Working with Alex

1:1 Coaching

The private coaching container offers a personalized and supportive space to make this work more effortless and energizing for you.

I hold a space

  • That values and supports your agency as my number one priority.

  • Where you don't need to compromise, perform, explain yourself, or have everything figured out.

  • Where your guards and coping strategies can take a break. Where all aspects of you can be heard, seen, and held.

  • Where you can release thoughts and emotions you no longer want to hold in.

  • For you to experiment with expressing yourself and your boundaries SAFELY.

  • Where the only person you need to please is yourself.

Together, I'll help you find your patterns, reasons, and beliefs to make decisions you can trust.

Working together, we'll build your capacity to navigate conflict, chaos, transitions, and big emotions without losing yourself in the process.

  • My role as a coach is to facilitate curiosity. Rather than offering answers, I ask questions designed to help you slow down, reflect, and reconnect with your own inner knowing.

    Think of me as an external hard drive that expands your capacity, helps your brain to process all the new information coming to you. If your brain is the processor that is currently overheating, I might provide the support to help it cool down and work more efficiently!

    You don't need to arrive organized or with a plan.

    You just need to know that you want to shift out of your current state.

    You're welcome to do as little or as much preparation as your energy allows before each call. Just showing up is more than enough. We'll figure out the rest together.

    I believe both flow and structure are critical in creating a container that enables the flow inside out — from ideas to motivations to actions. 1:1 coaching allows me to tailor a program for you that has enough structure for you to feel stable instead of chaotic, and enough flexibility that allows us the freedom to explore ideas and build muscles more organically.

The Structure for Our Engagement

Pre-anything connection calls

For coaching to work for you, trust in the space I hold is absolutely paramount. And trust takes time. We will meet twice to understand your needs and my approach, these calls are for us to see if we are the right fit for each other. No strings attached.

In a session

We will start with what's present for you, if you show up feeling unmotivated or blank - fret not, I've got you! I have a range of tools to choose from that gives you the flow back.

    • 90-minute strategy session every 3 months to reflect and reset intentions for the season; I'll guide you to prioritize and let go, locking down a plan that works for your circumstances and within your capacity.

    • Mid-journey check in: for us to recalibrate ways to communicate and work together. Maybe there are certain expressions you'd like me to avoid or lean in, maybe there are tools you'd like to try. This helps us leave the guesswork at the door.

    • Post-program feedback: When our six month period is over, I want you to share what worked for you, where you have grown, and anything I should know moving forward! You are my priority.

Summarizing the Practical Details

We start with 6 months; after that the length can be adjusted to fit your needs.

We will meet for 12 1-on-1 coaching sessions, each 75 minutes long.

Sessions can be either in-person (in NYC, and occasionally Taiwan), or virtual.

Sessions can flow between English and Mandarin.

I provide 6 months of asynchronous work offline support to help you deepen, building a daily practice to help you climb your tiny hills!

I will share personalized teachings, tools and resources you can keep forever.

The Flow

Depending on what's intriguing or gnawing for you, we will explore and may draw from conversation, Internal Family Systems (IFS), embodiment practices, mindfulness, creative exercises (ex: drawing, writing…), habit-building experiments, and other tools.

Working together, I'll guide you to experiment, reflect, and build containers that support the life you're trying to create. We'll pay attention to what's working, what's not, and adjust as we learn. Together, we'll experiment, collect data, reflect, and adjust as we learn more about what works for you.

"Just like in a yoga class where you train your muscles by practicing downward-facing dog again and again, we will work together to build the muscles of your unique capacity and skills. Then, from that place of grounded practice, you will be ready to embrace whatever comes next. Have you ever begun training your body but only later noticed a change when you realized you could now lift something heavy without stress? That is the power of change from the inside out, and the transformation I want us to cultivate together."

You are here to expand and be accepted fully, not to limit yourself to fit a modality or solution. I believe you're an expert of your heart, body, and mind; I am here to support you make decisions and build habits that align with your needs and desires.
