Life, Career & Connection Coach: Helping You Build a Life That Actually Feels Like Yours

1:1 Video Coaching · Leadership · Personal Growth · Dating & Relationships · Friendship

Hey, I'm Fernanda. I want to start by saying something honest: I've lived a lot of life.

I grew up in Rio de Janeiro, speak five languages, and have spent nearly two decades working across multiple countries in global operations and people development. I've navigated career transitions, cross-cultural relationships, the loneliness of being far from home, and the work of building meaningful community from scratch. I've had to figure out how to connect with people who see the world completely differently than I do, and how to show up authentically in all of it.

Now I'm building my consultancy, leading a growing connections community here in Charlotte, and heading back to school to become a licensed psychotherapist. Life is full, and I've learned that being intentional about who you are and how you relate is what makes all the difference.

That's the work I do with my coaching clients. Whether you're trying to find direction in your career, deepen your relationships, make real friends as an adult, navigate dating with more confidence, or just understand yourself better. I meet you where you are, with warmth, curiosity, and zero judgment.

I don't do cookie-cutter advice. I do real conversation that actually moves you forward.

Services

Career & Leadership Clarity

Feeling stuck or in transition? We'll get clear on your strengths, your direction, and how to show up as the leader you already are — even if you don't quite see it yet.

Personal Growth & Life Design

For the person who knows they want more but isn't sure what that looks like. We dig into values, patterns, and what's quietly holding you back.

Friendship & Social Connection

Making friends as an adult is genuinely hard, and most people won't admit they're struggling with it. I help you build the kind of social life you actually want — not just a full calendar.

Dating & Relationships

Whether you're newly single, stuck in patterns, or trying to figure out what you actually want — I help you show up in dating and relationships with more clarity and confidence.

Why Book with me

"I've been the new person in the room more times than I can count: in new countries, new companies, new cultures. I know what it feels like to start over, to feel unseen, and to build something real anyway. That's what I bring to every session."

Here's what you can expect when you work with me:

A real conversation, not a script. I'm genuinely curious about your life and what's going on for you. We'll talk like real people.

Cross-cultural perspective. I've lived and worked across multiple countries and cultures. If your life is global, multilayered, or just a little hard to explain. I get it.

No fluff, no toxic positivity. I care too much about your time to waste it. We'll name what's actually going on and figure out real next steps.

A background that spans more than one world. My work in people development, my ongoing graduate studies in psychotherapy, and my community-building experience all inform how I coach. I bring the whole picture.
