Hi, I’m Ibelz, and I’m passionate about helping individuals unlock their potential, achieve their goals, and lead fulfilling lives. With over 10 years of experience in human services and leadership, I’ve dedicated my career to guiding others through personal and professional transformation.

I hold a Master’s in Organizational Leadership, which has equipped me with the tools to understand the dynamics of leadership, team development, and strategic planning. My background in human services has allowed me to work with diverse populations, providing support, coaching, and guidance to help people navigate challenges and create positive changes in their lives.

In my leadership role, I’ve had the privilege of leading a team—working to develop and empower them to grow both personally and professionally. I believe that strong leadership is about fostering growth, building confidence, and creating an environment where individuals can thrive and reach their full potential.

In addition to my leadership experience, I am also a Certified L1 CrossFit Coach, trained under CrossFit’s tenets of fitness. I believe that physical wellness is deeply connected to mental and emotional well-being, and I bring this holistic approach to my coaching. Whether in the gym or in a coaching session, my goal is to help individuals build strength, resilience, and confidence in every area of their life.

Through my work, I strive to empower others to take charge of their health, mindset, and future. Let’s work together to create lasting change and help you become the best version of yourself.

What Drew Me to Life Coaching

A Journey of Self-Improvement

From an early age, I have always sought to be better. As a perfectionist and overachiever, the fear of failure propelled me to excel in areas where I was naturally talented. This relentless pursuit of excellence not only shaped my personal and professional life but also ignited a deeper passion for helping others achieve their fullest potential.

Admiration for Coaches

I have always admired coaches, particularly fitness coaches. Initially, I viewed them as mere fitness instructors, but over time, I began to recognize the profound impact they had beyond physical training. They provided unwavering encouragement, demonstrated deep knowledge, and inspired awe with their expertise. The way they commanded their understanding and supported their clients was nothing short of inspiring.

The Desire to Empower Others

Witnessing the transformative power of a good coach ignited a desire within me to offer the same support to others. I wanted to create that empowering feeling for individuals, helping the mover come obstacles and achieve their goals. This aspiration led me to pursue a career in coaching, transitioning from a fitness coach to a life coach.

Overcoming Early Challenges

My journey into coaching was not without its challenges. As a fitness coach, the initial phase was tough, and there were moments when I almost quit. However, a mentor at the gym took me under their wing, providing guidance and support that allowed me to flourish. Through their mentorship, I discovered a methodology that resonated with my vision of coaching, reinforcing my commitment to this path.

Embracing a Proven Methodology

The methodology my mentor utilized was something I had always wanted to learn and implement. It emphasized not just achieving physical goals but also fostering mental and emotional well-being. This holistic approach aligned perfectly with my belief that true coaching goes beyond surface-level achievements, delving into the deeper aspects of personal growthand fulfillment.

The ABCs of Life Coaching

This methodology encourages continuous growth and helps clients move

from awareness to lasting, positive change in their lives.

A - Awareness

Self-awareness is the foundation of my coaching philosophy. This stage focuses on helping clients recognize their thoughts, emotions, beliefs, and behaviors. By becoming aware of these patterns, individuals can start identifying areas for improvement and growth. I emphasizes the importance of reflection and mindfulness to understand one self fully before making any significant changes.

B - Beliefs

The Beliefs stage involves examining and challenging limiting beliefs that hold clients back from achieving their full potential. I believes that many of the obstacles people face are rooted in self-doubt, fear, or negative beliefs formed over time. Coaches help clients reframe these beliefs, creating empowering narratives that align with their goals and values. This shift is critical in building confidence and resilience.

C - Commitment

The Commitment phase is all about action. After gaining awareness and identifying beliefs that need change, clients are encouraged to make a commitment to themselves and their goals. This involves setting clear, actionable steps toward achieving those goals, as well as building habits that support long-term success. Coaches work with clients to ensure they remain accountable, stay consistent, and navigate challenges along the way.
