I met with Irene for career and job hunting advice. Â What I like about her style is how she incorporates mental health ideas into the job hunt approach and strategy. Â Most career advice online tell you to say this, write that, or act in the socially acceptable way. Â But Irene was able to read my insecurities and turn the mental blocks around so they won't affect my job search or my behavior in interviews in a negative way. Â Â I will definitely be back when I come across another challenge in my career. More...

Before even mentioning coaching, I just have to say that Irene is one of the most genuine, emotionally intelligent souls I ever met. She isn't just kind, she has always been encouraging, going out of her way to be there for you and believing in you before you believe in yourself.She recently offered some career advise during a particular challenge at work and with her encouragement but thoughtful advise, I was able to get back on my feet, meet the right people and get my career back on track. I definitely recommend Irene to anyone out there trying to get an outside perspective on a decision or general advise, because we can all definitely use it. I couldn't have done it without Irene!

I've been working with Irene for the last three months with two goals in mind: 1) Improve awareness and practice of my nutrition 2) Develop a consistent workout schedule. Three months later and I've acheived so much. I've gotten the confidence to explore my interests unapologetically. (I'm 5'2 and have started playing basketball), and am working out almost daily. I've built an inherent awareness to what I'm purchasing at the grocery store and have am mindful about what I'm eating overall. I never had the goal to lose weight, but that's happening, too. I never had the goal to rethink my career path and that's happening, too.Most importantly, Irene is easy to talk to. She's nonjudgemental, patient, and supportive. It is because of her patience and guidance that I've made as much as progress as I've had. I'm stubborn as hell and I've changed so much for the better! Thank you, Irene! More...

I have nothing but good things to say about Bay Wellness Coaching. I was feeling stuck in life but didn't feel comfortable consulting with friends and family. Then I found Irene. She helped me by simply asking questions that helped me realize solutions I never even thought of. She was very easy to talk with, non-judgemental, and made sure I was persistent with my course of actions.If you're in the slightest rut, I recommend giving this a try! More...

I met with Irene for a coaching session and I'm so much better off having done so :)Irene is knowledgeable about many different areas, including LGBT topics, diet, fitness, dating and relationships, and overall wellness. When we met, I told Irene that I wanted to work on improving my diet and get more involved in the queer community. Irene was an immediate help and suggested some action items, including things I never would have thought of. Irene is well-connected in the queer community and I've already met cool people through her. She suggested that I schedule a lunch event at work to meet new people, which I did and it was a success. I had also been putting off making a doctor's appointment, and she gave me a direct link to the online portal I needed to go to, which went above and beyond my expectations and made the process seamless. It really helped to have Irene break things down into manageable steps. To top it off, Irene is flexible in terms of timing and location, which makes meeting with her very convenient.Irene continues to follow up with me and encourage me, and it really helps to have her to bounce ideas off of and to keep me accountable. I'm thankful that Irene has been giving me the support and push I need to complete the tasks that I've been putting off for a while, and to make progress toward my goals. She was willing to adapt a plan to my specific circumstances, which was just what I needed. I highly recommend Irene as a coach--she's knowledgeable, patient, a good listener, and a kind and considerate person. Thanks for everything, Irene! More...

Irene has been working with me for the past two years on overall life coaching. She is incredibly well grounded and wise in all the major areas I’ve been focused on including fitness, career, relationships. One particular things I appreciate about Irene is she meets everyone where they are and makes a customized plan of action to progress on goals! LGBTQ inclusive. More...

I started working with Irene a few months ago when I wanted to get back into better shape and start exercising regularly. It had been a long time and my physical abilities were very limited . Irene was extremely understanding and started me off with easier exercises so I could get back into it. She slowly increased my exercises each week and helped me accomplish goals and exercises that I haven't been able to do in years! She's helped me find more confidence and be less worried about exercising in public, which was something I always struggled with. She always pushes me to do better and is extremely encouraging every step of the way! I feel my stamina, abilities, and confidence increasing every week. More...

What's more important than your health? Irene is the perfect companion to help you along your journey to a healthier life. She is intuitive, holistic, and knowledgeable about her work, making the experience much easier than going it alone. In my experience, I found her to be a huge asset to reach my wellness goals and I do not hesitate in giving her the highest possible recommendation!There is an old saying that the man who says "i'll worry about it tomorrow" when talking about his health won't be around to see tomorrow. Put on the oxygen mask for yourself first and you'll breathe air into every area of your life!Thanks Irene!! More...

Holistic support.About a month ago, I was fortunate to have had a 1:1 life coaching session with Irene. There were some personal life goals I was struggling to make progress on, including regular exercise and continuation of my Mandarin learning. Irene listened patiently, adding guiding questions to better understand what my priorities and perceived constraints (mainly time and cost) were. After back-and-forth discussion, during which Irene was taking notes, Irene suggested some action items for me to try and assessed whether or not they would be feasible. We decided that once-a-week check-ins were best for me, and after our session, she sent me a succinct summary of the recommendations. One week later, she checked in on my progress, giving me the opportunity to provide feedback on how certain strategies were playing out. To encourage me to practice my Mandarin, she started texting me in Mandarin! Now, four weeks out, I can confidently say that having Irene as my cheerleader was the reason why I've incorporated online barre classes into my weekly routine and registered for Chinese classes at CCSF for the fall semester. And my life feels much more balanced and accomplished!As a life coach, Irene has the making of a great healthcare provider: kind, patient, approachable, perceptive, and accountable. As other reviewers have mentioned, she has an incredible arsenal of resources and stories that help you feel comfortable and supported. Sometimes, we all need that one friend to help push us in the right direction, and that person is Irene. More...

I highly recommend Irene! I've worked with Irene in the past and had a few informal career conversations with her, but recently had a formal 1:1 career counseling session with her because I'm considering a career change. Irene is extremely kind, knowledgeable, and action-oriented. She took time to understand my current career situation and goals. Growing up Asian American and landing a pretty stable job, Irene knew what it was like to be in my position. I wasn't sure how to approach next steps and she outlined how I could take small steps before making any major changes. Given my circumstances she gave me a couple of items to start working on towards my goals and followed up with me the week after to check in on my status. What took me months to achieve I was able to do in a week just with Irene's guidance and encouragement. I'm very grateful to have her as a coach as I figure out my career. She's one of the kindest people I know, a great listener and coach. Thank you Irene! More...

I receive nutrition and fitness advice from Irene. As for someone who is usually too lazy to cook (me!), I find Irene's food recipes very easy to follow. I am now more aware of what I put in my body, and live a more active lifestyle. I would recommend Irene to anyone seeking nutrition or fitness advice. More...

I’ve been working with Irene for a few years now. Irene has the ability to foster intimate connections with her clients by using her strong emotional intelligence. She treats her clients with respect and guides them in an encouraging direction. Irene is a champion for my career growth and relationship developments. She coaches me in both my professional and personal realms by providing practical actionable steps towards progression. She’s extremely knowledgeable about career options and expanding relational networks. I went from starting my career as a Sales Representative, and with Irene’s support, I am now working in my dream job as a Project Manager. More...

I enjoy working with Irene! She is a knowledgeable instructor, very supportive and friendly. She encourages me during my workouts but is very aware of safety and making sure I don't overuse my body or get injured, which I truly appreciate. She is also patient when I asked her advice on injury prevention and treatment (I have some lower back problems) and she gave me great advice and light workout drills to improve my condition. More...

Irene has always been my go-to with life coaching especially her advice about relationships. I would say her advice can easily make her a New York Times best seller when compiled into a book. Her advice isn't just simple and practical but gets to the point. I always value her opinion on all items in my life. More...
