Let Me Help You, Help You

One of the main reasons that we have difficulty in fulfilling our dreams in life or achieving some acceptable level of happiness and self-love- is because we stand in our own way. We build up auto defense mechanisms to protect ourselves from failure/rejection and in turn, live our dreams unfulfilled with ideas quieted and saved for 'the right time'.

Learn to open your eyes so you can live a more fulfilling life of simple, genuine happiness and real satisfaction. Let's work together so you can express your dreams and desires and set some realistic goals. I can help you outline your path to achieving them while also learning how to push yourself out of the way- along the way.

I will not solve your problems, but I can help guide you to finding the answers and solutions that fit YOU.

Small Business Coaching

You are a brilliant leader of your own business or brand. Now what…

Whether you are embarking on making your business a reality, or you’re a seasoned business veteran, or you’re just dreaming at this stage- let’s connect. Leaning into your business takes some motivation sometimes and baby steps. I’ve done this- you got this.

Relationship Coaching

With your friends. Co-workers. Boss. Boyfriend. Girlfriend. Family. Spouse. Yourself.

We can't change people. But what we can change, is our approach and our attitudes to people around us. This is the essential first step in finding love, peace and sanity. I can help you get there. (But sorry, I can't help get your husband to take out the garbage on his own will.)

Life-Stages Coaching

The twenty-something life crisis' is alive and real and just as a poignant time as is celebrating the joy of turning fifty.  

All the years in between are a cycle of joys, sorrows, challenges, thrills and fulfillment- which can be overwhelming at times. This is where getting and keeping your shit together is essential.  Don't know how to keep your shit together? Have lots of shit going on? Do you know what 'path' you're on? 

I can help you create your path, and own it, and tackle life hurdles with sanity and ease.

About Me

I am a first generation Korean Canadian who grew up in a household where my parents encouraged me to always be a leader and stand up for myself (spare the North Korea jokes please...lol). I was born and raised in Toronto, Canada surrounded by fellow immigrant families who were all working hard and finding their ways. I have always been a study in contrasts and still am today. I was painfully shy but painfully bossy. I was very decisive and always knew what I did and didn't like and never wavered.

Well, things haven't changed much! I am an Interior Designer by trade and have a natural knack for (creative) problem solving. I get my incredible sensibility from my mother and my sense of empathy and kindness from my father. 

In 2003 I was 28 years old, single, and at the height of my social apex with countless friends and epic party memories to boot. I had a good job with an award winning design firm but the bitter winter was getting me down.  Heavy winter coats and snow shoveling just wasn't going to cut it any longer. I started thinking of an escape. California was on my radar...a cosmopolitan, warm, west coast liberal shangri-la? F*ck. Yes.  BUT- after a chance meeting with my friends at a bar in Toronto, I found myself, two months later, embarking on a move that kept me on the East Coast- southward to the steamy tropical deliciousness of Miami for a job as in-house Art Curator and Design Manager for a powerful developer. All of my friends and family in Toronto doubted that I would actually do it- but I did. I knew ZERO people in Miami and was moving into a three month sublet, to get my feet wet, in a place called "South Beach". I clearly wasn't thinking in years ahead- I was simply living in the moment with excitement and optimism of the unknown. Scary shit, right?

I channeled my best Korean Mary Tyler Moore and declared, I am going to make it!

Twelve years later, I am still here in South Beach. Married to an amazingly hilarious, funny, kind Miami native with two crazy adorable boys, two dogs and three fish. I have worked with leading international design firms, major real estate developers and brands and own my own interior and exterior design and graphics company. I have amazing clients that I create amazing things for, to improve their quality of life and increase revenue. I love helping people beautify their spaces and improve their brands so, naturally this ability spills over to life. 

I truly believe that everyone has the potential for ultimate happiness. I attribute mine, to being open minded, humble and taking emotional risks.

My approach to life coaching I realize, is not of the 'zen kumbaya' nature. I am straight up honest, wildly humorous and genuinely dedicated and empathetic, and I truly enjoy helping others succeed.
