About

You can't be
well in parts.

The stress, the anxiety, the heartbreak you keep pushing aside aren't separate from your health: they shape all of it.

Hi, I'm Jiayao. I've spent my life in rooms that weren't built for me — the youngest, the foreigner, the only one — working twice as hard and holding it all quietly. More than once, the stress pulled me under. Each time, I found my way back up, and learned the same truth: we're only ever as good as where our minds are.

That's why I created The Unnoticed Studio. Mental health coaching is where it all came together: my psychology training, my own story, and the years I spent figuring it out alone. I know how heavy it gets when you carry all the emotions by yourself. Walking with you along your journey to find the way is what I do best — and the most meaningful work I've found.

What clients say

In their own words.

"Highly recommendable sessions! Before these sessions, I was very lost in which path to take in my professional future and what I wanted my life to look like. With Jiayao I was able to think about what’s most important for me and what are the pillars that will make every decision I make be worth it for my future. She helped me understand what my necessities and wishes are. Now, I’m able to be more aware of what I value and what helps me be my happiest version in my daily life, something I wish everybody was able to experiment. I will always be grateful."

"Jiayao helped me discover how I felt about pressing financial and career-related issues with her value-driven coaching. It clarified my motivations and goals around what really mattered to me and allowed me to move forward with a greater sense of purpose! She was excellent at uncovering the underlying reasons that were hard to grasp myself. Jiayao is encouraging, discerning and truly one of the great coaches I have had the chance to work with. Coaching with her was an eye-opening experience and I really recommend her!"

— E.C, Paris

"Working with Jiayao has been a truly uplifting experience. She brings such warmth and positivity to each session, and somehow always knows how to help you believe in yourself — even when you’re struggling to. Her sessions are thoughtfully structured, and I especially appreciate how she ends each one with clear, actionable takeaways to work on. The consistent recaps at the start of each session also helped me stay grounded and motivated. I always felt supported and seen."

— X.Q.Z, USA

"Jiayao helped me get back on the horse with my fitness plan. Her contagious enthusiasm encouraged me to stay with it! The coaching tuned into underlying core values that led to success in reaching and exceeding objectives set forth. Her approach is warm, clear, and inspiring. Her understanding of mental health and specifically the interconnectedness of mind and body came through in compassionate and skillful support. I highly recommend Jiayao’s services for anyone seeking an exceptional coaching experience."

— T.K, USA

"It went so much better than the previous times that I’ve interviewed... I did practice leaning into my strengths and speaking with confidence. And I was a lot less nervous. I was more kind of authentic in myself. These sessions have been so super helpful. I’m so grateful for your time... I’m super grateful for your genius and your ability to create a safe space for me."
