What’s In a Word?
Meraki is a Greek word that holds special meaning for us, new Canadians. It
means doing something with all your heart, soul, and creativity, so that a little
piece of you stays in what you create. That's exactly what we immigrants do -
we leave behind what's dear to us to chase our dreams of safety, progress, love,
health, and freedom. Despite the challenges, we press on, determined to
belong and make our mark in our new home.

I’ve Been Where
You Are At
Welcome to Meraki Coaching, where your professional and
personal growth is at the forefront of our mission. My name
is Ana-Maria Ortega, a certified Life and Career Coach
based in Alberta, Canada. As a fellow immigrant, I
understand the unique challenges that come with the
journey of starting anew in a foreign land. From the stress
of cultural adjustment, financial constraints, and weather
to professional frustration and self-doubt, I have been
there and felt the weight of it all.
However, I also know the resilience and strength that lies within us as internationally trained professionals.
