Currently 100% home-based due to the pandemic.

What’s your work background?

Worked as an online freelancer for a US-based company for three years. Then, I went to the US to be a lived-in au pair for a beautiful family of three for two years. Went back to the Philippines and became a NEET (not in education, employment, or training) for a few months.

2016 was a big year for me. I partnered with a training company and was blessed to be invited to be one of their trainers in various projects. I also joined a 90-day book writing course and was able to self-publish my book, Thank Goodness I Got Lost!, one year after I joined the program. This paved the way for me to be invited as a speaker for different events.

In 2017, I attended a coaching certification program -- purely for my own personal growth with no plans to become a coach -- but Life has other plans for me. After the program, I explored being a life coach and was blessed to have worked with amazing individuals through my coaching programs.

In 2018, I had a short stint as an online ESL (English as Second Language) teacher. At the same time, I am still doing different projects as a coach and trainer.

Currently, I feel that I am being led to a new adventure. Though what that next adventure is, it has yet to reveal itself. So, while in this moment of in-between, I continue to create and produce what wants to be created and produced through me.

Are you an ICF (International Coaching Federation) certified life coach?

No, I am not an ICF certified life coach. And currently, I do not have any plans to be certified.

What are your qualifications as a life coach and life skills trainer?

If you’re curious about the formal educational and professional qualifications, I will be transparent that I only have the 60-day coaching certification program that I took with I AM + LIMITLESS here in the Philippines. 

When I partnered with Institute for Integrality, Inc. training company, I completed several of their trainings for trainers. 

Aside from these trainings, I had basic Psychology subjects while in college.

While I value all these trainings and certifications, what I personally consider to be my “qualifications” for being a coach and trainer are my growth as I go through my life experiences; learning from various books and personal growth programs I've invested in; and exploration of what I've been discovering and executing in my daily life.

I come from the space of sharing what I resonate with. And I bring in love, empathy, understanding, compassion, non-judgment, and acceptance whenever I am holding a safe space for the people I journey with.

What are your affiliations?

No affiliations. I see myself more as a wanderer and go wherever I feel called to go, without needing to formally join groups and organizations. (Unless of course, I feel a strong pull to join.)

Are you in a relationship?

With myself, with God, with family, with friends…you get the drift! (Lol)

Be in the moment and do whatever I am feeling inspired to do.

What is your favorite food?

Pasta. And coffee. (Is coffee considered a food though? Hmmm...)

What do you do for fun?

I just follow my bliss, inspiration, interest, and/or curiosity.
