Meet Liu
PhD Scientist Turned Life Coach
ICF Level 1 Trained, ACC Credential in ProgressI spent years in scientific research and the biotech industry, believing I had become the successful, independent and strong woman I was supposed to be. After becoming a mother, I began questioning what success really meant to me and what I wanted most in life. That unsettling feeling got me stop and look inward. That journey of reading, writing and self-reflection eventually led me to coaching.Today, I bring the curiosity of a scientist and the presence of a coach to my work. Through deep listening and thoughtful questions, I help clients untangle complex thoughts, uncover hidden assumptions, and discover new perspectives and possibilities.What I find most rewarding is watching people discover that the answers they've been looking for were within them all along.
Do Any of These Sound Familiar?
1) You're facing an important life or career decision, but you're unsure which direction to take.

3) You're happy with parts of your life, but still wonder whether you should be something more.
4) You feel overwhelmed by work, responsibilities, or expectations, and wonder if something needs to change.
5) You want to better understand yourself, your needs, and the repeating patterns that may be holding you back.
