Through the lens of self-love, I help humans reconnect with themselves through energy work and coaching.

Ever wish your life just worked?

If you could flourish and flow through your shifting roles in life, with open eyes and an open heart?

What would it feel like to…

We all start somewhere. Our collective dream of a more beautiful world is waiting to be born through individual action – and I know, the answer lies in us supporting each other in any way we can.

I’m just doing my part. 

I’m a Capricorn Sun, Cancer Moon, Aquarius Rising, INFJ-A, Enneagram Type 5, and 5/1 Generator (Heretic/Investigator) in Human Design. 🌙

How Reiki Entered My Life…

As a self-love coach, I encourage my clients to own what feels ‘alive’ for them (it’s often not what their logic tells them it is).

I started noticing a disconnect between the things we ‘convince ourselves we want’ and the lack of energy that eventually follows when we try to take action. 

That anaemic level of energy, was always telling us something… It was telling us the truth – the truth about what we actually care about, and what we actually want.

Oftentimes, it’s not something we can choose or fake. It just is.

Meanwhile, my own path as a coach started to feel confusing. There were too many things I was exploring, and too many directions I could move toward. I was spread thin.

But none of my options really tickled me inside.

🎴 I had been dabbling with oracle cards and one day, I asked the universe to help me pick a lane.

This was the guidance that came: 

“Do not try to correct in the earth what needs to be corrected in the heavens. The resources to support the change or endeavour you are considering are not readily available to you yet, so it’s important to ask for help from the invisible realms, from helpers in the upper world. For now, wait.” 

It was pretty powerful. 

This nudged me to book an Akashic Records reading✨ which I had been considering for months! 

It was through the reading, that I was first guided to explore energy work and specifically, to work with my hands – which was totally not on my radar, at all. 

Many more breadcrumbs later… and I ended up getting trained, and started practicing the Japanese ‘healing hands’ art of Reiki!

Maybe some things are written in the stars...

Born and raised in Malaysia, a shopping mall gypsy once read my palm and foretold, that I’d fall in love and end up in a land far far away…

And she was right. 🤯

While working for a corporate design firm in Hong Kong over 18 years ago, I met my future husband, we fell in love and ended up moving to his home country: Switzerland.

Being a mom came with many surprises (not all of them the good kind – physical changes and mental drain anyone?).

I remember feeling so alone in the first weeks after giving birth to my first child. I’d had a beautiful pregnancy, a loving husband, and yet there was this nagging feeling of isolation, as I transitioned from my old self into my new role.

Transitions are tough things that can either harden you or soften you… 

For me, the first few years of motherhood and marriage were a kind of bracing. I learned to get creative, solve problems, and ‘fix things myself.’ It turned me into an adept and resourceful mother, and an efficient organiser. But there was a repeating loop of productivity, overwhelm, disconnection and repair that kept happening. 

Thankfully midlife arrived. It invited me to slow down – into rhythm, flow, relationality and flexibility. It asked me to plan less, while sensing more.

I took its invitation – and here I am today… Still sensing, still finding my way, still learning while leading, and still trying to have fun while I’m at it too.

I don’t know where this path ultimately leads, but I no longer need to know. I just walk alongside it with open eyes and an open heart – and that’s enough for me.

My personal values

LOVE 💗 

Because love takes me home, to myself and to you.

CONNECTION 🕊️

Because meeting you where you are = achieving so much more together.

JOY 🎉 

Because joy keeps us ‘full’ – when we pause, eat, rest, feel, talk, hug, play, create, laugh, and dance.

INCLUSION ⚖️

Because the world needs all of our voices and lived experiences to make it whole.

*My work makes space for the most vulnerable (people of color, new mothers, the elderly, children, the injured, the sick, non-binary folks and the oppressed)

If our values align, and you’re looking for support… let’s talk.

All my love,
XOXO
SURI
