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
They define how I coach today. Post-partum depression in 2020 taught me that ambition and self-compassion are not opposites, they are complements. Leaving 15+ years of civil engineering for coaching in 2022-2023 taught me that the work you cannot stop doing is the work you should be doing. Relocating Montréal to Florida in 2024 with two young daughters taught me that big chapters require their own scaffolding.
What I've trained in
ICF-trained coach (PCC track, Canada Coach Academy). NLP certified levels 1 and 2 (CQPNL). 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.
