🧭 Career & Business Clarity Sessions

“I was overworked in multiple salaried roles, trying to juggle everything while launching my farm business. Raquel helped me identify my biggest fear — leaving the safety of employment — and build a plan rooted in clarity, mindset, and practical strategy. I finally feel grounded in my next step.”

Yogev, Environmental Consultant → Founder, EcoHomestead (Virginia, USA)

“If you’re feeling stuck or unsure where to begin, I highly recommend Raquel.

After years of nomadic living, her support helped me ground my next steps.”

🌿 Workshops & Group Experiences

Participant Review: Work Without Panic: Future-Proof Your Career

“This workshop was extremely helpful — I wouldn’t have ever thought of these things on my own. Honestly, it opened my mind a lot and made me see my work and goals differently.

I joined during a time when I was feeling unmotivated at my 9–5 and wanted to rebuild my energy and confidence. The session helped me reflect on my habits, balance my time, and start planning my next steps — both personally and professionally.

I loved how interactive it was — it didn’t feel like a lecture. Raquel really listened, gave clear and practical advice, and made it easy to understand things I’d never even heard of before, like personal branding.

I left the workshop feeling inspired and grounded, ready to take small steps forward again. I’ll definitely be joining future sessions.”

Jasmin B., International Logistics Professional (London, UK)

🤝 From LinkedIn Connections

“Raquel's attention to detail, strategic thinking, and proactive approach to communication management were a large part of the success of the project. Raquel actively sought input, fostered open communication across teams, and was always available to address concerns or adapt plans when needed.

It was a pleasure partnering with someone so reliable and solutions-oriented. I would highly recommend Raquel for any role that requires excellent communication skills, strategic planning, and teamwork.”

Davis Muglach, Sr. Program Manager at Uber (Texas, USA)

“Her skill was key in ensuring that the method of communications spanned multiple areas from emails, slack, newsletters, and company intranet. Raquel also displayed the ability to effectively manage multiple communication plans simultaneously. I would gladly partner with her again and recommend Raquel to anyone who is looking for a strong communicator, team player, and someone with a great attitude.”

Patrick, Senior Program Manager - Strategic Initiatives at Uber (New York, USA)

“Raquel was a pleasure to work beside. She is determined, organized, and open minded. She is great at listening to feedback and applying it to her work as well as coming up with creative writing and solving issues. Researching common trends and relating to her audience is her specialty.

Not only does she work well in a personal environment, she also strives in her own business. She has successfully designed a start up business for herself to sell her coaching skills, and writing services. She has also created a wonderful community for people to share their thoughts about cultural and social issues.

She takes pride in her work and everything she does and has a good grasp of her goals and what she wants to achieve in life. She is passionate and will bring fresh ideas and a great personality to any work environment. I'm so lucky I've had the pleasure of working with her.”

Alyssa, Graphic Designer at Kimley-Horn (Virginia, USA)

“Raquel is a lovely individual who greets all challenges by putting her best foot forward. Raquel brings a "calmness to the storm" -she is able to quickly identify pain points and takes the steps to solve them with grace and a smile.

A diligent professional, she has the finely honed skills of research, project management, and tact. I fully support Raquel in any venture she pursues because I know that even if it involves unfamiliar terrain, she will do the work to get up to speed quickly, efficiently, and doing all this while exemplifying the good judgment and people skills any company would be lucky to have.”

Helena, Software Engineer (Minnesota, USA)
