I’m here to help you lead from a place of alignment
with your values. So you make changes with ease and wellness.
We all have intersecting, multiple roles to play in our lives, whether it’s a leader, employee, partner, or parent. We are often pressured to fragment ourselves and become a robot that performs and perfects those roles even if it means costing our body, heart, mind, and/or soul. And it is deeply problematic.
I believe that whatever roles we may play, it is our birthright as humans to meet our needs, fulfill our longings, express our feelings, tend to our sensations, and manifest qualities that matter to us.
I do NOT give advice but hold a space for you to:
⚘ Decondition from normative narratives that expect us to be in a certain way,
⚘ Reconnect to who you are, what matters, and what you yearn for (aka. core values), and
⚘ Explore, imagine, and create new ways of leading.
So you lead in a way that makes your body, heart, mind and soul in alignment.
That, I believe, will enable us to together create a world where we experience love and belonging just as raw, whole humans.
Nanami (she/her):
an ICF Certified Coach
I used to believe that meaningful work requires a relentless hustle. Despite my good intentions, the harder I worked, the more misaligned I became.
I unknowingly upheld the normative expectations and measured my worth against them.
That misalignment manifested in me as a form of chronic burnout, resentment, and stuckness.
It wasn’t until I explored and reclaimed my own values that I started moving with more ease.
By tending to all those “symptoms,” I was able to get back to my inner knowing of what I truly care about. Slowly but surely, I started unlearning what I believed was “supposed” to do and showing up for what matters, in a way that truly honors all of who I am.
Now I work with values-led changemakers around the world. I become alive when I connect with them as humans and support them in making choices that are rooted in core values. The impact that I am making and how I am going at it feel very exciting and freeing to me.
That was my story. And your story and dreams are unique and yours alone. I am here to support you to explore and reorient to what’s important to you.
Are you also someone who is looking to make an impact in your communities with flow? Find out more about how I can support you.

My Approach to Coaching
-
☼ We are worthy and deserving just because. Our worthiness isn’t to be earned or contingent on what we do, how much we produce and possess, and where we are situated in existing power structures.
-
☼ We are whole and cyclic and have multifaceted desires to fulfill and qualities to embody in our lives.
☼ We are unique and complex in terms of living/lived experiences and perceptions — as we exist within a sea of intersecting identities and forces that affect us.
-
☼ We are autonomous and inherently know who we truly are and what’s best for us.
☼ We are agents who make personal, interpersonal, and collective changes based on our own inner knowing.
☼ We are pragmatic in surviving and making sense of our lives in oppressive systems, rather than being broken or mere victims.
