About me

"Hi there! I'm thrilled to share my journey with you and how it's led me to become a passionate holistic practitioner. It all started when I was just eleven years old, going through a difficult family divorce. As a sensitive child, I struggled with the stress, but a chance encounter with a Kung Fu studio set me on a path that would shape my entire life.

Through my martial arts training, I discovered the ancient wisdom of Taoism, a 6000-year-old system for human health and well-being. This holistic approach encompasses everything from philosophy and self-healing to balanced diet, herbal medicine, healing arts, sexology, mastery, and success. I was captivated by the idea of living what you believe and sharing it with others.

As I continued my journey, I explored various martial arts styles but always found myself drawn to the more graceful, integrated, and healing arts. In my 20s, I earned a 300-hour certification in Japanese Shiatsu Massage, learning the art of energy healing through thumb and palm palpations and gentle stretching. I also delved into Hatha Yoga, eventually obtaining a 250-hour certification to teach the world-famous 26/2 Hot Yoga sequence.

Throughout my journey, I have been fortunate to study with many incredible instructors, including the esteemed Dr. S. T. Chang, who deepened my knowledge of Taoist Medical Qigong.
