my story


You might be wondering, “Hmm, what brings Helen to this work?”

Well, it’s a tale as old as time. I’ve always been a high-achiever and perfectionist. My tiger mom and panda dad made many sacrifices to ensure that I would have the best education possible. As a result, I was lucky enough to attend Harvard for college and have built a successful career in Partnerships at several top tech companies. It has all been a dream come true, but after years of being told what to do and chasing accomplishments, I still felt somewhat empty and unfulfilled. I sought out mentoring and fitness training as ways to fill that void, but I knew there had to be more.

On this journey, I dove into inner-child work, therapy, and lots of healing before finding coaching. I realized that many elements of my life were out of sync with my true values, and that this whole time I had been chasing someone else’s dream. I am now a Co-Active trained coach and have recognized my passion for helping others in a forward looking yet introspective way. I am deeply committed to my own self-discovery and am eager to partner with you as you step into your own power to build a more intentional life.
