About Me

My life has been a healing journey. By the time my elders immigrated here from China, they had already experienced spiritual fragmentation as a result of colonization, civil war, poverty, famine, political extremism, and uprooting from homeland which I inherited. In my mid-20s I experienced a spiritual crisis but was only offered medications and colonized forms of therapy which did not address my underlying trauma. I experienced insomnia, panic attacks, and other physiological symptoms due to the accumulation of unprocessed trauma over generations.

 

My spiritual awakening was facilitated by decolonizing therapists, shamans, and other healers. I elicited stories from elders who survived war and destitution, which they had been too humble to share with me. I reindigenized my relationship with Mother Earth through ancestral spirituality, bodywork, plant medicine, farming, healing in community through art, music, and movement, and rebirthing my soul through grief, dream, inner child, and shadow work.

 

Humans continue to colonize nature without seeing that we are a part of it. It is time to transmute our pain into love so we can live in harmony with all the other beings that we depend on for our existence and who are our family. We are going through a collective awakening and I am here to facilitate our healing.
