My Work
Professional Development
My career began as a middle school teacher in the mid 1980’s in Taiwan and I experienced the significance of parenting issues. I then worked in the Life Potential Institute for 3 years where I received the Parent Effective Training.
The longing for Truth then took me to India where I received meditation and breath-work trainings at the Osho International Commune. In 1996, I initiated a Meditation Center in Taiwan. I then made multiple trips to Europe to receive Learning Love & Inner-Child Work trainings. These global experiences enriched me with the integration of Eastern and Western cultures.
In 2009, I relocated to the San Francisco Bay Area to study counseling psychology and Interpersonal Neurobiology. I then earned a certificate in Spiritual Counseling and a Ph.D in East-West Psychology at California Institute of Integral Studies. Informed by my study : The Tao of the Inner Child—An Integral Healing Path, my work is not a psychotherapeutic work but to hold a whole-person perspective on linking the noumenon and phenomenon to integrate our body/mind/spirit through Self-nurturing process.
Integral Healing Path
The theoretical formulation of the Integral Healing Path is based on the integration of Eastern spiritual wisdom on the multiplicity of human consciousness and the Western scientific findings on our developmental tasks.
The etymology of the Tao connotes the Way we must walk as a conscious living path. Tao Te Ching chapter 1 states: “Constantly in Non-being, one wishes to contemplate its subtlety. Constantly in Being, one wishes to contemplate its path.” Grounded in facing life events to actualize our inborn essence, this healing path sees life challenges as reflective mirrors for healing with the support of our adult consciousness and the cosmic Mother within each of us. As chapter 52 states: “The world has a beginning; it is the mother of the world. Having the mother, one can know the son. Having known the son, one should stay with the mother. Then, to the end of one’s life, there will be no danger.”
Psychic Map of the Inner-Child

The healing rationale is that the Psychic Map of the Inner-Child represents the cosmological macrocosm and microcosm that the Inner-Child is a metaphor symbolizing our psychic becoming with four irreducible factors: cosmic essence, personal essence, vulnerability, and protection. As children, we needed to look outwardly to rely on the environment providing for our dependency needs and thus became identified with our layer of protection; as grown-ups, we can learn to consciously reverse our attention inwardly to foster our personal essence and reunite with the cosmic Mother within through self-reparenting process. As Tao Te Ching chapter 40 states:”Reversal is the movement of the Way. Weakness is the function of the Way.” Reversal connotes returning and weakness connotes our vulnerable softness.
Understanding our basic dependency needs and the natural drive of self-regulation, we learn to explore the manifestations of our four layers’ psyche in daily life to coordinate and harmonize our psychic layers toward a unified whole-person. Rajneesh explained: “If you become one, contentment follows of its own accord. If you are many, discontent is natural. If you are many, you live in constant conflict. If you are one, conflict disappears; you have come home. This is what Taoists call crystallization.” Each of us is a unique child of the cosmic Mother; restoring the metaphysically umbilical connection with our shared Mother as innate healing resource, we can go beyond the restrictions of cultural beliefs to attain our human commonality and ultimate transformation—a path of making sense and divinizing our embodied living.
