Why work with a matrescence coach?

Motherhood is one of the biggest transition points in a woman’s career and a period when many organizations see a disproportionate loss of female talent.

Organizations invest heavily in developing women into future leaders, yet many struggle to retain and advance female talent during the transition to motherhood.

My work helps companies better understand matrescence, the developmental transition into motherhood, and equips women, managers, and leaders with practical tools to support retention, wellbeing, and long-term career development.

Through evidence-based talks and practical frameworks, I help organizations improve retention, strengthen leadership pipelines, reduce burnout, support successful return-to-work experiences, and build cultures where working mothers feel understood, supported, and able to thrive professionally.

Testimonials

  • “Tingi’s Lunch & Learn was a refreshing session on the transition to motherhood. What stood out most was her genuine demeanor and the safe, open space she created for honest reflection; something often missing in the busyness of the corporate world. I particularly valued her introduction of matrescence, which encouraged us to question traditional notions of what motherhood “should” look like and to be kinder to ourselves when our experiences don’t align with idealised expectations. The values exercise was a simple yet powerful reminder not to lose sight of who we are beyond our roles. We only wished we had more time to go deeper, especially on topics like mental load, the division of responsibilities between spouses, and how these dynamics evolve over time. A meaningful and much-needed conversation that we hope to continue.”

    —Vivien Siu, Swire Properties

  • “Tingi is an exceptionally gifted Training Lead and Facilitator. Her skills were instrumental during a recent APAC team skill development event focused on leadership and career growth. Her ability to design engaging, high-impact internal training sessions is top-tier. As a facilitator, Tingi has a truly solid presence. She has an innate ability to build trust quickly creating a safe space for deeper conversation amongst the group. Every session she delivered also ended with clear learnings and tangible takeaways for the team. Any team looking for a leader who can not only build a curriculum but also deliver it with polished expertise would be lucky to have her.”

    —Hung Yu Lin, Google

  • “Tingi is a facilitator who brings clarity, structure, and forward motion to complex conversations. What stands out most is how intentional she is about creating trust and safety within a group. This is one of her clear strengths as a facilitator. She does this not through thoughtful framing, sharp listening, and a calm, grounded presence. People are more willing to speak honestly, challenge assumptions, and engage with harder topics because the environment she creates feels both respectful and focused. As a result, conversations go deeper and outcomes are stronger. Teams don’t just feel heard, they leave aligned, clear on decisions, and confident in the path forward. Working with Tingi is both grounding and effective, and I would gladly recommend her to others.”

    —Jeff Wong, LinkedIn

  • “As a working parent, I was surprised to learn about the science around how our brains actually expand during motherhood, quite contrary to the common myth of "mommy's brain". The perspective on the seven types of rest was also highly insightful, offering a more holistic way to think about managing fatigue beyond just physical rest. A very relatable and thought-provoking session with practical takeaways for navigating both personal and professional roles.”

    —Jacqueline Wong, Swire Properties

  • “I had the privilege of partnering closely with Tingi to co-facilitate a series of team learning and upskilling events together at Google, and the experience was a testament to her exceptional talent in group dynamics and human-centric leadership. A true partnership in facilitation requires a high level of intuition and trust; working with Tingi felt seamless. We collaborated on everything from the initial event design to the real-time execution, and her ability to build upon my contributions while adding her unique strategic lens made our sessions far more impactful than the sum of their parts. She is a expert collaborator who prioritizes the team's objectives and a seasoned facilitator who has a gift for reading the energy of a room and solving for it.”

    —Aparna Kadan, Google

  • “Tingi is a truly exceptional facilitator and a stabilizing force who masterfully guides teams through ambiguity to achieve tangible results. During our brainstorming sessions, Tingi expertly synthesized numerous suggestions and asked focused, insightful questions that pushed us beyond surface-level conversations. Her leadership was instrumental in taking a simple pitch and operationalizing it into a successful, organization-wide learning program. Tingi speaks with gravitas and clarity on complex topics. She makes difficult concepts easy to understand and actionable and balances empathy with directness, creating a psychologically safe environment where people feel supported to do their best thinking.”
