From Chile to Scotland and The Evolution of S.O.U.L.
Life isn’t a walk in the park. But it also doesn’t have to feel like an endless uphill climb.
I know this because I’ve lived both.
I’ve experienced life’s highest peaks and its deepest valleys. I’ve known stress, uncertainty and moments where simply getting through the day felt like an achievement. And through it all, I’ve learned something important:
Time, energy and joy are too precious to waste on systems that don’t support real life.
That belief is at the heart of everything I do today.
I’m not here to impress you with titles
I could list my credentials, qualifications and professional milestones.
But that’s not what defines me.
I’m an ordinary person who has lived an extraordinary amount of life. Someone who has learned, sometimes painfully, how to manage time, set meaningful goals, and keep moving forward without losing myself in the process.
My relationship with time management didn’t start in a boardroom. It started much earlier.

A life shaped by responsibility, resilience and love
Growing up in Chile taught me early lessons about time, responsibility and adaptability. But it was adulthood, motherhood and loss that truly shaped how I live and work today.
I built a life and became a professional and entrepreneur in a foreign country, navigating a new culture, a new system and a new sense of belonging. At the same time, I was raising three very different boys.
My eldest son lives with ODD and is on the autistic spectrum, which meant learning how to advocate, adapt and hold emotional space daily.
My middle son was full of energy, curiosity and constant activity, filling our lives with movement and noise.
And my youngest son was severely disabled, requiring intensive care, attention and presence around the clock.
Motherhood wasn’t something I fitted around my life.
It shaped every decision I made.
Caring for my children while continuing to show up professionally demanded flexibility, resilience and emotional strength that no productivity method could ever teach.
Then life asked even more of me.
I faced breast cancer and underwent six major surgeries between January 2022 and December 2023.
In 2023, I lost my youngest son.
There are no neat words for that kind of loss. It changes how you experience time, ambition and the future. You don’t move on from it. You learn how to live differently around it.
In 2025, I also lost my cat, who had been a constant, quiet companion through illness, recovery and heartbreak. If you’ve ever loved an animal deeply, you’ll understand how much comfort they offer simply by being there.
These experiences didn’t make me fragile.
They made me deeply honest about what matters.
They stripped life and productivity back to their essence and led me to ask a different question:
What does a life well lived actually look like now?
That question didn’t leave me.
It became the starting point for how I now live, work, and support others.
Where everything came together
This is the life that shaped the work I do today.
After everything I had lived through, I walked the Camino de Santiago.
Not to escape my life, but to listen to it.
Walking day after day gave me the space to think clearly again. I met women who had taken time away hoping to rest, only to return more exhausted than before. They had outsourced the logistics, but not the pressure.
That journey made something very clear to me:
People don’t just need better systems.
They need space, clarity, and support that honours their real lives.
That’s when the S.O.U.L. System fully took shape.
S.O.U.L. is a simple, human framework I use across my work in joyful productivity, time efficiency and intentional experiences:
Simplify what’s weighing you down
Organise your time in a way that works in real life
Understand your habits, energy and needs
Leverage support so you don’t carry everything alone
I work with people who are capable, caring and often carrying far more than they let on. People who want to feel successful and well. People who are ready for a more meaningful way forward.
If that sounds like you, you’re very welcome here.
You don’t have to do life alone.
