A thoughtful, grounded partner in your transformation

About Catherine

meet your coach

I'm Catherine Borda de Castro — a psychology-informed coach grounded in Co-Active methodology, with more than 20 years of leadership and human-development experience.

My work sits at the intersection of intuition and depth — heart and structure — shaped by a long career helping people understand themselves more clearly and live with greater alignment.

About Catherine

Over the years, I've learned that many people eventually reach a moment when the life they've built still looks successful, yet something inside no longer feels fully aligned. The shift is subtle but unmistakable — a sense of internal movement that doesn't yet have language.

Lumel was created for people in this exact season.

My work explores four parts of a life — intellectual, emotional, physical, and spiritual — and helps clients notice which ones have gone quiet. I create a safe, spacious, and confidential space where emerging truths can surface without pressure or judgment, including the parts of life that are spiritual as much as emotional.

My coaching is thoughtful and deeply human — a partnership designed to help you reconnect with what's true, and move forward with clarity, self-trust, and ease.

“She listens with her whole presence — and opens doors I didn’t know were there.”

Lumel Coaching exists to help thoughtful people reconnect with what's true within them, understand what's quietly shaping their choices, and move forward with clarity, self-trust, and meaning.

The Purpose Behind Lumel

A space for the parts of you that have gone quiet to be heard again

"From the first session, I felt completely safe exploring parts of myself I usually keep guarded."

Catherine brings a rare combination of depth, intelligence, and genuine care. She listens with her whole presence — and asks questions that gently open doors I didn’t know were there. Her insight is profound, and her guidance has helped me navigate both personal and professional challenges with much greater ease. Catherine is truly a gifted coach and an extraordinary partner in growth.
