This letter is for you:
Some days, it feels like too much. Like you’re holding things together for everyone else while your own energy slowly drains away. Other people’s emotions spill onto you, their urgency becomes yours, and before you know it, you’re running on empty.
What if the overwhelm, the doubt, the overthinking—what if all of it is telling you something?
Not that you’re failing, but that something needs to change.
That’s what coaching with me is about.
It’s a space to sort through the noise, untangle what’s been weighing you down, and reconnect with the part of you that knows what you need. Whether it’s learning to hold your boundaries, learning your own value, or just taking a breath—we’ll do it together.
“Being coached by Ikey is like Pilates for the soul.”

Develop healthy self-esteem and develop a loving relationship with yourself.
Gain clarity about who you really are and what matters to you, and reclaim your identity and strength.
Recognize and stop unhelpful patterns and gain the skills to create new, healthy behaviors.
Learn how to build real self-trust and make better life decisions.
Build deeper connections with yourself and others, not from a place of fixing or pleasing, but from a grounded, secure place.
Learn to adapt and thrive, even when the world feels uncertain or overwhelming.
Learn what's acceptable for you and what's not, how to set limits and how to say no in a healthy way.
Boundaries are not walls. Learn what flexible, healthy boundaries mean and how to protect yourself and those around you while staying relational.
In our work together, you’ll learn how to connect with different parts of yourself and how to lead your life through the part in you that guides you with wisdom and compassion. My approach is based on Relational Life Therapy (RLT), inner child & Parts work, and ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy.) These are tested and powerful methodologies for healing and building a stronger, more confident sense of self.
Together, we’ll explore what truly matters to you: your core values, what brings you meaning, and how you want to shape your life moving forward. This process is rooted in understanding core beliefs and reclaiming and rebuilding your identity.
Gaining clarity in these areas is crucial in understanding yourself better and setting a clear, actionable path toward a future that feels aligned with who you are.
In our sessions, you'll learn practical tools grounded in science, such as mindfulness exercises and techniques that are based on proven approaches from the world of Relational Life Therapy and ACT. I’ll guide you in using these tools to build resilience, self-trust, and focus.
These methods are designed to strengthen your psychological flexibility, helping you stay grounded and adaptable.
Gain from my real-world experience and focused education.
I’ve lived what feels like many lives, on three continents, starting over and over, creating a home, and finally finding a sense of belonging. These experiences gave me a deep understanding of what it means to adapt, grow, and rebuild. In those “many lives,” I spent 16 years in the tech industry.
Now, in my 40s, I bring all of that experience, along with evidence-based coaching methods, to help people like you move forward with confidence, clarity, and resilience.
My leadership experience includes:
Building and leading remote teams
Recruiting and developing talent
Navigating high-pressure environments
Creating strong, collaborative cultures
Supporting individuals through transitions, conflict, and growth
Throughout my career, I found that what I enjoyed most was helping people grow, personally and professionally. This inspired my transition from tech leadership to full-time coaching, where I help clients navigate complex life and relationship challenges with empathy and pragmatism.
