Life coaching and personal growth
About me
When you're looking for a life coach, it's all about finding someone you really connect with. That "click" between you and your coach is super important because it sets the tone for the whole journey. But what exactly is that click? In coaching, we call it rapport. Rapport is basically when you and I get each other — we understand each other's feelings and ideas, and we communicate well. That’s why it’s key to work with a coach who gets where you're coming from.
Let’s say you’re trying to adjust to life in a new country. It would probably help if your coach has been through the same thing, right? Or if you’re a single mom dealing with the challenges of raising kids on your own, it makes sense to find a coach who has walked a similar path. While any good coach will be there to listen and support you, it makes a big difference when they’ve faced something similar themselves. That’s why I’d like to share a bit about me — to see if we’re a good fit!
Hi, I’m Ester. I was born in Spain, and over the last 15 years, I’ve lived in more than 10 different countries. Right now, I live in Mexico, where I finally decided to settle down (despite the fear of missing out or thinking: "what if it's better somewhere else?").
For the past 8 years, I’ve been working as an anthropologist, getting to know people deeply — their dreams, fears, and what drives them forward. My work with women and men from across Africa, Europe, and Latin America has given me insight into what makes us human and how we navigate life’s ups and downs. That’s what inspired me to become a coach. I trained and got certified at Crearte and Heba Coaching, an ICF-accredited institution, so I could help people like you grow personally and professionally.
In our sessions, I’ll be there with you every step of the way, asking the right questions, challenging your perspectives, and helping you unlock new possibilities. But here’s the thing: you’re in charge. You’re the one who gets to shape your path. My job is to offer a safe, non-judgmental space where you can explore your potential and start building the life you want.
I love supporting people who are going through changes — whether it’s in their career, emotions, or even on a spiritual level. I believe we’re all a work in progress, and that’s the beauty of it: we keep moving forward, becoming better versions of ourselves.
I don’t have all the answers, but I’m confident that together we can find ways for you to live more fully and in tune with what really matters to you.
Let's work together!

My story of chang(es)
In 2018 I finished my PhD in social anthropology. For the record, my dream had never been to become an academic, but that's where I ended up. Although I did not feel completely satisfied in the academic field, the social pressure of colleagues and friends, as well as the fear of facing the unknown, made me continue on autopilot, from postdoc to postdoc.
I had achieved everything I thought I needed. I was established in Germany, had a partner and a stable job in a highly respected academic institution. And yet, despite my accomplishments, I didn't feel fulfilled. Those feelings kept getting bigger and more overwhelming until one day I exploded. I left everything and did what I do best in life: run away. Two years later, with two failed relationships behind me, with clear signs of addiction to all the possible -zepams one coould imagine, and still not knowing what to do with my life, I realized that something had to change.
After loads of theraphy and a painful coaching process, for the first time in my life I was forced to face the most terrifying question of all:
What does Ester want?
(and where does she want it?)
Have you ever asked yourself this question? What was the answer? In my case, I realized that it was not clear at all. Mind you, what seemed to be very clear to me was what others wanted and expected from me. It was not an easy process, but it was worth it. For the first time in my life I decided to stop moving on by inertia, based on other people's expectations, and I began to take action.
