Melinda Chinen Coaching

“You help me to get from point A to point B in some of my life struggles”

What I loved about my sessions with Melinda was that she allows you to be the driver in the sessions, and she is the passenger that guides, supports and empowers you on the road you take in your life journey.

During my coaching sessions, I focused on four personal goals, and especially on my goal for wellbeing. By being able to feel good about myself, it helped me focus on the rest of my goals. Focusing on my own needs in my life is something that I needed to learn and practice. I learned to accept myself the way I am, to recognize that it’s okay to be wrong, to give myself permission to dream big, and to find the courage let my voice to be heard in my relationships.

One of the biggest take-aways from my sessions with Melinda was to understand my personal struggles and find ways to deal with them, so I can enjoy the present and be able to accomplish my life goals.

Melinda, I am very grateful that you appeared in my life at the moment when I most needed someone to guide me to a brighter and happier path. Because of your encouragement and knowledge, I am able to find my own pathways in life.

It was worth having Melinda as my coach, because without her help I would not have the tools that I now have to face the difficulties that arise in the future. Go girl, you have not only helped me to change but you are changing the world. Gracias. More...

“I came to Melinda during a transitional period in my life where I needed to take control and grow. She helped me work through a rough period as well as make and achieve goals related to money, my personal life, and a side business. Really, she empowered me to get out of my own way, to be uncomfortable and push myself towards who I want to be. I can't recommend her enough. She really has helped me grow these last 10 months and my self-commitment is on a path that I hope continues the rest of my life.” More...

Wow I wish I could find enough words to accurately describe my experience with Melinda. Her kind, creative, and honest soul were always so quick to call me out on my bullshit from a place of so much love and compassion. I could tell she wanted me to grow just as much as I did. I struggled heavy with my own confidence and owning up to my own power and every week she helped me chip away at old patterns and beliefs I had about myself and the world so that I could stop being afraid to be as vulnerable with the world as I was in sessions with her. She fostered a place where I could learn to trust myself again and from that space was able to create and implement routines, structures, and schedules which started to balance out different assets of my life. Continuously overwhelmed by the many parts of myself and the desires that seem to exist in many different realms, the structures I created helped to recognize that ALL of those parts of me are worthy and valid places to be and now I find that I have not just the recognition of the value I see in all of those parts, but am finding the time to explore them all intentionally without overwhelm and feelings of "not enough-ness". Furthermore, Melindas own vulnerability and personal shares from her own life helped me to feel less crazy and alone and click into how we are all en route to our own unfolding together. No one is perfect, no one has all the answers, no one has it all figured out... we are all just actively in pursuit of our own joy and acceptance. I recognize I am still very much on the journey as I don't feel any program or singular thing provides all the "answers" but wow am I grateful for the tools, insight, reflections, connection, and deep love that I gained from this experience to aid me as I continue navigating through this tricky life thing. If you're looking to move past perfectionism and people pleasing and learn how to love yourself and recognize the gifts you inherently have to offer into the world without apology... 15/10 recommend Melinda as your gal!

I work with Melinda in a coach training capacity, so I get to experience her coaching a variety of people. The things that strikes me about Melinda's coaching is that she has such a breadth of empathy and boldness, two things that often seem contrary to each other. With Melinda, they're a perfect match. She won't let her clients shy away from the deep desires of their souls; even people who think they don't have any can find them with Melinda's partnership. And then she has such a strong heart and voice for accountability that even your most stubborn resistance won't stand up against her. If you've got goals in business, love, or passion, be ready to really create results with her. More...

My life would not be the same without being coached my Melinda Chinen. I've experienced such an amazing transformation with 6 months of her coaching sessions. She forced me to face my vulnerability while discovering my strengths. Melinda guided me in finding the gifts that resided in my soul. She helped me conquer a lot of fears and helped me understand the obstacles I allowed to control me. After quite a lot of tears and breakthroughs, I felt my worth didn't have to depend on achievements. My worth wasn't defined by what I did, but I was worthy just by being ME. I highly recommend anyone who wants to experience more fulfillment in life to invest in Melinda. You will not regret it and you will discover that you have everything it takes to achieve your dreams!
