For as long as I remember, I kept asking myself who I am and what is the purpose of my existence. I read books, listened to talks, and had deep conversations with friends, family, and spiritual gurus, hoping to get answers to my wonders, but I found myself drowning in the darkness of external noises and felt shattered inside. At 22, I was at rock bottom, feeling torn and depleted. I was an overachiever in the conventional sense, living a happy young adult life with a good degree, a good job, and a group of friends whom I can count on, but I knew I was dead inside. I was secretly planning a suicide.

​

Little did I know that these pains were messengers. Life was presenting me with a priceless gift to guide me home. All the nights when these pains knocked hard on me, there was a weak but clear voice inside of me, that I would find my path and live in my truth.

​

One morning after crying through the night, I truly had enough. I pulled myself together for work, but planned to move up the goodbye. As I walked down the stairs, a sudden urge made me pause. I closed my eyes and let go of all of me — my identity, my body, and my brain chatters. Then something strange happened. I felt energy flushing through me, vibrating with electricity as if I ran into a waterfall. My mind was in complete stillness and silence. I stood there, permitting myself to experience it without understanding what happened. As I opened my eyes, I saw a new world with vibrant colors, sensed chilly air brushing my skin, and felt totally free. Years later, I learned that was an awakening, or Zen Buddhism would call it satori, “sudden enlightenment”.

​

Since then, I have practiced more mindfulness and the power of now. I’ve chosen to live in present and surrender to life. I felt more at peace, but I still had fear and self-sabotage, until coaching came to me.

​

I probed my deepest thoughts and beliefs through coaching. I had aha moments to see what had been blocking me. I discovered who I am, my truths, and my callings. I saw my unique gifts and values that no one could take away. I became free and found my way home. I am living in my true self and living up to my fullest soul.

​

One of my callings is to touch and empower other beautiful souls. I see unique gifts in each of you, waiting for you to unwrap. I want to share what I have learnt from mindful living and coaching to help you on this journey to self-integrity. I know this path might seem scary and bumpy, but you don’t have to be alone. Your inner teacher will guide you home, and you are already on your way home.
