Helen Chin

Twenty years of working with communities in the public and nonprofit sectors have given me deep insight into the systems that shape our lives—the practices that spark wonder or limit our sense of choice, and the quiet wisdom within us that longs to be heard.

I am Helen Chin, Founder and Principal of Sacred Tune-Up. I am a facilitator, emergent strategy practitioner, and liberatory coach. Sacred Tune-Up is my commitment of sacred attunement—an offering of care and attention to the movement during this time of polycrisis, all in service of collective liberation.

At Sacred Tune-Up, we partner with individuals and organizations to arrive at their movement north star, clarify life-affirming values, and deepen connections. Using frameworks of transformative justice, disability justice, abolition, anti-oppression analysis, Buddhist mindfulness, and Indigenous and relational worldviews, we guide people and groups in taking next steps aligned with liberation and wholeness. As a certified Liberatory Coach through the Coaching for Healing, Justice, and Liberation Program, I thrive in partnering with emerging and organizational leaders working toward systems change. Together, we cultivate clarity, alignment, and action in service of a more just and interconnected world.

My colonial bonafides include earning an M.A. in Urban Sustainability from Antioch University Los Angeles and a B.S. in Organismic Biology, Evolution, and Ecology from UCLA. In 2021, I was appointed to the Los Angeles County Commission on Human Relations, serving as Commission Chair from 2024 to 2025. I also served on the national steering committee for the Government Alliance on Race and Equity, supporting a national network of government entities striving for racial justice, until 2022.
