Welcome to Cortea! Cortea goes back to the Italian term of corteare which means to accompany someone in a life changing event. Cortea Coaching supports clients who are striving but would rather be thriving in transition and seek joy and fulfillment in their next stage. Going through major life transitions, whether at a professional or personal level requires awareness of who we are and how we want to be in this world. As a coach, I am committed to accompany my clients in their journey and help them clarify their goals and what is important to them for personal growth. With deep listening, insightful questions, somatic coaching techniques and humor, I create a safe space for my clients to clarify their intentions, explore possibilities as well as blind spots, and integrate new behaviors as they transition to the next level in their career or personal life.
What is Transition Coaching?

““Transition is the inner psychological process that people go through as they internalize and come to terms with the new situation that the change brings about.””
My approach to transition coaching focuses on three aspects:
the appreciation of your individual traits and strengths
the development and implementation of a vision for a desired next stage
the managing of resistance and negative emotions during the transition process
More specifically, I will help you to gain clarity and a fuller appreciation of your individual strength and achievements; as well as of traits from a previous stage or negative emotions that may need to be overcome or left behind. Together, we will work on opening up new possibilities and clarify a vision for a fulfilled next stage.
When tackling a new life event there can be a sense of being overwhelmed or feeling stuck. Coaching will allow you to build and maintain the momentum for change by identifying the obstacles to making choices and moving forward.
Through coaching, we will support personal growth throughout your transition process by building courage and confidence to take the next step (and the first one). Our practices are shown to improve wellbeing and reduce stress levels associated with significant change. We will also emphasize the rekindling of relationships and expansion of your network, so that you can be comfortable in finding the people who can support you the most.

Leadership Coaching
I work globally with corporate leaders, business and nonprofits leaders who are trying to make a difference in the world. If you are seeking to realize your full potential, I will support you in clarifying and pursuing your leadership goals, while being in service of the mission and strategic vision of your organiation. I will support you as you master challenges with a focus on leading others by managing resistance and discomfort during change processes; help you expore blind spots and inner saboteurs that may stand in your way, and enable your personal growth through developing greater leadership presence.
Life (Transition) Coaching
Life coaching is a type of coaching focused on personal transitions and relationships beyond the professional world. Life is filled with unexpected changes and they require quiet introspection in a neutral zone between endings and new beginnings, to gain new perspectives, become better friends to our true selves and access what gives us meaning. For example, leaving a job behind and the identity, purpose and relationships it gave us, requires major changes and is often met with uncertainty and resistance. Working with a coach can help you gain clarity of what you need to let go of - and who you want to be. Coaching can support you to build resilience by cultivating a positive mindset and familiarize you with mental fitness techniques to practice self-exploration and support positive change as you find new meaning in your life.
