Hi, my name is Alessia

Hello and welcome – I’m so glad you’ve made it here. Thank you for taking the time to connect.

Five years ago, I created Grow Through Coaching, born out of a deeply transformative journey where my values, talents, passions, and interests came into alignment.

Having gone headfirst through many challenging life and career transitions, I’ve come to believe – and continually validate – that life is a classroom where I see myself as ‘an eternal student”. It offers opportunities to live, experience, learn, grow, and evolve. With every transition, I’ve discovered that each season has its own purpose and we hold the power to move with grace from the “fall” of what no longer serves us, into the “spring” of new beginnings.

For more than a decade, I’ve been committed wholeheartedly to personal development. The challenges I faced became unexpected teachers, helping me grow resilience, courage, and determination – and guiding me to always search for the light, even in very difficult times. I learned that everything we experience shapes us into a more authentic version of ourselves. Truly, we grow through what we go through.

My passion for transitions stems from living through many of them myself:

• Moving from Italy to Holland in my early 20s.
• Becoming a parent in my late 30s.
• Changing my career path at 40 — while pregnant with my second daughter and during a pandemic.
• Supporting my eldest daughter through illness in the early years of my business.
• Navigating the pain of a difficult breakup.

All these transitions shook me deep to the core, in one way or another.  Some of them were extremely challenging moments in my life.

And yet, each one helped me face fears, let go of limiting beliefs and conditioning, and move closer to my truth. They challenged me to quiet my inner critic and slowly guided me back “home” to myself.

The more I worked through my own transitions, the clearer it became that I am called to walk alongside others in theirs. Because we were never meant to do it all alone.

One of my most pivotal transitions was a career shift in my late 30s. Leaving behind a secure corporate path – where I was even invited to become a partner – was both terrifying and liberating. I longed for independence, alignment, but the weight of expectations, social conditioning, and financial obligations was heavy. Saying “no” to the safety of that path was not easy – but it was the most life-affirming “yes” to myself. Taking such a leap, which for a class A student like me felt at first scary and unsafe. Shifting the ‘good girl’ conditioning was key.

Through that leap, I learned what no classroom had ever taught me: self-compassion, the daily practice of courage, flexibility, adaptability, and trust in the unknown. I discovered how to celebrate small steps, to reframe success at every stage, and to replace perfectionism with self-acceptance.

I now see each transition as a profoundly creative process – an invitation to realign and to create anew.

In my work as both a coach and recruiter, I am wholeheartedly committed to supporting individuals and companies as they navigate cycles of change, build authentic teams, and co-create meaningful new beginnings.

It is my greatest honor to stand alongside you in your becoming, and to be a partner in your growth.
