Allow yourself to chase

what you truly want

Here to help you create space to explore what you need

Whether you're seeking focused and results-driven coaching or a more exploratory and playful approach, I’m here to help you clarify and intentionally create what’s next.

In 2020, I started working with a powerful coach who helped me realise that many of the hopes I had set aside were, in fact, possible. That experience reshaped my perspective, but ultimately redirected my entire path.

Today, I combine over 17 years of experience in tech and management consulting with my work as a coach, writer, and researcher. This blend allows me to bring curiosity, creative problem-solving, and deep listening to each session—creating the conditions where you transform hesitation into action.

Is coaching for you?

Are you feeling stuck, holding back, or unsure of your next steps? Perhaps you’re struggling with self-doubt, procrastination, or finding it difficult to articulate what you truly want.

These are common experiences that often signal you might benefit from coaching support. Coaching provides a structured space to explore what’s keeping you from moving forward. Whether you’re afraid to try something new, constantly listening to your inner critic, or simply confused about which direction to take, coaching can help you gain clarity and build momentum.

Testimonials

  • "The coaching sessions with Mariana have been genuinely incredible. I had never done any coaching before so didn’t quite know what to expect, but Mariana made sure to really guide me through and figure out what it is that I want to focus the sessions on. I didn’t have much clarity on that previously and now understand much better which things in my life I want to work on and how to do so. Mariana very actively listens to what you’re saying, is able to provide different frameworks and new ways of thinking, and really helps to guide you through the process. I absolutely loved every single session and couldn’t recommend working with her more!"

    — Jenny (Autonomy Engineer)

  • "Working with Mariana was a highlight of my past year. In just a handful of sessions, she helped me better understand what matters most to me—at work, in relationships, and in how I care for myself. She has a thoughtful, grounded presence and a way of guiding reflection that made it easy to open up and start seeing myself with more self-compassion and clarity. I left our coaching with more clarity around my needs, stronger tools for navigating uncertainty, and a better sense of how to approach challenges in ways that feel authentic to me. I’m clearer on what I want from my current job and how to make the most of the opportunity, while also feeling more confident about recognising when it’s time to move on. I’ve also started embracing my strengths in friendships instead of focusing on where I fall short—especially around communication and distance. I also came away with a relationship with so much context and care that I know I can return to if something new comes up. Living far from family and longtime mentors, that’s meant a lot! Thank you, Mariana!"

    — Sofia (Applied Scientist)

  • "I started working with Mariana during a time of major professional and personal change. In just a few sessions, she helped me make sense of it all, offering a clear framework to organise my thoughts and emotions, which quickly gave me the confidence to navigate those changes with clarity. Her approach is warmes and empathetic, and I felt deeply understood from the very session. I couldn't recommend her more."
