Hello, I'm Catarina Coelho!
Welcome to my website!
In my work, I support and guide life change processes with awareness and purpose, in order to promote a life that is more aligned with your true potential and that brings you balance, health, and well-being.
C-INSIDE (see inside) was born from my desire to create a brand that promotes well-being, based on the premise that we already have everything we need to be successful within ourselves, and that the path forward involves learning to access our talents and embrace our unique qualities in a structured way.
I was born in Lisbon and I have Portuguese and Indian ancestry. I grew up travelling the world and I have already lived in Portugal, Belgium, and France. Although I do not have Brazilian family, Brazil is my second home.
I've always been a very observant person. As a child, I loved being with animals, eating, cooking, traveling, and doing artistic work. I always enjoyed new experiences, but I remember silently absorbing everything around me because for a long time I couldn't fully understand people's behavior and how they dealt with their emotions. Consequently, as I grew up, I started to develop only my rational side and left behind everything artistic, intuitive, and emotional.
My academic path was focused on the scientific field - I chose to study Chemical Engineering as it was the course I liked the most within the options I had at the time. As I was about to finish my degree, I promised myself I would never study again, as I thought it would be a sacrifice I wouldn't want to repeat. I then started my career working in consulting and business development. Fortunately, a few years later I realised the issue was not studying itself, but what I was studying. My logical mind enjoyed problem-solving, but I lacked purpose in what I was learning and doing. I regained the desire to study when I discovered astrology and realised it was a tool that allowed me to deeply understand human behaviour — it was the missing piece of my puzzle. At that point, a Pandora’s box opened inside me, and I realised I wanted to learn more about myself and the dynamics I had experienced throughout my life. I studied extensively, completed portuguese and international certifications, and learned everything I could about trauma, emotional wounds, and personal development in the free time I had. Over time, I realised I would probably never stop studying — the truth is I simply enjoy continuous learning.
As I began applying the things I studied to my daily life and my own life started changing, I realized that I could also help people around me by sharing the knowledge I had acquired. I started offering chart readings sessions outside of working hours and giving talks and courses for those who were curious to learn more about the topics I connected with. Everything happened organically, somewhat unexpectedly, and alongside the work I was already doing.
After a few years in this rhythm, I decided it was time to change my life, even though the path I wanted to follow was not yet entirely clear. I left my corporate job and chose to take a few months to reflect. From this pause, many ideas and moments of clarity emerged. One of the main realisations was that I wanted to use my experience and knowledge to help others live healthier lives that are more aligned with their abilities. Over the course of my journey, I came into contact with many different types of people and began to notice that, regardless of background, we all struggle to take the necessary steps to live a life that is truly aligned with what brings us joy. I also learned that our physical health is deeply connected to our emotional well-being, and that it is essential to understand our limits and deepest needs.
As a result, I developed my own methodology to support clients in their processes of change and self-discovery, using an approach that works on four levels — physical, mental, emotional, and subconscious. To do so, I draw on the various tools I have learned over the years, which have also greatly supported my own personal development journey. Each support plan is designed and structured in a fully personalised way, according to the individual’s goals and the life stage they are in.
Talks and workshops on Well-being, Talent, and Purpose emerged as a complement to individual support sessions, after I realised that the years I spent working in large companies had given me valuable know-how in stress management and emotional self-regulation in the corporate environment. This work is intended for companies that seek to promote a healthier work environment and more balanced, sustainable team performance.
