My Approach

My approach is practical, evidence-informed and human. I help women and couples make sense of significant life transitions and make decisions with greater clarity and confidence.

My coaching practice centres on matrescence, the developmental transition into motherhood and the physiological, psychological and social changes it can bring. These changes can reshape your identity, priorities, relationships and experience of work.

As an ICF Associate Certified Coach (ACC) and a Certified Professional Co-Active Coach (CPCC), I use a whole-person approach that looks beyond the immediate challenge to how you think, make decisions and want to live. Coaching combines reflection with practical action, helping you understand what matters now and make choices that reflect it.

I am also a certified Bringing Baby Home Educator through The Gottman Institute, which informs my work with couples preparing for and adjusting to parenthood, particularly around communication, connection and conflict.

(Re)Define: Motherhood on Your Terms

Signature Coaching Program

Motherhood is one of the most significant transitions a woman goes through in her life yet, most women are left to figure it out alone.

(Re)Define: Motherhood on Your Terms is a structured one-to-one coaching program for women who want dedicated space to make sense of how motherhood has changed them and decide what they want this stage of life to look like.

Together, we explore the areas most affected by matrescence, including identity, values, relationships, career, support, boundaries and the mental load of family life.

The program combines reflection with practical tools to help you clarify what matters now, identify what is no longer working and make intentional changes to how you approach your work, relationships and everyday life.

This program is for you if you:

  • Felt like a version of yourself no longer fits, but you’re not sure what comes next

  • Wanted more clarity, space, or support, but didn’t know how to ask for it

  • Questioned how to balance career ambition with motherhood without losing yourself in either

  • Felt disconnected from yourself, your partner, or your work

  • Struggled with guilt, pressure, or competing expectations from all directions

What you’ll walk away with:

  • A clearer understanding of how motherhood has changed your identity, priorities and needs

  • Greater clarity about what matters now and the decisions you want to make

  • Practical strategies for boundaries, support, relationships and mental load

  • A clearer direction for work, family and the next stage of your life

What’s included:

  • (Re)Define is a 10-session coaching program, with each session lasting 60 minutes. The program follows a structured framework covering the key areas affected by matrescence, while allowing us to adapt individual sessions to what is most relevant to you.

  • If a particular topic is less useful for your situation, we can replace it with another area you would like to explore while keeping the 10-session structure.

  • Sessions can be held in person in Hong Kong, online, or through a combination of both. I work with clients globally.

Transition to Parenthood Coaching

A group of people, including children and adults, walking on a sandy beach towards the ocean. The sky is clear and a rocky hill is visible in the distance.

Transition to Parenthood Coaching

Transition to Parenthood Coaching supports couples as they navigate one of the biggest relational and identity shifts of their lives. Grounded in the evidence-based research of The Gottman Institute, this coaching helps partners strengthen communication, maintain emotional connection, and build intentional foundations for family life during the often overwhelming transition into parenthood.  

Together, we explore the practical and emotional realities that emerge after a baby arrives, including stress, shifting roles, conflict, loneliness, intimacy changes, and the pressure of balancing individual needs with partnership and family life.

Through guided conversations and structured tools, couples learn how to navigate conflict more constructively, deepen friendship and appreciation, and create shared rituals, values, and ways of connecting that support long-term relationship resilience.      

This work is designed for couples who want to move beyond simply “surviving” early parenthood and instead approach this transition with greater awareness, communication, and intention.

This program is for you if you are:

  • Preparing for your first baby

  • Adjusting to life with a new baby

  • Experiencing more conflict or disconnection since becoming parents

  • Wanting to strengthen your relationship before problems become entrenched.

What you’ll walk away with:

  • A clearer understanding of how becoming parents may change your relationship

  • Practical tools to communicate more effectively and manage conflict

  • Stronger connection and a shared approach to parenting and family life

  • Greater clarity around expectations, roles and responsibilities at home

  • A plan for protecting your relationship as you adjust to parenthood

How Individual Coaching Works

For individuals who want coaching support without following a structured program, individual coaching is available as a five-session package.

You set the agenda based on what is most relevant to you. Sessions might focus on a specific decision or transition, or give you space to work through several areas over time. Rather than following a predetermined framework, we decide together where each session would be most useful.

Each session is 60 minutes and can take place in person in Hong Kong, online, or through a combination of both. I work with clients globally.

Unlimited WhatsApp support is included between sessions for reflections, questions and support as you put what we discuss into practice.

  • “From our first session, I felt instantly safe and understood. It felt personal, intuitive, and genuinely supportive. Working with Tingi gave me a deeper sense of connection to my body and confidence in my decisions. If you’re stepping into motherhood for the first time, or even thinking about it, this kind of support is something I now see as essential.”

    — Nicole Butler

  • “Tingi's Transition to Parenthood program helped us to properly think about what kind of parents and partners we wanted to be, where our gaps might be, and what tools would help us navigate such a massive life transition as a team. The Gottman-based tools and role plays gave us a shared language and foundation to work from.”
