Hi, I'm Dr Christal
A Journey Towards Self-Discovery & Purpose
I’m a medical doctor, purpose coach, trainer, speaker, author and founder of a professional training and coaching academy, Awaken Academy.
I grew up as a confident go-getter and I pride myself for my self-reliance in getting what I want. I worked hard and did everything by the book: I achieved good grades in school; studied in the country’s top university; graduated with a medical degree and worked a prestigious career as a doctor.
It seemed like I had everything “figured out”. But overtime, something else crept in – a sense of emptiness deep inside. I hit a quarter life crisis that left me feeling confused, lost, frustrated, depressed, trapped and desperate for a way out.
I realised I was living someone else’s dreams at the cost of my own happiness. I knew some things needed to change, so I went on a personal quest towards self-discovery and transformation. I worked through my fears, invested in my own personal growth by hiring mentors who guided me and gradually, I developed the courage to quit my job.
I went from being a burned out, confused & frustrated doctor to now – fulfilled and living my purpose.
Today, I’ve never been happier, and I want to help you do the same.
