Stop Performing Your Life. Start Being the Director.
You’ve learned to perform the role beautifully, the career, the output, the showing up. Somewhere between building it all, you lost the thread back to yourself. That’s what we work on here.
This is the 1:1 Coaching Journey – 12 weeks to stop living someone else’s script and start authoring your own. Powered by the C.O.R.E., for the people who have built everything they wanted and quietly wonder who it was all for.
Rebuild Self-Trust: You stop outsourcing your own knowing, your instincts become your compass again.
Reclaim Authority: You move from performing for others to leading from yourself, not the version of you they expect, the one that’s been waiting.
Create Agency: You bring your real work, your real voice, your real self into the room, and you stop apologising for it.
Book a 20-minute Connection Call. No pitch, no pressure, just a focused conversation about the script you’re ready to rewrite.
About Me
I’m Raquel, for years, I’ve been working behind the scenes in theatre production. I’m the person who makes everything happen, the one nobody sees. I’m good at it, and for a long time, that was enough.
Somewhere along the way I started to feel a quiet, uncomfortable sense that I was living at the edges of other people’s stories. That I had a voice, a perspective, a presence, and I was keeping it carefully out of the way.
I wasn’t unhappy exactly, I was comfortable and economically stable, useful. I had no personal voice in my own life. And I knew, somewhere inside me that I couldn’t ignore, that I wanted something more meaningful, something that was mine. That’s when everything shifted.
I started studying human behaviour, not as an academic exercise, but because I was genuinely fascinated by the question “why do people who are clearly capable of more keep themselves small?” I listened, read, observed. I trained as a coach. And I realised that what I had spent years doing backstage, reading rooms, understanding people, making space for others to do their best work, was actually preparation for something I hadn’t yet named.
I came to theatre through photography, I studied Fine Arts, developed a passion for performance art, and learned to see in what the frame includes and what it leaves out.
I brought a photographer’s eye and a theatre producer’s instincts to this work. I notice what’s underneath what you’re saying, I see the gap between who you’re performing and who you actually are. And I know from the inside what it costs to stay invisible in your own life.
I’m not the loudest person in the room, but I’m the one people come to when they need to think something through. They tell me I make them feel comfortable enough to say the things they haven’t said out loud yet. That I ask the question that shifts something.
That’s the work.
Not fixing you, not handing you a strategy, helping you find the words and the courage, to stop performing someone else’s version of your life and start living your own.
When I’m not coaching you’ll find me drawing, walking, losing myself in a book or a podcast about human behaviour, or simply sitting with a question I haven’t answered yet. I believe the people who change the world aren’t always the loudest ones, sometimes they’re the ones who finally decided to stop shrinking, and showed others it is possible.
That’s what I’m here for, whether we live in the different countries and/or have different cultures, my goal is the same: to help you stop performing and start being seen.
Services
This is where you shift from “I don’t know what to do” to “I know who I am and what’s right for me.”
Work with me
There are two ways we can work together. All of them begin with the same thing: the truth about where you are right now.
1: The Collective “C.O.R.E. Collective – 8 Weeks, Group Coaching”
For the person who grows in community.
Sometimes the most powerful mirror is another person recognizing themselves in your story. The C.O.R.E. Collective is a small, intimate group, never more than 8 people, moving through the same transformation together. You get the depth of the method, the accountability of a cohort, and the unexpected gift of realizing you were never as alone in this as you thought.
Cohorts open a few times a year. If this speaks to you, get in touch to be on the waitlist and be the first to know when the next one opens.
2: The Full Journey “The C.O.R.E. Foundation – Private 1:1 Coaching”
For the person who is ready to go all the way.
We move through C.O.R.E. – Clarity, Ownership, Reconnection, and Empowerment. Not as a curriculum, but as a living process that unfolds at the pace of your truth. You have built a life that looks successful from the outside. But somewhere inside it, you’ve become a supporting character in your own story. This is where that changes.
We identify the scripts that no longer serve you, we build the courage to rewrite them, and we do it together, with me beside you every step of the way.
Duration: We work together on the 1:1 for a minimum of 3 months, with most clients choosing 6 months to allow the transformation to fully integrate.
Sessions: We meet weekly or biweekly (based on what serves your process best), with each session lasting around 60 minutes.
Between Sessions: You have access to me via WhatsApp for reflections, breakthroughs, and the moments that can’t wait until next week.
What’s Included:
Private 1:1 sessions tailored entirely to where you are and where you’re going. Ongoing support between sessions for integration and accountability. Curated tools, reflections, and practices chosen specifically for you. A partnership built on trust, presence, and your timeline — not a rigid formula.
Investment
The Private 1:1 entire journey at €1,230 for 6 months.
We start with a 20 to 30 minute call, not a sales call, but a real conversation to make sure this is the right fit for both of us.
The investment is shaped by how long we work together, the rhythm of our sessions, and the support you need between them.
The Commitment
This work requires time, trust, and a genuine commitment to yourself. It’s a relationship where something fundamental shifts: the way you see yourself, the way you make choices, and the way you trust your own intuition without needing permission or proof.
We work until you recognise yourself again, not just in your quiet moments, but in the way you love, lead, and connect with those who matter most.
Is This for You?
It’s particularly resonant if you’re at a crossroads, a relationship shift, a life stage transition, a return to something you left behind, or simply the quiet realisation that the life you built no longer fits the person you’ve become. You don’t have to be in crisis. You just have to be honest that something needs to change.
Book a 20-30 minute call, no pressure, no pitch, just an honest conversation about where you are and where you want to be.
The shift you’re looking for isn’t on the other side of more effort, It’s on the other side of more honesty. It was never about pushing harder, it was about seeing clearly enough to stop, and trusting yourself enough to begin again, from the inside out.

“My biggest challenge was that it was hard getting clarity on how to navigate through a relationship challenge I was facing in life.
There were several breakthroughs that I had experienced, however most significant one was being able to communicate with honesty and integrity about my feelings, specifically breaking old patterns of not communicating my needs and wants as i thought they will go unheard however nothing like that happened.
Moreover, i realized that I was putting too much pressure on myself around things I could not control, by the end of our coaching journey I could break free from these limiting beliefs.
There were many parts through our journey that I enjoyed, but the one thing I most enjoyed was seeing myself moving forward with positive momentum.
Thanks again for the wonderful experience.”

“Working with Raquel was a great experience.
She offered the clarity I was searching for during a time when I felt completely overwhelmed.
Her guidance felt both gentle and powerful, helping me tap into a resilience I didn’t realize was there. She guided me towards making decisions that finally felt authentic and deeply aligned with my true self.
Now, I feel incredibly more grounded and confident navigating what life brings my way.
I honestly can’t recommend her coaching enough, it’s genuinely been life-changing! Thank you!”

“Working with Raquel was an incredible transformative experience.
Before our sessions, I was overwhelmed by my personal goals in my transition period after 30 years of absence from my community. Coach Raquel provided an amazing safe and supportive space for me to explore my challenges and uncover what was truly holding me back as a healthy woman, an opinion leader, a grandmother and a mother.
Thanks to her life-coaching, I now feel empowered to take on new challenges, I’m making intentional and purposeful decisions about how I can help my community, in which I feel more present with a quality work-life balance. I’m truly grateful for the personalized approach and tools. If you’re ready to make a significant change in your life, I can’t recommend Raquel enough.”
