Hi, I’m Miriam
I help leaders, teams, and individuals see the patterns they’re stuck in and give them language for what they’re experiencing, so they can lead with clarity, make aligned decisions, and build meaningful work.

My Story
I have always been fascinated by how people see the world.
Born in Brazil to a Portuguese family, raised across cultures and languages, I learned early that people are wired differently, and if you want to connect with them, you have to understand how they see the world.
That fascination became my life’s work.
I moved to the United States as a young adult, built a career as a translator and linguist (I speak 4 languages), earned law degrees in two countries, became a mediator, and eventually found my way to coaching.
Every step taught me something essential:
As a linguist, I learned that words and meaning matter; how you say something can change everything.
As an attorney, I learned how to see patterns, ask the right questions, listen carefully, and get to the root of complex problems.
As a mediator, I learned that most conflict isn’t about what people think; it’s actually about values, needs, and unspoken fears.
As a coach, I learned to synthesize all of it: the science of how people work, the art of deep listening, and the skill of helping people see what they can’t see about themselves.
For 8+ years, I’ve coached leaders, teams, and professionals navigating transitions, building leadership presence, and creating meaningful work. I’ve worked with domestic and international teams across tech, legal, automotive, and translation industries. And I learned a lot.
I thought I understood resilience. I thought I knew what it meant to stay grounded under pressure.
And then 2025 tested everything I’d been teaching.
WHAT MY COACH TAUGHT ME ABOUT SEEING CLEARLY
In April 2025, everything fell apart. My daughter’s diagnosis. Losing half my clients to layoffs. The guilt of “not doing enough” while barely surviving. For months, I told myself I was lazy, failing, wasting time. But I couldn’t see what was actually happening; I was in my own blind spot. That’s when my coach said something that changed everything: “You’re not being lazy. You’re surviving.”
She saw what I couldn’t see. She gave me language for what I was experiencing. She made the invisible visible. And suddenly, everything shifted, not because my circumstances changed, but because I could finally see them clearly.
This is the transformational power of coaching. And this is exactly what I do for my clients as well.
I help you see the patterns you’re stuck in, give you language for what you’re experiencing, and create the clarity you need to move forward.

What Makes Me Different
Most coaches give frameworks. Teach skills. Offer advice.
I do something different.
I translate your internal chaos into clarity.
I help you see the patterns keeping you stuck (before you even realize you’re in them). I give you language for experiences you thought were just “how things are.” I show you the connection between what you value and how you’re actually showing up.
And once you SEE it—once you have LANGUAGE for it—everything shifts.
Suddenly, the hard decisions become clearer. The stuck patterns start to loosen. The disconnection you’ve been feeling? You understand where it’s coming from, and you know what to do about it.
That’s the work.
Not quick fixes. Not surface strategies. Deep, sustained partnership that addresses root causes and creates lasting change.
My Approach
Real transformation happens through reconnection. Not once. Not as a one-time fix. But as a continuous practice.
Here’s how we work together:
1. RECONNECTION
We start by reconnecting you with what’s true: your values, your purpose, what actually matters beneath all the noise. This is the foundation everything else is built on.
2. PATTERN RECOGNITION
We identify the patterns keeping you stuck, how your brain works under stress, what your personality type reveals about your defaults, where your communication breaks down, and what systemic dynamics are at play.
3. LANGUAGE & CLARITY
I give you language for what you’re experiencing but can’t name it. Once you can NAME it, you can work with it. This is where the invisible becomes visible.
4. ALIGNED ACTION
From that clarity, we build. Not generic strategies, but actions aligned with YOUR values, YOUR wiring, YOUR goals. We create sustainable change that lasts because it’s built on what’s actually true for you.
5. SUSTAINED PARTNERSHIP
This isn’t a quick fix. Real transformation takes time. We work together over months (even years) to ensure the changes stick, because reconnection isn’t something you do once and forget about. It’s how you lead.

If you’re feeling disconnected from what matters, if you’re going through the motions but want to feel like yourself again, let’s talk figure out where to start.
