Meet Irene

I am a Professional Coach and Health Professions Educationalist based in Winterthur, Switzerland.

Born in Madrid, I have built a diverse professional career: from freelance translator to the world of international relations at the United Nations, to continuous medical education and coaching.

I mainly work with individuals in their 30s and mid 40s - the Millennial generation - to help them overcome our unique generational challenges, build confidence, and connect with their strengths to achieve their goals.

I also help organizations bridge the gap between cultures and generations, to create a strong, inclusive culture and build better teams.

My coaching philosophy revolves around deep listening, compassion, creativity, and curiosity. Having lived in four countries and fluent in five languages, I bring a unique intercultural perspective to my practice.

Outside of work, I am a busy mom of two wonderful little girls, a life-long learner and a creative handcrafter and explorer, passionate about discovering hidden treasures in nature with my family.
