We met in the professional coaching course and stayed together, in a partnership that led us to move towards a brand: coaching-pt.
The project was born from a long work between peers and a joint reflection: that it is important to move forward with professional ethics and rigor and, always, in partnership with our customers.

Maria João Martins

From an early age, I fell in love with personal development, it became a way of life. I develop technical skills and capabilities in a structured way with the aim of doing everything well.

I added new ways of thinking with more freedom, vulnerability, and empathy. I was born on one continent and I live in another, ways of looking at life with joy, curiosity and different paths. Always believing that tomorrow is a new day, a fresher look, a renewed path.

Adding meditation was a step, to connect with my inner self, with my strengths and weaknesses, gain stimulation, reposition objectivity, separate the essential from the accessory, calm the mind, calm the body, calm the whole in a world of infinite possibilities. Discovering new paths is a life mission.

Paula Gonçalves Pereira

Like the world, I too am constantly on the move. I challenge myself and adapt. 

I started challenging myself early. Shows for parents at primary school, end-of-year ballet performances, national volleyball championships, studying abroad. With consistency and commitment, I developed challenging professional activities: theatre and television actress, television journalist, communication consultant, businesswoman, coach, facilitator. 

What do they have in common? Communication. Sharing. Attention to the other. And I'm still looking for innovation. In coaching, my focus is on coaching outdoors and walking coaching - modalities that are adaptable and adjusted to current needs.

Versatility. Diversity. Empathy. Tenacity. These are the characteristics that best define me.

Next challenge: organic farming.
