Heal The Past. Transform and Claim the Future.
Each one of us has wise and loving ancestors who are ready to support and guide us. This is true even if we have challenging and painful experiences with our families of origin, know little or nothing about our genealogy, or are adopted.
By connecting and relating to our ancestors in a conscious way, we have the opportunity to experience a deep sense of wholeness and belonging and to transform and heal personal and inter-generational patterns, challenges and traumas. When we are empowered with an understanding of who and where we come from, we can more fully receive and embody the blessings and gifts that are unique to our family lineages and better fulfill our personal destinies.
I would be honored and delighted to support you and your people for personal, family and greater cultural healing.

The Work:
works cross-culturally, is non-dogmatic, and can benefit people with any or no religious or spiritual path. It is also appropriate for people with different levels of experience, including skeptics and those who are new to ancestor work.
You will be guided and supported into "journeying," which entails a slight shift from our day-to-day state of awareness and consciousness. From this state, the process continues with an assessment of one's four primary lineages (mother's mothers, mother's fathers, father's mothers, and father's fathers), and includes a systematic and in-depth healing of each of the lineages.
Depending on your cultural background or upbringing, connecting to your ancestors may seem like a strange proposition. But wherever your people are from, chances are that if we go far back enough, we will find that relating to the ancestors was a skill that your people practiced. Many cultures have lost this custom and skill but it is easy to remember and reclaim if we choose.
Sessions are held by Zoom, Skype, phone or in-person at my office in San Francisco. This work is as powerful in-person or from a distance. The first session is always 90 min. Subsequent sessions are 60-90 min depending on your preference and needs.

About You:
I welcome people from different ancestries, cultures and a wide spectrum of experiences. I am especially passionate about supporting:
- Emergent and existing community leaders and changemakers.
- People who, despite having had life history that includes challenging and traumatic experiences, have already been quite impactful or successful by the world's standards. (How much more impact would we have from an empowered and healed place of wholeness?)
- People of Asian descent, including Chinese people, who once disconnected or "rebelled" and now want to reclaim their cultural heritage;
- Young adults who are disconnected from parents and/or families;
- Folks who hold some kind of "outsider" identity; people who are rebels and other status-quo disruptors;
- People who have cross-cultural and/or multi-cultural backgrounds or lived experiences; and
- People who have trauma in their personal lived experiences or within their family lineages.
About Me:
First and foremost, I am grateful for my most important teachers: my ancestors including my parents and grandparents and all of the ones before them. I have been engaged in Chinese ancestral reverence practices since I was a child and have been deeply engaged in my own personal practice of ancestral healing and reclamation of Chinese ancestral reverence practices for 15+ years. I have also trained in Dr. Daniel Foor's method of ancestral lineage healing.
My people are most recently from Guangdong and Taiwan. I was born in the lands of the Macpuche, Chango and Inca, in South America. I currently live on Ohlone lands, more popularly known as San Francisco, California in the United States. I spent my childhood and young adulthood living in different places around the world.
I speak conversational Mandarin and Cantonese and am fluent in Spanish. My work is my great love and my form of activism. My work is also compassionate, and trauma and consent-informed.
I am also an avid student of Chinese ancestral practices (including death and elevation rituals), Buddhism, Taoism, and Chinese folk religion and have been deeply engaged in the work of exploring and reclaiming Chinese ritual and ancestral practices so that they are truly mutually beneficial and are free from the influences of patriarchy, sexism, and undue guilt, fear, and rigidity.
