About Stella Nera Coaching
Empowering your Journey to Success
Why the name?
Stella Nera, Italian for Black Star, signifies the perpetual journey towards authenticity, purpose, and happiness, while simultaneously recognizing the need and work it takes to embrace all aspects of human emotion and relationships. It's about living a story that facilitates awareness and acceptance, brings fulfillment and joy, and one that you want to repeat over and over again. It further symbolizes the need to not shy away from darker moods or emotions, rather to deepen our understanding of the needs behind them.
Why try coaching?
Professional coaching holds a transformative power. It is rooted in vulnerability, curiosity, and courage, and requires commitment to growth from both coach and client(s). It embraces the belief that the ability to fail courageously is an essential stepping stone towards reaching one's fullest potential. Whether private, team, or company-wide sessions, expect to explore, evolve, and take aligned action for lasting impact. In doing so, we will together tap into varying levels of reality and types of intelligence.
Who is it for?
Coaching is for anyone (individuals, leaders, executives, teams, and organizations alike) willing to be curious and intentional about growth and change. We don't exist in silos, but rather in the context of our relationships, shaping us both personally and professionally. Coaching is for those who are future-focused; it helps to guide you and your team or organization in shaping a clear vision of what’s possible. Coaching transforms both existing and emerging goals into actionable steps, turning aspirations into reality.
Who it is not for: There are instances where a different level of support is needed (or added). Click here for an overview on the differences between coaching, consulting, and therapy.
HOW I HELP
Individual Coaching
Unlock Your Voice.
Embrace Your Growth.
Working with a coach creates the space to hear your inner voice more clearly. Whether you're navigating transitions or seeking greater clarity, coaching helps you grow with intention, and develop the next version of yourself that is waiting to emerge.
Gain tools to communicate with confidence, build deeper connections, and take purposeful action toward the change you want. Your authenticity is your power—let’s bring it forward.
Team
Coaching
Elevate Leadership.
Transform Teams.
Leadership comes from within—but it doesn't end there. It requires awareness not only of individual voices, but also of the voice of the system itself. Systemic coaching goes beneath the surface to engage the team as a living, breathing entity—one with its own collective strengths, tensions, patterns, and untapped potential. When we work at that level, we unlock the team’s true capacity for growth, resilience, and transformation.

Workshops and Retreats
Fun Perspective.
Lasting Impact.
For both personal and professional environments, our workshops and retreats all encompass creative, hands-on ways to stay present to the full range of human emotion, and its role (and impact) in our daily lives. They can range from an hour to several days. Continuing with the belief that we are always in relationship, these events are fun and impactful, and tailored to the take-aways you want.

Consulting is offered as part of a customized package. This service differs from pure coaching and may include strategic input or project-based support—ideal for clients who retain me to work closely with their leaders and teams.
