It’s time to stop postponing and make courageous choices with clarity. 


Your life might appear impressive on the surface, yet deep within, you might wonder, “Is this the life that I really want to live?”
Life unfolds, and at times, we find ourselves living a life that others have projected onto us. This doesn’t necessarily
mean it’s bad, but rather, is it the life or career path you deliberately chose?

We are often taught to prioritize security over happiness, but what is the value of security if it doesn’t bring
you happiness? If you aspire to be the main character in your own destiny, you need to start choosing what’s right for YOU.

Coaching provides a secure space for you to listen to your inner self and make those choices that might have been
neglected for a while. These courageous decisions will guide you toward your envisioned future.

About me

At 17, I made a bold move by leaving my small-town life in Brazil to explore some of the world ‘s major capitals.  I’ve lived in São Paulo, Tokyo, Hong Kong, Singapore, London, New York, and now I call Portugal home. These experiences have shaped me in ways I never expected, making me more resilient and open to embracing new opportunities.

In my previous career as a model, I was constantly on the move, adapting to new challenges. But after a decade in New York, I hit a career plateau. I felt unfulfilled and disconnected from my true purpose. Change was necessary, but it was also daunting—it meant taking risks and facing the fear of making the wrong choice. Still, I chose to embrace the unknown.

That decision led me to a career transition more aligned with my values. In the same year I launched my professional coaching business, I also became a mother. It was both exhilarating and challenging, but ultimately, deeply rewarding. Fast forward to today, I am a Professional Certified Coach (PCC) with seven years of experience, running a thriving coaching business that I absolutely love. I have two wonderful kids, a strong relationship with my husband, and a deep sense of purpose. I continue to challenge myself because I am committed to making a meaningful impact in
the lives of those I coach.

Work with me

Coaching people from various backgrounds, I notice they share a common trait: a growth mindset. During our conversations, we explore underlying
beliefs and habits to uncover what might be hindering you from achieving what you want. I hold my clients accountable for their bigger
picture by motivating them to take calculated risks and actions towards their vision.

My approach is holistic and tailored to your unique needs and goals. We can discuss anything, whether it’s related to your career, personal life,
or well-being. I relate to you as a powerful and resourceful individual, and together, we will build upon your strengths. By aligning your core
values with your life and career choices, you can discover a greater sense of fulfillment.

Sometimes, it can feel lonely when you’re trying to figure out what you truly want. That’s why I provide a confidential, safe, judgment-free space
where you can express yourself without reservation. Are you willing to do what is uncomfortable to achieve the results you desire?
If so, I’m here to support you every step of the way.

Some love words from my clients

“She helped me develop actions I’ve
been hesitant to try”

“Maria not only guide me in opportunities but how to harness my skills toward my progression in my career. I’ve struggled with accepting speaking up and trying to not be a “yes” man. Maria has shown me ways to cope with those feelings and the value of giving opinions without thinking I’m being a detractor. She not only praised my valuable skill sets but helped me develop actions I’ve been hesitant to try. I’ve felt comfortable and a sense of trust in working with Maria to share my vulnerabilities.”
