Life & Self-Leadership Coaching · Zurich
Design a life that feels like yours.
Move from living by default to conscious self-leadership. For people whose life looks good on paper, but no longer feels fully aligned within.
Life By Design is not about becoming someone new. It is about reconnecting with who you were before you learned who you were supposed to be.
Nathalie Rill is a Zurich-based Life & Self-Leadership Coach helping people move from autopilot, people-pleasing and emotional reaction into clarity, self-trust and conscious choice.
On paper, life looks good.
You have built the career, the relationships, the routines, the life you thought would make you happy. And still, something inside you asks:
Is this it?
You may not be in crisis. But you are no longer willing to live on autopilot, ignore your own needs, or keep making decisions from fear, pressure or expectation.
You don't need another goal.
You need a different relationship with yourself.
A fulfilling life is not created by chasing the next achievement. It is created by learning to listen to yourself, understand what drives you, and make choices that reflect who you truly are.
- What do I actually want?
- What matters most to me?
- Am I living according to my values?
- Am I making decisions from fear or self-trust?
- What would change if I stopped abandoning myself?
The Life By Design Method
Self-leadership is not a personality trait. It is a practice — a simple but powerful five-step cycle.

Notice what is really going on beneath the surface.
Fear closes. Love opens.
At the heart of my work is the belief that there are two ways of relating to life: either through fear or through love.
Fear looks for what is wrong, what is missing, what needs to change before you can be okay. It creates protection, judgement, control and separation.
The work is not to eliminate fear. The work is to recognise it and choose from a different place. This is not about toxic positivity. It is about learning to see clearly enough to respond differently.

No fixing - ACCEPT
Accept reality without abandoning yourself.
Learn to have your own back as you navigate the messiness of life.
No judgement - ALIGN
Align your thoughts, values, actions, and decisions.
When your inner world and outer world work together, life flows with greater ease.
No pressure to have it figured out - LIVE
Take courageous action.
Design a life that reflects who you are - not who you think you should be.
Here, growth begins with awareness - not self-judgement. You will be invited to slow down, get honest with yourself, and look at your life with more compassion and clarity.
Not to blame yourself. Not to force change. But to understand what is here, work with reality, and choose your next step from a more conscious place.

Join the WaitlistMy Philosophy
I believe that the answers you are looking for are already within you.
You don't need fixing. You don't need to become someone else. You need the space, support, and courage to reconnect with who you truly are beneath the expectations, fears, and conditioning that have shaped your choices for years.
Many of us live according to what we think we should do rather than what genuinely feels right. We follow rules we never consciously chose, seek approval from others, and allow fear to make decisions on our behalf. Over time, we lose connection with ourselves and the life we truly want to live.
My work is about helping you return to yourself.
Together, we uncover what matters most to you, strengthen your relationship with yourself, and build the confidence to trust your own inner guidance. Rather than focusing on what is outside your control, we focus on what is within it: your thoughts, beliefs, actions, and the meaning you give to your experiences.
I believe self-leadership begins with self-awareness and grows through self-trust.
When you learn to listen to yourself, honour your values, and take responsibility for your choices, you stop living by default and start living by design.
A fulfilling life isn't created by following someone else's blueprint. It's created by understanding who you are, what you value, and having the courage to align your life with that truth.
My role is not to tell you who to become.
My role is to help you remember who you are, trust yourself more deeply, and create a life that feels like yours.
Your life is already being designed
The question is: are you shaping it consciously? If something in you recognises itself here, start with a conversation. You do not need to have it all figured out before you arrive.
