“I have always been curious about what we share in common across culture, gender and age. Throughout my time in the U.S. as a Japanese immigrant, I’ve become passionate about elements as our universal language and as the essential components of life. I fell in love with Classical Chinese Medicine because it is such a powerful tool to treat our holistic health with a deep understanding of the elements and their alchemy. The intention of my practice is to liberate life by carefully listening to and translating the voices of the elements within us and gently tending and nourishing them for well being.”- Kyoko
“As a childhood cancer survivor, Chinese medicine has been deeply embedded into my narrative of survival, hope and experience of transformation and resiliency in the world. Now, it is with a tremendous sense of gratitude and responsibility that I am able to support my community and the world with knowledge of this incredible medicine, and help bring a much needed balance back to our lives. I wake up everyday feeling honored to share it.” - Alicia
“At a young age, I was drawn to the healing arts, culture, and connecting with people. With all that is shifting in the world, now is the time to learn how to trust that inner intuition that brought you here...and start gaining tools to create mental, physical, and spiritual healing. As a coach and facilitator on the healing path, I invite people to journey into their roots, embrace their authentic self, and live to their bravest.” - Raya

“My journey into Holistic Healthcare began with a deep curiosity about the connection between nature and the human body. I was drawn to the idea that we are a reflection of the seasons and elements, intricately connected to the world around us. Chinese Medicine teaches us that the balance of yin and yang and the five elemental phases-wood, fire, earth, metal, and water, are at the core of our health. As an aspiring practitioner, I am inspired by the body’s ability to heal when it’s in harmony with these natural forces. My intention is to help others discover balance within, by listening to the wisdom of their bodies and the elements. Guiding with compassion, mindfulness, and a deep respect for the ancient traditions of this medicine.”
