How My Journey Began
I have been a physician for almost 20 years. I first considered coaching when I started wondering about healing in general. Initially I considered if there were other ways to treat people with methods outside of Western medicine such as Traditional Chinese Medicine and homeopathic treatments. I considered the impact of mental health on physical health. Then I started exploring ways to help people experience positive change and transform their lives without the use of any form of medicinal treatment at all. And that’s when I discovered coaching.
One of the things that held me back was the fact that many people especially physicians, were unaware of what coaching is and how it can be helpful. I was concerned that that colleagues would judge me for going into what they considered to be impractical magic. As someone who is extremely concerned about my professional image, this was a big impediment to me starting my coaching journey.
My aspiration is to be able to make a successful career out of coaching and be a catalyst for positive change for my clients. In addition, I notice that there are many peer coaches and external clients who feel lost or lonely. I would love to able to provide support for them and I wonder if this is something that I can do as part of my coaching career. I feel that the collective experience of coaches who are on the same journey would be a strong motivator to keep us all going.
What People Are Saying
“
I’ve always felt like there are three elements I look for in a personal coach — chemistry, trust and empathy. Receiving coaching is a very personal thing, and it requires you to be vulnerable and to really reflect on all aspects of your life. And you need a safe space for that. Jade provided that for me and I’m grateful that we had our sessions together — it always left me feeling surer about my goals and how to get closer to what I want in life. Thanks Jade!

Dr Jade is super supportive and assuring. As first-time parents, we are mostly clueless about what to expect, while coping with changes in all aspects of our lives. With Dr Jade's coaching, we feel much more prepared, calm and confident

Truly grateful to have the opportunity to work with Dr Jade whilst starting my journey as a start-up founder. Many episodes of highs and lows, I felt stuck and needed help. I was certainly a little apprehensive about the idea of ‘coaching’ because it’s foreign to me but decided to keep an open mind. Dr Jade freely shares her business and also life knowledge, helps me in discovering myself through thoughtful questions and exercises. After a number of weekly meetings, I couldn’t be happier with where I am and the perspective I now have for my start-up and also in life. It’s definitely just a start and I foresee many more challenges but I know I can always count on Dr Jade’s guidance to take them on.

Dr Kua was a God sent - she came into my life when I was in my most self-conflicted state. The noise of the world around me got so loud - I couldn’t tell what was my own voice and what wasn’t. She helped me manoeuvre through my messy headspace by giving me the courage I so desperately needed to be authentic about the things that matter to me. She saw how jitteriness and was always there to reassure me with her brightest smile - I’m in control of my life story, I just need to have a little more faith in the little voice within me. To trust the process. To know that I can always switch the narrative when things aren’t going as planned and that there’s always a precious lesson life is teaching me. To me, she’s not just the best mentor but also a gem I’d want to keep in my life for as long as I live.

Being coached by Jade was a great experience to say the least. Given her background in the medical industry, Jade is empathetic, experienced and kind. She listens to her clients with full intention and is able to lead them down a path of realisation smoothly. I would end the session with a certain lightness, and was very appreciative of the time she spent coaching me. Her high -achieving attitude is also an inspiration for her clients, as she juggles many work and personal commitments. Nothing like a coach you can look up to! I would recommend Jade to anyone.
