your live aligned coach

Trying to find balance in our everyday lives can be hard. Do you ever stop and think, "I just want to stop and think."? Why don’t we give ourselves the time and space to really reflect on what we want in our lives?  As someone who works the 8 to 5 job, tries to balance time with my partner, kiddos, community, and prioritize time for my own self-care and dreams, I know how hard it can be to slow down and just be present. There was a point in my life where I recognized I was living in a cycle "what's next?" without thought on whether it aligned to what I wanted out of life.  I needed a change. I needed to feel like I could cultivate the authentic and intentional life I wanted to live. 

I have been humbled by all that I continue to learn as I have embarked on this journey of defining what it means to live aligned for myself. What I have gained so far is a calling to align my identities, my education, the challenges I have experienced, and the deep care I have for people through Life and Purpose Coaching. 

If any of this experience has resonated with you and you are looking for a way to feel more connected to your purpose, a safe space to think and engage with someone who believes your limitless potential, and support to think through how to reach your goals, please consider connecting with me to see if my coaching services might be a good fit for you. 

My approach to coaching is rooted in positive psychology, mindfulness, practicality, and humor. I am committed to really get-to-know my clients and build a relationship based on trust and respect. I partner with my clients to identify limiting beliefs, strengths, and motivations. We then use strategies to create next steps and accountability plans. I will be there cheering for you as you test these new skills and work toward mastery of your new mindset! I am honored to be in a place where I can share what I have learned through my life experience, education, and training as a Certified Life and Purpose Coach to help others find what it feels like to live aligned. 

I am a lifelong resident of Washington State. After college, I settled in the wonderful community of Kent, where I met my hilarious husband and where we are raising our three boys in our multigenerational home with my in-laws. I identify as a Woman of Color with a Filipino/Caucasian lived experience. I am a proud mother, daughter, sister, and friend. I enjoy spending time with family and friends, participating in my kids' school activities, books, movies, organizing events, meditation, travel, and new adventures. Most of all, I love to learn and connect with others!
