I love to share my belief that life is full of abundance.

My passion is to find potentials of people--yours.

There is nothing else stopping you except your own thoughts and actions.

I am a strong believer of the power of listening.

Communication starts with listening—speaking comes second.

My coaching starts with deep listening.

I love listening to your stories.

Narratives can reveal your core values and potentials.

I feel I am on a treasure hunt when you tell your stories.

You are a precious being who can contribute to the world with your uniqueness.       

I hold a doctorate in transpersonal psychology. I also have degrees in literature, education, linguistics and East Asian Literature and Languages.

My training as a life coach was completed and certified in 2010 in Transformatinal Coaching by Dr. Rosie Kuhn, the Paradigm Shifts Coaching (http://www.theparadigmshifts.com/transformational-coaching/what-is-coaching/)
