Leadership Coaching, Life 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, health scares, and transformation for reinvention inspired me to help other high-achieving women 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.

My Clients

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 living life on my terms."

Professional Experience

You’ve built a life that looks successful—a career and reputation you’ve worked hard to earn. But inside, something feels off.

Not dissatisfaction.

Not a lack of gratitude.

Just a quiet sense of unfulfillment—because what used to work no longer matches who you are becoming.

A clear realization: you’re ready for what’s next.

This is the turning point so many high-achieving women reach in their 40s and beyond.

It isn't a motivation problem. It’s an identity that’s ready to evolve——calling for deeper alignment, meaningful impact, and a life that actually fits.

The women I work with are accomplished, self-aware, and deeply capable. They’re often navigating success that no longer feels satisfying—restless, disconnected, or operating on autopilot. They know they’re meant for more, even if the path forward feels unclear or overwhelming.

My work isn’t about fixing what’s “wrong,” chasing more goals, or layering on habits and discipline.

It’s identity-based transformation—guiding you back to your truest self with clarity, self-trust, and grounded confidence, so your choices come from truth, not pressure, and your life reflects your values, not expectations.

I offer a results-driven, identity-based transformational coaching experience for women ready to move beyond “fine” and into real alignment and fulfillment.

You’re ready for a life designed on your terms. This is for the high-achieving woman over 40 who refuses to settle, I guide you to activate personal agency, rebuild self-trust, and create lasting transformation for reinvention.

If you’re in a season of change—or you can feel one approaching—let’s start with an open, honest conversation.

To your wildly empowered next era,

Gabriela Schreiber
