About · A Life Redesign

I’m Carolina Herrera. I’m a women’s coach, guide and mentor. I have lived in Asia since 2009, and I’m based in Bangkok with my husband and our two kids.

I love creating resources and experiences that help us move through change in a way that feels authentic and meaningful. I do it because it’s what I needed myself.

Change has been a constant in my life. Just as I hit my teens, I moved from Colombia to London: a new country, a new language, a new culture, new people. Just as I began motherhood, I moved from London to Singapore. A year after my second baby was born, we moved to Bangkok.

Each move meant thinking hard about identity, and deliberately choosing who I wanted to be and how I wanted to show up in that new place and season of my life.

Learning to move through those changes in a way that served me is what led me to spend the last decade researching change and identity. It’s how I came to create Take Time to BE YOU, my boutique life coaching practice, and then A Life Redesign.

Somewhere along the way, I also learnt to trust and follow my curiosity, and to be intentional about how I lived in each new place, so that my time there felt meaningful. Then I discovered the joy of sharing what I was learning. That’s why I built this platform, and why I’m inviting you in.

A Life Redesign, with its tools, its practitioners and its events, is here to support you as you move through change and reclaim your identity. The platform started in Bangkok, and although most of the events are here, the self-guided tools and the directory go with you wherever you move. You are not alone, and you can take us with you wherever you go.

If you want more focused, personal work, you can reach me at Take Time to BE YOU.

Ceremony and ritual

For the past year I have been studying ritual and ceremony. I’ve been sitting in women’s circles and studying Latin American indigenous and ancestral traditions. They have connected me to my Colombian roots and brought me closer to nature. They remind me that we are not separate from it. We are nature too.

In my ceremony and ritual facilitation training, my teacher, Megan Sheldon, often says that ritual and ceremony have always been part of human life, in every culture, and that it belongs to everyone, whatever they believe. This is something I love, and I now carry it into my work.

Many of us have forgotten to honour what was and welcome what’s next, and that’s why change can feel so hard. And through this work I am learning how ritual can help with that.

Ritual can help when we move to a new country, change jobs, have a baby or start a new relationship. It gives us a moment to acknowledge what’s ending and set an intention for what’s next. That is why many of our upcoming events will include ritual and ceremony.

Come and be part of A Life Redesign.

The events are where it comes alive, a room of women who understand the change you are moving through.
