What is Coaching Psychology?
Hi, I'm Iza.
In each session, my goal is to create a nurturing space where clients can gain profound self-understanding and foster a deeper connection with themselves—embracing all facets of who they are, including their body. Drawing inspiration from my personal heroes of psychology like Dr. Clarissa Pinkola Estés, Carl Rogers, and Peter Levine, I support clients in reintegrating wounded aspects of themselves, facilitating movement past stuck points, processing their experiences, and forming new neural pathways through transformative embodied experiences. My aim is to empower clients to build a life that reflects the effort they invest in their personal growth.
I work remotely via Zoom. I occasionally offer face-to-face sessions in Shanghai

🌱 Facilitating Growth: Helping gifted individuals not just reach their goals but unleash their extraordinary potential is immensely rewarding and inspiring.

WHY WOULD YOU WANT TO WORK WITH ME?
My aim is to assist people in fulfilling their potential and feeling empowered in their personal and working environments. My services are personalized to meet everyone's unique needs. With my background in psychology, coaching, counseling, and somatic training, I integrate a holistic approach that addresses emotional, mental, psychological, and spiritual aspects of well-being.
My approach: My work is rooted in an understanding of the nervous system and is informed by mindfulness, neuroscience, polyvagal, and attachment theory. The main idea is that knowing and accessing your resources soothes your nervous system, and a well-regulated nervous system leads to better outcomes in all areas.
Through our work together, you will:
Develop a deeper self-awareness of your core needs and values.
Explore techniques to enhance your mind-body connection, facilitating the release of stress, trauma, and tension stored in your body.
Improve your psychological well-being by mastering effective communication of your needs, preferences, and boundaries.
Learn strategies to manage stress, navigate challenges and transitions, and make empowered choices in both personal and professional spheres.
With your consent, I may integrate somatic interventions and psychoeducation into our sessions as needed.
What my clients are saying:

The somatic EMDR work we’ve done together has been deeply empowering, providing a safe space where wisdom from within can emerge organically. These sessions have given me profound insights and helped me develop a deeper appreciation of my internal landscape.
Each session with Iza feels like a gift, and I am incredibly grateful for her skill, warmth, and guidance on this journey. Thank you, Iza, for holding incredible space while I connect within. - Amanda L
