I’m Irene Parrilla, a Certified Life & Health Coach. I was born in Valencia, Spain, and I’ve always carried a simple question with me: what truly makes me happy at this stage of life?
 

That mindset gave me the courage to change — my mind, my job, my relationships, my path. It also sparked my curiosity to explore the world, which led me to live in Ireland and Australia, before arriving in Canada. I had no expectations of staying, yet something shifted the moment I landed. I felt an instant connection, and since 2018, Vancouver has been my home.

For years, I believed that following all the right steps — a stable career, relationships, success — would automatically bring fulfillment. But after finishing university and starting my first job, I noticed how many people — even the young ones — were simply waiting for the week to end, living only for weekends or holidays.
 

I thought: “Oh no, I don’t want to live like that. There must be another way.”

That realization, along with years of personal growth, inspired me to transform my own life and eventually become certified as a Life & Health Coach in 2023.
 

My philosophy is simple: you don’t need to be “fixed” — you need space to truly get to know yourself. I believe in small, consistent actions, nervous system awareness, and creating habits that support who you really are  — not who society expects you to be. Coaching with me is not about perfectionism; it’s about freedom, compassion, and sustainable change.
