About Renaldo

I’m a life coach, former chef, and new father who helps people recover from burnout, trauma, low self-esteem, low self-worth, and midlife transitions — and also those who want more out of life and for themselves. After 20+ years in the high-stress restaurant industry, I’ve seen what exhaustion, self-doubt, and emotional pain can do — and I’ve lived it myself. I’ve also seen how addiction pulls people apart mentally, emotionally, and spiritually — often long before they realize it’s happening.

My life could be a miniseries. I grew up with experiences that left deep emotional scars and taught me to question my worth. For years, I hid myself in my work, pouring energy into the restaurant industry to escape the pain and uncertainty I carried inside. Those early wounds led to patterns of unhealthy relationships and self-doubt that took years to understand and untangle. Through that process, I discovered that healing isn’t about erasing the past — it’s about realizing that your past doesn’t define your worth, and that you deserve healing, self-respect, and a fresh start.

Becoming a father after eight years of failed IVF taught me about patience, heartbreak, and the quiet resilience it takes to keep believing when hope feels distant. That journey, like so many others, shaped the foundation of The Rebuild Project — a coaching practice built on honesty, compassion, and the belief that it’s never too late to start again.

I work with clients navigating the aftermath of trauma, loss, or long-standing self-doubt, as well as those who feel a quiet pull toward something more. Together, we uncover what holds them back and illuminate the strength, clarity, and vision they already carry — helping them step into a life that feels meaningful, expansive, and fully their own. My approach is trauma-informed, practical, and grounded in real life — no fluff, no false promises, just real conversations that help you rediscover your confidence, boundaries, and inner strength.

I’m drawn to people who struggle quietly, holding everything together on the outside while battling doubt or fatigue inside. If you’re ready to stop surviving and start rebuilding with purpose, The Rebuild Project is where we begin — side by side, with honesty, compassion, and no judgment
