“Rafael has truly transformed my life. From our first session, he showed an incredible ability to listen with compassion and get to the heart of my struggles. I’ve become more confident in my abilities and have accomplished tasks I once thought were literally impossible-like starting a business from scratch! I'm no longer stuck in fear; I feel capable of actually achieving things. And instead of dreading change, I am actually excited for it.
Rafael has also challenged me to face and process uncomfortable feelings rather than avoid them. It's been tough but incredibly rewarding. I’m so grateful for his guidance and highly recommend him to anyone looking for lasting change. He’s the life coach you didn’t know you needed.”— Catherine

“Raf has helped me overcome and understand a lot about myself. If you're looking for a way to get out of life rut or have personal goals that you're struggling to overcome, I'd highly recommend getting sessions in with Raf. He's an extremely empathetic listener that will seek to understand your personal issues, and work WITH you to overcome them. Sessions with him have absolutely helped me understand myself much faster than if I'd tried on my own. It'll take a lot of work, but having a coach like him makes the journey much easier.”

I’ve been working with Coach Raf for a few years, and it’s one of the best choices I’ve ever made. As a high performer and people pleaser, I often struggle with giving myself permission to do the things that bring me joy. After working with Raf, I can confidently say that I know how to work through and with my emotions. I can still remember insights we came to from our sessions years ago that I carry to this day. Not only is he encouraging and a true coach, but a kind and patient person to have in your corner. If you’re reading this, book! Raf is awesome.

“I enjoyed working with Raf because of his empathetic and caring nature. I could tell he genuinely cares about me and his other clients too based on how he responded to my concerns. He has helped me overcome my biggest challenge: feeling safe and comfortable around men, which I have learned to do after working with him for about 2 years. He also has brought up topics I've mentioned in the past and connected them to what I was currently facing. He also provided great insight to what I was trying to understand. I highly recommend Raf as a coach!”
