My coaching journey began when I built an award-winning spa from the ground up. I’ve set up Kocoon Spa, an award-winning spa and wellness center, and ran it for a decade, working with inspiring practitioners from around the world to host numerous workshops in beauty, health, wellness, and healing art.

When I started the business, I had zero experience, but I was full of passion.


Kocoon Spa was built from scratch with zero clients on the list, I drafted all the operations, administration, and marketing material recruited the team, and researched suppliers and service providers.

I had so much pressure; I worked hard while neglecting health and self-care. As a consequence, for several years, I suffered from stress-related chronic illnesses.

Fast forward a few years, after spending a night in the emergency room and realizing how much my body had deteriorated, I decided to make changes. I binged on business and personal development resources. I experimented with all the strategies I learned about, to organize my work and own life.

I gradually became aware that leading a business successfully demands consistently working on oneself, on our mind, body, and soul.


Because when you're healthy and in the right mindset, you become resourceful and inspired.

Today, clients need to reserve a few days in advance to get treatment at Kocoon Spa. Canada Day Spa, Asia Spa, Vogue, Luxe City Guide, and Louis Vuitton City Guide recommended Kocoon Spa, and it’s David Beckham’s favorite in the city!

The icing on the cake is the business was awarded Best Spa of the capital for the past three years and shortlisted nomination for Best Day Spa by Asia Spa Awards.

Through this powerful lesson, I learned that things don’t have to be hard, and you don’t have to figure out everything on your own and struggle.

Working with coaches was a transformative and deeply inspiring experience. It helped me expand my view beyond my limiting believes and achieve more than I could ever dream possible in my life and business.

 

This self-discovery is why I’m here today.


I know that deep inside, you have a dream, a vision, that is waiting to come to life. You feel alone in this path and overwhelmed by the unexpected twists and turns.

And I know from experience that it doesn’t have to be this way. You can enjoy the journey and have fun!

If you’re looking to build, grow, or streamline your business with confidence, I’d love to work with you.

Holding space “with” purpose-driven entrepreneurs to build and grow their own business and helping them develop the vital skills-set to harness their potential makes me so proud and drives everything I do.

Where do my teaching inspiration and style come from?


My formal education comes from International Business School ESCE and the leading institute Erickson Coaching International. Most of it comes from a lifelong passion for learning and numerous trainings in the business, marketing, and therapeutic field.

Some inspiration comes from the coaches, authors, and thought leaders I grew up reading and working with. And a lot comes from the lessons learned by building and growing my businesses and collaborating with people from different walks of life and cultures.

What I Value in

Life & In Business

Family



Family always comes first and I make decisions with them at the forefront. I was taught to follow my dreams from a very young age, which impacted my entire life. I want to show my family a positive example and endeavor to create an environment for children that fosters autonomy, creativity, and self-confidence.

Integrity



If I commit to something, I will do everything to fulfill my promises. And this is something I expect from my clients and collaborators. Knowing that we can build a mutual relationship of trust and respect and both work towards our happiness and success in business and life is imperative.

Simplicity



Being overwhelmed by big concepts and difficult-to-grasp ideas doesn’t promote any growth or movement. I help my clients overcome this hurdle by making every aspect of their strategy and marketing simple, actionable, and easy to implement by providing a step-by-step process.

Inclusion



My team and I are dedicated to cultivating an inclusive environment where community, kindness, and equity are practiced and nurtured. With this in mind, I created programs that fit every budget, whether it's an ebook, workshop, or masterclass. 

Peace of Mind



History has shown me that our bodies react negatively to a lack of selfcare, manifesting in physical, emotional, and mental ways. This is why every decision I make is first met with this question: Will this give me peace of mind or take it away? For me, peace of mind has no price, so it is something I can’t compromise on.

Holism



My methodology is based on my holistic philosophies where one’s personal life and business life are integrated. I believe one gets the best results when you look at and care for the whole system. This is why my programs focus on value alignment, business systems and processes and time management.

Looking for

Structure, systems, and strategy?


What might a business *on your terms* look like? It all starts by strengthening your vision, creating a timeline and schedule that works for you, and, finally, launching those ideas into action.

My goal for you during our time together is for you to level up with ease and elegance.
