About Me
My ideal client has had a successful career, but is now wondering whether to change careers.
I’m passionate about helping people find their calling. Whether through small changes at their current job, or through full-fledged career transitions.
Finding our callings is not just about job search skills but also about self-discovery. It's less about finding "the one" job that satisfies all of our needs, and more about finding work that aligns with what's meaningful to us and how that job fits into the greater picture of our lives.
Through mindfulness coaching you'll gain a deeper understanding of yourself: what lights you up and motivates you, what areas of life you value most, your unique strengths and skills, and what holds you back.
Sessions incorporate evidence-based tools like happiness studies, proven job-search skills, and more holistic approaches including somatic practices and yoga-informed exercises. Mindfulness is a key pillar in our coaching sessions; mindfulness strengthens our link to that inner knowing that helps us know where we want to go. It also helps us build resilience to stressful situations at work and during the job search process.
About me:
With over 15 years of corporate work experience, I've consulted for the World Bank Group and international companies including Lego and Samsung. I have a masters in public policy from Harvard University. I'm fluent in English and Spanish.
I'm a certified Mindfulness Coaching and am eligible for the International Coaching Federation's Associate Coaching Certification. I hold certifications in yoga (200-hours), the Science of Wellbeing from Yale University and Happiness at Work from Berkeley University.

Working with Paula has been transformational. Before finding Paula, I was having a lot of trouble connecting to myself, and finding both clarity and peace in my life. I was experiencing a lot of overwhelm and stress but didn't know how to fix it. Through working with Paula, I discovered deep-set beliefs that had been holding me back, and found the most amazing and empowering ways to connect to myself! The result? I felt massively less overwhelmed and more peaceful and content within myself. Thank you Paula!

Paula is a delight to work with. She is compassionate, insightful, and a deep listener. She has helped me work through several issues that were limiting my outlook and perspective. Paula is kind and trustworthy. She asks wonderful questions that help me focus on the real issues. I would highly recommend Paula and I am grateful to continue working with her...I am better, stronger, happier for it.

Paula was amazing at helping me navigate and realize what I wanted my new business to look like. She helped to get in touch with my dream, my ideas and what was important to me in my business and in my life. I highly recommend Paula to anyone looking to move forward in any area of their life.

I usually think that I have been there done that when I think of coaching and self improvement activities. I was gratefully surprised on how our first session with Paula went and decided to go for seven session package. I can say that our process was magical, and even though it felt as we were tackling issues on the go as they presented themselves before each session, at the end we understood how the pieces of the puzzle came together. At the end, I managed to change perspective on issues that I had been struggling for years if not for decades, and as I changed my perspective, miracles happened and things got resolved. I really liked working with Paula and found our sessions very practical, concrete, yet profound and life changing.

I worked with Paula for about three months and on each session her ability to provide insight and mobilize energy within our fields was apparent. I appreciated her perspective and the way she resonated with ones words and I can really say after the work that the objectives I had for pursuing a coaching were met and that I got to experience the magic that surrounds us on a day-to-day basis if we are open to it. Other take-aways that have helped me a lot in my path were powerful mindfulness techniques. Her empathy and professionalism were also aspects that made my experience a very nurturing one. I'm very glad about this choice!!

At the beginning of this whole experience, I had already been introduced to mindfulness through various casual conversations with Paula, and although I had recognized the obstacles I had to work on, I felt blocked and completely lost on where to start. Paula made me feel so comfortable and was super opened to hear the reasons why I had recognized my obstacle but was dreading working on it. Thanks to her coaching and the various tools she provided in each session, I started to slowly release some of the pressure I was putting around my obstacles and myself. After applying all the tools I was provided with, I am seeing a difference in my attitude towards this issue and feel empowered and educated to tackling any other that may come my way.

I really loved my sessions with Paula! She has a really kind and gentle energy. Paula helped me gain clarity over some issues that were blocking me from moving forward in my business and personal life. She is really perceptive and intuitive and she was a great match for me. I totally recommend her, she is such a gifted coach!

Paula is such a natural at this work. Within our 5 weeks together, I transformed so much that I feel like I've done 6 months of work. I attracted more clients, a potential partner and greater confidence as we tackled my limiting beliefs. We really got to the core of the issue and I was able to develop the tools needed to handle challenging situations on my own. Paula is more than just a teacher- she's a loving friend. If you're ready to change your life and feel supported every step of the way, work with her!
