About Marcelo
A coach who brings both professional expertise and personal understanding to every session.
His Story
From Recovery to Purpose
I've navigated the Remission Gap twice. I built my coaching practice to help you navigate it too.
My qualification for this work isn't a certificate in oncology — it's having been the patient twice, and having done the work myself to answer the same questions you're facing now: who am I outside of "patient," what do I do with this life, what comes next.
That lived experience sits alongside real coaching training: I hold a Diploma in Transformational Coaching from the Animas Centre for Coaching, and I'm an ICF-credentialed Associate Certified Coach (ACC). But the training gave me the structure. The two remissions gave me the understanding.
Qualifications

The Approach
Personal Philosophy
I believe adversity carries within it the seeds of transformation. Not because pain is good. But because it changes what we pay attention to.
I do not rush the process. Real change takes time. It takes courage. And it takes the right support.
My sessions draw on positive psychology, strengths-based coaching, and mindfulness. I create a space where you can be honest about what you are actually going through, not what you think you should be feeling.
I do not have all the answers. I have the right questions. And together, we will find what matters most to you.
