You deserve to make yourself a priority. Invest in yourself.

With 20+ years as a leader in the tech industry, I understand how frustrating it can be to feel stuck in life. I’ve delivered multimillion dollar projects and programs to top Fortune 500 companies but I didn’t reach my next level of success until I prioritized my own inner healing, which unlocked real trust in my triggers, body signals, inner wisdom + intuition.

Through evidence-based self empowerment and energy healing support, I got there and you can too.

It’s head + heart to integrate all the parts of ourselves into our work so we can bring both ease and efficiency back into all areas of our lives.

Let’s book a FREE 30 minute discovery call to see if working with me is a good fit for you.

💥 Burnout isn’t a personal failure — it’s a nervous system response to a work culture that values productivity over people. I didn’t learn that until it nearly took me out.
I used to think if I just worked harder, kept up with the men, pushed down my feelings and out-toughed the system, I’d be seen, valued, and safe in my career.

(Hi 👋🏼 tech industry girl here! Early in my career, I’d easily be surrounded by a 75-to-1 ratio of stinky boys in the office — not a metaphor)

I used to wear my “get it done” masculine energy like a badge of honour. It helped me climb the ladder, yes…
But in my mid-30’s it also brought me miscarriages, burnout, adrenal crashes, hormone chaos, anxiety and a deep disconnect from who I really was.

Turns out, being in constant fight-or-flight is not the flex we thought it was.

The missing piece? Learning how to regulate my nervous system and reconnect with my feminine intelligence — the intuitive, compassionate, creative parts of me I had buried to survive – and teach it how to dance (not conflict) with my masculine “get it done” energy – now with healthy boundaries, balance & rest.

It changed everything.

💫 How I lead.
💫 How I speak up.
💫 How I set boundaries.
💫 How I value win/win situations and healthy repair
💫 How I receive support, instead of over-functioning & over-giving.

This isn’t about becoming “softer.”
It’s about becoming whole.

If you’ve ever felt like you had to harden to be taken seriously — this post is your permission slip to soften without losing your edge.

🧠 Nervous system regulation is leadership work.

💗 Balancing your feminine + masculine energy is legacy work.

In times like these, we are all feeling the impact of current events around the world.

Genocide in Gaza.
Protests for immigrant rights across the United States.
Wildfires in Manitoba and Saskatchewan.
LGBTQIA+ rights being targeted around the world.

These are just a few of the many chronic social issues we face around the globe.

Reiki, meditation and coaching helps change us from within but we also need to all do our part to change the world around us as well.

Wellbeing includes Justice.

When we remember our humanity, we remember what we have to fight for.

We care for each other and we remember that is where the true healing lies.

Another year around the sun and I am reflecting on four of the biggest lessons for this Gemini-gal this year!

1. Turns out I wasn’t just overwhelmed & anxious - I was undiagnosed.

Like so many women, I’d didn’t get diagnosed with ADHD until last year (my late 40s) - right around the same time perimenopause came in hot. This season cracked me open in the best way. I learned that my past or “just powering through” was no longer working, and meant I needed to actually honour what I needed in each moment. It’s been one of the most liberating (and helpful) self-advocacy gifts of my life.

2. Teen boys *may* roll their eyes - and then surprise you.

We did something different as a family and kicked off 2025 with a “Year in Review” ritual which started with sighs and sarcasm then turned into honest conversation, reflections and even some unexpected hugs. Emotional intelligence and connection grew in my teens when we met them with patience, curiosity and shared the human side of our flaws/learnings as parents and the occasional nervous system regulation pause. This simple practice helped us bond in ways that made my Mama/Auntie heart melt.

3. Solo time isn’t selfish - it’s sacred.

For the first time ever, I spent a solo week in Playa del Carmen, MX. I held space for my clients, my tech work AND FOR MYSELF. The alone time brought clarity I didn’t know I was craving.

It reminded me that when we take an occasional break from the busy-ness of life and parenting - even briefly - we recalibrate. We return more grounded, creative, and clear.

4. My people held me - and I let them.

Parts of the last year brought big feelings, big surprises, big changes and big “WTF is happening?” moments. In all of it, my people showed up. They reminded me I don’t have to carry it all alone. I have a tendency to be hyper-independent and not want to burden others but I’m healing that and I’ve never been more grateful for the one who get it - and get me.

So thank you for being here and being part of the journey. I’m so grateful for all the lessons we are learning together and I can’t wait to see what’s next! 💛

✨ This Asian Heritage Month, I’m honouring the sacred roots of the healing practices I’m privileged to share.

Usui Reiki, founded by Dr. Mikao Usui in Japan, and the Chakra system, rooted in ancient Indian spiritual traditions, have both profoundly shaped my healing journey—through grief, solo motherhood, and burnout.

♥️ Reiki taught me how to feel safe in my body again.

♥️ Chakra healing helped me release the emotional weight I was carrying.

Today, I hold space for others with deep reverence for these lineages. The modality I practice—Holy Fire®️ Usui Reiki—is a modern evolution of Reiki that blends ancient wisdom with gentle, powerful energy.
As a non-Japanese, non-South Asian practitioner, I’m committed to sharing these tools with humility and care. That means:

♥️ Naming and honouring their cultural origins

♥️ Teaching with accuracy, respect, and integrity

♥️ Uplifting Asian voices in the healing space

These traditions have not only helped me heal—they’ve helped me thrive in my life, career & overall wellbeing. And I’ll always be grateful. 🌸

👋🏽 Hi — it’s been awhile! For those that are new here, I wanted to introduce myself - the heart, mind & soul behind the AE account.

A little about me …

♊️ I’m a Gemini Sun / Ta**us Moon / Libra Rising

🙋🏼‍♀️ I’m a Manifesting Generator (in Human Design), hence my multi-passionate nature & interest in a variety of life experiences.

🌲I live in North Vancouver, Canada and grew up in central BC.

❤️‍🩹 I experienced my first death (of a friend) at 14 years old and lost multiple close family members over the course of the next 7 years, putting me on a path of healing grief, heartache & fear of sudden loss from a very young age.

✨I started studying personal development, positive psychology & taking personal growth workshops from 16 years old.

👩🏼‍💻For the last 21 years I’ve been working in video games/tech leadership & operations roles for Fortune 500 companies & startups (by day)

💫 In 2013 I became a certified holistic wellness coach & started Avid Earthling while learning to heal my adrenal fatigue, stress-related health issues & going through a difficult marriage separation.

👏🏽 In 2017 I started receiving Reiki every month, which helped me reach a deeper level of healing from long-term grief, trauma & challenging relationship dynamics.

💖 In 2019 I became a Level 3 Reiki Master, sharing the positive impacts of nervous system support & energy healings with my clients.

💼 I’ve career coached & mindset mentored a large sum of tech & non-tech people, helping them land the job & salary of their dreams.

💋 I live with my love & best friend Andy (we first met 23 years ago). He is the grounding Ta**us energy, to my airy Gemini flow.

🩵We also live with & coparent my teen son & nephew (blended multi-cultural fam)

🐶 We have a loving rescue dog Hunter

🐈‍⬛ And a sassy rescue cat named Luna

☀️ Fave pastimes: daily dog walks with my coffee & a podcast, friend & family time, concerts, beach picnics, paddle boarding, roadtrips, nature walks & sunshine.

🌊 I’m happiest when I live (& vacation) near the ocean✌🏽

Thank you for being here. I love this wonderful community and it’s such an honor to be on this journey with you! 💖
