Week 1: | By completing a 7 day food, mood, poo, and sleep diary, we can get a better understanding of your body and take note of any patterns.This 7 day activity is also beneficial in setting some goals and understanding what are some of the challenges you are facing. |
Week 2: | Once we agree on your health objectives, I will provide how you can incorporate some of the TCM-inspired diet and lifestyle recommendations based on your personal needs. |
Week 3: | Learning about Yin vs Yang foods and Hot vs Cold Foods in TCM will be a critical factor in discovering how to consciously apply food therapy going forward. These terms are very critical in understanding because they will greatly influence your choices when you know how to self-diagnose your body. |
Week 4: | How to balance with the seasons? We will learn about how does TCM categorize the body just as Nature categorizes the changes of the seasons. By understanding what we find in nature, we can find a way for us to be reminded of why it is important to balance in our modern ways of life. |
Week 5: | We practice self-diagnosis and focus on how does TCM use techniques like tongue reading and quality of sleep, mood, or stool to identify what the body needs. |
My earliest memories of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) began in the living room of my childhood home, where my dad, Dr. Sun, held his first Acupuncture space. At a young age, I saw the myriad of herbs he would pull together for his patients. Our basement was an apothecary, our kitchen filled with my pieces from my Operator set, and the living room served patients. After immigrating to New York City from Shanghai in the 1970s, my parents, like many other immigrants of New York, left everything they ever knew, to build a brand new life from scratch.
As a first generation American-born-Chinese kid growing up in NYC, it was hard to understand why my parents didn't pack me Capri-suns and Fig Newtons in my lunchbox. Instead of letting me wear short-shorts and slurp Ralph's Italian ices all Summer long, I was taught to always drinking warm water no matter what, make sure my feet were never freezing cold, and to listen to my body and treat it well.
While having practiced Chinese Medicine for a lifetime with my dad, it wasn't until a few years ago that I truly started to feel like I wanted to step into this world and be a champion of this beautiful, complex, and deeply connected world of ancient healing and wisdom. My friends and family were all beginning to seek holistic and alternative forms of health, and they would come to me and I would send them to my dad.
My turning point came when I saw the wellness industry seem to explode with all sorts of Qi Balancing, Yin Boosting, He Shou Wu touting products for this-that-and the other. Appalled by the lack of direction consumers face today in navigating "what wellness products should I take and why", I felt the need to step up and bring clear and medically supported guidance in navigating the natural way to being well.
I am making a step towards building a lineage of Traditional Healers and continuing the legacy that my dad, Dr. Sun, has created. This is inspired by a life long learning of my own culture and heritage that came thousands of years before me. And together we will learn, appreciate, and share the wisdom of Traditional Chinese Medicine.
Welcome to a world of inspiration: here to teach you how to listen to your body, feed it what it needs, and give you the tools to understand how to rebalance the yin to your yang with everyday foods.
Modern Chinese Wellness, from my family to yours.
with light,
