My Story
​
The professional
As an Occupational Therapist with a Psychology undergrad, I have been afforded opportunities to connect with people at various level in their most vulnerable needs the last 20 years. I enjoy the challenge of analyzing the barriers a person faces to live meaningfully and engage fully. I especially relate to the wholistic approach that values physical, mental and spiritual wellbeing, while considering cultural and environmental influences.
My passion has been in brain science and the power of the mind to change, adapt and transform one's destiny.
I sought my Life Coach certification and launched my business as a side hustle, opening doors to guide all who are willing, claim their best self and their life goals!

Personally
Raised in Malaysia as a Buddhist and Hindu of ethnic Chinese mother and ethnic Sri Lankan father, in a fundamentally Islamic state, I made the decision to be a Christian at age 13. So yes, I am culturally aware, socially diverse, and respectfully sensitive to different perspectives.
The bravest thing I ever did was leave my home country, family and friends, to marry my sweetheart whom I met during my AFS high school year in America. Since then, managing our home and raising our 3 children in the Midwest have kept us active and busy.
​
I grew up with the love of travelling planted deep within my soul, and I thank my late father for that. His 6 children were never without a passport so that at every opportunity, , we went places. In his last years, many people were inspired by the true essence of "bucket list" from Dad's determination to accomplish his! My sense of adventure, curiosity, compassion and deep reflection stem from having seen the world in its many colors.

Deeper
I have survived significant relationship losses through tragedy, illnesses, betrayal, and various pivotal life events, which led to building my resilience and faith. I am open to share details in our conversations, do feel free to ask.
I believe healing takes various forms, and everyone's journey looks different. Mine is made up of very small but significant goals; many 1 degree changes; millions of tiny intentional efforts; mindful action steps, and the strong desire to live wholeheartedly, grounded and well-balanced.
Your goals will be uniquely yours. I will use my personal experiences as well as my professional expertise to help you breakthrough the barriers that is holding you back.
