With Maríalejandra Reyes I received valuable support, which resulted in my transformation into a being focused on possibilities. Greater confidence and ambition as well as an expansion in my perspectives are now part of my life, and it is thanks to her experience and her way of doing coaching. For me a loving but challenging way. An assertive coach who will guide you to discover your potential.

I reached out to Marialejandra for her opinion on how to choose the next profession and it turned out to be the best decision. While interacting with a lot of other coaches feels like a coffee date with a friend, focused on talk therapy, Maria had tools that made the thinking process systematic, and increased my focus. After different assessments, once I decided on my career choice, she kept holding my hand and helped me draft an action plan for my big break. Maria is insightful, resourceful, and tremendously invested in her clients’ success, all of which makes her a go-to choice for all the lost souls out there.
