My Coaching Philosophy
Though I've been on a professional and personal path myself, and CAN put on my "mentor/advisor" hat when needed, I firmly believe that "All answers lie within us".
As your coach, I see my main role as guiding you to make a deep and honest exploration of your own inner journey. This way, you’ll discover and follow the path that feels right for YOU.

You got tea? I got a story. And I'm betting that it's probably similar to yours...
The chapters of my life in crisis ...transition...soulful inner transformation
Chapter 1: People-pleasing, Perfectionism, Hyper- achieving, Restlessness, Imposter Syndrome.
(it all started in my childhood)
Growing up with parents who were judgemental, controlling, and emotionally unavailable, I became that “good girl” who carried secret rage and resentment deep inside.
At the age of 17, I came to the US and found myself navigating the world and my rich emotions all alone. In time, my frustration and rage showed up as issues at work and in my personal life.
Personally, I became burnt out. I acted confident and happy, but inside I felt the pain of self-doubt and restlessness.
Chapter 2: Burnout, Escaping, Inner Transformation
(despite multi-six-figure success)
Despite a successful multi-six-figure career in Tech, I felt like a walking zombie. Instead of enjoying my success, I found myself fully awake at 2 a.m. soul-searching.
Most of my bonuses were spent on expensive retreats, I thought escaping through retreats, changing jobs, changing locations, or even changing my partner were the answers (I was only 20% right)
For years, I watched myself repeat similar behaviors of my parents that not only wounded me; but kept me stuck. I knew that if I didn’t dive deep to discover what was holding me back, nothing would change.
After experiencing a powerful inner transformation through Energy Leadership coaching, I got certified myself. Since then, I supported hundreds of leaders at Google and beyond with Conscious 1:1 Coaching and transformational corporate offerings.

Chapter 3: From Suffering to Inner Peace, Freedom, Joy.
"Knowing" on the intellectual level is just part of the game...
As I was sitting in my 10-day vipassana (insight) meditation retreat after a health scare, a strong intuition hit deeply inside of me. That became the best day of my life as l finally had the courage to:
- Cleanse my emotional wounds and triggers to heal holistically
- Connect my mind, heart, body, and soul for authentic clarity and wisdom
- Quiet my mind, open my heart, and master myself by taking aligned actions
I went back to my roots to master the practice of Pranayama and Vipassana meditation.
It was a practice, NOT a concept that the Buddha taught for thousands of years to transfer suffering into peace, joy, and freedom.
I devoted myself to the journey of self-discovery, healing, and mastery with curiosity, humility, focus, consistency, and patience, my state of being and doing transformed in ways I never thought possible.
I dreamed of cultivating a community where like-minded people come together to share the inner journey, and connect authentically. I've co-created retreats and the Podcast Show "Inner Journey of Conscious Leaders" with conscious leaders.
Chapter 4: Fully Alive and Aligned.
In total surrendering, I traveled from my mind to my heart.
When I thought I had it all figured out, 12,000 Googlers, my team included were laid off. It forced me to go into deeper healing and honest reflection. As I embarked on the new journey with new opportunities and challenges, I knew deep in my heart that a deeper (inner child) healing needed to take place.
I was divinely guided into Clarity Breathwork (formally known as rebirthing breathwork), Kundalini Yoga, Quantum Human Design Alignment System, Soul Movement, and tea meditation... which helped me "cross the bridge" and fully embrace my soul curriculum.
I then got trained, certified, and created Soul Alignment and retreats to support other souls for deep healing and authentic alignment.

I imagine a world where every soul wakes up each day full of energy, experiencing life and work that is not only prosperous, but supports their unique authenticity, soul purpose and well-being.
Finding a way to make this happen has become my mission.

My two cents for choosing a coach, mentor, guide…to co-create the journey
When considering a coach, mentor or guide, credentials, and experience are important – yes.
And, as you’ll be working intimately with "the person" (not their titles or techniques) you also need to make sure that you "click" personally.

Sha was very thoughtful with her coaching and mentoring approach. On weekly basis, we'd sync on specific topics where she'd address questions, provide timely training/materials, and coach me on soft skills, too.
Sha is one of the most gifted, smart Googlers I've ever worked with. I have learned a TON from her. She sets a great example for others on her team and clients love her. "
