The Short Version

I'm an Intuitive Channel & Belief Guide who helps accomplished, heart-centered leaders find and release the hidden beliefs keeping them from their full power. I've led thousands of sessions with clients all over the world — Hollywood creatives, wellness entrepreneurs, musicians, activists, artists — and I specialize in one thing: finding the exact belief that's running the show beneath the surface, tracing it to its origin, and clearing it so everything downstream can shift.

But if you want the real story of how I got here . . . keep reading.

The Long Version

I spent over a decade building a career in camera in television production and commercials. I graduated from USC's School of Cinematic Arts, traveled the world on set, and worked on shows like The Ranch with Ashton Kutcher and Sam Elliott and Last Man Standing with Tim Allen. I once filmed the sunrise over the Great Pyramids in Egypt. By any measure, I had made it.

But here's what people didn't see.

I was working 12-plus-hour days with long commutes. I missed weddings, birthdays, my kids' school events. Someone else told me when to show up, when to eat, when I could go home, and yes, even when I could use the bathroom. I had zero time freedom. And underneath all the accomplishment . . . I was bored. Restless. Quietly aware that something was pulling me somewhere else, even though I couldn't name where.

I didn't talk about it. Because how do you walk away from the thing you went to school for? The thing you were known for? The career you built your identity around? I had a pension, a union, health insurance for my family. I worked with a team that felt like family — we moved from show to show together. The reasons to stay were loud and logical. The reasons to leave were just . . . a feeling.

And I didn't trust the feeling. Not yet.

Here's something else I didn't talk about.

Growing up Chinese-American, I understood early what it meant to navigate different worlds. I learned to blend in — in my predominantly white neighborhood, and later as one of the few women in TV production's camera department. I became very good at reading rooms, adjusting, making myself fit. And those spiritual gifts I'd had since childhood — seeing energy, sensing spirits? I kept those completely hidden. I was terrified of what people would think.

So there I was. A practical, credentialed, well-respected professional . . . who also happened to be a deeply intuitive empath hiding her gifts behind a camera.

Sound familiar?

Then came the moment I couldn't ignore.

One day on set, the director pulled me aside and kindly offered to help me move up. And out of my mouth came the word "No!" — forcefully, almost involuntarily. Which is very unlike me. I'm a courteous person! But my body knew something my mind hadn't caught up to yet: I was done.

I still didn't do anything about it. Not right away. The fear was too big. The identity was too solid. I kept showing up.

Until the Universe got louder.

While I was in Spain dancing during the Running of the Bulls (yes, really), I badly tore my calf muscle. Two months of forced rest. Disability. Nowhere to be and nothing to do but sit with myself.

So I recommitted to my meditation practice. And I started asking one question, twice a day, every single day: Show me who I am.

Four months later — longer than I expected — a voice came through, clear as day:

You are a healer.

I laughed. I resisted. I had never even been to a healer. I didn't grow up "woo woo." But something in my body recognized it as true before my mind was willing to agree. And that tension — between what your intuition knows and what your logical mind is ready to accept — is something I now see in almost every client who sits with me.

So I took the smallest possible step.

I found a podcast featuring an energy healer who seemed . . . normal. A mom, just like me. It turned out she was launching a course. It cost $2,000, which felt outrageous, so I let it go and went back for another season of TV work.

But on hiatus, I got the nudge to just reach out. Just ask when it would open again. A few minutes later, she emailed me back — and gifted me the entire course for free.

From that point on, door after door after door opened. And I just kept stepping through. I didn't have a five-year plan. I didn't know where I'd end up. I just kept saying yes and following my intuition, one step at a time, even when I couldn't see the whole staircase.

I practiced on myself first. I found the beliefs that had kept me stuck — the ones that said stay small, blend in, don't be too much, don't want too much. I released them. And everything changed.

Now?

I run my own energy healing business. I work with clients all over the world — in groups, privately, and at international retreats. I make four times what I made in television. I set my own schedule. I travel. And I don't miss the important moments anymore.

But honestly? The freedom isn't even the best part.

The best part is watching my clients do it too. Women leaving careers that no longer fit. Doubling their income. Starting healing businesses. Landing art shows. Getting married. Finally choosing the life they actually want instead of the one that looks right on paper.

And as they step into their fullest, most authentic selves, everyone around them feels it. Their kids. Their partners. Their communities. That's the ripple effect.

That's how we change the world — one person brave enough to stop ignoring the pull.

Who I work with.

I work with heart-centered leaders, creators, entrepreneurs, artists, and changemakers who are already accomplished — already doing big things — but keep hitting an invisible ceiling.

They've usually done therapy. They've read the books. They've done the work. And yet something keeps looping. The same pattern. The same block. The same version of "stuck" wearing a new outfit.

That's because the thing in the way isn't a mindset problem. It's a belief — often inherited through family lines, past lives, or early experiences — living in the subconscious mind and energy field, silently running the show.

My gift is precision. I find the exact belief, trace it to its origin, and help you release it. When the belief clears, everything downstream shifts.

My life today . . .

Home base is Los Angeles. I live with my incredible husband, our two kids are out in the world living their own extraordinary lives, and we all travel as much as humanly possible.

And if there's one thread that runs through every chapter of my life — before healing, before television, before any of it — it's community service. I've always found joy in discovering a need and building something around it. I founded a nonprofit called The Giving Express that hosted pop-up giving events across LA — portrait days for unhoused families, hygiene drives, and more. I captained 100 kids' lemonade stands across LA County for Big Sunday, raising money for local charities. I created a puppet show teaching kids about diversity and kindness and was invited to the White House for it. I was a Girl Scout leader for a decade (third generation — it's in my blood). Serving my community has never been separate from who I am . . . it's the whole point. It always has been.

A few things you might not know about me:

I swam with wild manta rays in Hawaii — not on a tour, not planned. They were just . . . there. It's still one of the most magical things that's ever happened to me.
I traveled to Ukraine with Doctors Without Borders to film open heart surgeries — watching open heart surgeries is absolutely not my jam and yet . . . the wonder of it
My childhood dream was to work on Sesame Street
Urban beekeeper for years (and mentor to others) because I wanted to help bring back healthy feral bee populations in LA
My drawings went on tour in China when I was a kid (childhood artist era!)
On my bucket list: seeing the Northern Lights and visiting a wild penguin colony
