A lawyer, weekend farmer, swing dance lover and amateur life coach, I am passionate about personal growth. I enjoy working with individuals on their self-discovery journey to develop awareness, achieve clarity, find solutions that best suit them and unlock their potential, ultimately leading to more fulfulling lives.
Born and raised in Hong Kong, educated in the UK, with work secondment exposure in London, Canberra and Incheon, I consider myself international with fairly broad life experiences. Sensitive and introspective, I have been on my own healing path. Being able to use my gift of empathy to connect with and empower my coaching clients has been most rewarding.
Trained with iPEC (Institute for Professional Excellence in Coaching), I obtained my ICF ACC credential in 2023. I am also an ELI-MP (Energy Leadership Index Master Practioner), practising core energy coaching that transforms clients from within for sustainable change.
I have more than 270 hours of coaching experience having worked with over 30 individuals based in Hong Kong, Japan, Taiwan, Spain, Australia, Canada, the US and South America, among whom some have been my regular clients for 1-2 years.
I am excited to work with new people and see where the coaching process takes us! The first session is free, with nominal donations to a charity for follow-up sessions.
I am writing this review with a heart full of gratitude for the profound impact Elaine has had on me through some 20+ coaching sessions

Elaine has provided a patient space allowing me to explore my thoughts and feelings at my own pace. Her observant and supportive presence gave me the courage to look inward.
She also had an incredible ability to help me navigate and dissect the root causes of issues I had been carrying for years. I didn't just get superficial advice; I was gently guided on a deep journey of self-discovery. Elaine has a unique talent for asking the right questions, helping to clarify my tangled thoughts and bring into focus what was previously cloudy and confusing. I must also mention that Elaine managed to handle with ease and grace the wide variety of topics I brought up throughout the sessions, be it career, marriage, parenting or the search of life meanings. She could look through the surface and touch on the fundamentals.
Most powerfully, she helped me untie knots that had been accumulating over decades. These weren't just recent struggles, but deeply ingrained patterns and beliefs. To finally feel those knots loosen and unravel has been liberating. I am leaving our sessions with a clearer mind and a lighter heart.
If you are ready to do the deep work with a guide who is both insightful and incredibly supportive, I cannot recommend Elaine highly enough.

Elaine is a fantastic coach! I have had two sessions with her so far and they have been very helpful
[more]
She is a compassionate and insightful person who goes above and beyond to understand issues and help people. She guides you through conversation, helps you take apart issues, and enables you to empower yourself in a patient and kind way. Her sessions motivate me to do better. It's similar to having an amazing teacher. From each session, I took away something I can work on or think about differently to incrementally improve myself. I absolutely recommend her as a coach!

"Me time" means different things to different people and for a long time, it was time where I caught up on my chores and the time to go through a laundry list of things "to do"
[more]
I developed a different definition of "me time" - as the "intentional time taken to think about hindrances, reflect on feelings and thoughts behind my actions and to discover a way forward to overcoming my next challenge." Elaine has helped me explore answers to questions which I may or may not have had answers to, buried or disregarded thoughts. Coaching time give me the space for thinking, where silence is not awkward, where responses are neither wrong or right and the time to consider what I need to do to get to a position where I am comfortable enough to go ahead with a decision. We all have answers and Elaine's life coaching has given intentional space, time, support and guidance to explore these.
