Career & Business Coaching for Clarity, Confidence & Work You Actually Love
Gain clarity, confidence, and momentum in your career or business—without burning out
Hi, I’m Marcela and I know what you want.
👉 To stop staying in a job that drains you just because it feels “safe” and finally explore career paths that light you up and align with who you are now.
👉 To stop putting your dreams on hold out of fear of burnout and instead start building a purpose-driven business or side project without quitting your job overnight.
👉 To stop second-guessing every decision and start making confident, values-aligned choices with a clear plan and the right support in your corner.
And I want you to know: what you want is absolutely possible.
You Don’t Have to Choose Between Security and Fulfillment
You can have work that feels energizing instead of draining.
Work that uses your skills in ways that truly matter.
Work that leaves you with time, energy, money, and freedom to enjoy your life outside of it.
I work with people like you who are in the messy middle—no longer happy where you are, but not yet sure what’s next. You know you’re capable of more, and you’re ready to find work that feels aligned with who you are today.
Together, we’ll uncover what matters most, quiet the self-doubt, and take steady, sustainable steps toward a career or business you actually want—so you can end your days feeling fulfilled, energized, and confident about the future.
Why I Do This Work?
I know what it’s like to look successful on the outside but feel stuck on the inside.
Over three decades, I’ve built a career across countries and industries, always searching for something more meaningful. My journey included:
Working in intergovernmental organizations in Slovakia, France, and Germany
Shifting into the pharmaceutical and medical devices sector in Switzerland
Transitioning into Canada’s healthcare industry
Navigating interviews, resumes, layoffs, career breaks, and even walking away from jobs without a safety net
Through it all, I realized this: creating fulfilling work takes clarity, persistence, and courage. Eventually, I transitioned into self-employment—building a career that feels aligned, purposeful, and sustainable.
Now, I help others do the same—without burnout or blowing everything up. I guide professionals through the uncertain in-between so they can take actionable steps toward work that energizes them and fits their life.
I bring 30+ years of international experience across healthcare, business, and leadership. Along the way, I earned a BSc in Business Administration, an MSc in Pharmaceutical Medicine, and became an ICF-certified coach. This blend of real-world leadership and evidence-based coaching helps my clients gain clarity, build confidence, and create careers—and lives—that truly fit.
I’ve seen what really helps people move forward: clarity about what matters most, confidence in decisions, and a practical plan that works for their life.
Whether you’re exploring a career change, launching a purpose-driven business, or stepping into leadership, my approach helps you turn uncertainty into actionable steps, so you can feel energized, confident, and in control of your next chapter.
What This Means for You
Career changes and starting something new don’t begin with a perfect resume—they start with understanding yourself.
I help you:
Get clear on your next move
Identify what’s been holding you back and create a plan to move forward with confidence and purpose.
Reconnect with what energizes you
Discover your values, motivations, and strengths so your next career or business feels meaningful—and truly aligned with who you are now.
Say yes to yourself
Set boundaries that protect your time, energy, and focus—without guilt or second-guessing.
Create space for what matters
Build routines and practices that fit your life, allowing you to make progress consistently—without burning out.
Take confident action
Move toward your goals—whether it’s a career pivot or launching a business—at a pace that works for you, with support and guidance along the way.
Some Fun Facts About Me
I am obsessed with photographing birds and have no problem:
Walking around a park in circles to get the perfect shot (yes, my husband is happy to join me; ask him!)
Standing beside a blooming tree for hours to capture a bird feeding on its nectar (no, my husband is not happy to join me).
I write bird-inspired life articles on Medium, which only my friends read because they have to.
I love playing tennis, but as I age, a 30-minute game has become ideal for me without feeling my hip joints. I prefer not to be so intimately aware of my anatomy.
