Thu is a trauma informed coach for the helpers.

She combines her lived experience in tech, trauma, burn out & chronic illness in the support of the helpers in the world — people whose life purpose is rooted in the service of people and the planet. Helpers are highly attuned to the needs of others and often mute the volume of the voice inside them. They take pride in their ability to fill other cups, lift others up until their own resources (time, money, health, happiness) run out. We need our helpers — their lifes’ work is of utmost importance, some might say, God's work.

Thu is a helper and has personally run out of all her resources in the service of helping companies, teams, entrepreneurs, family and friends reach their goals. When her body said no in 2009 with a near death experience, it would take a series of chronic illnesses (diabetes, cancer, asthma) over time to tell her to stop what she was doing and learn how to be in relationship with herself. She has spent over a decade, learning how to listen to her body and iterating through many frameworks of understanding the mind, the heart, the spirit and especially the body.

Get Acquainted With Yourself.

Thu holds space so that you can reconnect with your inner compass and inner resources so that you can be the change you want to see in the world, in skillful and regenerative ways.
