From personal triumph to trusted coach
Guiding your journey with proven experience and wisdom
My journey
I am Gabriela, a proud mother to a wonderful boy, and I currently live in Limerick, Ireland. Born in Romania, where I grew up under a communist regime with limited freedom of expression, I always sought something that would bring me a sense of belonging and validation. This internal quest shaped the trajectory of my life and led me on a transformative journey, both personally and professionally.
My professional career began in the casino industry, which I entered during my university years in Bucharest. For over 25 years, I worked in various roles, including operations and management, in casinos across Bucharest, Cairo, and beyond.
My fascination with human behavior and psychology deepened during these years, allowing me to connect with people on a profound level. However, my path wasn't without challenges. My pursuit of self-expression and personal growth was rooted in my desire to transcend the limitations of my upbringing and find my true sense of self.
At 22, I made a bold move to Egypt, where I became one of the first women to hold a management role in a casino in an Arab country. Immersing myself in the culture and overcoming the challenges of working in a male-dominated environment, I relied on my empathy and communication skills to thrive.
However, my personal life took a different turn, and after six years, I found myself trapped in an unhealthy relationship. With limited resources, I left Egypt, determined to rebuild my life.
The years that followed were marked by profound transformation. I battled low self-esteem, depression, and fear, but I refused to be defined by these struggles. Through holistic coaching, positive psychology, and personal growth, I rediscovered my strength and self-worth.
This period of introspection and healing allowed me to embrace self-love and gratitude, transforming my life and giving me the clarity to pursue a more meaningful existence.
My Approach
Today, I am dedicated to empowering other women to embark on their own transformative journeys. Through holistic coaching, I guide women to reclaim their power, find their voice, and define their purpose. I know how it feels to be unseen and unheard, and I am committed to supporting others in breaking free from those limitations. Together, we can uncover your immense potential and create a purposeful and fulfilling life.
​
The process I’ve developed combines holistic coaching, positive psychology, and physical intelligence, guided by my core values of kindness, integrity, love, and spirituality. My mission is to help women believe in themselves, embrace their greatness, and see life as an opportunity for growth. As a coach, I am honoured to guide others on their path to healing, self-discovery, and empowerment—helping them unlock the magic within and create a life filled with purpose and joy.
My professional qualifications
With a background in psychology and a career spanning operations, customer service, and management, my focus has always been on people. From managing casino operations to empowering teams, my passion lies in delivering exceptional service levels, honed through experiences in Bucharest, Cairo, cruise ships, the UK, and Ireland.
