Hi, I’m Gilbert. Welcome to Breathing Room Life Coaching!!!

Have you ever walked into an Asian restaurant and see a kid working there that looked a little too young to be taking your order? I was one of those kids working at my parents’ Chinese restaurant!

Then when I graduated from the University of Connecticut (LFG Huskies), I taught English to Chinese high school students in Shanghai for two years. I loved those students and wanted to stay in education, so I moved back to the US and advised high school students on their college applications. I’ve also coached seven seasons of basketball, most recently serving as a high school varsity boys basketball coach.

The countless conversations that I’ve had with people in my personal and professional life have made me gravitate towards life coaching. I completed the Youth Coaching Institute life coaching program and used those skills to coach a wide age range of adults for the past two years.

It’s really quite remarkable how many people go through the same issues or have the same thoughts. Maybe you’re skipping your classes in college and wondering why you’re even there. Or you’re ready to get off Instagram and TikTok and spend your life in more effective ways for you. Maybe you’re in your 30s and want to assess where you’re at in life right now without comparing yourself to your peers.

I can help you first by offering a safe space for you to come as you authentically are and breathe—actually breathe. Over the course of an hour, you can freely say what’s on your mind without fear or feeling judged. From my coaching experience, chances are that what you’re experiencing is completely normal and valid. After you’ve truly slowed down and expressed yourself, you’ll be able to think more clearly and identify clear action steps as a regulated human being as opposed to a jumbled human doing. 

TLDR: Adulting can be a lot. By slowing down and opening up your mind, you can think productive thoughts and do the things that are actually important to you. I’m here to help.

Welcome to your Breathing Room.
