My Story
A marriage between contemporary science and ancient wisdom
For the past 16 years, I’ve loved my work. I’m grateful to every client who continues to teach me how diverse and beautiful the human experience can be, and how I can best support them.
I feel it’s my purpose as a psychologist to serve each person on an individual level, where mutual learning and understanding can really happen.
As a Chinese-Australian I’ve always felt connected with my family’s history and felt it was important to bring the best of the East and West into my life.
I have a deep respect for the achievements of psychology and neuroscience. I’ve balanced this with my passion for Eastern philosophies and practices, leading me to focus my study on a range of healing modalities. These are primarily yoga, meditation and mindfulness.
“The wisdom of the East has a strictly practical aim which is not mere knowledge about the universe; it aims at a transformation of the individual and of their feelings for life through experience rather than belief.”
- Alan Watts
My academic and clinical work bridges East and West. As part of my PhD research, I developed MiYoga, a mindfulness-based yoga program designed for children with disabilities, specifically Cerebral Palsy. This program combines the mindful movement of Hatha Yoga with contemporary psychological and neuroscience frameworks.
MiYoga was shown to improve attention, consistency, and impulse control in children and adolescents. It has since been adapted into a mobile app, Evolve21, for both iOS and Android.
Although I found research deeply rewarding, I missed the working directly with clients. This led me back to private practice, now offered via Telehealth, making support accessible no matter where you are in the world.
Today, my professional development continues to be shaped by integrated mind-body therapies, my cultural background, and the evolving needs of the people I work with. I’m passionate about applying this unique knowledge in a way that’s practical, compassionate, and empowering.
Most importantly, I’m interested in your story. My approach is person-centred and tailored to your needs, there’s no one-size-fits-all. Together, we’ll uncover your own path to meaningful change and explore what supports you best to move forward.
