About Me

Hi, I'm Mai-Lan.

I'm a Startup Founder turned Meditation Coach, and a Brand & Growth Strategist for entrepreneurs and founders. I live at the intersection of two worlds — deep inner work and intentional outer growth.

My work is built on a simple belief: that real growth comes from the inside out. Whether I'm guiding someone into stillness or helping a founder clarify their voice, the root is always the same — awareness.


My story

Startup Founder turned Meditation Coach

My path wasn't linear. I spent years in the fast-moving world of startups — building products, scaling teams, chasing metrics. I was good at it. And I was exhausted by it.

Meditation found me at a breaking point. What started as a last resort became the most transformative tool I'd ever encountered. It didn't just help me cope — it changed how I worked, how I related, how I led.

When I became a coach, I brought both worlds with me. The strategic mind of a founder and the grounded presence of a practitioner. That combination is what makes my work different.

The Meditator

Stillness as foundation

A daily practitioner committed to the inner work. I teach what I live — presence, self-inquiry, and the courage to be still in a world that never stops moving.

What I believe

The principles I work from

🌿

Awareness before action

Most problems aren't strategy problems — they're awareness problems. Slow down to see clearly, then move with precision.

Integrity over performance

Your brand is an extension of who you are. When your inner and outer work align, growth becomes natural — not forced.

💧

Depth over breadth

One honest conversation matters more than a thousand polished posts. I care about real transformation, not surface metrics.

🌀

Growth is not linear

Progress spirals. Rest is part of the work. The breakthroughs often come quietly, after a long, patient pause.

In conversation

Why awareness matters more than strategy

The belief at the heart of everything I do — and why it changes how people grow, lead, and create.

  • 🌿
    Inner clarity → outer results

    Most people treat strategy as the solution — but without clarity of mind, even the best plan falls apart.

  • 💧
    Root-cause wellbeing

    I don't teach coping tools — I guide people to the source. Sustainable wellbeing comes from understanding your patterns, not managing symptoms.

  • Founder-to-coach lived insight

    The pivot from startup life to meditation wasn't a retreat from ambition — it was the discovery of a deeper kind of effectiveness.

  • 🌀
    Proven across two worlds

    Whether coaching individuals or guiding founders through brand strategy, the same principle holds: awareness creates the conditions for growth that's real and lasting.
