about me

I'm passionate about empowering women to create their best life

Certified Life and Relationship Coach, LA-native living in London, wife, mother, creative, and more

I've studied self-help and personal development for 24 years, giving me tools and skills for my best and worst times.  

I beat an autoimmune disease, solo backpacked and worked my way across Europe for two years, started a new life at 32 in London, and achieved high success in a male-dominated career.

My 20s and early 30s were filled with adventure, travel, culture, hobbies, and a strong identity. Then my career grew bigger, I got married, and I lost myself to my roles and societal expectations. 

2020's UK lockdown was my low. Unable to see family, marriage strained, socially isolated, and burning out at work.

That summer I turned 40, a milestone that massively motivated me to fix my life.  So I got totally clear on what REALLY mattered to me, and dove into personal development studies and coaching.  

I took full responsibility for my life and happiness.

I priortized selfcare, and investment in my mind, heart, body, and spirit. I journaled daily, to find myself, and create myself. I studied multiple self-help gurus, and did a transformational Tony Robbins seminar (I've since done several more!).

And 7 months later, I was a new woman!  Mentally, physically, and emotionally.

I saved my marriage, transformed my health and body, catapulted my career, deepened my friendships, and focused once again on my interests, hobbies, goals, and dreams. 

I became my best self, with hard work, that continues every single day. My habits get tested, particularly when stressed, and as a mother (my daughter is 2.5 yo now).  But I know those are the times I need to double-down on myself, not the opposite!

Caring for ourselves takes work, but it's the best kind! And I have proven tools and knowledge to get back on my path when I fall off - and I still get coached, of course!   

I have so much passion for this work because I live it every day, and so many lessons to share - plus two coaching certifications from highly esteemed schools! I would love to work with you!

I completely transformed
my life and you can too

Hello!  I'm Adriana

My story

Motherhood and times of stress are when
I double-down on caring for myself

  • Over-prioritised my career and money  
  • Thought a "good wife" meant taking care of my husband
  • Let my selfcare, spirituality, hobbies, and dreams go
  • Looked outside myself for happiness, reward, and purpose
  • Numbed out with eating, shopping, scrolling, and TV
  • Had no relationship with my body or physical health
  • Ignored my wise inner knowing
  • Was stressed out, controlling, critical, and hard to please (especially with my husband)   

At my lowest

I realized I ...

The painful details

can you relate?

this is totally me, help!

In my mind I did "everything", and my husband didn't appreciate me. 

I had a multi-6 figure career, made a beautiful home for us, cooked dinner every night, planned our holidays, and more... I did SO much! 

But my husband didn't seem to care. He'd say things like, "I never asked you to do that", or "You're overdoing it", or "RELAX".  

He actually offered to do a lot for us, like he did in the early years. But I'd say no, repeatedly. Deep down I thought I could do it better, or I preferred to hire a professional - from the groceries to DIY, I managed it all.

So my once charming, playful, and romantic French husband slowly retreated from me, and our relationship. And the less he did, the MORE I desperately did, which definitely didn't work!

I lost myself trying to be perfect at EVERYTHING - my home, marriage, family, friendships, and my career.  Completely ignoring my selfcare, mind, body, heart, and spirit, letting everything that made me ME, go.

I was depleted, stressed out, unhappy, and resentful.  I lost my humour, joy, and spark for life.  I was no longer the woman he married, though I often said it was him who had changed, not me.

I blamed my husband for so much of my unhappiness (spoiler alert... it was totally me!).

My marriage transformation

I was no longer the woman my husband fell in love with

I tried to be the perfect wife,
but I had it all wrong!  

Helpful, but I was controlling  
           
Giving advice, but I was critical 

Smart, but I was condescending

Concerned, but I was distrustful

Taking care of him, but I was smothering               
Opinionated, but I was disrespectful

I just had to get certified in this work - it's magic!

Sound like you? I know, it's a difficult realization...
But it means you have all the power to fix your marriage! 


the most important
skill this book taught me is selfcare  

make ourselves happy and the rest follows from there!

My happily ever after...

On the outside no one (including me!) knew I was acting this badly. I was just trying to be a great wife!  

Even my husband didn't totally see it, he just knew he was less and less attracted to me mentally, physically, and emotionally. 

When I read this book at my low in 2020, it was a dagger to my heart. I understood my husband's pain... his behaviour was in response to me!  How I acted towards him, and because I'd lost the authentic me.

I absolutely didn't want to lose this incredible man! And ALL the potential for an incredible future.

So along with the personal development work I was doing already, I diligently practiced the advice and skills taught in this book, and the impact was CRAZY!!     
We fell back in love, MORE than ever before. 

Connection, intimacy, conversation, laughter - it all came roaring back. Plus a baby, and new house!

My husband became the affectionate doting man I always wanted (he always was!).  He does SO much now to make me happy and my life easier.  In fact, he does more for me than I do for him - which is literally the opposite of what we're taught as women?!! 

I feel loved, appreciated, and totally taken care of - and you can too.  I will show you how!


I learned that it was actually ME, and my behaviour,
that slowly pushed my husband away

For so long I thought I was the victim, but my husband was...

I’d literally broken this beautiful man's spirit  




In 2020, edging towards divorce, I discovered a relationship book that completely saved and transformed my marriage

So brilliant in fact, that I'm now a Certified Relationship Coach in this method, which has saved over 15,000 marriages!




I thought I was....

I stopped doing "everything"

I BECAME 100% RESPONSIBLE FOR MY HAPPINESS

i invested time and energy into my
mind, heart, body, and spirit

i worked on my personal development, hobbies, goals, and dreams

My entire life dramatically improved

My marriage, body, relationships,
spirituality, career,
all of it 

Life and relationship coaching changed me forever

i want this too!

Adriana is a hugely talented coach. Her warmth and positivity instills hope. She always listens carefully and without judgment. She is insightful and knowledgeable with helpful suggestions, ideas, and advice in a way that is inspiring and empowering. She’s incredible, I recommend her to any woman wanting to bring about more happiness for themselves and in their relationship.

I always look forward to my sessions with Adriana. She is consistently interested in my journey and has the most incredible gift for deep listening. She hears every word I say, as well as messages that are unsaid. She understands my view, while gently expanding it in a most natural way. With her powerful questions, I discovered the confidence to seek what I most desired in various aspects of my life. Her way of being is simply delightful.

I LOVE my coaching with Adriana! She’s incredible! She gives me so many things to ponder on. We talk about lots of things but one of them is exercising. What she shares inspires me, and guess what? I went on a hike for 2 hours today! I came back dripping with sweat and smiling from ear to ear!
