I’m a double certified dharma (purpose) and spiritual life coach, trained under the Dharma Coaching Institute. My journey into personal and spiritual growth has been lifelong, but it deepened significantly after I participated in a 10-day silent Vipassana meditation retreat in 2020. This experience revealed the layers of healing I needed and taught me to observe my thoughts rather than be consumed by them.

In 2018, I moved to Tokyo to pursue a PhD in international relations + political science. During the academic journey, I faced a lot of anxiety, stress, and burn out. This led me to meditation and inner work. I confronted my insecurities and past traumas that had shaped my life, particularly as I navigated feelings of not belonging and unworthiness.

Through professional support, safe spaces, and emotional processing, I learned to recognize and break free from unhealthy patterns. The healing journey turns your pain into your power. One of the biggest gifts through the work was discovering how acceptance + love for myself directly influenced how I connected with others.

Now, fueled by passion and clarity about my purpose, I guide others in discovering their inner joy, power, and purpose too.
