Testimonials

“I met once a month with Ling Ling over four months and it was enough to change my life. Ling Ling is an amazing listener with an incredibly calming presence. The fact that we met remotely did not diminish her ability to pick up on things I felt too nervous to say, the questions behind the questions or the root causes behind seemingly harmless situations that bothered me. Within the first 20 minutes of the first session, she was able to pick up on key thought patterns that were holding me back and offered a variety of concrete tools to try both on my own and with her. I appreciated that she never forced any idea or technique on me. She carefully and respectfully explained her recommendations and gave me space to decide if, how and when to move forward with it. I never regretted any choice I made to lean into her suggested activities. We were able to discuss everything from challenges I face as an immigrant to difficult childhood memories to fostering a culture of respect at work. It's hard to describe how much her support meant to me as a senior leader in a high growth environment. I didn't expect to use the words 'healing' and 'peacefulness' in the context of executive coaching but this is exactly what I experienced with Ling Ling. The groundedness I gained from our conversations has helped me be more effective in both my personal and professional lives. I refer to her meticulous session notes often and am a lighter and happier co-worker, boss, friend, sister and daughter because of her. I highly recommend Ling Ling.”

“Working with Ling Ling over the past two years has been nothing short of life-changing. She has helped me to understand more about myself, gained clarity about my life goals, and enabled me to experience a deep sense of joy I never thought possible. Ling Ling does this by putting her heart into being a compassionate guide who meets you where you are, a friend who walks with you - step by step - as you rewrite the story of your life. With her support, I've been able to dismantle old habits and thought patterns that no longer serve me, and build a new operating system that is grounded in my values. She also helped me to find where my energy sources are, and equipped me with tools to tackle any challenges that may arise in life's journey. I am incredibly grateful to Ling Ling for everything she has taught me and I cannot ask for a better coach!”

“Working with Ling Ling has been a profoundly transformative experience. As a female, deep tech startup CEO navigating a male-dominated industry, I’ve encountered my share of limiting narratives—about what leadership should look like, how success is built, and the role of intuition in business. Ling Ling has helped me reframe these stories, breaking through outdated concepts like glass ceilings and guiding me to build my company from a place of alignment rather than exhaustion.

Her holistic approach is unlike anything I’ve experienced before—integrating somatic work with business strategy in a way that makes space for both softness and strength. Coming from a background of relentless hustle, where I tied my worth to productivity, I’m now in a stage where I value knowledge, efficiency, and the energetic exchange of my expertise. Ling Ling has been instrumental in this shift, reminding me that I can trust myself, that I can’t get it wrong, and that there’s a more sustainable way to lead. I’m deeply grateful for her insight, warmth, and the clarity she has helped me cultivate.”

"I originally sought Ling Ling's coaching for family dynamics, but the experience evolved into a profound personal and professional transformation. Having left the corporate world to focus on family, I struggled with a loss of professional identity and confidence. Ling Ling helped me recognize the value and magnitude of the work I was doing for my family and community. She guided me to prioritize self-care and self-love as the foundation for effective leadership. Through her coaching, I have not only rebuilt my confidence but also refined my leadership skills. She is an exceptional coach who truly takes the time to understand her clients."

"Ling Ling truly is transformational in her approach. After our journey of 6 sessions, I didn’t just leave with tips, tricks, and tools, I left with a complete mindset shift – a higher capacity to deal with upheaval, a greater confidence in finding and expressing my voice, and an ability to allow myself to ‘go off script’ (for example, challenging self-imposed rigid routines- even something as deceptively simple as allowing myself to go food shopping in the middle of a work day!)

Going into coaching, I was apprehensive, expecting to be bombarded with SWOT analysis and SMART goals, and a whole other host of business acronyms. But thankfully Ling Ling’s approach is the opposite of this. I especially appreciated her visualisation, somatic techniques, and the constant blend of empathy, compassion, zero judgement and permission to play that rippled across all of our sessions. 

When I was delivering a talk in front of hundreds of people, when I was knee-deep in travel upheaval, when I underwent a transition and change in contract at work, I felt Ling Ling’s presence at every step – a little voice saying ‘It’s different, it’s uncomfortable, but you’ve got this.’ 

