In 1961, I was born in Taipei, Taiwan, the youngest child in the family of 6. My parents suffered from untreated anxiety and depression, which created a lot of dysfunction in our family life. Since age 12, I’ve experienced a deep feeling of emptiness and later, I realized that was one of the symptoms of depression.
In 1990, my husband decided to go to the graduate school in the United States, and with the financial support from his parents; I was able to pursue my Master Degrees in Counseling program at Eastern Michigan University.
The first year of “culture shock” put our marriage to the test. Due to a lack of understanding of the addictive part of our relationship, our marriage ended with divorce. Although it was a dark part of my life, I realized that all of the years of studying in Confucianism and Taoism has somehow given me the strengths to conquer my fear of the unknown, stay grounded and complete my graduate school program in Counseling.
Between 1988 and 1991, both my parents passed away due to physical illness. After the divorce, I was given $5,000 to get a car and find a job to support myself. I felt I was totally alone in this world. I got a job as a direct care staff in a group home where the residents were severely mentally ill.
With no contact with any of my family members and friends, I became more and more depressed each day, and eventually lost interest in life. It was at that time, I continued hearing a little voice saying to me, “Don’t give up! You can do this, I will help you!” Even though I had a lot of self-doubt and feeling hopeless most of time, that little voice kept me going.
In 1992, I remember one evening while taking a break in the back yard of the group home, I realized: I am a single woman in a foreign country with no money saved in the bank; I have lost my husband, my parents, and receiving no support from any of my family or friends, yet looking at the beautiful sunset, the Sun, the Sky, the Trees, and the Earth, I felt connected to all of them!
In that moment, I realized it must be what “whole and complete” feels like! I experienced a deep sense of joy, mixed with love and peace, even though I am totally alone in this world, I don’t need a relationship to make me feel whole and complete, I AM whole and complete! I can accomplish anything I want in this world regardless where I am and what I have in my life! I see myself like a caterpillar breaking out of the cocoon, and becoming a beautiful butterfly, exploring the world with curiosity and total self-confidence!
Based on this powerful experience, I was able to build a positive relationship with myself, and keep myself in a place where I am feeling love, peace and joy 24/7 no matter what is happening in my life. Eventually, I developed a specific therapy and named it “Inner Twin work”. After seeing my clients transform and heal themselves by practicing “Inner Twin Work”, I decided to write a book titled “Before I die, I would like to meet ME!” I know this is my calling to share this secret of healing in life. I am honored to be the messenger of the Universe!
The 30-day IOP treatment I created is based on the education I received from Eastern and Western world, as well as years experience providing intensive therapy at both inpatient hospital (Sierra Tucson) and outpatient treatment facilities. The benefit you’ll get from this program is that you’ll be able to trust and honor yourself, live a life that is free of fear or loneliness, and enjoy your life to the fullest!
I am blessed with everything that has happened in my life. My goal is to help you recognize the beautiful divine soul inside of you, and utilize the resources within you to heal yourself! I’m committed to walk with you on this amazing journey, and witness your spiritual growth and self-empowerment. I healed myself, and so can you!
