Who she is

"I teach what I've lived. And I've lived what most families are too afraid to say out loud."

Estela Lim Yan Ling is a relational repair coach, facilitator, and workshop trainer specialising in family communication, emotional regulation, and parent-teenager connection. Her work is grounded in lived experience — as a teenager who navigated deep family disconnection and depression, and who later taught her own mother the skills that transformed their relationship.

That story has been featured on MediaCorp Channel 8 Frontline, CNA Singapore Stories, and Our Better World — and it is the same story she brings into every room she facilitates.

Since 2017 she has been leading workshops, self-help events, meditation circles, and speaking engagements. She has mentored and coached youths and teens aged 9–25, including at-risk adolescents, and her programmes are interactive, practical, and results-focused.
