WELCOME

I’m SAL Guarino — a life coach, writer, and longtime traveler on the road of recovery and reinvention.

Two vintage photographs of people eating and playing poker, one black and white with five men playing poker at a table, and one color with two men eating pizza at a restaurant.

I help people build lives that feel lighter, more honest, and more joyful — especially those navigating addictive gambling, post-relationship transition, emotional fatigue, or the uncertainty of major midlife change.

While I’ve got a few favorite sayings — like “a joy shared is a joy doubled, a trouble shared is one halved” — you won’t find much jargon here. Just straight talk, a bit of soul, and a genuine invitation to reconnect with what matters — in your own voice, at your own pace.

I’ve worn a few hats in my life:
performance marketer, counselor, mentor,
SINATRA enthusiast.
But through it all, I’ve always been a connector — someone who sees the best in people, even when they don’t see it yet themselves.

A framed picture of Frank Sinatra's album cover "Strangers in the Night" and a group photo of children and adults at a sports event, all wearing baseball caps.

Now based in San Miguel de Allende, I work one-on-one with clients who are ready to make changes that actually last. Not overnight. Not perfectly. But honestly — and with joy.

If that sounds like you, I’d be honored to walk a stretch of the road with you.
