“The perfect balance between woo woo/spiritual and factual and grounded. Disarmed my inner critic and got through to me. … When I started this, I was a bit skeptical, even without fully realizing it. I was experiencing so much resistance to positive vibes that I could feel it throughout my whole body. The workshop, and especially being in a group, helped me make sense of so much and truly unblocked me. Today, I delulu journaled with a smile instead of tears. Thank you!” — Lyu, Sofia, Bulgaria

I’m Mercedes, a creative coach and a former design editor, strategist, and manager. As a coach, I regularly lead people through vision exercises, mindfulness practices, and habit formation — all the ingredients needed for change and self-actualization.

I’m energized by helping people change their minds about themselves and actualize the person inside — that one you’ve always known is there — through creative resilience, interconnectedness, and vulnerability.

My coaching methodology relies on knowledge from across many different worlds — art, science, philosophy, spirituality, literature, psychology, mythology, and more — plus my own life experiences with creativity, work, motherhood, relationships, friendships, trauma, grief, stress, separation, awe, joy, truth, and beauty.
