About Me
I'm Raquel, a coach with a life story and approach that might resonate with you.
​
With 25 years of experience as a policy influencer in Brussels, I’ve navigated the complexities of high-responsibility roles, including directing offices for food-related industries. My career in this demanding, multilingual environment has given me firsthand insight into the pressures and expectations that come with leadership at the highest levels. In 2020, I completed a ICF certified coaching training, which has since allowed me to work with a diverse range of clients on both personal and professional topics. My unique blend of industry experience and coaching knowledge enables me to offer tailored support, whether you’re striving for success in your career or seeking fulfillment in your personal life.​
​
On a personal level, I’ve faced and overcome my own fears, such as the fear of solitude, failure, and conflict. I’ve challenged limiting beliefs like the notion that you must give everything to others to be valued or that joy must be earned through suffering. I also understand the relentless pursuit of perfection—striving to excel at work, as a mother, and in my lifestyle. ​

These experiences have deepened my empathy and enriched my coaching practice, allowing me to connect with my clients on a profound level as they navigate their own challenges.
Now, I cherish solitude because I no longer feel lonely. I enjoy challenging myself and trying new things because I believe there is no failure, only learning. I express myself with confidence while remaining respectful, and I dare to put my needs first, even if it means disappointing others. I’ve decided that I deserve to be happy, simply because I am. Instead of striving for perfection, I choose to respect myself and embrace authenticity.​
​
To reach this point, I’ve had to learn—and unlearn—many things, create new neural connections, give space to my intuition, and look within myself rather than outside. I want to share this perspective and my process with you because if I could do it, so can you!
Why work with Raquel
Compás con Raquel
Imagine you are on a road trip to an exciting destination. You, as the driver, decide where to go and the speed at which you move. You are in control of the steering wheel and in charge of the driving. Now, the coach is like your co-pilot, sitting next to you, supporting you on the journey.
Your co-pilot, the coach, does not take control of the car or choose the destination for you. Instead, their role is to help you find the best way to get where you want to go. She suggests routes you may not have considered and alerts you to possible detours or traffic jams ahead. The co-pilot-coach also encourages you during the journey, making sure you stay focused and motivated, especially when the road becomes difficult or unexpected. If you face a detour, he or she helps you reorient yourself and reminds you that no matter how far you have strayed, there is always a way back to your main route.
If you wish to have support and want someone to accompany you on this journey, I am here for you. Like an attentive co-pilot, I will help you find your way, stay on course, and overcome any obstacles that may arise. My goal is to provide you with the guidance you need to move forward with confidence.
