CURRENT MISSION

Acupuncturist, translator at Buddhist Tzu Chi foundation, thai yoga massage teacher and conscious circle organizer.

I'm an aspiring minimalist and zero-waster. Please don't bring me any gifts. Your presence is enough. Take me out eating or treats are fine.

ABOUT ME

Healer and volunteer seeking to change her world and herself for the better. I am mostly vegetarian, love cooking, reading, traveling, sharing stories, singing karaoke and hosting movie nights/book club discussions.

“If you have time to chatter,
Read books.

If you have time to read,
Walk into mountain, desert and ocean.

If you have time to walk,
Sing songs and dance.

If you have time to dance,
Sit quietly, you happy, lucky idiot.”
― Nanao Sakaki

PHILOSOPHY

Life's purpose is to find your gift and give it away.
