ABOUT ME
I am a Chinese Canadian living in Toronto, Canada, who follows a unique, eclectic spirituality. First and foremost, I am pagan. I have found that being pagan has given me freedom to explore many different spiritualities (or maybe that's just my personality... hm...) At the very least, the path that I follow has led me to explore different mythologies, from classic Greco-Roman to Mesoamerican (Mayan, Incan, Aztec). I've always held it to be important to learn and explore different spiritual paths. My studies, though generally on pagan/Wiccan paths, include Native traditions, Buddhism, Taoism, Celtic mythology and spirituality, Mesoamerican mythology and basically any other mythologies out there.
I have a great interest in healing and wellness. I believe that healing takes place on the spiritual level first and that much suffering and pain can be avoided by taking good care of oneself. Taking care of oneself includes spiritually, mentally, emotionally, and physically. I hold a black belt in taekwondo and I highly recommend martial arts to people because it works on all these levels. During the summer of 2002, I suffered a knee injury, putting my martial arts on hold. I underwent knee surgery and rehabilitation. It was going through this that sparked my interest in healing and subsequently, I sought not just reiki treatment, but to be attuned to reiki. I was attuned to reiki level one by Nancy Peel nearly a year ago. Healing however is not just an individual need, healing is also needed on a larger scale. The world itself needs to be healed - there is just too much suffering. This is the basic idea behind this website and my work.
I have always had an interest in occult and spiritual matters. It started with my studies in astrology, tarot, and numerology over 15 years ago. This later led to studying Wicca as an alternative spiritual path. Combined with my interest in healing, studying reiki was an ideal choice. I am also studying aromatherapy, colour healing, crystal healing, as well as herbal medicine. On a physical level, I am studying basic anatomy and familiarizing myself with the medical field.
My formal educational background consists of a Bachelor's of Business Administration from Schulich School of Business (York University) and a Certificate of Legal Administration from Seneca College. I have worked in the fields of marketing, office administration, and as a law clerk in intellectual property law. In the past year or so, I made a life changing decision and so far, things seem to be working out. I pulled out of trying to conform to a standard career and decided that I need to work for myself and that I should be on a different career path.
Currently, I am providing services primarily in reiki (which can include aromatherapy and colour healing) and spiritual consultation (through tarot, runes, astrology, and numerology). Eventually, I hope to expand and offer more services and knowledge. This will be related to personal fitness, wellness, health, and healing.
