About Aries

With over two decades in finance spanning strategy, operations, and change management across wealth management and investment banking, I understand the complexity of high-stakes leadership.


But my most profound education came from personal experience—learning that external success doesn't guarantee internal fulfilment.



🌉 The Bridge I Discovered



After years of building bridges between teams, stakeholders, and competing priorities, I discovered the most important bridge of all: the one between external achievement and authentic fulfillment.


That discovery changed everything—and now it's the foundation of how I help other leaders navigate their transformation.


My Bridge-Building Approach

As an ICF-Certified Executive Coach with certifications in NLP, Positive Intelligence, and Clean Language, I help leaders architect their most important transition: from achievement-driven to purpose-led leadership.



I bring both professional expertise and lived experience to every conversation. I know what it's like to feel successful yet unfulfilled, to question "What now?" after achieving everything you thought you wanted.


Beyond Corporate Impact

My commitment to developing leaders extends beyond individual coaching:

  • 7+ years as Executive Committee member, Financial Women's Association Singapore
  • Grew corporate membership from 0 to 35+ companies
  • Led award-winning mentoring programs (AWARE Singapore 2013)
  • Volunteer coach with CGL and Project5 (supporting UK health workers)

My Commitment

Whether you're feeling successful yet unfulfilled, or your organization needs leaders who inspire authentic engagement, I bring both professional expertise and lived experience to every conversation.

The foundation you've built becomes the launchpad for something far more meaningful.

My Journey to Coaching

 Aries' son, Nathaniel

 Like many individuals, my life has been a turbulent journey filled with ups and downs. There were moments of triumph, periods of stagnation where I merely went through the motions, and times of profound confusion. I'm sure you can relate to these experiences.


When we take a step back and reflect, we realize that most of us spend our lives in search of well-being—a harmonious balance of the things that truly matter to us. We yearn for that sense of contentment and challenge, seeking both solace and excitement.


As a single mother and the sole provider for my children, the weight of responsibility often overwhelmed me. I felt trapped, suffocated, and lost. Balancing life's demands became a constant struggle, leaving me questioning my identity and purpose. Was I simply defined by my role as a mother? Did my dreams, desires, and goals still hold significance?


The sudden and tragic loss of my son during Easter 2017 brought my life to a standstill. In an instant, everything seemed insignificant—job security, personal finances, and even my fear of stepping outside my comfort zone. Nothing mattered anymore.



Experiencing the death of a child is an indescribable emotional ordeal. It defies the natural order of life, leaving us in disbelief and anguish. Even if we were aware of our child's limited lifespan due to medical conditions, the pain remains unbearable. The day it happens, there is no preparation.


His passing was a cruel reminder of the fragility of life and it compelled me to reevaluate my own existence. It shed light on the impact my son had on the lives of others, despite the challenges he faced. His love and resilience touched the hearts of countless young people, as I discovered through the heartfelt eulogies given by those he had inspired.



This profound loss forced me to confront my own reality. How do I continue living a life that is not true to myself? How much longer can I go on without embracing my authentic self?


Life is not measured by its duration but by the footprints we leave behind. Despite his tender age of sixteen and a half, my son left an enduring mark on the world. And now I ask myself, what about me? What about you?

Thus began my journey towards discovering my true self—a journey that serves as a legacy for my son, an homage to his memory.
