Description

My life has been an empowerment bootcamp of sorts. Several times I have moved to places where I knew no one, where I had no job waiting for me, and/or sometimes where I could barely speak the language. I was searching for that place that I could call home but instead (eventually) found a space inside myself that was home no matter where I was. Through my experiences I have learned about who I am and how to find my strength, my voice, and a way through any kind of obstacle. Life experiences are my greatest teachers and have helped me learn the truth about who I am and how to express this truth authentically, without hesitation, under any circumstances. I have struggled most of my life with trying to find a balance between sensible activities and my true desires/dreams. Frequently, the sensible side won. Either from external pressure from family and society or from a fear in myself that I didn't have it in me to do something big, I caved and chose the sensible option. If I did pull through and take a stand, I would do it with a big side order of sensible. This would result in me feeling very out of tune with myself and miserable because all of the things I loved about what I was doing were lost to the chaos I was creating by trying so hard to be sensible. The more I tried to put myself in a box (even though it was only in my own mind), the more I misbehaved, acted out in selfish ways, and treated myself with disrespect. Through my experiences, I slowly began to realize that the more in line I felt with my true nature, the happier I was, the more time and energy I had to spend quality time with myself and the people I cared about, and the more I was able to nurture feelings of self-respect and self-confidence. I obtained a BA in Japanese Language and Literature. This opened many doors for experiences that I could not have ancitipated and literally took me around the world and back again. I have lived and worked in Japan, worked for Japanese companies in NYC, and still enjoy studying the language and culture of Japan. I have experience working for major corporations, non-profit organizations large and small, and in an academic setting. I received my coaching certification from the International Coach Academy , an accredited training provider with the International Coach Federation. Throughout my life, I have assisted many people on their own journeys, fighting their own battles, working through their own stuff. I helped them find strength in themselves and a heightened awareness of their own role in their success and/or struggles. Being part of someone's empowerment process is an honor. We are all wonderfully unique and have immense inherent value and beauty. I find so much joy in seeing an individual find strength in themselves and catch a glimpse of how truly amazing they are. I am eternally grateful for the opportunity to work with each of my coaching clients.
