About Me

My life has been a healing and awakening journey. By the time my elders immigrated here from China, they had already experienced spiritual fragmentation as a result of poverty, famine, colonization, and revolution which I inherited. In my mid-20s I was hospitalized for a mental health crisis and received the standard therapy and medication. Yet I continued to experience physiological symptoms due to the accumulation of unprocessed trauma.
 
I sought and received true healing from traditional healers such as Chinese medicine doctors, curanderas, shamans, and decolonizing therapists. I documented stories from my elders who survived war and destitution. I realigned with my divinity through ancestral spirituality, collective healing, bodywork, plant medicine, farming, art, music, and movement. I retrieved and rebirthed my soul through grief, dream, inner child, and shadow work. I not only found healing, but experienced a profound spiritual awakening in the process.
 
Humans continue to colonize nature without seeing that we are a part of it. It is time to transmute our fear 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 need each other.
