My Story

Fourteen years ago, I moved to the U.S. Before that, I'd built a career in HR, and I always wanted to be professionally successful. That wasn't just a goal. It was who I was.

I didn't know anyone here. New country, no friends - and the identity I'd built around being professionally successful was gone. Not gradually. Shattered.

For the next several years, I tried to rebuild it the only way I knew how: through work. And work kept disappointing me. Every setback chipped away a little more. With every disappointment, I questioned who I actually was.

Eventually, I found a job. Purpose, finally, I thought. Then the job disappeared - before my identity had the chance to rebuild around it.

Through all of it, I didn't know who to be anymore.

I knew I needed answers. But I kept looking for them in the same place that kept letting me down - a title, a role, a job description.

Meanwhile, in the background of my own unraveling, I was showing up for everyone else, watching family members grow, supporting them, cheering them on. And every time I did, something in me dimmed a little more.

Then, two years ago, I was helping my husband find a mentor. It had nothing to do with me. I was just doing what I'm used to doing, being useful to someone I love.

Little did I know, that was the beginning of my own journey. Into inner work. Into somatic work. Into helping other women find their own identity - the way I was starting to find mine.

That is my identity now. Not a job title. Not a role I perform.

Identity isn't what we do. It's who we are, underneath everything we do.

Today, I'm a certified somatic coach and identity coach with a background in HR, Design Thinking, and organizational change. I help women reconnect with who they are beneath every role they play, through mindset work and body-based coaching that builds steadiness, awareness, and forward movement that feels true.

This work is ongoing. There's no final arrival. But I've learned how to stay with myself through the waves, and I'm here to remind you that you can, too.
