About Cindy Arevalo
I've lived the decisions I help you take.
Not all of them — but the big turning points, yes. That's why I can sit beside you without flinching when yours arrive.
How I got here
I was a civil engineer for 15+ years — across private-sector consulting, public-sector, and para-municipal work. Infrastructure projects, teams, budgets, accountability. I loved the work. And I watched something else take shape in parallel — conversations with women stuck at a crossroads, women building businesses, women pivoting. Over time, what wasn't my job became my job. I didn't leave engineering because I'd stopped loving it. I left because the other side had more weight.
Three turning points
Post-partum depression in 2020. Stepping out of 15+ years of engineering into coaching in 2022–2023. Moving from Montréal to Florida in 2024 with two young daughters. I don't name these as decoration — I name them because they're the reason I can hold yours with real steadiness and care. I know the shape of these moments from the inside.
What I've trained in
ICF-trained coach (PCC track, Canada Coach Academy). NLP certified levels 1 and 2 (CQPNL). Reiki Master. Ongoing work in applied neuroscience, somatic tools, and the psychology of high-performing women. I built this mix on purpose — so I can hold both ambition and self-compassion with you, and help you turn them into real action.
I invest too
Alongside coaching, I'm an active real estate investor with my husband Jeff — several hundred doors in multifamily, across Canada and the U.S. I mention it here for one reason: when we talk about wealth, business, or leadership in our sessions, I'm not theorizing. I know the weight of those decisions from my own. (I'm not a financial advisor, though, and I don't recommend instruments.)
Where I'm not the right fit
- Not a therapist — if you're working through clinical pathology, therapy is the right place, not here.
- Not a business mentor — I won't tell you what to sell or how to build your offer.
- Not a financial advisor — I don't recommend investments or allocations.
- Not a performance or burnout coach — different craft, different goals.
How I work
I coach a maximum of 20 women 1:1 at any time. That's what the work demands. Coaching at this level asks for full attention — to the person in front of me, to the patterns across our sessions, to what's shifting and what's holding. I'd rather say no to someone I can't serve properly than stretch thin. I choose each client personally — the Clarity Session is how I see whether there's a real fit before we start.
Where I live, who I work with
Based in Boca Raton, South Florida. Two daughters. Married to Jeff — life partner, ops lead of the business, co-investor in real estate. I coach in English, French, and Spanish, serving women across North America, francophone Europe, and Latin America. 1:1 coaching is always virtual (Zoom + Voxer). Florida Retreats are a separate track — in-person, four days, monolingual cohorts (fall and spring).
If this resonates
The way into 1:1 work with me is a Clarity Session — 90 full minutes together, $450 USD. Real coaching, not a sales call. A written Mapping lands in your inbox within 48 hours, and the $450 is credited if you decide to continue into a program within 14 days.
