I met with Irene for a coaching session and Im so much better off having done so :)Irene is knowledgeable about many different areas, including LGBT topics, diet, fitness, dating and relationships, and overall wellness. When we met, I told Irene that I wanted to work on improving my diet and get more involved in the queer community. Irene was an immediate help and suggested some action items, including things I never would have thought of. Irene is well-connected in the queer community and Ive already met cool people through her. She suggested that I schedule a lunch event at work to meet new people, which I did and it was a success. I had also been putting off making a doctors appointment, and she gave me a direct link to the online portal I needed to go to, which went above and beyond my expectations and made the process seamless. It really helped to have Irene break things down into manageable steps. To top it off, Irene is flexible in terms of timing and location, which makes meeting with her very convenient.Irene continues to follow up with me and encourage me, and it really helps to have her to bounce ideas off of and to keep me accountable. Im thankful that Irene has been giving me the support and push I need to complete the tasks that Ive been putting off for a while, and to make progress toward my goals. She was willing to adapt a plan to my specific circumstances, which was just what I needed. I highly recommend Irene as a coach--shes knowledgeable, patient, a good listener, and a kind and considerate person. Thanks for everything, Irene!

Irene is a great listener and always encouraging! She has a spunky go-getter energy - it feels like she believes anything is possible, which is inspiring for the cautious perfectionist. In this time of unemployment, she has been great at offering helpful and specific small steps and suggestions to achieve my goals, and checking in to gently push me to actually do the things I need to do. I’m grateful for Irene’s positive presence. ☺️

Irene is a talented life coach with experience in human psychology, nutrition, fitness, and well-being. I have worked with her on several occasions, and she has helped me define concrete goals and objectives, and has helped follow up with me to ensure that Im making progress. Irene is also a trusted friend; she truly cares about her clients and wants them to succeed. I would highly recommend her services!

Irene is seriously a top notch coach. My friend recommended me to her because I had been feeling completely overwhelmed and unproductive lately. I felt like I had nothing to lose reaching out to her.Honestly from our first Zoom chat, I knew I could trust her. She has this calming presence about her that instantly makes you feel a little less overwhelmed about your life. And most importantly, you can tell she genuinely cares.She helps me set small stepping-stool goals for myself (with my physical health, mental health, and my career) and checks in on me all the time. She has this way of telling you what you need to hear while making you feel relaxed at the same time.If youre feeling overwhelmed like I am because of covid/quarantining and feel like you need some help gaining productivity and getting back into a routine, call her! Just try it out, Im telling you, shes the best.

Irene is a wonderful coach! She has been passionate, dedicated, and tremendously helpful. She helped me set and reach my goals and not only suggested concrete tactics to do so, but also gave helpful examples from her own life to guide me, and checked in with me every day to make sure I was on track.- I was having issues maintaining a regular sleep schedule, and she checked in with me regularly to make sure I was waking up on time, even doing wake-up calls/chats so I had something to look forward to in the mornings.- With the shelter-in-place order, I was also finding it difficult to work out regularly. The home workout videos she suggested were perfect - maybe even more effective than my routine at the gym! She also offered to do workouts together over Zoom, which was really helpful and helped motivate me to work out at a more regular cadence.Irene takes a holistic and scientific approach - she helps you better understand not only how to reach your goals, but what goals you want to set in the first place and why. I highly recommend her and have no doubt that with her help you will find your stride in life!

Irene is really knowledgeable and a great listener! She has great advice and tips and is very patient.

I got life coaching from Irene and I am glad I did. With her guidance and stories, I was able to analyze my life, and look at what I wanted to improve in.Irene was able to give me a professional perspective and help me set concrete goals in life. One of my biggest challenges was to get back into dating again. I told her I had a lot of anxiety from the idea of dating someone again and that online dating was very emotionally draining for me. She encouraged me and helped me set goals that I was comfortable with doing. I was really surprised when the goals and boundaries she set really worked! Irene really helped because I was able to find my current girlfriend and I am really happy.I highly recommend Irene.

Irene is full of positivity, motivation, and inspiration!Working and living in Silicon Valley is tough and being happy with your career and where you work at is even tougher. Irenes wellness coaching has got to be the best resource for anyone looking to make a career change, to evaluate whether what youre doing is making you happy, or to even navigate through tough situations in the workplace.Irene also provides life coaching, wellness coaching, and fitness & nutrition coaching. Pretty much your one stop shop for wellness!

