Your space to explore. On your terms.

My coaching philosophy

My core belief is simple: you are the expert in your own life. You hold the context, the wisdom, and the answers.My role isn't to be a mentor or a consultant who provides solutions; I won't be giving you advice or telling you what to do.Instead, I act as your dedicated thinking partner. My job is to listen deeply, ask thought-provoking questions, and hold a confidential, non-judgmental space for you to explore your own thoughts.I am here to support you, but it is your journey. The progress and the breakthroughs will come from you.

Is this type of coaching for you?

What are common reasons to look for coaching (usually throughout multiple sessions)?

  • Facing a significant decision in your career or personal life

  • Feeling "stuck" or overwhelmed, knowing that something needs to change but unsure how

  • Starting a new chapter, like a new job or a personal project

  • Seeking to bridge the gap between where you are now and where you truly want to be

  • Simply craving a confidential, unbiased space to think out loud

Ultimately, we can explore almost any topic that may be on your mind!Coaching will be fit for you if you are looking to be asked questions and prompted to reflect. However, if you'd like advise or expertise, a different profession will be better aligned.

What our sessions together look like

Our coaching journey is a series of focused conversations, each lasting around 40 minutes. Here’s what you can expect from a typical session:

  1. We set expectations: We discuss what the coaching session might look like (and not), and how we want to engage together throughout it.

  2. You set the agenda: You come to each session with the topic or objective you want to explore.

  3. We explore together: Through questions, I will help you untangle the topic, look at it from new perspectives, and get to the heart of it.

  4. You discover the path forward: Your work in the session is to be open, reflective, and honest with yourself. The "aha!" moments and the solutions emerge from your own thinking and intuition. And they might emerge after the session, too!

Final details to know

It is no myth that coaching sessions can be priced well into the hundreds of dollars. However, I am working to build my hours for my ICF certification, and at this stage I want you to choose how much you want to pay.I am also a native Spanish speaker, so sessions in Spanish are possible too! Just let me know if that is your preferred language.

Hello, I'm Melissa

I would like to tell you a bit about myself:My own path has been one of exploration: a journey that started in Latin America and has taken me across different cultures, through studies in social sciences, and into some challenging and rewarding professional environments.Through it all, I've held a deep belief in the power of having a dedicated, non-judgmental space to think. I certainly don't have all the answers for my own life, and I don't pretend to have them for yours.What I offer is that space. It's a partnership and an invitation: to untangle what's on your mind, get clear on what you truly want, and find the courage to take your own next step.I have a coaching course certification from ICF-accredited Nova Terra Coaching, and now I am looking to get ICF-certified myself!In my personal life, my curiosity continues. I love learning (currently trying to learn Dutch!), I laugh a lot (often at very simple dad jokes) and I love dabbling in new things, from sports to desserts.I am looking forward to meeting you!
