About Jean

I’m a guide for the Deep Thinkers, Rising Rebels, and Sensitive Souls — here to support those navigating life’s turning points with courage, alignment, and soul.

Together, we walk the path toward a life shaped by love, truth, and freedom

My journey began as a quiet girl afraid to speak or fall. Today, I guide others as they rise into the lives they were born to live in powerfully aligned ways.

What I Bring Into This Work

I work with intuition and structure — blending deep listening with strategy to support life transitions that feel true to the soul.

My superpower is seeing people’s brilliance, often before they see it themselves - one of my strengths as a Human Design Projector. I guide clients to recognise their strengths, honour their inner voice, and take heartfelt action from a place of self-trust.

Whether you’re standing at the edge of a life decision, career change, or deeper self unravelling, I’m here to guide you with courage, love, and clarity.

My Story of Transformation

From Shy Girl to Courage Coach: My Journey Begins

I was a shy little girl from Hong Kong who did what she was told. I had a deep fear of falling — physically and metaphorically. Climbing anything above knee height left me with shaking legs and tear-filled eyes. Floating in the ocean was terrifying; I needed both parents holding me up, and if one hand slipped away, I’d scream so loud the beach would stop and look.

I wasn’t just afraid of falling — I was afraid of failing. Of letting down the adults who loved me. Of not measuring up. I longed for the steady hand to guide me: someone to say, I’ve got you. You’ve got this.

That safety net vanished when we moved to Australia at age five. Overnight, I lost my familiar foods, my grandparents, aunts and uncles. I was plunged into a world where people spoke weirdly, and the world seemed so much bigger. The cocoon that held me disappeared, and I had to stand on my own.

What I didn’t realise at the time was that the very fear that shook me would become the fire I now help others walk through. Those early moments were the first sparks of my courage story.

Growing Up Between Worlds: How I Found My Voice

When we arrived in Australia, my world shifted. The language, the landscape, even the bread — it all felt strange. School was especially jarring. I barely spoke English, and every class left me feeling behind and ashamed.

I learned quickly that copying the other kids — their words, their rhythm, the way they moved — was my way in. I wasn’t just learning a new language, I was learning how to belong.

I often spoke up, even when it made me unpopular. Integrity mattered more than fitting in. And though I couldn’t name it then, my courage had begun to take shape.

My courage fire started to burn

When Fear Meets Fire: Discovering My Inner Strength

What shifted was realising that I could never compromise my truth, for mediocrity. In order to fit in. It was a battle — the numerous lunchtimes spent in hiding so I wouldn’t be teased, yet longed to be part of games — tags, skipping, marbles — was alive in me.

I learned to have my own back. I studied hard, pushed myself in martial arts, and built my inner fire to stand on my own. I found strength in solitude. I started stoking my courage fire to stand up for myself - not only was it key for survival, but my ticket to a thriving future.

My Inner Strength eventually became my Superpower

Why I Choose to Live Courageously — Again and Again

That courage — first sparked in playgrounds and martial arts — never left me. It grew with me, shaped by every decision, every threshold moment that asked: Will you listen to fear, or to truth?

Decades later, that same courage fire still fuels me. It’s what allows me to live intuitively — to trust the whispers of my heart, even when they don’t make logical sense.

I’ve made decisions that have gone against the grain of family expectations, societal norms, or career logic — I was rebelling the norms in ways that aligned with my heart.

I’ve followed the pull of my heart over strategy. Said yes to what scared me. Let go of what no longer aligned, even when it looked “successful” from the outside.

Choosing courage isn’t a one-off exercise — it’s a practice. A muscle. A way of being that’s become my compass.

And everytime I’ve chosen it, life opens.

Corporate to Courage Coaching

My path hasn’t followed a straight line — it’s been a courageous weave through sectors, stories, and self-explorations.

I’ve navigated several major career changes: from Technical Writer to Banker, International Development Worker, and Corporate Partnerships Executive. Across private, government, and non-profit sectors — from family violence prevention to higher education — I was always drawn to roles where purpose and people intersected.

But something deeper kept calling. I took two self-funded sabbaticals that changed my life. The first brought me to Argentina for three months, where I studied tango, immersed myself in Spanish, and reconnected with vitality and connection in my body. The second was a year of deep healing and personal growth — a time devoted to slowing down, shedding old identities, and returning to myself.

These sabbaticals were sacred — spaces where my courage expanded and my next chapter revealed itself.

I trained as a Life Coach and became a Certified Biodanza Facilitator. Through this transition, I began to reconnect with what it means to really live. I remembered how to soften, how to feel again, and how to trust the quiet wisdom within me.

These career transitions are my constant tweaks to my path and returning to soul. And it’s from this place that I now guide others: through their own transitions, thresholds, and transformations.

I know what it means to stand at the edge of change — and to choose courage, again and again.

Embodying Courage, Vulnerability, and Soul-Led Living

To learning what it means to be a woman again — allowing and accepting my expression and receptivity to be alive in my body once again, after decades of squashing it.

Allowing my vulnerability to be my guide in relationships with men, and embracing my yin qualities of flow, softness, intuition, and openness in my relationships — allowing a deeper and more expanded level of connection that my soul longs for.

I stopped second guessing my worth and started to remember to live in alignment with who I am born to be — and creating my life, my physical manifestation, to align with this. To take the courageous steps that society/family tells me are too risky — because the calling from within me is way too loud to be quietened and be ordinary.

Let’s Walk (or Dance) This Path Together

If any part of this story felt familiar — the quiet longing, the crossroads, the fire beneath the fear — know that you’re not alone.

This is the work I now hold space for: guiding women and men to reconnect with their truth, navigate life transitions, and take aligned, courageous action.

My approach is intuitive, embodied, and deeply personal. I bring curiosity into the everyday — gently questioning societal norms and helping you make choices that honour your soul’s direction, not just what the world expects.

Whether you're seeking clarity in your career, relationships, or life path, I’m here to walk beside you — not to tell you what to do, but to help you remember what’s already true.

If you're standing at the edge of your own becoming — unsure, tender, but ready — let's explore what your courage might look like.

This isn't just my story. It's your invitation to return, rise, and remember.
