Testimonials

My coaching experience with Carolina has been a life changer. I am in process of getting a diagnosis for ADHD, but with her for the first time i really felt heard and acknowledged in my struggles. I could finally start to understand all the reasons behind my behaviour and my difficulties with time management, planning, procrastination, etc.
The most important has been developing strategies to manage those issues and feel the progress, as now many of those issues have started to decrease and my self confidence has improved, since now I truly believe I can have a better quality of life just by learning strategies that allow me to tackle all those issues that have made my life harder.
She’s kind, patient and empathetic, I would recommend her to anyone who needs some orientation, regardless of having or not a diagnosis.

– Margarita, 34, Female, undiagnosed ADHD

Carolina is very understanding and quick-witted. Her personal experience with ADHD makes each piece of advice authentic and full of kindness. Her diverse background also enables her to make connections between different topics in order to understand them in a relevant context.

I would recommend coaching with Carolina to anyone wishing to gain a better understanding of their own functioning and develop adapted, effective strategies! (Translated from French)

– Leo S.

Working with Carolina means getting to the bottom of things and in a good mood! Together, we were able to explore in depth the mechanisms that fed my automatisms (procrastination, perfectionism, inattention, self-confidence, etc.), all in a serious but relaxed atmosphere where I feel listened to and welcomed.

Carolina’s approach and her concrete tools enabled me to understand the roots of my blockages and put in place practical strategies to overcome them.

What I particularly appreciate is that coaching is not limited to the illusory quest to become a better version of myself, but rather leads me towards a better understanding and greater acceptance of who I am. I’m grateful for this support, which is a catalyst that enables me to blossom and grow.

– Adi, 35 year old, male, ADHD and project manager in administration

I worked with Carolina to help me manage my ADHD after having been diagnosed as an adult. Carolina gave me some great insights and tips for dealing with consequences of ADHD that were both practical and easy to implement. I strongly recommend Carolina’s coaching services

– Elisa

Carolina helped our colleagues and students improve our awareness of ADHD and other neurodiversities, our self-awareness and self-compassion, and develop effective coping strategies. She is extremely knowledgeable and shares her insights and experience skillfully and generously. She does so with kindness, humour, professionalism, and empathy.

Carlina has a genuine passion for reducing access barriers at the individual, institutional, and societal levels. She is equally well-equipped to provide individual coaching and organisational, even political, consultancy.

– Michal Sela, Geneva Graduate Institute

I recently had the opportunity to attend Carolina’s webinar on ADHD, and I was genuinely blown away. ADHD is an extremely complex topic, and it’s very common to hear overly simplified explanations — but Carolina achieved the exact opposite. She managed to present the subject in a way that was both comprehensive and accessible, without ever falling into clichés or generalizations. What impressed me most was her ability to connect the dots: she highlighted mechanisms, links, and patterns that truly help make sense of how ADHD works. She covered a wide range of aspects in a short amount of time, yet the content was always clear, structured, and engaging. I never felt lost or overwhelmed — on the contrary, I felt constantly stimulated and eager to learn more. The webinar was fascinating, insightful, and genuinely useful, whether you’re already familiar with ADHD or discovering it for the first time. In one word: it was a masterclass. I highly recommend Carolina’s work to anyone who wants to deepen their understanding of ADHD — her expertise is matched only by her ability to communicate it with clarity and passion.

Professional experience

My Specialties

Mental Health Background

In my psychology studies, I specialized in trauma, grief, and multi-cultural counseling. I am able to explain symptoms, co-occurring conditions, treatments, and updates from scientific studies.

I’ve also assessed staff well-being in humanitarian organisations and advised on mental health policy.

Intersectional Lens

As a socio-anthropologist, I accompany clients from a holistic and intersectional lens. I look at each individual’s unique ADHD experience within their personal context. We explore questions of identity together and how they make meaning within their experience of culture, social norms, identity, gender, sexual orientation, medical history, and value sets.

In my spare time, I visit people in prison and train future visitors how to listen authentically and without judgment.

Lived Experience

I engage with clients from the perspective of a peer who is diagnosed with ADHD, and then some. My own continuous journey of struggles and strengths informs my understanding of ADHD and the impact it brings to daily life.

Additional experiences we might have in common include :
  • Multicultural upbringing
  • Humanitarian worker
  • Researcher
  • Entrepreneur

I PROMISE

I will do my best to hold space for you.

I strive to be a safe person and do my homework.

I will be open to your feedback when I invariably fail to provide true safe space for you.

I acknowledge that this is an inevitability because I have been socialized into white supremacy, patriarchy, colonialism, and other forms of oppression.

When I fail, I will hear your feedback with respect, work to make a repair if possible, and strive to avoid repeating the same harm in the future.

Inclusion in the Workplace

True inclusion is a two-way street. Each team member has a role to play.

Neurodivergence, by definition, means to think, process, learn, and communicate differently. This means that the way we get things done, cope with stress, and rest might also look different.

By approaching difference with curiosity, we strengthen our abilities to listen, problem solve, and lead.
