Gallup Certified Strengths Coach
CliftonStrengths Coach Washington DC Paula Castillo

Coaching grounded in presence

As a Gallup-Certified CliftonStrengths® Coach, somatic practitioner, and former economist, I create spaces where the individual can unlock their full potential as insight meets embodiment. I offer:

→ Coaching for individuals navigating career transitions or personal growth
→ Leadership coaching to deepen impact and build sustainable success
→ Team and organizational coaching to foster strengths-based cultures
→ Breathwork and somatic practices to support nervous system regulation and inner clarity

My approach is intuitive, evidence-based, and deeply human.

I managed to change perspective on issues that I had been struggling for years if not for decades,

and as I changed my perspective, miracles happened.
