Hi, I’m Quyen!
I can help you work through issues stumping you—big or small.
In my coaching and consulting work, I use a lens of empathy and compassion, rooted in an understanding of power structures.
I also design and facilitate programs, retreats, and conferences.
Interested in generating new ways of thinking, building harmonious relationships and teams, and/or working through blockages?
Let’s chat.
