How we
will work together

This is your journey - and we’ll move at a pace that feels right for you.

I create a space that’s safe, supportive, and non-judgmental, where you can reconnect with your inner voice and explore meaningful, lasting change. My role is to guide, support, and walk alongside you with curiosity, care and connection.
My coaching is rooted in a trauma-informed approach and guided by Polyvagal Theory, based on years of learnings with Dr. Stephen Porges. This framework helps us understand how past experiences and nervous system responses shape our present-day patterns. Together, we’ll work with practical tools to support safety, regulation, and resilience.
As a certified provider of the Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP), I use this evidence-based listening intervention to support nervous system regulation. Whether you’re navigating chronic stress, anxiety, or feeling stuck, the SSP can be integrated into our work to support building resilience and nervous system regulation.

Testimonials

Marcelo has a natural gift for insight and a deep understanding of coaching through trauma. His compassionate, gentle presence created a safe space for me to process and move forward without judgment.
He brings care and clarity to every session, always respecting my pace. After each session, I’ve felt more supported, empowered, and connected to myself.

Marcelo was incredibly helpful when I was facing a big life decision. He asked the kind of thoughtful questions that helped shift my perspective and uncover a path forward that truly aligns with my values and inner compass. I’d absolutely recommend working with him if you’re looking for clarity and grounded guidance.
- Karen O.
I’ve had the pleasure of sharing space with Marcelo the past 4 months and have made so much more progress than I was in traditional therapy models. Marcelo cares, has genuine interest in what I’m saying and listens with full presence. The space he creates is safe which allows the utmost trust, ease and openness with him.

My favourite part? He genuinely loves the work he does and is on his own journey of improvement and healing. That passion and shared experience makes my time that much more enjoyable. I look forward to every session we have and feel clearer, lighter and more purposeful after each one. Thanks Marcelo! :)

Marcelo creates a deeply safe and supportive environment where you feel heard, understood, and never judged. His ability to listen with care and compassion allows you to explore difficult emotions and patterns at your own pace. I always feel guided—not pushed—toward greater clarity, healing, and self-connection. -

Marcelo has helped guide me with compassion and empathy. His intuitive and gentle curiosity have opened my eyes to a new richness in my personal family values. Thanks Marcelo!
- Steve L.
I was interested in trying the Safe and Sound Protocol to help with chronic hypervigilance and just to see what it was all about. Marcelo supported me as I moved through the protocol at my own pace and in my own way, and I feel grateful that he was the coach to take me through it. His approach and his genuine personality emit curiosity, kindness, and non-judgment. He made sure I felt resourced and in control of the listening sessions in a way that helped highlight my autonomy and choice. Experiencing the SSP with Marcelo truly made a positive impact on my nervous system, and I would recommend him to anyone!
