Biography
Before opening my coaching business in 2019, I worked as a Clinical Psychologist in private practice for thirteen years. My mission is to help women celebrate their unique identity, boldly use their voices, and proudly take up space. My business is called TulaSoul. 
Tula means 'balance' in Sanskrit, 'wind' in Finnish, and 'poem' in Filipino.
I incorporate yoga, qi gong, somatics, and meditation into my client coaching work. Since incorporating these practices into my life, I have become more grounded and centered and experienced a sense of well-being and equanimity. Incorporating mind/body/spirit practices into healing is crucial for overall health. I'm also a former psychologist specializing in trauma, and I utilize my clinical knowledge to inform my coaching.
Our lives reflect stored memories and subsequent, often suppressed emotions and behavioral patterns. I enjoy offering women the opportunity to explore their stories (svadyaya or self-study) to release emotions and behaviors that interfere with their ability to live with confidence and integrity. It is an honor to witness an individual grow through the coaching process and work toward enlightenment.
I am a passionate social activist and volunteer with Humanize My Hoodie, an organization that uses education, fashion activism, outreach, workshops, etc., to teach anti-racism and social equality. My hobbies include reading, writing, traveling, yoga, learning new things, and spending time with family and friends.
