About Me
Hi, I'm Hung-Liu!
I am a professional coach based in the Amsterdam area in the Netherlands.
I coach highly analytical (aspiring) leaders and leaders, helping them find their purpose, define and reach their goals, and at the same time optimize and balance their energy.
It's my mission in life to make people realize what a good life is to them, and support them in putting it front and center in any strategy they may choose.
​
That often requires some integration of heart and gut. After all, people are more than just their heads, that holds true for even the most analytical of us, no matter how high achieving.
Most “brainy strategies” focus on reaching your goals, creating beautiful roadmaps in your head. This is of course very helpful, but I’ve learned that it can be hard to make the right choices for me when the heart & gut don’t get a say.
Not surprisingly, I'm highly analytical myself, I love mathematics, and in university could get excited about an elegant proof of a theorem. And...
...I just love people!
The combination of which I was able to pour into my role as a consultant for years, where coaching has always been an essential part of my work.
​
And still, I had the feeling that something was missing. Plus I was getting some vague health issues that my doctor's couldn't understand or cure.
So, after 15 years of working very happily in this corporate setting, I decided it was time to try a new strategy, tuning down my brain a little bit and tuning up my gut and heart: I left corporate life and set up my practice "The Ginkgo Tree", I co-founded a coaching collective "FWD-Coaching", and joined my family's Acupuncture practice.
If you would have told me 8 years ago that I would be integrating my 3 passions in my own business, I would have never believed you, but now I'm so grateful that I get to do this!
​
In my practice, I support my clients to re-balance the volume settings of gut, heart & brain. And to do this, I integrate my 3 passions:
​
-
Strategic thinking (brain);
-
Coaching (heart); and
-
Lifestyle Medicine/Traditional Chinese Medicine (gut).
But most importantly, any session with me, whether it’s coaching, a consulting sparring session; a TCM energy/nutrition consult, or a blend, is always, always, designed around you.
Your dreams, your energy, your goals, your happiness.

Curious as to what this could look like for you?
