East meets West

Hi there!

I'm so glad you found your way.​ Perhaps like me you have been on a life-long quest to experience optimal health and help others liberate themselves from suffering and debilitating pain.

 

I went back to school (in midlife) to become a counselor and middle school volleyball coach. My work soon took me down the path of addiction counseling and trauma work where clients taught me that their "disorder" was actually a brilliant and adaptive way to cope with the challenges of life.

 

Fast forward to being trained in Brainspotting (BSP) - a pathway to healing and growth that validated my belief that we all have the answers within. Over the years, I have learned the benefits of integrating the wisdom of ancient eastern and indigenous healing practices with structured western disciplines.

 

I am passionate about supporting the well-being of healing facilitators both in and out of the BSP community. My commitment to supporting fellow practitioners take many forms --

  - BSP trainer and consultant for practitioners from around the globe

  - co-host of the BSP Embodied Learning Circles

  - consultant for couples co-regulating work (Imago, Parts work & BSP)

  - co-host of the Chicago and Beyond peer support group

 

Inspired by resilient clients I met at Above and Beyond Family Recovery Center, a holistic outpatient clinic on the west side of Chicago, I founded Hana Wellness Studios to make creative healing available to anyone courageous and open to change. Brain Body Revolution is the professional extension of that original vision.

 

As a first-generation Asian immigrant, I has a personal story of addiction - trauma - grief - chronic physical and emotional pain. Perhaps this is what led to my becoming reiki-informed as a master practitioner and teacher in the Mikao Isui tradition, and trauma responsive as I integrate breath work, SunDo Energy Healing, EFT and Body Tapping, and Pilates Therapy to help clients access the root of their issue and go deeper for long-term transformation.

                     

If you're a fellow healer, I hope you will consider attending an introductory Brainspotting Training. And If you're here looking for personal counseling or coaching, I am happy to explore possibilities -with you. The work ahead is about letting go of limiting beliefs, gaining clarity, finding freedom, and a renewed sense of who and what you are.
