Hey there, I’m Kaya, a certified life coach.
I love supporting young Chinese women 
to break free from societal expectations
so that they create an independent and powerful life.

Becoming a coach in 2022 wasn't part of my original plan. I was on the conventional path—good school, stable job, city life. But deep down, I craved more adventure, a bigger world. I kept telling myself, "Maybe later," thinking I didn’t have enough money or smarts for my dream life.

Then, the 3-month lockdown in Shanghai hit. Stuck in my small apartment, my biggest fear was wasting my life waiting for the perfect moment while doing nothing. That fear was a wake-up call, prompting me to rethink everything and focus on what truly mattered to me. I realized I wanted a job letting me work from anywhere and explore the world. That's when coaching came into the picture. Although I had explored coaching two years earlier, it was more of a hobby back then. Now, it presented itself as the perfect career path that aligned perfectly with my aspirations.

So, my coaching journey began again. During lockdown, I retook my coaching training, started my business, got my first clients. When the lockdown ended, I said goodbye to my old job, embraced a nomadic life, and kept coaching while exploring the world.

What's funny is while I'm coaching others, I'm the one feeling deeply empowered. I've had the privilege of witnessing remarkable transformations as my clients break through fears and self-doubts, and start to live authentically, with clarity, focus, ease, and grace. This reaffirms my belief that everyone is born whole and complete, with the power to live their dream life if they're willing to embark on the journey.

Coaching has supported me and my clients to embrace lives filled with harmony, meaning, satisfaction, and fulfillment. And now, I want to share that gift with you.

Ready to spark your personal revolution? Let's make it happen.

My Coaching Principles


Ontology
My coaching journey began with training from the Academy for Coaching Excellence led by Dr. Maria Nemeth, where the foundation is grounded in ontology—the study of being. This framework delves into the essence of human existence, exploring the values we live by, the heroic journey we embark upon, and the lasting impact we want to leave on others.

I see you on a unique journey, here to contribute, learn, and turn your dreams into reality by being willing to take action. In my coaching, instead of dissecting aspects of your life or questioning why you think and act as you do, I guide you through ontological perspectives. You'll learn to observe your life without judgment, pushing beyond previous limits with clarity, focus, ease, and grace.



Chinese Traditional Culture Perspectives
Immersed in Chinese traditional culture, my life philosophy is rooted in Buddhism, Taoism, and Yi Studies. These foundations shape my understanding of the unpredictable world with a clear, flexible, and comprehensive structure.

In coaching sessions, these cultural underpinnings create a "zen vibe." Clients frequently describe the experience as conversing with a "transparent and warm being" or "meandering through a forest as the first morning light gently spreads its warmth everywhere."



Education & Psychology
My educational background includes a Master's degree in Education from the University of Pennsylvania. This experience taught me to empower people in diverse ways, cultivating adaptability to challenges through the lenses of human development, education, and positive psychology.

This journey ignited my interest in understanding humanity, fostering an ever-growing curiosity and compassion towards individuals. In coaching, I approach you as a complete person, eager to explore the contributions you're here to make, your goals, dreams, and uncover the answers that reside within you.

Investment

I envision a world where everyone is supported 100% and no one is left out. The pricing options on a sliding scale align with this vision, allowing individuals who might face financial constraints to access my coaching services.

I invite you to evaluate your financial situation (including savings, expenses, external support, and fundraising capabilities), and choose the tier that works for your budget.

Tier 1: $200/Month if you meet basic needs
Tier 2: $300/Month if you are financially secure
Tier 3: $400/Month if you are financially abundant

If you can contribute at a higher tier, your investment aids those in lower tiers, enabling their participation and fostering a diverse community.
