About Me.
Helping You Create Balance, Thrive with Purpose, and Unlock Your True Potential
My name is Norman Leong. I am a certified holistic life coach passionate about guiding people towards living a more balanced, fulfilling, and purpose-driven life. I am grateful for the life experiences, good and bad, that I have gone through that have helped shape me into the person I am today. Read on to learn more about me and my journey through life!
My Journey
Like many, my personal journey was not easy to navigate, and I wished I had someone in my life that I could have called my "Guide" or "Support". In my early years I struggled through family separation and divorce, feeling divided in my identity, and lost in direction from all of it.
​
There's always a stigma that comes with asking for help, or seeking help. I wished I came to my senses earlier on so that I could have been where I wanted to be sooner. I grew up understanding that asking for help was a sign of weakness, and that my life was how it is no matter what. I eventually became aware enough that we actually do have the option to take control of our own lives, and to live the life we can truly be happy with.
I grew up 1st generation Chinese Canadian learning the language and culture from where my parents were from, but also learning to integrate into Western culture. I struggled with finding my tribe; and found difficulty finding the right group to try to befriend. Like many, I grew up without anyone to help me walk through the difficult terrain we call life. But over time, I learned how to navigate life in a positive manner and become the person I am today, a kind, loving, and supportive father, husband, and friend.
In my early 20’s I worked in the safety industry and remained there for over 10 years. My goal at the time was to earn money, provide for my growing family, and climb the corporate ladder. I am always thankful for the stability that it provided us over those years, however, in exchange it was hard mentally, and physically until l hit the point of burnout. I lost the drive no matter what I tried to attempt to change things up at the workplace, I lost passion in what I was doing. I hated the feeling of swimming upstream constantly, and I needed a major change. I left my career to start a new chapter; I decided to grab the reigns on my life. I enrolled at the Mind Body Food Institute in their Holistic Life Coaching and Mind-Body Practitioners course, and that led me here to the present day.
I’m here to assist anyone who is seeking support or can relate to my personal experiences. Whether you are a parent in need of guidance, struggling to identify your passions and strengths, or working towards achieving your goals, I'm here for you. If you're dedicated to making a transformation or navigating a transitional period in your life or career, I am ready, committed, and passionate about helping you.
I am here to serve as your guide and support throughout this journey, as it encompasses more than just my own experiences. I recognize the challenges you may encounter, whether they involve navigating gender or cultural barriers, managing life transitions, or aspiring to be a caring and supportive parent. My own experiences have influenced my life, and I would be delighted to assist you in addressing similar challenges. If you seek support in any of these aspects, please remember that I am here for you.
