I’m a healer, permaculturalist, and entrepreneur. I founded and ran The Well Organic Kitchen in Oakland and was also General Manager & Co-Owner at The Center SF: a wellness event space, tea house, and yoga studio in San Francisco. I am now co-founder and CEO of The Portal, a wellness social club and biohacking spa in Marin, CA. I’m a facilitator of sound healing, yoga, kundalini, reiki, and past life regression hypnosis. My life path always leads me back to community and collective joy and liberation.
HOW DO YOU EMBRACE DIVERSITY AND/OR UNCONVENTIONALITY?
My whole life has been as a bridger between worlds, honoring the differences in all while finding gifts in connection, sharing, and collaboration. Growing up between the Bay Area and China has allowed me to find magic in both individualism and collectivism, as we navigate our way from co-dependence to inter-dependence as a society. At age of 21 I promised myself to never work for someone else again but rather to pursue my own path of creating businesses & environments that foster collective healing & belonging.
HOW DO YOU EXPRESS YOURSELF CREATIVELY?
Through creating businesses, through dance, through experience design
HOW DO YOU THINK YOU CAN CONTRIBUTE TO THE COMMUNITY? WHAT DO YOU FEEL YOU ARE AN EXPERT IN AND COULD GIVE ADVICE TO THE COMMUNITY ON?
I love connecting with other incredible women. It's such a joy to be in community together and lift each other up. I would happily chat with anyone looking to start their own business. I would love mentorship in expanding companies as a female CEO.
