Dog cuddles

A little bit about me

Hi, I'm Romelia. Lets talk about life transitions because I have had a few, I was born in the UK to a Colombian mother (hence the name) and a British father (hence not looking very Latina) and lived here until I was 7. As a family we then moved to Thailand where I went to an international school, we then moved back briefly to the UK and then moved to Spain where I went to a Spanish speaking school. We then moved back to the UK permanently where I finished my education. After finishing university I moved back to London where we lived until 3 years ago. My husband, dog and I took a leap of faith, leaving the comfort of London where I had grown up and we had happily lived for so many years and moved to the serene Kent countryside to begin a new chapter. This was where I finally decided that coaching was my calling. That gave me whiplash just reading the amount of moving I have done!

 

When it comes to work you name it and I probably have the t-shirt. I have worked for huge companies and really small companies, I have been managed and managed teams. I have been made redundant and had to start over. I have moved, up, down and across the ladder. I have done jobs I loved, jobs that were just to pay the bills and more importantly jobs I hated and made me feel deeply unhappy and unfulfilled. After dedicating more than 15 years working as an Office Manager across diverse industries in London from the corporate to the charity sector I found myself falling out of love with both London life and the 9-5 grind. For years I knew there was a different path waiting for me, even though I wasn’t entirely sure what it was yet. I felt like I was lacking direction and didn't feel that I was doing my calling. After spending over four years at my final organisation I realised I want to break free (I sing whilst channelling my inner Freddy Mercury) and pursue a career that brought me joy and excitement whilst using my people skills and a few tricks I have learnt over the years. Coaching is something I that I found I had been doing for years at work without knowing what it was until I had some myself and that was my ah-ha moment, where I finally found a career that filled my cup and what I had been looking for all those years. The coaching I received literally changed my life and that is why we are finding each other now.

This has been one of the biggest transitions of my adult life where I have had to step so far out of my comfort zone whilst knowing it would be worth it in the end. The decision to start my own coaching business was a monumental transition and not an easy one. I was terrified to go out on my own, learn something new, put myself out there, not know when the next pay check was coming in (because security is a really important value for me). But every step showed me it was the right decision for me. Looking back I can now see I was totally burnt out from a career that didn't fulfil me but I know firsthand how daunting major life transitions can feel especially when we feel the weight of other peoples opinions and judgments and financial constraints. Whether it’s starting your own business, switching to a career you’re passionate about, changing career paths, relocating for work or pleasure, or pushing through a goal that has you feeling stuck. I have done them all, I understand all the feelings and I’m here to help so you don't feel so overwhelmed and alone. Together, we can make small (or even bold!) steps forward to create a life you love.

I’ve supported many people just like you in achieving their goals and taking those next steps towards growth. I would love to hear your story and work with you on your own transformative journey.

We only have one life to live so lets try and make it the happiest one we can.

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the things you did.
