Hi, I’m Grace.
I believe that real change begins from within.
As a student of yoga for more than 15 years, it was hitting a painful brick wall in my personal life and career that opened my eyes to the immense power of meditation, or knowing our inner nature. Frustrated and burned out after hopping across sectors—academia, corporate America, startups, non-profit—in pursuit of impact, I took a sabbatical, asking the universe to clue me in on my next move.
During a retreat in the awe-inspiring Spanish Pyrenees, a light bulb illuminated: I had been searching for an enlightened sense of purpose while relying on conventional tools and norms. An inner voice told me to go back to my roots—as an anthropologist, dedicated yoga practitioner, second-generation Chinese immigrant (and destined Taoist)—and begin the true journey there.
Diving into Eastern philosophy and mind-body practice—with their holistic and experiential approaches to wisdom, meaning and happiness—and further unlocking their potential within the frame of nature have transformed my worldview and relationships with self and others. They have empowered me to craft and pursue an evolving vision of an inspired and impactful life and a humbling portfolio of work.
My mission is to guide current and future change-makers into their natural purpose and a radiant way of being—and contributing—in this world. I offer real tools, methodologies and insights to unearth inner wisdom and translate it into practice.
