About Me
As a first-generation Taiwanese immigrant, I often balance Eastern and Western perspectives shaped by my bi-cultural upbringing. During significant life transitions, I find comfort in my Taiwanese roots through food, art, or travel. One of my favorite childhood memories is observing the women in my family make herbal soups in the kitchen to support their hormonal and digestive health. The simmering soup, fragrant herbs, and the lively conversations they shared while I listened felt soothing and empowering. This traditional knowledge of using food and herbs for healing introduced me to intuitive cooking as a form of medicine.
Nourishing my own health through holistic modalities and supporting my daughter through her tough four-year journey with traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) to treat chronic eczema reinforced my faith in the life-altering benefits of alternative medicine such as TCM and Ayurveda. Assisting her with the challenges of eczema since infancy was difficult, but it led us to a natural healing path with herbs, a balanced diet, and consistent lifestyle practices. TCM offered us hope, while Ayurveda now provides us with practical tools for sustaining a better quality of life and extended health span.
Our personal healing journeys motivated me to pursue a comprehensive education in Ayurveda, as well as to actively explore various healing modalities that intricately address both energy and psychology. This pursuit has allowed me to better understand the interconnectedness of our physical and emotional well-being. As a lifelong Ayurveda student, I am committed to ongoing learning in this vast field of science.
Soul Equilibrium is a dedicated platform designed for busy women who are ready to transform their quality of life and extend their health spans. I am genuinely excited to share my extensive Ayurveda toolbox with clients who feel committed to let go of what no longer serves them, making space for healing and growth. Discover resourceful content that is created with a unique blend of Ayurvedic wisdom and, more often than not, recipes rooted in Taiwanese tradition. These resources are designed to support and enhance your wellness journey in meaningful ways. Our inclusive community fosters a supportive environment, where we can all embrace our unique journeys with open MINDS and open HEARTS, encouraging personal growth and collective empowerment.
