Who am I?

Hi, I’m Felicia.
For 15 years, I dedicated myself to humanitarian work around the globe. I thrived in stressful environments, long days, and poured everything into my work. Work life balance was for the weak. I wore external titles like UN Official, humanitarian, coordinator like armor and developed a dark sense of humor along the way. However, on the inside, I was burnt out, my nervous system was fried, and an overwhelming feeling of uselessness consumed me. 

I completed a series of coaching courses in 2021, and although I considered leaving the UN then to pursue a career in coaching, the adrenaline of being in the field and, if I’m really honest, an intense fear of failure, kept me from pursuing this goal. 

When the global funding crisis hit the humanitarian sector in 2025, I realized that no amount of waiting and hoping (or let’s be real, negative coping mechanisms) was going to make the path clear for me. I had to do the work, get my life together and move forward with a new mindset: no one was coming to save me. 

I decided to finally pursue coaching as I could combine my experience and passion for supporting others using the same empathy that had fueled my humanitarian career, but can now sprinkle in my own jaded sense of humor to enjoy some laughter along the way. 

I hired my own coach, completed over 100 hours of experiential training with the world’s leading coaching platform, the Co-Active Training Institute, and became a Co-Active Coach. 

If you can relate to any parts of my story, have also seen some things in your life, or just simply want to get to work with a coach who will make you laugh and reach your goals, let’s have a chat.
