Meet Your Coach
Nothing excites me more than confronting and embracing fear! My transformation has strengthened me to shed my perfectionism and live with unwavering self-trust.
I wasn’t born confident.
I built it.
Over time, I noticed a pattern...the moments where I actually changed weren’t when I was harsh with myself—they were when I practiced self-compassion, got curious, and took one courageous step. That is how I developed the 4C Framework.
Compassion → Curiosity → Courage → Confidence.
Before 4C, I was:
Living by external expectations and approval.
In a long-term relationship that became unhealthy and abusive.
Working in education with poor boundaries around my time and energy.
On my third career pivot and tying my worth to productivity.
Struggling with anxiety/depression and feeling disconnected from myself.
Avoiding boundaries and communicating in ways I didn’t feel proud of.
Playing small—curious about life, but not fully living it.
With 4C, I became someone who...
Started designing my life through small experiments based on my curiosity.
Committed to consistent healing work (weekly therapy for two years).
Moved abroad solo to New Zealand and rebuilt self-trust from the ground up.
Lived in a van for 10 months and proved to myself I can handle hard things.
Solo traveled to 15+ countries and expanded what I believed was possible.
Walked away from unhealthy relationships and stopped abandoning myself.
Set and maintained clear boundaries.
Became an assertive, calm, clear communicator.
Built real confidence through compassion, curiosity, and courage.
My journey to coaching
Becoming an elementary school teacher in 2018 started my professional path towards helping people grow. For years, I helped children challenge themselves and provided a safe space to fail and explore.
However, it was in 2021 when I started practicing self-love and challenging myself that really shaped my journey to life coaching for perfectionists.
I was 26 years old and I had never been single in my entire adult life. Many of my decisions were influenced by my partnership and family because I put the others' thoughts before myself. The perfectionist in me followed societal expectations and didn't take risks. I felt trapped and wanted to escape.
When I started practicing self-love, I built the courage to leave my abusive relationship. That led to a path of self-discovery. I tried new things, reflected, and grew. The perfectionist in me softened as I didn't need to be a perfectionist to prove my worth. I learned I am so much stronger than the fears I created in my mind and I want to help people realize that too.
All the best,
Mai
