LUCIA FONTAINA-POWELL

work that wears you down

stress that consumes you

relationships that drain you

shelving your dreams

hiding your talents

and keeping yourself small.

1:1 coaching for recovering high achievers, creatives and independent spirits

DISSATISFIED with your life and career path?
Even though you’ve worked hard and think you should feel happy where you are

1/5

STRESSED OR BURNT OUT FROM WORK?

Toxic environments and tricky people are taking their toll

2/5

Procrastinating around a creative practice or passion project?
Writing, painting, a business idea…there just never seems to be enough time

3/5

Cringing at the thought of sharing your work?

4/5

Hitting publish fills you with dread, self-promotion gives you the ick
Still waiting for the handbook to life that everyone else seems to have?

You never got that invite to Hogwarts either…

5/5

Lemme guess — you’re feeling professionally, creatively or maybe downright existentially frustrated.

Quarter, mid or anytime-of-life crises—they’re all welcome here.

Sound Familiar?

You’re only human.

Each of us is a complex little ecosystem of pesky thoughts, unproductive patterns and unhelpful beliefs. On top of that, we live in a big, baffling world that’s constantly feeding us BS about what it means to be happy and successful.

That’s why, so often, high achievers fall flat. 
Our sensitive inner artists lose their nerve.
And your spirit feels unfulfilled.

Believe me, I get it.



I’m Lucia

A few years ago, I was burnt out from a career in startup marketing and disillusioned with the “success” I thought I wanted. On top of that, my love life was a shambles. Coaching helped me to reclaim my creative energy, leave dysfunctional environments and relationships behind, and lead a life that truly aligns with my values, purpose, strengths and (diverse!) interests.

So, WTF is Coaching?

In an industry where anyone can call themselves a coach, scepticism is healthy. But I’m passionate about giving coaching a better rep.

You’ve probably heard of THERAPY, which helps you understand the past, process trauma and care for your mental health. And MENTORING, which teaches you how to follow in someone’s exact footsteps.

But here’s the thing: it’s not always necessary (or helpful) to look back or copy someone else. 

Everyone can benefit from coaching—including you

If you need to address present challenges, work out what you want, and move forwards, coaching is for you.

Navigating life transitions 

Clarify your values, strengths and purpose
Find a new direction
Reconfigure your definition of success

STAYING ON TRACK

Maintain energy and focus
Get a fresh perspective
Planning and accountability

Ongoing emotional maintenance 

Grow your self-awareness
Learn about relationship dynamics
Expand your emotional intelligence

There’s always more to learn about life—and yourself. 

I work with clients on anything that helps them get more from life—whether it’s figuring out their next career move, flying solo as a freelancer, starting a Substack, or simply getting to know themselves better.

What it's like to work with me

“Lucia would somehow manage to take all my messy thoughts and worries and help me sort through everything and create a clear path for me to action in both my professional and personal life.”

LINDSEY

“It's provided me with far more mental clarity and productivity than I thought possible.”

ANONYMOUS

“She brings quiet, understated, laser-like insight—a guide to lead you through your thoughts, feelings and confusion. Plus a signpost to the right resource for every occasion. The Notion hub is such a bonus to be able to revisit my thoughts and all the different resources which have helped me.” 

-

ANONYMOUS

“I was going through a hugely challenging time in my business and financial life, with a somewhat forced transition to new employment. Talking with Lucia over a period of time has helped me to get more clarity on the things that are really important to me (as opposed to those I perhaps feel should be important to me) and a different perspective on professional goals.”
