Testimonials — Mariana Velez

My coaching approach supports clients in developing emotional, conversational and relational capacity to bring their vision and grounded leadership more fully into the world.

Mariana is a light - she’ll inspire and motivate you and guide you in connecting with yourself. Her personal coaching helped me to develop tools and practices to engage with the personal and professional challenge I had identified, and most importantly reframed my understanding of and compassion for myself. She is one of the best listeners I have ever met, and she combines this skill with such thoughtfulness, care, and creativity to design a personal coaching program. I highly recommend her!

Mariana is a force of nature. She brings her whole self to her work, and deeply cares about the work that she does in all aspects of her life. There is no mediocrity in what she does: what she brings is excellence. She takes a powerful stand for me to see myself as the best version of me, and to get the best out of my life. She encourages me to take action based on what I want, and to have that be clear from the wants of others. In the light moments she will joyfully celebrate my wins. In the tough moments she holds a strong presence that can carry the weight of all my emotions. There is an energy that she brings to what she does that is truly unique. She is ALL IN for you and your development!

Mariana is a wonderfully authentic, empathetic and knowledgeable coach. Mariana demonstrated her ability to personalize her approach to meet my specific needs. I learned many reflective and self-care strategies by working with her over several months. Mariana is a consummate professional and brings unique qualities to her practice. She enlightened me with tools such as calming yoga poises, poetry and reflections to consider as we worked through various issues. Mariana helped me uncover my inner confidence and abilities to use tools that continue to serve me in my professional and personal life. I can’t recommend Mariana highly enough!

Mariana me permitió identificar objetivos, recursos, y herramientas de desarrollo personal para fortalecer formas de ser valiosas y generadoras de felicidad y de enegía interna para mí. Su apoyo y acompañamiento fue crítico y transformador. El coaching integral, a diferencia de un proceso de acompañamiento con un profesional en psicología u otro tipo de coaching, me ayudó a vislumbrar un camino de conocimiento personal y me entregó herramientas para seguirlo fortaleciendo de acuerdo a objetivos y preguntas importantes en mi vida. La coherencia entre mente, cuerpo, energía y voluntad se fortaleció en mí gracias al apoyo y acompañamiento de Mariana. A nivel interno fue, sin duda alguna, una experiencia fortalecedora. Mi capacidad de tomar decisiones equilibradas a mi ser y coherentes con mis intenciones profesionales de emprendedor social se fortalecieron gracias al proceso y los recursos recibidos durante el coaching con Mariana.
