My values
Let me introduce myself
Hiya! I’m Pili — a Mindfulness teacher and coach. I work with women who are navigating the many demands of business, leadership, and life, helping them find clarity, steadiness, and self-compassion along the way.
What do I stand for?
When women work with me, I want them to feel safe, understood, supported, and free to choose what feels right for them. These values are not just ideas I talk about—they are the way I live, both at home and in my work. They guide everything I do, from supporting women in leadership to creating bilingual spaces for community and connection.
Here are the values I live by and bring into every space I create through Mindful Pili:
Kindness & compassion
Integrity & authenticity
Presence & awareness
Community & connection
Sustainability & care for the planet
A little more about what each value means in practice:
Kindness & compassion
Kindness is at the heart of everything I do. I offer a compassionate, non-judging ear, holding space with empathy and care. I also know how hard it can be to show kindness to ourselves—I’ve met my own inner critic many times. By sharing this openly, I remind women that self-compassion is not a weakness, but a powerful strength that helps us navigate challenges with greater ease.
Integrity & authenticity
For me, integrity means walking the same path I invite others to explore. I share my own vulnerabilities in my blog and Substack, and I bring mindfulness into everyday life—even in simple moments like daily chores.
My work is also grounded in professional standards: I invest in ongoing training, comply with the Good Practice Guidelines for mindfulness teachers, hold regular supervision, and attend retreats and Mindfulness Days of practice. This ensures I show up with authenticity and accountability, while creating a safe, trustworthy space for others.
Presence & awareness
Mindfulness is more than a practice—it’s a way of being. I find it in small pauses: taking a breath before sending an email, grounding before a difficult meeting, or slowing down during a busy morning.
These moments of awareness are not only personal—they are essential for leadership. Mindfulness helps us respond rather than react, make decisions with clarity, and bring steadiness into the middle of pressure.
Community & connection
I believe growth is not something we do alone. Through my bilingual content, online courses, and Substack, I connect with women who are navigating the demands of business and life, often across cultures and languages.
At the heart of this is women supporting women. While men also benefit from these practices, my focus is on creating spaces where women leaders feel seen, supported, and reminded they don’t have to carry it all alone.
Sustainability & care for the planet
Mindfulness has taught me that caring for myself also means caring for the world around me. For me, this can look like mindful decluttering, supporting local charities, and making small, values-led choices in daily life.
I believe personal well-being and environmental well-being are deeply connected. Just as mindfulness invites us to live with greater awareness, it also inspires more sustainable ways of living and working. I invite you to explore more about this connection on my Mindfulness and Sustainability page.
