Adela has dedicated over 10 years to the application of psychology in the business world. She’s trained, coached, and consulted in companies across a wide range of industries and sectors. Over the years, she noticed a sort of glass ceiling, “an infinite loop”, which often blocks the road to better performance and satisfaction. This barrier causes a disconnection and a failure to tap into the potential, which lies in the conscious connection of our minds, bodies, and emotions. As a result she became involved in the development of the somatic coaching methods, which she now uses in her training sessions. linkedin
