Helping Asian professionals thrive personally and professionally

I specialize in bringing a cultural lens to personal growth.
My coaching model addresses the root cause of self-doubt, perfectionism, stress, and anxiety so you can realign with your authenticity and achieve peak performance in all the things that truly matter. With tools and skills to express your leadership authentically, thriving happens naturally, both personally and professionally.

Meet Amanda

Hi there, I'm Amanda! A second generation Chinese Canadian, outdoor enthusiast, world traveller, dog mom, my grandma's bestie, and your coach.

I spent 15 years climbing the corporate ladder and working myself to the bone because I believed career success was worth any cost. I felt immense pressure to work harder to meet and exceed expectations, but no amount of achievement could help me escape the nagging feeling that I was somehow behind. 

After years of working with various coaches, mentors, and therapists,  getting certified at the Coaching Training Institute, and training with the Asian American Justice and Innovation Lab, I've learned the essential role culture plays in how we show up in this world. I now understand healthy thriving in career and life is possible, and have made it my mission to share it with the world through ATTICA.

My Ideal Clients

Below are some examples of individuals I work with.
  • Professionals reaching a career plateau

    You're noticing your career growth is stagnating despite continuous effort and high achievement on duties performed. You may begin to feel frustrated because you know you have so much more to offer, but for reasons unknown to you, you keep getting passed up for promotions.

  • High achieving individuals striving for peak performance 

    You feel you have made significant strides in your career, checked every box, succeeded in all the ways you were told to succeed, and somehow you are still not landing where you want to be. The inputs are no longer adding up to the outputs and you're ready to make some changes, but don't know how.

  • Burnt out professionals looking for a new way forward

    You are starting to feel frustrated, helpless, maybe even depressed and exhausted with your search. You're worried and confused whether you're inadequate and don't know where else to look for help and guidance.

  • People managing a personal a life transition

    You are about to navigate a life change and know how important it is to do this well. Maybe you're contemplating a career change, about to start a new relationship, move homes, or cities, or your child or parent is about to enter a new stage of life. You don't know how to best prepare yourself and might be feeling anxious because you want to make sure you are doing everything you can to do it right.

What my clients are saying: 

Elaine Lam, Registered Nurse
"One session with Amanda helped me be at peace with my authentic self more than all my counselling sessions combined. Amanda is really easy to talk to and really understands the unique complexities of being a second-generation Canadian and having immigrant parents/families. She helps navigate some of the toxic mentalities that often come with being second-generation Canadian and offers practical exercises that can be integrated into your daily life."
Adrianna Ng, Community Development Manager
"Amanda is a thoughtful, affirming, and encouraging coach. When I was struggling to figure out my career, she helped me define and visualize what it looks like to have a job that I care about. She also helped me improve my communication skills in relationships and allowed me to reflect on my past behaviour. Every time I had a session with her, it felt like I gained a new perspective of myself. Thank you so much, Amanda!"
Andrew Ramos, Consultant
"Amanda is able to help me look within by asking seemingly easy questions that unlock points of discovery. It feels like I'm picking up a crucial building block every time I answer, and that I am able to start stacking these blocks to eventually discover something that I actually care about. It opens up the possibility to become the person I want to be, rather than to stay complacent. I am a better leader because of her support."
