“To shine your brightest light is to be who you truly are.”
- Roy T. Bennett
I was born in China, immigrated to Canada at a young age, and grew up between Montreal and New York. From a young age, I could subtly feel other people’s emotions and energy field, sometimes believing them to be my own. I couldn’t understand this ability and for the longest time, it was a source of pain and confusion. I struggled with my sense of identity and later traumatic events only exacerbated that.
In university, I felt called to study psychology in order to better understand myself, others, and the human mind in general. I completed my Bachelor’s with a Specialization in Psychology and went on to finish my Master’s in Counseling Psychology a few years later.
In my early 20s, I experienced a series of life-altering spiritual awakenings that have taken me down a path of unexpected twists and turns. These adventures brought me to the Amazon jungle, where I worked with powerful plant medicines, to silent meditation retreats where I experienced my first ego death and out-of-body event. This all led to my eventual Kundalini activation, which took me many years to embody, including passing through my first Dark Night of the Soul.
My healing journey hasn’t been easy, but it has been the most important work I have done. What was once a source of pain is now my greatest gift. Today, my life is about integrating the spiritual with the physical, to live a life of embodiment, expression, empowerment and self-love. I am passionate about helping others do the same.
Some things that bring me joy and nourish my soul are time alone in nature, meditation, being in the water, sunlight on my face, the sound of laughter from my children, and helping others discover their highest self.
