I’m a multi-modal wellness practitioner and the founder of The Ludo! Through my coaching work, I support clients in creating meaningful change by drawing on evidence-based frameworks, holistic practices, and diverse systems for self-understanding and personal growth. I bring both rigor and heart to my practice, which is rooted in a balance of professional training, academic study, and lived experience.

Whatever your area(s) of focus might be, together we’ll co-create a personalized container, weaving reflection, planning, practice, and accountability into a path towards sustainable and meaningful growth.

Hi,       

I’m Lu.

Coaching Areas

  • As a certified health and wellness coach with lifelong experience managing chronic health conditions, I understand both the challenges and opportunities in managing well-being.

    I support clients with:

    • Navigating the complexities of the medical system and advocating effectively

    • Integrating complementary and alternative approaches to care

    • Developing sustainable routines for managing conditions and treatment plans

    • Engaging mind–body–spirit practices for greater embodiment, resilience, and peace

    • Accessing tools for stress reduction, self-regulation, and personal growth

    • Clarifying and achieving personal goals across all areas of life—from fitness and diet to relationships, creativity, and spirituality

    Together, we’ll create a personalized plan that supports your medical needs, lifestyle, and aspirations—so you can feel more safe, at home, and enjoyment in your body and your life.

  • Feeling uninspired, stuck, or uncertain? Navigating a major life change or breakthrough moment but lacking ample support? Perhaps you’re feeling dissatisfied in your life, knowing you’re meant for o capable of so much more…

    Transformational coaching offers a space to step back from the noise and routines of everyday life in order to take stock and reconnect with what truly matters. Together, we’ll clarify what’s shifting in your life, uncover new possibilities, and build up the supports you need to move forward with clarity and purpose.

    This work is grounded in my thesis on transformation and adult development, along with years of experience facilitating reflective and growth-oriented practices. I bring a compassionate, structured, and creative lens to help you navigate change and step into new possibilities.

  • Cannabis and psychedelics hold both exciting potentials and serious risk. Coaching provides a grounded, compassionate space to explore your relationship to and experiences with these substances through a harm-reduction lens. This is not medical advice or encouragement to use, but support for reflection, safety planning, and integration.

    I work with clients at different stages, including:

    • Preparation & Safety: clarifying intentions, expectations, and supportive conditions before use

    • Meaning-Making: reflecting on meaningful, expansive, challenging, confusing, and unexpected experiences

    • Integration & Expansion: anchoring insights into daily life while engaging creative, spiritual, and embodied practices that can deepen and extend what arises; and

    • Reducing Use: distilling and learning to access the dimensions these substances open while shifting toward safer patterns, moderation, or abstinence when needed or desired.

    As SSDP’s Drug Education Program Coordinator, with training through the Zendo Project, research experience on psychedelic outcomes and spirituality at Columbia, leadership in its first psychedelic society, and lived experience of my own, I bring informed and compassionate support to wherever you are in your journey.

Testimonials

  • "I came to coaching with Lu at a huge moment in my life - I had moved abroad for grad school and was struggling to adjust to pretty much every aspect of my new life. Lu was caring and encouraging but also quietly revolutionary, as we worked on the ways that I could become unstuck, and the power of accountability and boundaries. Thank you Lu - I know I couldn't have done it without you!"
