About me
My name is Kaonou and I have stood at the top of every metric that was supposed to matter. The title. The income. The recognition. The results. And still felt like something essential was missing. Not burnout. Not failure. Something quieter and harder to name.
That disconnect is what led me to build Ebullient Me. Not from a textbook. From living inside that gap myself and finding my way through it.
Background
I spent nearly a decade leading large-scale SaaS healthcare software implementations across ten of the country's most complex health institutions, MD Anderson, UCSF, Partners Healthcare, Parkland, and others, managing change at scale for over one million users.

I spent nearly a decade leading large-scale SaaS healthcare software implementations across ten of the country's most complex health institutions, MD Anderson, UCSF, Partners Healthcare, Parkland, and others, managing change at scale for over one million users.
From there, I moved into high-pressure operations at a Fortune 500 company — real-time decisions, volatile situations, no pause button. Composure is not optional. Neither is results.
I understand what it costs to perform at a high level without the internal infrastructure to sustain it.
Across both worlds, I watched brilliant people succeed externally while quietly coming apart internally. I recognized the pattern because I had lived it myself.

I am a Certified Reiki Master in the Usui Tradition, a Certified Purpose Coach, and a Certified Scrum Master. I also mentor emerging founders through the nation's largest network of expert, volunteer business mentors in their earliest and most uncertain chapters.
My work integrates these disciplines not as a menu of techniques, but as a single coherent practice, one that meets you at the level where the real work lives.

I built my first business from zero, a first-mover eyelash studio before the market existed. I scaled a franchise. I led federal partnership programs. I have been the founder, the operator, the consultant, and the person sitting across from someone in crisis.

I built my first business from zero, a first-mover eyelash studio before the market existed. I scaled a franchise. I led federal partnership programs. I have been the founder, the operator, the consultant, and the person sitting across from someone in crisis.
What I know is this: the gap between where you are and where you want to be is rarely a strategy problem. It is a coherence problem. And coherence is exactly what this work restores. If you are ready to stop managing yourself and start leading from somewhere real , this is where that begins.
