About Hikari Coaching & Consulting
Illuminating Pathways to Coherent and Generative Leadership
​
I’ve always been drawn to what happens beneath the surface—the patterns that shape how we lead, relate, and create. Over time, I came to see that transformation isn’t just about effort. It’s about attunement—learning to notice where coherence is possible and where movement wants to happen.
​
At Hikari Coaching & Consulting, I guide leaders, entrepreneurs, and organizations in cultivating the awareness, clarity, and presence needed to lead with integrity in complexity. Through generative awareness, integrative complexity, and deep attunement to self and system, we create the conditions where clarity and movement can emerge naturally—without forcing solutions, without grasping for certainty.
Why This Work?
​
I’ve spent my career helping leaders and organizations step into alignment—into a way of leading that is not just effective, but deeply true.
-
As an executive coach, I support leaders navigating uncertainty, complexity, and growth. Whether you’re stepping into a new role, redefining your leadership, or leading through systemic change, coaching creates the space to develop awareness, clarity, and coherence.
-
As a strategist, I’ve worked with businesses, brands, and organizations to uncover their core narratives, align their leadership, and move with integrity.
-
As someone trained in power dynamics, culture, and systems change, I help leaders understand how identity, belonging, and equity shape the ways we lead and relate to one another.
My work is not about prescribing solutions—it’s about creating space for the questions that matter most, so that you can move with clarity, coherence, and impact.

A Bit More About Me
I was never burdened with athletic talent. In my family, I was known for a different kind of movement—navigating ideas, complexities, and the spaces between them. That way of seeing the world has shaped everything I do, from coaching leaders to helping organizations find coherence in complexity.
​
I live in San Diego with my family and two dogs, who have mastered both stillness and movement better than most humans I know. When I’m not working with leaders and teams, you’ll find me reading, deep in conversation, or trying to stay emotionally regulated while watching my children play volleyball.

Because Words Matter:
The Reason Behind the Name
Hikari​
​
"Hikari" means light in Japanese. This work is about illumination—not in the sense of giving you something you don’t already have, but in helping you see what is already there.
​
So much of leadership is about learning to trust what is emerging—learning to recognize the signals, listen to what is shifting, and move from a place of alignment rather than reaction.
