About me
Your Partner in a Soul-Aligned Life and Career
Hi, I’m Bali.
If you’re an expat working in a corporate role, you’ve probably built a life that looks impressive on paper - a steady job, a clear career path, and maybe even a rich travel history that many envy. Yet deep down, something feels off.
Maybe your work no longer reflects who you truly are, or your life feels out of sync with what you want. Or maybe you love your job, and you’re great at it - even the financial recognition meets your expectations. But you realize you’ve sacrificed yourself, your health, and your life to keep this career running.
You’re not alone. I’ve walked that path too.
My Journey
I grew up following the rules - study hard, get a good job, build a stable life. But despite checking all the boxes and thanks to be driven others expectations, I often felt like I was living someone else’s story, not mine. I chased success: in engineering and financial advising, only to be hit hard by life’s unexpected storms.
The 2008 economic crisis wiped everything what I built, and I found myself mentally, emotionally and financially broken - trying to survive in new countries, learning new languages, and working three jobs at once just to restore what I’d lost.
It was exhausting - physically, mentally, emotionally. At times, I lost trust in the promise of the career ladder, I lost trust in the economy, and even in myself. I was angry and felt like the whole world was against me. I was stuck in a cycle of doing what I thought I should, instead of what I truly wanted.
Afterwards traveling the world became an important part of who I am. It was inspiring, rewarding and was a great source of joy. Like many in my generation, I saw travel as a sign of freedom and success - an adventure, a chance to discover myself. But I realized something important: If travel becomes just a way to escape daily dissatisfaction or numb the feeling of being unfulfilled, it’s a trap. Traveling should never be a band-aid to hide from a life you don’t love.
True freedom, I learned, means waking up energized and excited about the miracles waiting for you - not running away from reality but living it fully. Traveling is the whipped cream on the cake, not the cake itself.
After the crash, I surrendered and began asking bigger questions. Life was so overwhelming, I didn’t know what must be the first domino piece, if that falls then health, relationships, finances also fallen. Previously my recipe was like: compromise then adopt for the new unwanted changes in my life. I lived through a dark night of the soul, experienced burnout, and faced moments when life’s offer felt unbearable.
That realization sparked a shift:
Why I always felt I’m alien and outsider where ever I go?
What do I really want?
What can I work which let me transparently and authentically be myself and still provide contentious potential to grow?
How do I stop settling and compromising?
How do I build a career and life that nourish me instead of drain me?
These questions drove me to spirituality, which guided me out of darkness and into a daily experience of flow, synchronicity, and co-creating with the Universe.
My Mission Today
This journey led me to Holistic Life Coaching.
I now specialize in supporting mid-to-senior level corporate expats who feel stuck in careers that no longer align with their values or passions. Many have successful careers but struggle to feel satisfied, balanced, or authentic in their work. Together, we peel back layers of external expectations, outdated beliefs, and compromises that keep you locked in a job that doesn’t fit.
My coaching blends life coaching with career guidance, informed by mind-body practices rooted in neuroplasticity, epigenetics, and kinesiology. These tools help you reconnect with your inner self and rewrite the stories holding you back.
Here’s the truth:
YOUR WORK is the first domino.
When your job lights you up, everything else follows - your energy, relationships, health, and financial freedom. But, from holistic perspective, to get a support from a career coach, it is only the last 10% of the process...
What Does a Soul-Aligned Life Look Like?
Clarity on what truly matters: your values, passions, skills, and the legacy you want to leave
Courage to step off autopilot and choose work that nourishes rather than drains you
Balance that doesn’t just look good on paper but feels good in your bones
Grounded confidence to speak up for your needs, negotiate your worth, and design a career that flexes around your
life never the other way around
My Philosophy
Your life must come first. Your career should serve your whole being - mentally, physically, financially, and spiritually. When your work aligns with your true needs and values, everything changes. You gain energy, confidence, and clarity. You stop surviving and start thriving.
This isn’t about quick fixes or superficial changes. It’s about going deep - healing the root causes that keep you stuck, reclaiming your power, and creating a life that feels real and fulfilling. It’s about learning to trust yourself again.
Why Work With Me?
I know firsthand how challenging this path can be. I’ve faced loss, reinvention, and moments when I felt lost in the noise of others’ expectations. I’ve learned the hard way that work-life balance isn’t a luxury - it’s essential. And true transformation starts with an honest look inward.
My clients tell me they feel lighter within the first few sessions - and that’s just the beginning. They move from feeling like “a corporate expat stuck in neutral” to “a soul-aligned leader on a mission.” They get clarity about themselves, define their IKIGAI, and wake up excited to pour their energy into work that truly matters.
Together, we’ll create a 5-step road-map to your best self - a life where you wake up inspired, your career feeds your passions, your financial freedom supports your dreams, and your energy flows freely.
Your soul has been whispering its desires all along.
It’s time to listen.
