SONA YANG

Welcome

“How can we live differently?”

This question in my head for more than three decades.

ABOUT SONA

I’m a psychology coach, explorer, storyteller, whose life experience spans several decades, and who has devoted the past ten years to exploring what is the truth to stop suffering, choice, desires and growth.

Experiences turned into stories

I’m a coaching psychology practitioner and ICF-credentialed coach, with an MBA, an MSc in Psychology,

and an MSc in Retail Management. I’m also an NLP Master Practitioner and hold ILM Level 7 in Executive Mentoring & Coaching.

I’ve spent several decades exploring and experiencing the forces that to being our identity, meaning, emotion and presence, and how we can create new possibilities to realise our full potential. At the heart of my work is one question:

How can we use our meta thinking skills to live differently?

I’m the author of the forthcoming book "Human", host of a Meta thinking School podcast (Mandarin), and founder of Meta Thinking School. Most of my time is devoted to continuing the study of what helps us grow into our best and most fully human selves.

I loved music from the age of three and danced every day on my own without any lesson, music is in my mind and body. Later on, I trained as a Zumba instructor and have my class to fulfil that childhood dream of movement.

While studying Fashion at university, I was inspired by two professors who had worked with Dolce & Gabbana and Macy’s. When that spark ignited, my mind was filled with runways and the dream of becoming a fashion buyer in New York or London. After graduation, I worked with Dior and Links of London, where I refined my understanding of global trends and the world of luxury retail.

Became a full-time mother, raising two children who were often praised for their kindness. Both followed their own motivation to reach their dream to go junior music school, Royal College of Music and Guildhall school of music and drama, continue to explore their potential by their own drive.

When I was 12 and full of curiosity, I asked my aunt, one of the founding directors of the Dharmasthiti Group in Hong Kong, “Who am I?”. That question set me a lifelong path. Today, I continue along that path, bringing together neuroscience, religion, philosophy, and psychology, all elements that have become integral to my work in Coaching Psychology, exploring how to live today for the future.

Meta-Thinking CAR Model

Throughout those years, I never stopped learning and exploring, guided by deep curiosity, reflection, and a continuous desire to understand why people live the lives they do. Today, the threads of creativity and decades of study weave together in what I call the Meta-Thinking CAR Model. This approach draws on the same kind of boundless curiosity that drives discovery, along with presence, compassion, a cognitive-behavioural approach, humanistic psychology, neuroscience, and wisdom traditions, creating a space where insight and transformation can emerge naturally.
