Meet Life Coach Ruby Ma:

First of all, how are you and your family doing in these Pandemic times?

We have experienced such grace during the pandemic, many challenges and highs and lows.

Thanks to many that support us continuously, we remained safe and without major health issues.

We are all still working, which is also a blessing. Consider many have suffered job loss and financial crisis.

I lost my grandpa this year, and the pandemic made the funeral bit harder for us all, but love and peace was present still.

How does the coronavirus pandemic affect your clients? Did it affect you at all?

I think the pandemic does shift things around for everyone.

I personally felt like it is both a challenge and a blessing. So much gratitude around the freedom that we used to take for granted.

And also the limitations coming with it also creates space for more reflections on priorities and values.

Do I really want that? Are those really necessary? What are my values? I am discovering new things about myself and supporting my clients to do the same too.

The impact is always there, and we have always the possibility to decide on how we interpret things and what we take away from it.

Oh, and we need to consciously choose who we connect with and how we stay connected with each other. Both mental and physical health and space are more of a priority now to most of us.

What are the biggest lessons that you learned in this pandemic?

That we can be always grateful and choose how we live our lives. Pandemic can be either a support or an excuse.

Humans are limited, no matter how greedy we try to be, or how hard we try to work, we are still just humans.

Knowing this leads to freedom and deeper peace.

Because of my faith in God, I have the long lasting peace that I can do the best i can and surrender the rest to God.

I think my faith also deepened during the pandemic, after experiencing pain and loss and discomfort.

I see that humans are more connected than I thought and we also need each other more than I realized.

When we unite and work together, amazing things always happen. So I am choosing more and more consciously to be connected and grounded.

The Origin:

Tell us about you, your career, how you started with your coaching career?

I am an EMPOWERMENT coach, embarking on Life Purpose and Fulfillment.

I spent more than a decade as an educator, working with families and students of different ages.

Always reflecting on what truly supports people forward, and was longing for something that can take people forward.

I see humans as the ultimate smartphones.

When one stay updated to the newest version of him or herself, no tasks would be of challenge.

On the contrary, merely downloading too many new apps, might just make the phone very slow.

Back in 2016 when I was in my mid 20s, I had an opportunity to encounter powerful coaching while I was studying in Germany and I declared at that very moment that, I would like to be of support to others as a professional coach as well one day. I wanted to pay it forward and empower others!

What was your biggest obstacle that you had to overcome in your life that made you who you are today?

Hahaha, there are plenty!!!

I would say the ONE biggest obstacle is probably healing from the heartbreaks I encounter in life.

Each heartbreak, whether it is losing a loved one or ending of a relationship that is no longer serving me, I would need to consciously choose healing and forgiveness and walk into freedom again.

Those are hard because I first need to walk through pain and be vulnerable before I enter true freedom.

Sometimes it worked rather quickly and sometimes it takes many tries.

I am not a naturally patient person in the sense that I like moving forward. But when it comes to healing, it takes time and space so it is another conscious practice for me.

The Coaching Style:

How do you innovate with coaching your clients?

I am blessed with very strong intuition, and I have seen how my gift can be of strong support to the clients.

Once I get the permission, I would openly share about what I sense in the coaching space and propose different approaches to the clients.

Sometimes it is a visualization practice, starting with grounding the clients through their conscious breaths and regaining their body awareness.

My innovations usually kick in in the visualization space. And I allow much free space for the clients to explore inward and go forward with their own next steps.

Coaching is never dull. It is a movement and it is full of life. The clients are on the drivers’ seat and I am always right next to them.

What’s unique about your coaching approach?

I allow much freedom and my space is genuinely positive and up lifting.

My secret sauce is genuine empowerment.

I believe in the clients and who they are and the mission and purpose they carry. I believe first and there is great power and strength behind that belief.

My coaching model supports my clients to aim towards a life of purpose and fulfillment and cut the BS in their lives.

I am both very direct and open.

What benefits do your clients get after working with you?

They walk away with much more self love, self appreciation and confidence.

They know who they are, why they are here, and what mission they carry.

I believe they benefit from my positive and warm energy, and they always leave more empowered after working with me. This is my deepest wish, to empower those who desires to go forward in life.

Do you use any specific tools to be efficient with your clients?

I have my coaching model and power tool as a form of coaching foundation.

I am a spiritual person and my spiritual intuition and gifts often come in in the right time to best support the needs of the clients.

I always follow the flow and be present.

The Impact:

If you had a super megaphone that, when you speak into, the whole world will hear your message, what would you say?

YOU are LOVED. YOU are ENOUGH. YOU have a PURPOSE and a MISSION within.

What is the greatest lesson you have learned in your life?

That LOVE is the only way forward.

Love first yourself, then love those around you. If there is not enough love within, then it’s never too late to connect back to the source of love and get recharged.

Love is a conscious choice we need to make daily.

Your final thoughts?

I strongly believe in the positive benefits of coaching and how through empowerment, transformations occur naturally.

I wish anyone who come across this sharing of mine til the end so much love and light. And trust me, there is a reason why you came across this today.

Take the most out of it and be brave! My deep wishes.