Ling Ling’s own background in the trenches of the corporate world, means she gets it –  she really does. She gets burn-out, motivation dips, confidence that can soar one moment and dive the next. It’s this unique blend – of her lived experience, and of her impressive repertoire of techniques that range across so many other disciplines, that makes her stand out as a truly exceptional coach."

“I had the wonderful gift of Ling Ling’s coaching over a period of 6 months and it profoundly changed me and helped me find my true self and gifts. I am forever changed and became the person I have been longing to be because of Ling Ling coaching and guidance. I am nearing the last 10 years of my career as an executive in the corporate world and was feeling anxious, insecure and unfulfilled. I wanted to feel a sense of serenity and confidence in my next chapter. In the very first session she picked up that I am an empath and helped guide me to figure out how I might leverage that as a superpower and protect my own energy at the same time. She helped me discover that I was making myself small and through visualization, insightful questioning and gentle guidance she helped me to find my voice and listen to my body so I could express myself fully and get my needs met.  Through finding my voice and understanding my own emotions and needs I was able to feel the serenity and peace I was longing for. This was because of Ling Ling wonderful, intuitive, compassionate and courageous approach to coaching. I cannot express how grateful I am that I was able to work with Ling Ling and for her guidance in helping me become who I am, profoundly changed and transformed. She partners with you to lay out goals and together we work through them, ending with a wonderful document of resourcing and tools you built along the way to refer back to when you need them. I worked with other coaches in my career and Ling Ling is by far the best, bringing her intuition to each session and respecting where you are and what you need in the moment. I highly recommend Ling Ling to anyone wanting to transform their lives.”

“I had the privilege to be coached by Ling Ling for over half a year, at arguably one of the most challenging period of my life when I was experiencing low mental health postpartum and difficulties to make progress towards my goals. Ling Ling first invited me to share and quantify concrete goals for our coaching. Sessions after sessions, Ling Ling carefully listened, asked questions, offered tools and gave homework. We also had a shared a Notion page where I shared noteworthy events that happened between sessions. Knowing she would read every single word and add extremely relevant comments and questions to invite to dig deeper made me feel extremely supported even in overwhelming times. Overtime, Ling Ling helped me come to the realisation that for me, three steps are needed to remove barriers to achieving my goals: 1) listening to my body to gain awareness of the bottlenecks, 2) peeling the layers to understand what’s underneath, 3) using tools to shift to my desired state. This is very empowering as it gives me a process that works for me and that I can trust, therefore increasing my confidence that no matter what issues happen in the future, I have what it takes in me to come out on top. Thank you Ling Ling for all that you are and all that you gave. I am immensely grateful.”

“I'm so grateful that I met Ling Ling and that she agreed to work with me. Her coaching style felt like a natural fit for what I was looking for and I enjoyed our sessions immensely. Before our formal coaching sessions began, Ling Ling took the time to get to know me, my goals and what I wanted to achieve from coaching. I felt like I was in safe hands from the outset. She was clearly well prepared for every session. Sometimes we went down paths that surprised me, but I trusted her completely and continually discovered new facets of myself and rediscovered old ones. I leave this experience with a renewed sense of self, and a set of tools and ideas that I'm certain will see me in good stead for many years to come.”

“I had the great fortune to be introduced to Ling Ling shortly after I lost my job, and entire industry, in the first US government cuts of 2025. After 20 years as an international economist, I feared for the loss of my career (and source of income). As an artist, I was also curious to see how this upheaval could create space for something even more aligned. I was mired in an exhausting tangle of desperation and hope in those early months. Ling Ling offered me much needed support and practices to help me lean into my curiosity, open my perspective, and gain direction. She is a deep listener who carefully shepherds insights into being through practical thought experiments and intuitive guidance. I am so grateful to the universe (and my friend Natalie) for bringing Ling Ling across my path!”

"What you get out of coaching depends on how much you put in. Part of it is also being in the right environment that allows for this work, and Ling Ling is very skilled at creating a safe space to allow for profound self-discovery and introspection. Her sessions, astute observations and insightful questions helped give clarity to situations and problems that I had been pondering for years on my own, and she introduced me to a variety of tools and resources that will help me get to where I want to go. If you find yourself wondering how to reach your full potential in life, Ling Ling can help you get there - invest in yourself!"

Sally L.

