My Approach
I support social movement leaders, healers, and practitioners to live and work in alignment with their values so that they can embody their wholeness and accelerate social transformation. I offer 1-on-1 coaching, strategic consulting services, and support programs for nonprofit leaders.
I practice healing-centered and trauma-informed coaching and consulting. Rooted in my background working with Asian American and LGBTQ+ communities, I support individuals and teams that are experiencing periods of crisis, transition, or growth. My coaching, consulting, and peer support work seeks to support those struggling to reconcile their personal and/or collective values with white supremacy culture in the workplace and community. We may be a good fit if you are seeking to align your liberatory values with your organizational practices, culture, and infrastructure.
I am particularly focused on working with new and emerging QTBIPOC leaders and nonprofit executive directors, with a specific expertise in 1-on-1 training and coaching for first-time executive directors. Based on the project requirements, I may partner with peer coaches and consultants.
