Dr. Olga-Lucia Gamboa Arana is a cognitive neuroscientist, psychotherapist, life coach and mindfulness and self-compassion teacher who uses a combination of science and practicality to help people boost their self-esteem, confidence and self-compassion. She loves to support people’s psychological and general wellbeing by helping them to make positive changes in their mental and behavioural patterns using tools and strategies from state-of-the-art research findings. Using her knowledge in neuroscience, third generation CBT methods and mindfulness, Olga-Lucia helps her clients to create a new path by trying different life experiments and finding the right tools and techniques unique to them. She loves witnessing the “aha” moment of someone’s life-changing experience when they find peace and truth. Initially working as a physicist, Olga-Lucia has always been interested in understanding human emotions and their consequences. Fascinated by how the laws of physics and the laws of the human mind and heart are so different, Olga-Lucia started learning more about psychology and the mind, conducting experiments and helping herself heal in the process. Olga-Lucia holds a PhD in Neuroscience, and a Master’s degree in Psychopathology, Clinical Intervention and Health. She studies psychology and has specializations in emotional education and stress management. Olga-Lucia is also a life coach and a teacher of mindfulness and self-compassion (MSC) and mindful eating (MB-EAT program). Olga-Lucia looks forward to sharing practical tools and strategies to help you achieve a meaningful, enjoyable and healthy life. Read more

She has helped me remember my gold, and to live in accordance with my values and connect them to all areas of life. For me this has been radical - as it’s never occurred to me that this is actually possible in a world with a multitude of distractions and demands. She is incredibly attentive, compassionate, and knowledgeable. She has an entire treasure trove of knowledge and wisdom to share, and draws from a range of disciplines from neuroscience to self esteem and mindfulness. Her presence is grounding and earnest, and she has the ability to cut through anything superfluous, and to hear what is most important to work on from her client. She has helped me decrease anxiety, increase compassion and acceptance, clarify my values, and carve a path that is in alignment with my core values and corresponding vision and goals. She shares information in a way that is resonant and applicable. Be prepared for her to keep you accountable!! Through and through Lucia’s coaching is attuned, thorough, organized, and transformative. That has been my experience, and I recommend her to anyone wanting to feel more connected to their authentic selves, empowered with knowledge, and in alignment with their deepest aspirations.