“My sessions with Ling were part of a short programme organised by my employer, at a difficult time in my career. Ling took steps to ensure I felt safe and secure in our sessions, confident I could speak freely without fear of reprisal by my company. Pondering a major change in my career with her, Ling was a reassuring and sometimes helpfully challenging thought partner. In the midst of our sessions, I was made redundant from my job – Ling was a brilliant support at this time. Overall, what I thought might be run-of-the-mill career advice sessions ended up going much deeper than I anticipated. My time with Ling has left me equipped with some useful tools to tackle an uncertain future.”

“Being coached by Ling Ling was deeply healing. It feels like resting on water that gently supports you and gives you all the time and space that you need to process your feelings, thoughts and experiences. Just by being with feelings that are not easy to be with, and having a coach like Ling Ling witness it, promotes such a deep sense of self-love, and self-worth, and a new perspective. Ling Ling observed how I was in relationships with these feelings/thoughts, reflected it back to me, named it, plus gently and firmly provided structures - a powerful question, a request, a visualization - that would help me to keep growing and developing new mental habits after each session. To me it felt like the best way to support life transformation. Ling Ling has a talent to provide this safe space where sustainable transformation happens. It's both therapeutic/healing, and action-oriented. Visualizations and somatic approaches often work for me, and Ling Ling is very skillful in them.”

"What Ling Ling does goes beyond coaching. She has an ability to not only listen to what you're saying about the issue or problem you're facing, but also listen to what you're not saying - and finds a way to help you work through that as well. I would recommend Ling Ling to anyone facing major growth, a challenging issue that needs quick resolution or a perspective that changes the way you look at your own. You will look at your challenges differently once you walk through them with her"

Ashley P.

“Ling Ling has a unique ability to make her presence feel close and palpable across oceans and through screens, I was struck in my session with how she cut through my busy-ness of business and within 5 minutes was creating on a more fundamental level with me; I found ling Ling to take big risks in following her intuition within the session which unlocked capacity in me to do the same and connect those risky ideas to my evolving identity and work - she is a rare breed who is as experienced in the rational realm of systematic thinking and now equally in tune with the flow, what is unmatched is her ability to weave between these two ways of being to be adaptively in service to me as a builder of bridges between new ideas and systems through experiences. Thank you Ling Ling - long may the conversations continue.”

Dave E.

"I had a wonderful coaching session with Ling Ling. She is highly insightful -- I'm amazed at how much we got out of just an hour! She also complemented discussion with a visualization exercise, which I hadn't done before and found very powerful. It's obvious how much Ling Ling cares about helping you move forward in your thinking, and I'd highly recommend speaking with her.”

Stephanie C.

"Ling Ling is a phenomenal listener. I've had a chance to connect with Ling Ling twice, and both times she showed genuine interest in learning more about my career path and vision going forward.  What makes me a fan of Ling Ling is her remarkable ability to ask exactly the right questions to elicit deep self-reflection. I strongly value Ling Ling's partnership and have the highest confidence in her ability to help leaders develop."

Vivek P.

“Ling Ling's comments are spot on. Her insights are based on her sharp intellect, coupled with high intuition and empathy. She helped me dive deep, beyond my conscious mind and into my inner wisdom, using visualizations. During our session, she helped me understand where my frustration about my career was coming from, and she also helped me see how to use this frustration constructively”

Rachel L.

"Ling Ling's coaching is like the cool ocean tides touching your feet as u sit on the shore. Excitement waiting for the tide /her session and the session goes by in a blink but leaves u with a lasting impact. It's healing , magical and full of joy. She is the most compassionate human one can ever meet in their lifetime. I thoroughly enjoyed every moment of her coaching , she is passionate about her work and her clients. She always strives to learn and bring new tools and practices to the sessions. Her authenticity touches souls!”

Salini C.

“Ling Ling is one of the more intuitive, instinctive and insightful people I have had the pleasure of engaging with. After she sets the framework of how she delivers her services, within minutes she is able to get to the heart of the issues you have laid out. Her somatic approach is especially useful as it allows you to encompass a holistic perspective of your pathways forward. She is gentle yet firm, allowing for one to get comfortable in a process that can be uncomfortable as you face certain truths. I feel excited to be working with her and look forward to our sessions.”
