About

I’m Rebecca Carmen Zapf — coach, consultant, and founder of Con Cariño Coaching and Conscious Consulting. My work lives where modern work meets the inner life: technology, leadership, wellbeing, and the deeper human questions that appear when life speeds up. For 15+ years, I worked in international environments at Google, Siemens, and Capgemini Invent—leading cross-functional teams and supporting organizations through transformation. I’ve witnessed both sides of change: the external reality of performance, and the internal reality of nervous systems, identity, and meaning. I loved the energy of building, scaling, and driving transformation. And over time, I became just as interested in the inner side of change: what happens in people when pressure rises, identity shifts, and the pace never slows down. That curiosity became my path.

Why I do this work
AI is not the only reason people struggle—but it is a powerful trigger. It accelerates the world and amplifies what many already feel: overwhelm, distraction, disconnection, and constant self-management. An massive layoffs that leave people in the middle of the life and forced to start agin. We speak more than ever about mental health and healing—yet burnout and loneliness keep rising. And increasingly, people turn to AI not just for productivity, but for emotional orientation: “What’s wrong with me?” “How do I heal?” “What should I do with my relationship?” “Who am I becoming?” Underneath are timeless questions: purpose, identity, belonging, trust, and love. I do this work because insight is not enough. Real change requires trained awareness—metacognition and embodiment: learning to notice what the mind is doing, what the body is carrying, and how to respond with choice rather than reactivity. Meditation and embodiment are practical foundations for that. I keep returning to this path myself through daily practice, frequent self exploration and Vipassana retreats—and I bring the same grounded approach into my work with individuals and organizations.

How I support

For Individuals — Con Cariño Coaching
Through Con Cariño Coaching, I work with individuals who are navigating identity shifts, relationship patterns, meaning questions, life transitions and want to approach this with legal psychedelic experiences. My focus is on education, preparation, integration and grounded decision-making — especially for people who want to explore altered states responsibly while staying connected to real life, relationships and professional responsibilities.

For Organizations — Conscious Consulting
For HR/L&D, CHROs, and transformation leads I do formats e.g workshops to create resilient, attractive workplaces in the age of AI.

Values

Con Cariño means “with care,” shaped by my German-Venezuelan roots. I work with Courage, Clarity, Compassion and Expanded Consciousness—and with a clear intention: change can be deep without being harsh. It can be grounded, honest, and life-giving.

If you feel called to build more capacity—personally or professionally—I’d love to connect.

“Working philosophy: presence is a skill. Resilience is a practice. Leadership—personal and professional—starts in the nervous system.

Meditation and embodiment is a profound way to return to inner freedom.”
