Why work with me?
Award-Winning ADHD Coach | Featured Meditation Expert | Conference Speaker
Welcome to coaching where you are met and attuned to as a whole being: cognition, emotion, somatics, narrative, system. I will help you accomplish more by doing less. It’s not about forcing or fixing – it’s about doing what truly matters, in a way that works for you.
As a first-generation Asian immigrant woman with a late ADHD diagnosis, I bring both lived experience and professional expertise to our work together. I hold an M.A. in Economics and completed Jack Kornfield and Tara Brach’s rigorous 2-year Mindfulness Meditation Teacher Certification Program. I have coached hundreds of ADHD adults across cultures and life stages and was awarded Coach of the Quarter (Q4 2024) on the largest adult ADHD coaching platform—an honor given to only one coach quarterly for excellence in neurodiversity coaching.
I am a featured expert in Self Magazine on ADHD-friendly meditation alongside industry leaders like Jeff Warren and presented at the 2023 Annual International Conference on ADHD on making meditation more ADHD-Friendly.
My coaching style:
My coaching style is mindful, strategic, and multi-dimensional.
Mindful
I bring a grounded, non-judgmental presence to our coaching work, drawing from over a decade of meditation practice and evidence-based mindfulness approaches that help you observe clearly, meet what’s seen with compassion, and proceed with kindness—both toward yourself and your goals.

Praise for Ying’s 1:1 coaching:
Ying is a thoughtful, knowledgeable, patient and empathetic coach.
Before I started working with Ying, I felt as if I was on perpetual hamster wheel, working to the point of exhaustion and accomplishing little.
Because Ying knows and understands so much about how ADHD brains work, because Ying is so resourceful and patient, and because I sense that Ying feels genuine empathy and compassion for me in these efforts, I feel as if I’m in a safe place to be radically honest with myself, to be courageous about making change, and to work at it consistently.
After working with Ying, I feel as if I’m much more focused, making much better use of my time, and better able to make choices that serve my best interests.
Ying excelled at guiding me to create achievable plans and reach my goals. She helped me break down my plans. Ying offered practical examples of how to reduce task difficulty and enhance task completion.
She helped me learn from real-life situations and guided me to adjust and respond to challenges as they come.
Ying’s coaching is supportive, personalized, practical, and helpful!
I loved Ying’s coaching! I first appreciated the safe space she cultivated, where I could feel safe to really divulge what I was struggling with — and I never felt judged or negatively evaluated. This helped me be even more vulnerable and share my deepest challenges, which Ying responded to so warmly and supportively.
I also really loved the concrete strategies, tips, and advice Ying offered that helped translate my ADHD-related struggles into tangible solutions. The biggest takeaway I got from working with Ying was that smaller changes often lead to bigger change — and that totally shifted my mindset away from feeling like I always needed to make drastic moves.
Ying has such a supportive presence—working with her is kind of magical. I don’t know how she does it, but somehow things that used to feel overwhelming suddenly feel simple and totally manageable (unlike all the productivity tips that feel like a lot of effort and determination).
She’s helped me feel more confident and comfortable handling things my way, and I feel my life has become more manageable.
Ying is an attentive, caring and observant coach who is well versed in her craft. She’s helped me feel less anxious about my ADHD diagnosis, helped me understand ADHD further, and has assured me that I’m not alone as a BIPOC woman with a diagnosis in adulthood. Ying is able to hold a space with empathy while also being able to focus on solutions towards challenges I face in my life. Her coaching method is unique and authentic, and I find it very easy to communicate with her! My sessions with Ying have introduced positive changes in my life and I absolutely would recommend her as an ADHD coach!
Ying is an exceptional coach—deeply intuitive, compassionate, laughter-filled, neurodivergent-safe, and practical.
Ying holds space for complexity without trying to fix you. She positively challenged me with questions, shared resources that encouraged aligned action in my life and business. I also enjoyed opening our sessions with mindfulness and somatic work.
Ying’s work resonates deeply with folks like myself who are neurodivergent, ask big questions, and want to live a life rooted in meaning, action, spirituality, and human connection. If that’s you, I can’t recommend her highly enough.
Ying always has the ability to extract the most valuable bits from my ramblings, helping me to continuously try new methods and improve. Each coaching session gives me a boost for at least a week. I always look forward to the next session.
I’ve really enjoyed my time working with Ying and have learned some valuable tips and insights that I will continue to utilize. I walked away from every single one of our coaching sessions feeling encouraged, with a renewed sense of excitement to work towards my goals.
Frequently asked questions:
This all sounds great. How can I start working with you?
Please book a free coaching discovery call, which is a 30-minute free consultation call for 1:1 coaching. We will get to know each other a little bit as human beings. We will then explore your coaching goals, what you are looking for in a coach, talk through how coaching works, and see if it feels like a good fit for us to work together.
If none of the available times on the scheduling link work for you, feel free to email me at adhdasiangirl@gmail.com—I often have additional availability outside of what’s listed.
If some strategies aren’t working for your clients, how do you usually handle that?
If certain methods or strategies are not working for you, that is part of the learning process. There is no magic bullet here. I believe in an adaptive approach and we will adapt together often. We’ll analyze challenges, adapt used strategies as well as explore alternative strategies to suit your needs better. I encourage open discussions and open feedback along the way to ensure we stay aligned with your coaching goals and adapt our approach as needed.
