Welcome.

I offer executive coaching for leadership development.

I also offer therapy for individuals and couples.

I integrate somatic intelligence to reach what traditional talking methods do not.

So you ARE, FEEL, and DO, your best in the most important areas of your life.

This works too well to ignore.

That’s why I created SOMATIC INTEL - The science and applications of somatic intelligence in your professional and personal life.

As an executive coach I work with high-achieving, intensely driven leaders to integrate and align your mental, emotional, and somatic intelligence so that you show up fully informed and equipped to lead at the highest level.

As a licensed marriage and family therapist I also hold a safe, sacred space for you and with you in your most vulnerable moments so you thrive, not just survive.

As a first-generation Taiwanese American growing up in the SGV, the commonly prescribed "recipe" for success was medical school or bust. While navigating the pre-med track at UCLA (Go Bruins!), my body staged a massive protest. Sparing the gory details, I busted. Two bedridden weeks later, I finally acknowledged what my system was screaming: This is not your path.

This pivot sparked a whirlwind corporate career —climbing from an HR assistant in South Gate, CA to the hustle of a Forbes Global Top 5 firm in NYC. Yet, through a decade of relocations, another career pivot, and building a family, I remained somewhat dissociated. I was still living out a culturally prescribed script, ignoring internal signals, and dismissing the persistent low-grade pain in my body.

Today, I am deeply grateful for those somatic wake-up calls. I finally know how to listen to and leverage the data my body provides. Crucial decisions are now guided by postural ease rather than a tight stomach, and deep, grounding breaths organically follow new possibilities. By increasing my own somatic attunement, I’ve unlocked a resilient, internal anchor that allows me to ride life’s waves and bounce back faster.

Through research, practice, and the sharing of Somatic Intel, my joy is to partner with you. Together, we will reacquaint you with all of your inner resources, allowing you to enjoy a deeply meaningful personal and professional life—in a body you are at peace with.

To your success,

Nina
