Meet Luz

Wholistic Wellness Coach

National Board for Health & Wellness Coaching (NBC-HWC)

A Journey Through Time and Transformation

​

Hello and welcome to a space of renewal, empowerment, and discovery. My name is Luz Sierra, and I'm the heart and soul behind LightIn-Up Wellness Coaching. My story, much like yours, is one of complexity, resilience, and an unending quest for meaning and joy in the chapters of life that many dare not to read aloud.

​

Roots and Wings

Born into a vibrant, passionate family from the Dominican Republic and raised in Brooklyn, New York, I was the youngest of eleven children in the bustling, ever-evolving playground of New York City. From the very start, my life was imbued with a rich tapestry of cultures, sounds, and experiences. This lively yet demanding environment instilled in me a deep curiosity about people, their stories, and the myriad ways we seek connection and fulfillment.

​

The Quest for Expression and Service​

Guided by this curiosity, I ventured into the world of filmmaking at New York University, embracing the power of storytelling and visual expression. My years at university were not just about academic growth; they were a gateway to the world, offering opportunities to travel and teach—early steps towards fulfilling a heartfelt commitment to service and giving back.

 

Embracing the Tides of Change​​

Life, in its essence, is an unfolding story of transitions. From the vibrant corridors of NYU to the high-stakes world of corporate events, my career path was as varied as it was enriching. Yet, with time, the relentless pace and pressures of the industry began to dim the very spark that drove me. Burnout, health challenges, and a growing sense of disconnection led me to a crossroads, prompting a period of introspection and the courage to seek a new direction.

​

Rediscovery and Renewal​

At 59, standing at the precipice of change, I found solace and inspiration in the words of Julia Cameron: "It's never too late to begin again." This became my mantra as I embarked on a journey of self-discovery and holistic wellness. What started as a personal quest to reignite my own spark evolved into a passionate endeavor to guide others through their own transitions and transformations.

Today, as the founder of LightIn-Up Wellness Coaching, I stand before you not just as a coach, but as a fellow traveler on the path of life's second winds. My journey—marked by ebbs and flows, losses and joys, fears and triumphs—has taught me that it's never too late to rediscover yourself, to redefine your path, and to dare to dream anew.

​

My mission is to be a light on your path, offering support, guidance, and the wisdom gleaned from a life fully lived. Together, we can navigate the complexities of change, embrace wellness in all its forms, and step into the vibrant, fulfilling life you deserve.

My Approach

  • Partnership at Its Core: I believe coaching is a collaborative journey. Together, we'll embark on a path that's both thought-provoking and creative, aimed at unlocking your full potential.

  • You're the Expert: In our sessions, you are acknowledged as the expert of your own life. Your experiences, knowledge, and insights are invaluable. I'm here to honor that wisdom and work with you to harness it fully.

  • Active Listening and Support: My strengths lie in active listening, employing motivational interviewing, and leveraging positive psychology. This means I'm fully present with you, understanding your perspective, and supporting you in drawing upon your innate strengths.

  • No Preset Answers: I don't have all the answers—and that's intentional. Our journey is about exploring your unique narrative and possibilities, not prescribing a one-size-fits-all solution.

  • Inspiration and Self-Discovery: I aim to inspire and support you in discovering your own solutions and strategies. The goal is to empower your self-discovery, helping you to identify what truly matters to you.

  • Collaborative Strategy Development: We'll work together to develop strategies that are born from your insights and aspirations. This collaborative approach ensures that the solutions are tailored just for you, by you.

  • Accountability with Compassion: Holding you responsible and accountable is part of the process, but it's done with compassion and understanding, aiming to foster your growth and progress.

  • Facilitating Your Journey: My role is to facilitate your self-discovery and momentum. By clarifying and aligning with your goals, we pave the way for meaningful change and self-actualization.
