Hi, I’m Romelia.
Hello
I was born in the UK to a Colombian mum (hence the name) and a British dad (hence not looking very Latina).
I didn’t start my business in my twenties when everything was a bit pirkery with a five-year plan. I started at 40 (a bit less perky).
On paper, my life looked great. Stable job. Steady income. Great husband (who is still great thank god!) Doing what I was “supposed” to do. But I felt unfulfilled.
I kept thinking is this it, is this what my life is going to be until I retire or have a nervous break down?
After almost 20 years working as an Office Manager across corporate and charity sectors, I realised my job just wasn’t cutting it for me.
I knew I wanted to do something different and having had coaching through work I knew deep in my bones that coaching was the way forward for me. So, I got my qualification and started my business. Easy right?
Well, instead of it being amazing and easy I felt lost and overwhelmed. I felt like I’d made a huge mistake trying to change direction at this stage in my life. At the time, it felt like I was spinning plates.
I’d just moved house. I was spending thousands on qualifications. I’d left a job I’d fallen out of love with to go all in on something that just wasn’t working. I’d also recently lost my mum to a long term illness, and it forced me to really look at my life. I could hear her saying (imagine it in the voice of Sofia Vergara) "if you don't try you'll never know"
I knew I couldn’t carry on as I was. Something had to change!
I did what most people do when they’re starting out. I made the business cards. Created the pretty flyers. Tried to put myself out there both in person and on social media.
And nothing really worked because I didn’t know who I was speaking to or how to reach her. And slowly, I started to believe I was chasing a silly dream.
What actually changed everything
Things only started to shift when I stopped trying to do it all on my own.
Hiring a business coach was, without question, the best investment I’ve ever made. Not just financially, but mentally.
I finally had:
Clarity on who I was here to help.
Structure in how to actually build my business.
Support from someone who understood what I was trying to do.
And that’s when the right clients started to come.
What I do now…
Now, I help women who feel stuck, fed up, and ready for something more build businesses that actually work.
Women who:
Have spent years doing what’s expected of them.
Feel like they’ve lost themselves somewhere along the way.
Want more freedom, flexibility, and control over their life.
But have no clear idea how to turn that into a business that makes money.
Because starting a business on your own?
It’s hard. It’s overwhelming. And it can feel incredibly lonely.
But it doesn’t have to be.
I don’t want you wasting time, money, and energy the way I did. Guessing, second-guessing, and trying to piece it all together alone.
I bring together:
Nearly 20 years of experience supporting people through change in the corporate world.
Real, lived experience of building a business from scratch.
An understanding of living in the 90's with a dial-up modem and finding all this modern tech a bit daunting (hands up if you remember Encarta).
And the lessons I learned the hard way so you don’t have to.
I’ve always loved the people side of my work, helping others think differently, step into something new, and do the things that feel uncomfortable but necessary.
Now I get to do that every day, with women who are ready to stop putting themselves last.
