I'm VIRGINIA â€‹a Brisbane-based Life Coach and Therapist, deeply committed to walking alongside my clients through the many chapters of their lives—especially the messy, painful, and transformative ones. My work is rooted in empathy, professional training, and the richness of my own healing journey. With every client, my aim is to create a safe, compassionate space where they feel seen, supported, and empowered.

 

Having lived and worked internationally—and shaped by my French, Colombian, and Salvadorian roots—I’ve been exposed to a wide range of human experiences, belief systems, and healing traditions. These encounters have deeply enriched my therapeutic approach, allowing me to blend evidence-based practices with a strong appreciation for cultural and emotional nuance. I remain committed to ongoing education and accreditation, including training from the School of Psychology and Wellbeing, continually deepening my knowledge of therapeutic modalities, theories, and ethical practices to provide the most effective and respectful support for my clients.

 

My own path has taken me across continents, through trauma, healing, and growth. I carry the weight and wisdom of escaping war as a child, rebuilding in unfamiliar lands, surviving cultural discrimination, coercive abusive relationships, navigating traumatic births, and living with the shadows of postnatal depression and anxiety. As a mother, wife, daughter, sister, and woman, I’ve come to understand the courage it takes to hold things together during life’s toughest moments. These experiences have shaped not just who I am, but how I connect with my clients—bringing depth, authenticity and a non-judgmental presence into every session.

​​

Through resilience and renewal, I have rebuilt my life—transforming deep pain into something meaningful and empowering.  Each scar has made me stronger, more grounded, and more committed to walking alongside others on their healing journey.​​ Each story is unique. I offer guidance, support, and encouragement —meeting my clients wherever they are and walking beside them as they find clarity, healing, and strength to live more authentically and feel truly empowered.
