Small steps, big change

Growth doesn’t always start with answers. Sometimes it begins with a question, a change in perspective, or trying something you never thought could work.

Coach:

I’m Santiago, originally from Colombia and now based in the Netherlands. Having lived and worked across Australia, Norway, and The Netherlands, I’ve learned to adapt to different cultures and enjoy the journey of change. With a background in corporate strategy within the offshore energy industry, I’ve also walked a personal path of self-discovery embracing my identity, my sexuality, and building my family along the way. 
These experiences taught me the power of authenticity and resilience. My ability to help people find alternatives in their challenges, and seeing how motivation can transform lives, inspired me to create Alto Lab Coaching, a space where I bring my experience to help you find clarity, purpose, and the courage to take your next step.

“Alto”, from the Spanish word high, reflects both elevation and perspective inspired by the mountains of Colombia, where every climb offers a new way to see the world.

If this story resonates with you and you’re looking for support in what you’re going through, I’d be happy to walk that path with you. Reach out, your next step could start here.
