“Carla's coaching unlocked something critical that allowed me to start releasing control, stop over-functioning, and focus on myself first.”
In each session, she asked insightful questions and gave me space to step back and see how I've been living my life for years: stressed, overwhelmed, and in the habit of taking care of everyone else first at the expense of my own needs.
I'm already noticing a difference in how I feel and how I interact with my husband and daughter.

Why you are here
Has this been burnout all along?
How you look from the outside
Capable, maybe even successful. On top of every detail, always showing up, always able to take on more. The one people count on, like you have it all together.
How you feel on the inside
Exhausted, and rest does not fix it. Stretched thin, always on, disconnected from yourself and the people around you. A machine, not a human being. Fine on the surface, empty underneath.
The voice in your head keeps telling you:
- “It is fine” “Keep going”
- “This will settle, it always does”
- “Rest is optional, it has to be earned”
- “Something is off in my body, hide it”
- “I cannot afford to show weakness”
If burnout seems to keep circling back, it is not a one-off. It is a pattern that keeps coming back until what sits beneath it is addressed. Let's talk about it.
What I offer
1-to-1 burnout coaching
Burnout isn't the enemy. It is a message from yourself, asking to be heard.
If you have already tried changing the outside; the schedule, the workload, the job, taking a break, and the same patterns seems to always return, it may be because the misalignment was never on the outside. Change becomes necessary from the inside out.
Together we can look at what that is, and shape a life that actually fits who you are, one that feels right.
The point is not to add another task to your week, but to create space to slow down, see what sits beneath the pattern, and shape what you want to build next.
The pace is yours. I am not here to fix you, or tell you what to do. As your coach, I partner with you, in your truth, so we listen, explore what matters, challenge what needs challenging, and transform towards what is true to you.
The best place to start is with a free discovery call. No commitment, just an honest conversation, so you can see for yourself that this is the right place for you.
How it works
- Format
- 1-to-1 coaching, private, on Zoom. From anywhere in the world.
- Duration
- Typically six months, though this varies from person to person.
- Method
- The Guadua Arc, my three-phase framework for recurring burnout.
The Framework
The Guadua Arc
-
Phase I
Root Exploration
You slow down and map your roots: your essence, your beliefs, the obligations you carry.
-
Phase II
The Vital Shift
You separate what is genuinely yours from what you absorbed, and meet your inner voice with curiosity rather than judgement.
-
Phase III
Rising in Harmony
You set down what isn't yours to carry and build forward: aligned choices, firm and yet adjustable boundaries, a clear sense of where you are going.

In their own words
“My biggest takeaway was learning to let go, and to keep practising until it becomes second nature.”
Working with Carla has been truly invaluable.
I'm so grateful for her guidance and would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking to build greater self-awareness and resilience.
“Carla didn't just help me get through a tough season; she helped me design a new way of living.”
As a high achiever, it can be tough to find someone who can hold space for your ambitions while also holding you accountable for your well-being. Carla does both seamlessly.
She's a world-class coach and a brilliant strategic partner.
“She helped me unblock my thinking, go deeper, and see things from a completely different perspective.”
Being coached by Carla helped me bring clarity to the areas where I had been feeling stuck for a while.
The space she creates, together with her deep level of listening, helped me achieve my goal in a very short time.
Questions
Questions you may have
Who is this for?
This is for people who look like they're holding it all together, and know underneath that they're numb, and quietly hoping something outside them will force the pause they cannot give themselves. Anyone who's disconnected, exhausted, and not living life on their own terms.
It is not for anyone in acute crisis. It is for those who are still functioning while the exhaustion and numbness keep building. If you are ready to understand what is really going on, and make room for what actually matters, you are in the right place.
What if I'm not sure I'm actually burnt out?
It is completely normal to doubt it. Burnout often does not announce itself as burnout. It can feel like needing to push through one more day.
That is exactly what a free discovery call is for. We look at what you are experiencing together, without pressure. If coaching is not what you need right now, I will tell you honestly, and point you the right way.
What is the investment?
The programme runs as a monthly subscription at market rate.
Time-wise, you commit to two 90-minute sessions and a 15-minute check-in each month, plus whatever space you make between sessions to notice, reflect, and let things settle.
Other options are discussed during your discovery call.
How is this different from therapy or other support modalities?
To name a few, therapy looks at your past, and helps you heal from it. Mentoring and consulting will advice or tell you what to do.
Coaching on the other hand, starts from where you are today and looks at where you want to go. It honours your unique being and life circumstances, and works with the patterns showing up now, and with what you want to shape next.
What happens after I book a discovery call?
You will receive a confirmation email with the Zoom link. The call itself is 30 minutes: where you are, what you're looking for, and whether working together makes sense. If it is, we talk through next steps.
How do we know it's working?
At the start, we look and measure together at where you are, across the areas of life where the burnout is showing up. We revisit that at the midpoint and at the close, so the shifts are visible, not just felt.
You will also notice it in your own life, often before you notice it in the sessions. In how you sleep, in how you respond to things that used to tip you over, in the small choices you find yourself making differently.
Is this confidential?
Yes. What we discuss in our sessions stays between us, in line with the ICF Code of Ethics. The only exceptions are those the law requires of any practitioner: serious risk of harm, or a legal requirement to disclose.
