About the Coach & Coaching

My Journey

Moving across continents taught me what it means to feel like an outsider, unseen, unheard, and out of place. At age 11, my family relocated from Taiwan to Virginia. I didn't speak a word of English. On my first day of school, I felt completely lost and too afraid to ask even where the restroom was. Years later, I found myself in a similar place, this time in Chile. Just two months after arriving, I broke my arm in a biking accident. Lying on the operating table, unable to understand the medical staff, I felt alone and terrified.

These experiences, while difficult, became my greatest teachers. They taught me resilience, and courage and showed me that growth happens outside our comfort zone. But more importantly, they taught me that the relationships we have, especially with ourselves, are what carry us through life's toughest moments.

For 17 years, I built a career in the fashion industry, working with brands like Stella McCartney and eBay UK. While leading teams, I discovered my greatest joy wasn't in the results, it was in helping others to reach their potential. When my husband's job brought us to Chile, my career came to a sudden halt. Language barriers and a foreign job market made it hard to continue on the same path. The setback turned out to be a gift, a chance to reflect and discover my purpose. As I approach my 40s, I started over and explored what truly fulfills me: helping people create more meaningful relationships. I believe relationships are the heart of a joyful life and meaningful relationships start within us, with awareness, trust, and compassion for ourselves.

My coaching blends Eastern philosophies of balance and harmony with Western values of individuality and growth, offering a culturally attuned path to deeper, healthier relationships. Outside of coaching, I find inspiration outdoors, either rock climbing or mountain biking, where I am reminded that growth happens beyond our comfort zone. Just as with relationships, they stretch and challenge us, and help us grow into the best version of ourselves.

Starting over isn't easy. But it's always possible with the right support. If you're ready to strengthen your relationship with yourself and others, let's begin! Book your free 30-minute consultation, and I'd be honored to walk alongside you.
