INNER FRIEND

I started my life as a quiet, sensitive and intuitive child. At a young age, I learnt to hide how I feel and appear as a stable and gentle person to others so that I could be accepted and feel useful. Over years of hiding my inner thoughts and moulding myself to suit different situations, by my mid-20s, I felt lost in my life direction and relationship. I felt empty and sad when I should be happy and fulfilled. This dissonance started a deep inner journey and reflection to know myself, to learn how to relate to others while being authentic and to walk my paths. This journey continues until today.

Life sometimes throws us experiences that forces us to learn. In my first serious foray into this inner work, I worked in a job under unreasonably demanding conditions. I didn't know what were appropriate boundaries, felt guilty and shameful and like I should do more. I lived in a illusion that everything was okay and "the way it should be". In my next serious business in this inner work, in spite of a little warning voice in my heart, I believed naively that "everything will be okay" and went ahead to partner with a narcissist. This started a deep experience on how my tendency to be a victim and my lack of self worth could be taken to the extremes and drained my soul, dreams and energy. It took a journey of love, compassion and truth with my inner space to relearn how to differentiate reality and dreams, and to build my life back by discarding old ways, clearing heart spaces and rebuilding supportive and loving relationships with my family, friends, partner and workmates.

Throughout my life journey, I found meaning in providing space for my friends and later on, my clients to be more in tune with their inner self. I have been coaching since 2015. Hearing from my clients, my speciality is in facilitating the inner state and helping people to let go and be more aligned, relaxed, and happy.
