Founder & Certified Identity-Based Life Coach®
Helping High-Achieving Women 40+ Break Free from Feeling Stuck and Become The Woman Who Creates Her Own Destiny✨ | Certified Identity-Based Life Coach® | @ilumina.lifecoach
Leadership Coaching, Life Coaching, Relationship Coaching, Success Coaching
Interested?Welcome to Ilumina Life Coaching. I’m Gabriela, and I know firsthand how it feels to want more out of life, yet feel stuck or out of alignment with who you truly are. My own journey through setbacks, transformation, and reinvention inspired me to help other high-achieving women to lead a deeply fulfilling life that's true to who they're meant to be.
I offer a research backed, results-driven approach to personal transformation through Identity-Based Coaching® and the Stuck Story Coaching® Method. The real reason most people don’t achieve their goals isn’t lack of motivation—it’s that they're living out of alignment with their authentic self. Instead of focusing on traditional goal setting or habit change, my coaching blends narrative psychology, neuroscience, and positive psychology to help you rewrite the stories keeping you stuck.
Through a structured identity-based coaching experience, an accountability plan, and my empathetic guidance you'll become the woman who creates her own destiny in just 4-6 weeks and you'll confidently step into your next era in 12 weeks.

MIRELLA'S JOURNEY TO EMPOWERED SINGLE MOTHERHOOD
"I used to define myself as 'just a struggling single mom in my 40's. Through Gabriela's identity-based coaching, I discovered I was so much more. Now I confidently introduce myself as a resilient leader, both in my career and at home. My transformation wasn't just about managing life and relationships better – it was about seeing myself differently. When my identity shifted from 'surviving' to ‘empowered,' everything else naturally followed. Now I'm confidently pursuing my goals, in a healthy co-parenting relationship, and open to love again."
ALMA’S HEALTH AND IDENTITY EVOLUTION
"For years, my identity was wrapped up in failed attempts at health goals. I was 'the person who couldn't stick to anything. Working with Gabriela, I didn't just change my habits – I transformed how I saw myself. I became someone who makes powerful choices, someone who follows through. The weight loss and energy boost? Those were natural outcomes of my new identity as a woman who prioritizes her wellbeing. The old thinking patterns that kept me stuck for years simply don't fit who I am anymore. I'm feeling unbelievably empowered—and I lost the weight"

NATALY’S FUTURE-SELF ALIGNMENT
“On the surface, I had it all together, but deep down, I felt an uncertainty when I thought about my future. With Gabriela’s coaching, I didn't just create a roadmap – I discovered who I needed to become to achieve my dreams. My transformation started when I stopped asking 'What should I do?' and started asking 'Who am I becoming?' Now, my decisions and actions naturally align with my priorities and aspirations, and I'm excited about doing life on my terms."

Professional Experience
I help high-achieving career women over 40 who are ready to break free from feeling stuck and step into the next era of their lives—on their own terms. At Ilumina Life Coaching, my mission is to empower you to reconnect with your true self, let go of limitations, and design a life that feels deeply fulfilling and true to who you're mean to be.
My approach is different from traditional coaching. As a Certified Identity-Based Life Coach, I guide you through a structured program that focuses on transforming your self-concept—not just your habits. Together, we’ll uncover who you want to become, rewrite the stories that keep you playing small, and build the identity and clarity needed to align every area of your life.
After overcoming setbacks and rediscovering my own purpose through identity-based coaching, I founded Ilumina Life Coaching to help other high-achieving women live intentionally, lead confidently, and create lives they genuinely love. I believe feeling stuck is not a sign of failure—it’s an invitation to realign with your true self and rise.
My Approach
Transformation starts with identity. I help you clarify who you want to become, then support you in building the mindset, confidence, and intentional strategies to make that vision real. My process is structured, evidence-based, and deeply personal—rooted in the belief that you already have everything you need to create a life you love.
