coaching Psychology, trained with ALEF Institute, and knew I’d finally found my path.
But I didn’t arrive here all polished and glowing.
I arrived with a heart full of stories.
Going through a divorce after years of feeling disconnected from myself. Starting over. Breaking. Healing. Learning to love who I am—not just on the good days, but on the days I could barely find my footing.
It wasn’t graceful. It wasn’t quick.
But it was real. And now, I get to walk beside others as they rediscover their own strength and softness, too.
My coaching style?
I think sometimes people hear “coach” and picture someone telling you how to fix your life or live the “right” way. But that’s not what I do.
My sessions are more like a safe space where you can be honest, feel what you feel, and slowly find your way back to yourself. I don’t have your answers—but I know how to walk beside you while you uncover them.
We co-create the session together—it’s not about me giving advice from a pedestal. It’s about you remembering who you are, and me holding the mirror with gentleness and care.
Clients say my sessions are calming, insightful, surprisingly playful, and deeply transformative. They’ve used words like:
“Liberating.” “Eye-opening.” “Grounding.” “Soulful.” “Real.”
And those moments? When a client pauses and says, “I’ve never thought about it that way,” or breathes a little easier after months of holding it all in? That’s my why.
A few quirky, human things about me:
- I can’t ride a bike or swim—even though I lived in the Netherlands for four years. That’s probably illegal there, right?!
I feel deeply connected to nature. I find peace in forests, and yes, I talk to trees sometimes. They’re very wise.
Tea is my go-to ritual. It’s how I start and end most days.
I journal, meditate, read, and bake while listening to audiobooks.
I love deep chats with good friends and meeting new people at networking events.
- My coaching is relaxed and deeply human—no pressure, no fixing, just presence.
If you’ve been feeling a little lost, a little too much, or like you’ve been carrying it all alone for too long… you’re not broken. You’re just ready.
And I would be honored to walk beside you, at your pace, one gentle step at a time.
Mantra of the moment?
“I am enough.”
And if that doesn’t feel true yet—I’ll hold the space until it does.
What working with me feels like
Clients often tell me they feel safe, calm, and understood in our sessions. They leave with new insights, more clarity, and often a surprising sense of relief.
Some words people have used to describe our work together:
gentle, grounded, insightful, peaceful, transformative.
Here’s what a few clients have shared:
“Gabriela holds the space really nicely, makes me feel genuinely heard, and offers insightful suggestions that align with my issues and insights.” – C.M.
