Who Am I Anyway?
This is Me in a Nutshell!
I am Neena Perez, a transformational life coach who champions women to overcome their past and build the future they envision.
My journey has been one of profound transformation—from facing childhood molestation, surviving domestic violence, and navigating teen pregnancy, to rising above challenges with resilience and faith.
With over three decades of personal experience and extensive study, I have mastered the art of turning adversity into strength. I hold a Bachelor’s Degree, along with certifications in Spiritual Leadership, NLP, Life Coaching, and Positive Intelligence.
My life’s work is to empower women to shed the burdens of their past, just as I have, using God’s grace and guidance.
In my powerful autobiography, “Hit Me With Your Best Shot: How I Overcame a Hard-Hitting Life,” I bare my soul, sharing the harrowing details of my journey through abuse, teen pregnancy, domestic violence, and poverty.
My candid storytelling serves as a beacon of hope, reminding readers that even the darkest of circumstances can be overcome with resilience and determination.
BEYOND THE KITCHEN

Armed with a Bachelor’s in Hospitality and Culinary Management, I curated unforgettable dining experiences through extensive expertise in event planning, cooking, hospitality management, and operations.
My diverse background spanning entrepreneurship and institutional settings provides a well-rounded perspective.
Beyond the kitchen, I have found personal development to be the transformative power in my life, getting my NLP Master certification, life coaching, and positive intelligence coaching certifications. I have honed the ability to develop and inspire leaders within my teams. As an in-house coach, I have guided numerous professionals, helping them unlock their full potential and achieve their goals.
My passion for coaching and leadership has seamlessly blended with my culinary prowess, creating a unique approach that nourishes both the palate and the mind.
