Judy Xu

Life & Holistic Health Coach, CEO of Balance Group

Judy Xu

Life & Holistic Health Coach, CEO of Balance Group

Judy has spent years in Fortune 500 companies. She has excelled but also been stressed, burn out, lost. However she has been able to transform and manifest a life that she truly loves - and that looks very different from the life she led over a decade ago. She shifted from ego-serving to soul-serving; she evolved from unhealthy achiever to healthy achiever to powerful creator.

Judy created the Balance Group of companies with a vision that is aligned to her true purpose of supporting people in their journey to health, balance and personal transformation.

As a visionary leader she is innovating to create a symbiotic relationship between purpose and profit, to build a human-centric organization, integrating coaching, nurturing and traditional performance management to support the team around her.

In her heart she has always been a coach. She coaches as a leader, as a wife, as a mum of two young kids and of course as an executive and life coach.

Judy has coached senior executives across Hong Kong, China, continental Europe, the UK and USA. She has clients from across a wide range of industries including Banking & Finance, Health & Medical, Consulting, Legal, Education, Hospitality and Industrials.
