My Story

I am thrilled that we have found each other. Many people wonder how others come to the place they are in themselves, in their life and in their work, so if you are curious about my history you can read the following.

 My journey has been a winding one as many of yours have.  I was born into a super traditional Asian American family that values hard work, business acumen, and old school sensibilities.  Since I practice astrology, I will share that I am an Aquarian woman, and if you know a simple characteristic of Aquarians, it's that we don't easily fit into any norm.  In my astrological chart I have a few water signs present, water being the element associated with emotion, intuition, the mystical, sensitivity, imagination.  These traits were not familiar or recognized as something to pursue in my family system, so I tried to fit myself into a different paradigm, and in doing so, relegated my gifts to hidden hobbies.  Focusing instead on what I imagined was the only way to live. As anyone who has tried being anything other than their true self discovers, you can only keep this up for so long, and in the end your true self will and must find her way out!  

While living and working in LA, I began studying meditation deeply, learning amazing tools and skills towards self empowerment and personal awareness. I’ve studied with several teachers I admire and have worked with guides and mentors in order to deepen and strengthen my own personal awareness. Currently I have blended knowledge of self development, astrological studies, meditation, visualization, movement, breath work, writing in tandem with a holistic wellness practice where I incorporate tools such as herbs and balanced nutrition which enhance joy, health and the ability to perceive beauty in life.

I personally practice everything that I share with my clients myself and I know that building the muscle towards a holistic and joy filled life takes practice. In the span of time I’ve integrated all these techniques, I can honestly say that I have never felt more alive, embodied, excited and peaceful within and it is my passion and desire to share this spirit with others. We can change society and the world this way by each individually bettering ourselves.

I've worked with both men and women in creative fields, in finance, homemakers, retirees and young adults.  Most of my clients lead very busy lives and need a guide to focus their internal landscape towards their maximal growth, and positive impact. My clients seek wisdom on their current paths and I am a guide to reflect their inner strengths and desires finding resonance with true personal meaning for each person- through career, family, lifestyle, health or relationships.  

The prerequisite to our collaboration is an open mind, and a desire to learn and grow within yourself.  Just like anything meaningful, you will be revealed within this process and I hope you will find it is as magical as I do.
