Life is either a daring adventure or
nothing at all
I'm a Professional Life Coach with 15 years of tertiary teaching experience.
Suffering from burnout, I left academia - to recover and also to pursue my dream of moving to New Zealand with the intent of eventually building a Bed & Breakfast retreat. Things did not go the way I had planned, and I took pause to re-evaluate what truly mattered. Coaching helped me stay centered to my core values & faith, know what to let go of, and find the courage to balance all things important to me.
I have always felt drawn to hear people out, to listen to their words and what's between the lines of what they are saying. I am fascinated with what makes us different yet similar, and it makes me feel alive to discover new things about what it is to be human. I love to help people listen to themselves and to support those experiencing interpersonal conflict find common ground and a way forward.
I am a Professional Co-Active Coach (CPCC), and am both a trained mediator and CINERGY conflict management coach. I want to journey with young working professionals to discover what truly matters as they navigate important transitions and decisions in pursuit of a purposeful, fulfilled life. I also strongly believe that interpersonal conflicts should not be left unattended but productively dealt with, and hope to do my part in making the world a more peaceful place.
I still hold my dream close to heart - someday, someplace I still hope to build a retreat where people experiencing valleys or crossroads in their life can find energy and direction for their journeys. But for now, I want to explore the world, to learn from people of different cultures, to be a better version of myself, to live a fiercely courageous life, and to make a positive difference where I can.
Are you in the midst of a transition and want to navigate it more effectively, with more clarity, freedom and joy? Are you feeling stuck - not making progress with a goal you have set for yourself, not sure how to move forward or what your next step might be? Are you seeking change in how you want to live your life? Are you feeling restless in some aspect of your life and want to find out what it is all about? Are you struggling to be more effective at work or to find your unique leadership style? Are you bothered by an interpersonal conflict at work or in your personal life and want to seek resolution to the conflict?
If this sounds like you, you might want to explore 1:1 coaching.
Personalized coaching, tailored to your unique needs, is your path to self-discovery, growth, and empowerment. I'll guide you with powerful questions, active listening, and insightful challenges to your habits and mindsets. Together, we'll uncover strengths, navigate obstacles, and develop strategies for success. Gain clarity on your goals, values, priorities, and vision. Chart new paths that resonate deeply with what truly matters to you.
I believe that coaching should be a service that can be available and accessible to everyone, especially young working professionals who are early in their careers and are considering hiring a coach but are hesitant because of the high price associated with it.
A "Pay What You Can" Service Model - How Does It Work?
"Pay What You Can" allows you, the client, to pay at a rate you are capable to pay. Prior to our first session, you will receive an invoice pegged at the base rate of $50 per hour. If you can afford to and want to pay more, just write back with the hourly-rate that you would like to be billed and I will revert with an amended invoice - otherwise, just proceed with the payment according to the original invoice - no questions asked.
For clients who can afford to pay but are unsure of what amount to contribute, my published rate is between $120 - $150 per hour.
Coaching momentum builds up over time. You would sign on to coach for a minimum of 6 sessions to work on a project or a series of goals. Our initial session would be a 2-hour Discovery Session over Zoom to set a solid foundation for all future coaching. After that our coaching takes place via Zoom for 60-minute focused sessions. You choose the frequency of session depending on your needs.
If you would like to further explore if coaching is for you, we can schedule a sample session, free of charge, without any obligation, to discuss what you would like to achieve. You also get a taster of what coaching is like before determining whether you would like to work with me.
