I grew up in China, and my interest in healing arts was influenced by my aunt and uncle. I struggled with low blood pressure and low chi (circulating life energy) and given my slight frame, I felt weak in my own body. My uncle addressed my condition with Chinese Massage and herbs, and the treatments were fundamental to my healing process; helping me to rebuild my strength from within. Little did I know that his insights would serve as the essence of my informal education, and my inspiration to become a Chinese Medicine practitioner. He showed me how to use Chinese herbs and implement massage to keep myself healthy on a daily basis. My aunt, a licensed acupuncturist, also shared her knowledge of Chinese Medicine. I know her treatments worked in tandem with the massage and herbs to restore my blood levels and build a powerful body. Now, regardless of my slight frame, I feel healthy and strong.

Inspired by my own physical transformation, I decided to study Chinese and Thai Massage in China. I practiced there successfully for five years. I moved to the United Sates to study Swedish and Shiatsu massage. I graduated from New York College of Health Professionals (Syosset, Long Island) in 2005 and received my New York State massage therapist license. I worked as a social service coordinator in a senior citizen center and observed that many patients were suffering from muscle pain. They experienced tremendous relief after I treated them with massage therapy. I have been working closely with a New York-based chiropractor to develop treatment plans for pain management. I incorporate Chinese herbs, Qigong, and Tuina into my practice depending on the client's needs. Inclusive of my massage practice, I am working toward a degree in acupuncture to better assist my clients in attaining their highest levels of health.

I joined the LYT family in August 2007. I am blessed to have an opportunity to work with many talented therapists, and to perform Massage Therapy in such a professional yet relaxed atmosphere. I look forward to helping you find relaxation through massage.
