Hi, I’m Yoo-Jin, MPH, 200RYT

I help BIPOC, immigrant, queer, and first-generation leaders move from burnout to alignment, and organizations move from intention to sustainable transformation. Through trauma-informed coaching, somatic practices, organizational strategy, and healing modalities like astrology, I create spaces where healing, equity, and leadership thrive.

I specialize in serving BIPOC, Asian and Pacific Islander, Queer, First-Generation, trauma survivors, and femme/women, helping them navigate workplace challenges, reclaim self-care, and build lives and careers rooted in purpose and sustainability.

My work is rooted in healing justice, transformative leadership, and equity-driven strategies designed to create lasting impact in workplaces, communities, and personal journeys.

hello! I’m Yoo-Jin!
