About Heidi
It is a pleasure to meet you!
I am a Mother Wound Coach.
I help women heal their mother wounds so they can break free from pain, guilt, self-sabotage and create a life of inner peace, empowerment and powerful relationships.
Growing up, I was the youngest of five children born to immigrant parents who were arranged and forced to marry.
My parents had many issues, conflict, and no tools to help them. And marrying young, they didn’t get the opportunity to learn critical relationship skills vital to building a healthy marriage. My parents also unknowingly brought their childhood wounds and generational trauma into their marriage and family.
Witnessing my parents’ toxic relationship throughout my upbringing, I knew there would be a lot to learn about relationships.
At age 19, I embarked on a lifelong journey of self-discovery and personal growth, initially to heal the relationship with my mother.
I started with therapy, and later expanded to coaching and various growth programs.
In navigating my relationship with my mother, I often found myself struggling internally with heartache, confusion, and emotional turmoil. And from that, came self-sabotaging thoughts, a hyperactive inner critic, blame, judging, identity confusion and more.
My mother also meant the world to me. She was my primary caregiver and gave up her life to raise my siblings and I. I needed to find a way to build a healthy relationship with her—and through my work and healing, I did.
I transformed the relationship with my mother, the relationship with myself, and my life—including how I parent. I healed my upbringing and mother wounds, generational trauma, and I broke the cycle, so my 15 yr. old son will never be exposed to my generational trauma nor inherit it. This is my biggest win of all, saving my son from all I endured.
I healed a long list of items, including:
people pleasing
self-sabotaging thoughts
perfectionism
unhealthy relationship patterns
unhealthy behaviors in parenting and marriage
unhealthy communication and conflict
always seeking guidance externally vs. looking within
And I now have:
self-prioritization & self-compassion
self-acceptance & unconditional self-love
inner trust
healthy communication & conflict
boundaries
the ability to be vulnerable, identify, feel and express my emotions
healthy behaviors in marriage & parenting
In 2022, I decided to transition careers to utilize my life’s work for a greater purpose and help more people heal. I left my three-decade corporate marketing career, completed a rigorous nine-month coaching training program, and graduated among the top percent of my class as a Certified Master Life Coach.
I’ve helped hundreds of people work through and heal various relationship struggles and eventually decided to focus my practice on mother-daughter relationships where I feel I can make the greatest impact.
It all starts with coosing you, and deciding you are worth more and deserve better.