I’ve gotten to know Irene Tang online over the last year or so and cannot in good conscience recommend her or her services. While at first I was excited to meet another queer Asian woman of color, I soon began to feel uneasy as I saw how there were only white and Asian people in the space she holds. When I asked if the group was a specific safe space for (East) Asians, she responded that it’s a coincidence other people of color don’t show up. This is clear ignorance and not a coincidence at all. The space is not very welcoming to black and brown folks, nor those who speak up instead of partaking in an echo chamber. One of her assistants, a white woman in the group, mentioned that she didn’t speak up for her black colleagues at google because she didn’t want to lose her job. If I felt uncomfortable hearing this, imagine how black folks would feel. This is the kind of people she cultivates space for. Although Irene is queer and a woman of color, she is not living up to the Diversity, Equity, Accessibility, and Inclusion (DEAI) philosophies she claims to uphold. Recently, I brought up how seeing people travel during the pandemic is triggering to me. I had a feeling my opinion was the minority in this group, but thought maybe people were just being hesitant to speak up. So I thought I’d be the first and expressed my concern. In response, two of the moderators verbally attacked me since they took it personally even though I didn’t mention any specific person. When I approached Irene about this, she scolded me and later on kicked me out of the group. This is very sad, as it was a chance to improve and step in as a moderator should. Yet Irene clearly sided with her own bias since she herself has talked extensively about traveling during this time. Not only that, but she initiates in-person events on a regular basis. I tried to overlook it because I didn’t want to judge, but it’s clear you’re only allowed to participate if you don’t disagree with her in any area. It’s ironic that someone who calls herself a health coach actively partakes in actions that hurt so many folks, especially people of color. Please be wary of people like this who pretend to be “woke,” but whose actions don’t match their words. I hope this review can save someone time, energy, and money. There are better options out there.1/24/21 update:Irene responds that this review is “confusing” in order to pretend she is unfamiliar with the situations mentioned. I have screenshots to prove otherwise, including the conflicts I list above. Due to discord privacy and common courtesy, I will not post them unless legally necessary. The point here is not to shame anyone, but to save potential clients from wasted time and money.She asks me to message her, but I did and she didn’t respond. That was three days ago. She is able to respond to the google and and Yelp reviews, but not my message. What good is messaging someone who ignores their inbox?Irene, my advice is: Hire a DEAI coach, stay home instead of seeing people in person and traveling, and move on with your life as I will do with mine.

As a queer Asian woman working at an aerospace corporation, I didn’t see anyone like me at work nor did I have much of a community. I started to attend gay and lesbian conferences and workshops to build community which is where I met Irene. At the time I wasn’t very sure of myself but Irene’s warm personality and her ability to connect with people made me feel welcome and at ease. During the LGBTQ community workshops, Irene was a great facilitator that made the space comfortable and welcoming to discuss queer and trans topics that can be very sensitive.Later I connected with Irene when I had uncertainties around job searching and general confusion about my life direction. Through the 9 years I’ve known Irene, I’ve found her to be a great listener who asks insightful questions that make me feel supported and provides me new perspectives. Irene also has an extensive network that she tapped to connect me to job contacts and new friends in the queer community. I definitely recommend Irene for coaching and group facilitation!

I’ve been working with Irene for a few years now. Irene has the ability to foster intimate connections with her clients by using her strong emotional intelligence. She treats her clients with respect and guides them in an encouraging direction. Irene is a champion for my career growth and relationship developments. She coaches me in both my professional and personal realms by providing practical actionable steps towards progression. She’s extremely knowledgeable about career options and expanding relational networks. I went from starting my career as a Sales Representative, and with Irene’s support, I am now working in my dream job as a Project Manager.

Ive trained with Irene for over a year now and shes a knowledgeable, patient, and supportive fitness instructor. Everyone who trains with her loves her. She has great techniques and is always happy to share and customize conditioning exercises based off injuries, interests, you name it. Cant recommend her enough!

I highly recommend Bay Wellness Coaching. Irene is a great life coach and has helped me accomplish my personal, professional and fitness goals. My decision to meet with her was a complete game-changer and has made a long term impact on my health and wellness!!I am impressed how fast my progress went once I committed to the program.

Irene has always been my go-to with life coaching especially her advice about relationships. I would say her advice can easily make her a New York Times best seller when compiled into a book. Her advice isnt just simple and practical but gets to the point. I always value her opinion on all items in my life.

I enjoy working with Irene! She is a knowledgeable instructor, very supportive and friendly. She encourages me during my workouts but is very aware of safety and making sure I dont overuse my body or get injured, which I truly appreciate. She is also patient when I asked her advice on injury prevention and treatment (I have some lower back problems) and she gave me great advice and light workout drills to improve my condition.

