ABOUT ME
MY VALUES
as Coach, Mentor and Sparring Partner
My vision:
I strongly believe that everyone has a central role to play in their personal and professional lives. By fully empowering individuals to realize their unique potential, we can successfully build a promising future together while restoring meaning, creativity, and commitment to our endeavors.
Three core values guide my work:
1. Trust & Discretion
A Genuinely Personal Approach
Personal and project development often reveal one’s values, beliefs, identity, and stance. Thinking outside the box, expressing the unspoken, letting go, and introspection are all part of this journey. I am committed to ensuring this process takes place in a secure environment, founded on absolute trust and inherent discretion. My aim is to support you as an individual, respecting your most personal concerns.
2. Appreciation & Respect
An Equal Partnership
I support individuals with diverse and rich experiences, treating each person with the utmost respect and an open, non-judgmental attitude. I listen with sincere and dedicated attention, aiming to offer you the same level of support and partnership that I would seek for myself. This commitment drives my ongoing professional development, ensuring I provide the best support possible for you.
3. Openness & Curiosity
A Comprehensive Deep Dive
My approach is rooted in genuine curiosity and heartfelt openness, meeting you exactly where you are on your path. I encourage you to connect with yourself and tap into your intuition, creativity, and passion to explore new and unexpected solutions. At times, I might take on the role of the “devil’s advocate” to challenge your thinking. But above all, throughout this journey, you will experience my enthusiasm and joy in exploring your path together.
MY STORY
During a hike with my husband in the stunning Swiss Pre-Alps, we take a break for lunch at a cozy mountain hut. As we gaze out over the breathtaking landscape from above, the faint sound of a radio plays in the background. It’s then that I recognize the song being played, striking me in the depths of my soul: “Wind of Change”.
THE TURNING POINT
Realizing the Need for Change
For many years, I worked in the front office of a private bank, navigating an exceptionally demanding work environment. Over time, the stress from constant restructuring, digitalization, remote work, and high staff turnover gradually wore me down. The human aspect of our daily work environment, which was so important to me, had slowly faded away.
Enthusiasm was replaced by irritability and frustration, and without realizing it, I gradually lost touch with myself. Admitting this was not easy, but the crisis I found myself in turned out to be a catalyst for change. I realized that it was time to urgently reassess my priorities in life.
THE DECISION
Embracing My True Passion
This was a transformative moment, and I decided to refocus on what really mattered to me. Looking back, I recognized a consistent theme throughout my career: whether as an interpreter, language trainer, client advisor, or team leader, I saw myself as a bridge-builder. I was committed to fostering effective communication across disciplines and cultures, building empathetic relationships, encouraging autonomy and, finally, help individuals and organizations achieve success. I have always been driven to support people in reaching their goals and discovering the potential within their unique skills.
With this in mind, I gathered all my courage and answered the call for change sparked by that magical moment on the mountain. I chose to revive my passion and put people back at the center of both my personal and professional actions.
IMPLEMENTATION
Empowering Yourself for Growth
Today, as a certified coach, mentor, and sparring partner, I bridge the gap between individuals, organizations, and their respective worlds. I draw on my potential and experience to support my clients, helping them integrate personal growth into their success strategies. Whether in a personal or professional context, I encourage you to take a moment to focus on your true aspirations, values, needs, strengths, and limits. Self-awareness will help you take your place, empower your authenticity, and enable you to lead yourself and others in a meaningful, inspiring, and successful way.
Step Out of Your Comfort Zone
I am excited to support you in achieving your next steps, helping you recognize the advantages of your unique potential and sustainably harness them with courage, creativity, and confidence.

Want to Learn More About Me?
Intercultural Experience
Intercultural experiences have shaped my life from a young age. I spent my childhood in Latin America, growing up in a bilingual and multicultural environment. Today, my life near the international city of Geneva perfectly meets this need.
Analytical Pragmatist
As an analytical pragmatist, I enjoy digging deep into how things work while maintaining a hands-on mentality. For me, thinking and doing go hand in hand. I am passionate about understanding the mechanisms behind processes and ensuring that they work effectively and practically.
A Passion for Movement
Movement is essential to me. It keeps me in shape, makes me feel alive, and helps me recharge my batteries. However, each of my sports—running, climbing, diving, tennis, dancing, and hiking—is more than just physical exercise; they provide focus, meditation, inspiration, and opportunities for connection with others. Last but not least, they are fun, especially in breathtaking settings.
Humour is Key
Humor is my life’s elixir! A genuine laugh from time to time is both essential and unmissable for me.
