ABOUT ME
I was born in China, a country with the largest population in the world, yet I grew up feeling invisible and cut off. I numbed myself through years of cultural oppression and constant abrupt separations from my family. Every cell of my body remembers the devastation of an isolated, diminished life and the agony of being “the best robot”, trained only to obey and serve. Outside, I appeared to be living. Inside, I was dying like a withering flower bud that never got a chance to blossom.
​
Fortunately, my hunger for life evoked these two questions in me: What keeps us small and silenced? And what blooms life and makes it meaningful? In the asking and listening to these two questions, I walked through many unfamiliar terrains of self-discovery. Inevitably, I had many times the sense of falling on my face, crashing into walls, and getting burned into ashes. Damn! No one told me it would be that hard. However, I knew I'd never go back to un-live my life again. Teachers in many different forms have come to show me the way, share their gifts, and guide my progression. I'm constantly reminded to stay open to the mystery and the unknown as they bring the greatest teachings.
​
The yearning for home is the calling of home. The scream of wanting to be alive is the voice of life. When I ignored the calling, I was trapped in suffering. When I began to listen and let the calling guide me, I woke up to the life inside of me.
SOME SIGNIFICANT TRAINING THAT SHAPED THE WORK I DO -
​
While Conscious Dance Movement and Conscious Communication practices are the main format of my current group work offering, everything I've learned, trained, and practiced are informing the what and the how.
It's been a blessing that medicine from many disciplines has helped me heal and grow. I learned that every modality has its unique gifts as well as limitations. Therefore, I weave these modalities to empower organic, embodied, and ground-up transformative experiences for my fellow humans.

SOME OF MY PERSONAL IDENTITIES -
- I'm a proud single mom gifted by an incredible being who has been my playmate, teammate, teacher, and of course, always my dear child. By sharing my life with my son, I'm constantly learning, stretching, and growing in utterly rewarding ways.
- I am a consciousness movement dancer who cannot live happily ever after without moving my body in rhythms. This sacred embodiment practice has shown me that there's no way out to freedom and wholeness but through the body. A vast ocean of wisdom emerges when I am able to listen to my body's natural expressions. The dance has become an essential part of my spiritual practices that informs how I work with others.
- I'm a lifetime student of Buddhism mindfulness. To me, open awareness is fertile soil to grow all wisdom in any given moment and situation. I'm devoted to the practice of integrating my human being and my spiritual being to my best capacity.
