Athlete by design, hard work and dedication came naturally to me. Born in Tokyo, raised in Hong Kong, and shaped by global experience from London to Asia, I’ve always been driven by a deep curiosity for human potential.

Studying Sports & Exercise Sciences alongside Olympians, I became fascinated not just by physical performance—but by the mindset behind it: the focus, drive, and ability to rise through setbacks.

That same high-performance mindset led me from working with traders at Bloomberg to coaching corporate clients in a CrossFit gym in the skyscrapers of Hong Kong. I became known for moving fast, delivering results, and being the person people rely on.

Over time, my clients began using our sessions to unpack deeper challenges—burnout, overachievement, and a constant chase for external success. I saw the same patterns in professionals as I had in elite athletes: the relentless pursuit of excellence at a cost of their fulfilment and wellbeing.

That’s why I created Mindset by Maya—a coaching brand that helps ambitious professionals redefine success, reclaim their energy, and perform at their best sustainably, across all seasons of life.

Today, as an ICF-certified coach, I partner with ambitious professionals who are longing to thrive and build a life of sustainable success.

And when I’m off the clock? You’ll find me hitting the gym, burning my favorite Oud Wood incense, or adventuring with my daughter and husband—fully present, fully alive.