I have been doing remote coaching with Irene! She is a wonderful wellness coach and a true professional! She has been an amazing guide! She makes sure to check on my progress to keep me on track. We have regularly scheduled phone calls. Thanks to her I have come a long way in my health and career journey!! I highly recommend her services!

I highly recommend Irene at Bay Wellness Coaching. She is incredibly patient and supportive, and she provided me with knowledgeable and thorough guidance on my career and fitness goals. She is well connected with many companies in the Bay Area and even connected me to my current role.

When I was struggling to know how to take the first steps in switching careers, Irene was recommended to me. My first impression was that she was incredibly patient and sought first to understand where I was coming from and where I wanted to go. Over the next couple months, we met remotely through phone calls and video calls (since my schedule did not allow in-person meetings) where we would plan next steps, which included tapping into my own social network, updating my resume and online profiles, etc. Her suggestions and encouragements were always thoughtful and insightful and I felt like she was helping me look at my life holistically and not just compartmentalizing the work area of my life. It was so helpful to have something that felt overwhelming and confusing be broken down into attainable steps and her feedback and questions help put things into perspective.Irene is personable, dependable and great at following up and following through. Even when I failed to make some appointments, she made a point to connect and find a new time that worked. It was a bonus that she related to my Asian-American experience and is an LGBT-friendly life and career coach. Im so glad we got connected and I feel much more secure and empowered to take bigger steps in my career and life!

Dont be afraid to ask Coach Irene for help if you are disabled or lost- she can help you find a purpose and meaning to life. She does this by breaking down life situations that seem unmanageable into doable steps. I love how organized Coach Tang is!I have ADHD and my disorganization extends beyond paper and also extends to other areas of my life including my love life and work life. Time management is a huge issue in addition to keeping a tidy room so that I can find things when I need them. Irene is patient with me. She can help me even though Im also autistic and sometimes say socially awkward things. She teaches me how to interact with people and helps me find my strengths in my disability in order to enable me to work by gaining a functional life again. Life coach Tang has taught me to organize my life, use mindfulness as a way of becoming aware of options in a situation and elements of a situation, and finally, she has taught me to laugh about life and to find joy in little things.

Ive been working with Irene for over a year. She is the friend you need who will listen, help you set goals and be there to see you through them. Shes always checking in on me to see how Im doing with my exercises, helping me adjust my routine and encouraging me to keep going. Im so lucky to be working with her and couldnt recommend her more!

Ive had really good experiences with Bay Wellness Coaching. Irene understands the Asian American experience and has been through many of the topics that we chatted about such as career changes, dating, and overall mental health.

Irene is an intelligent and kind person. I usually meet up with her in-person or remotely. She is very knowledgable in various careers and has lots of connections with many companies. She has helped many of my friends get referred to various jobs.

Irene is very knowledgeable and pays attention to details. Having opportunities to receive nutrition advices and fitness training from Irene, my body feels a lot better and stronger than before.I train cardio kickboxing with Irene privately (virtually via Zoom) 3 times a week. At first, I wasnt sure how well Irene was able to comment on my forms since she wasnt here in-person. I have to say I was astounded at how well Irene was able to comment on my forms, even on minor details. She is also very good at re-iterating the basics (i.e., breathing and pivoting) whenever I forget to do them properly. I have gone from barely able to hold a 30-second plank to being able to hold a minute plank (times 5, and also with great stability).Outside of fitness training, Irene also constantly gives me nutrition advice, and checks in on my weight and other body measurements regularly. She helps set my eating schedule to help control my weight without me having to be too picky about what I eat. I still eat pretty much whatever I want, and still able to lose some weight.Getting undivided attention from Irene is very valuable. We all have to whatever we can during the pandemic to stay fit and healthy. I am happy with my results, and would recommend Irene to anyone seeking nutrition and/or fitness advice.

A great life coach with lots of experience on many different issues. Super impressed with Irenes credentials and cultural knowledge, too.

Ive been working with Irene for the last three months with two goals in mind: 1) Improve awareness and practice of my nutrition 2) Develop a consistent workout schedule.Three months later and Ive acheived so much. Ive gotten the confidence to explore my interests unapologetically. (Im 52 and have started playing basketball), and am working out almost daily. Ive built an inherent awareness to what Im purchasing at the grocery store and am mindful about what Im eating overall. I never had the goal to lose weight, but thats happening, too. I never had the goal to rethink my career path and thats happening, too.Most importantly, Irene is easy to talk to. Shes nonjudgemental, patient, and supportive. It is because of her patience and guidance that Ive made as much as progress as Ive had. Im stubborn as hell and Ive changed so much for the better, thank you, Irene!
