ABOUT
Maybe you feel depleted, exhausted, or disconnected from yourself. Maybe you even feel guilty for thinking about your own needs.
If that sounds familiar, I’m really glad you’re here.
Hi, I’m Gabriela—though most people call me Gaby. I was once feeling depleted and exhausted also.
I’m a woman, a wife, a caregiver both inside and outside the home, and a mom to an angel baby. I’m also living with Multiple Sclerosis (MS). Caregiving is what first led me to nursing. But facing my own health challenges is what ultimately led me to learning how to live well.
After the initial shock of my diagnosis passed, I focused on what I could control and committed to improving my health. Yet even then, I continued operating in the same pattern—pushing, striving, ignoring the signals my body was sending. Eventually, I felt exhausted, misaligned with my values, and I was simply going through the motions. Beneath the surface, there was also anger and frustration.
Deep down, I knew something had to shift. So with a lot of trepidation, I made a decision that felt both terrifying and necessary—I left my job. What began as uncertainty soon transformed into something unexpected: empowerment. Without the constant pressure to keep going, I finally had the space to pause, reflect, and reconnect with myself. That space allowed me to heal and to realize that I didn’t want to just survive anymore—I wanted to truly live. It was this journey that led me to coaching where I now support women navigating similar circumstances.
My nursing background gave me the tools. But my experience with MS and burnout gave me something even more important: permission. Permission to slow down, to advocate for myself, to create a life that felt meaningful and sustainable. Fear is powerful. It can keep us stuck, or it can move us forward. I’ve chosen to befriend fear and move forward. There are still hard days, but I meet them now with compassion rather than resistance.
Today, I’m not just surviving—I’m thriving.
