My Story

From Life Experiences to Life Coaching

Everyone has a story. Mine is one of resilience, compassion, unexpected life transitions, and the discovery that even life's most difficult seasons can lead us to a deeper purpose.

A Journey That Led Me to Life Coaching

My journey to becoming a life coach was shaped not only by my professional experience, but also by the unexpected challenges, life transitions, and opportunities for growth that I encountered along the way.

 

​Born and raised in Bangkok, Thailand, I came to the United States and experienced first-hand the challenges of adapting to a new culture, learning a new language, attending new schools, pursuing new career opportunities, building meaningful friendships, and becoming part of new communities while creating a life in a new country. These experiences helped me develop resilience, empathy, and a deep appreciation for the courage it takes to move forward during times of uncertainty.

A Career Dedicated to Helping Others

For more than 20 years, I worked in the nonprofit social service field, serving in both clinical and leadership roles.  Throughout my career, I had the privilege of supporting individuals and families from diverse backgrounds as they navigated life and behavioral changes. I connected them with resources, conducted outreach, and advocated on their behalf, and witnessed firsthand the strength of the human spirit. These experiences deepened my appreciation for the power of compassion, meaningful connections, and hope during life's most difficult moments. 

In addition to my work in social services, I maintained a part-time dog walking and pet care business for many years while attending school and later working full-time. Building and running my own business taught me invaluable lessons about responsibility, commitment, communication, and trust. Caring for clients' beloved pets allowed me to build lasting relationships with pet owners and earn their confidence through reliability, consistency, and genuine care. Those experiences reinforced my belief that meaningful relationships are built on trust, and that even small acts of kindness can make a lasting difference in people's lives. These values continue to guide my work today. 

When Life Took an Unexpected Turn

My life took an unexpected turn following the loss of my mother in 2021. I returned to Thailand to honor her memory and support my family during a difficult time. After returning to the United States, I made the difficult decision to step away from my leadership career and become a 24/7 caregiver for my partner, who had become seriously ill. 

 

Together, we faced the uncertainty of understanding the illness, searching for answers, and navigating the many challenges that followed. Today, we continue rebuilding our lives after experiencing profound loss and unexpected life changes.  While the journey has been incredibly difficult, I would not have changed that decision for the world.

 

Caregiving has been one of the greatest challenges of my life, but it has also been one of my greatest teachers. Caring for someone you love has become one of the greatest privileges and most meaningful experiences of my life. 

The Lessons That Shaped the Coach I Am Today

This chapter of my life taught me invaluable lessons about loss, grief, resilience, friendships, loyalty, compassion, uncertainty, faith, the power of prayer, and the strength required to keep moving forward when life doesn't go as planned. Through these experiences, I gained a deeper understanding of the emotional, physical, financial, and spiritual challenges that often accompany major life transitions. Most importantly, I discovered that healing begins with self-compassion, hope, and finding purpose - even in life's most difficult seasons.

Why I Created T.I. Life Coaching, LLC

These personal and professional experiences ultimately inspired me to create T.I. Life Coaching, LLC

 

I created this practice because I know how overwhelming life's transitions can feel. I also know that healing, growth, and new beginnings are possible when we don't have to face them alone.

My hope is to offer others the same compassion, encouragement, and support that helped me navigate my life's transitions.

The Heart Behind My Coaching

My experiences have shaped not only the coach I am today, but also the way I choose to live.

At T.I. Life Coaching, I help people navigate life's transitions through the blending of head and heart while living generously with compassion, courage, gratitude, and hope.

I believe meaningful change begins when we feel heard, understood, and supported. Rather than telling you what your next chapter should be, I walk alongside you as you discover your own path with confidence, resilience, and purpose.

Because I believe every person deserves to feel seen, valued, and empowered to create a life that reflects who they truly are.

 

 

If my story has taught me anything, it's that even in life's most difficult seasons, hope, healing, and new beginnings are possible. It would be my privilege to walk alongside you on your own journey. Together, we'll uncover the strength, resilience, and wisdom that have been within you all along, helping you create a life that truly reflects who you are.

Thank you for taking the time to read my story.

Live Generously,

With Gratitude,
