I came from Vietnam and a passionate heart-soul counsellor. Over the last 3 decades, I have been exploring both Western and Eastern understanding of human anatomy & physiology, embryology, myth and nature, developmental and interpersonal psychology, development foundations of movement and its relationship to a person psychophysical process, their personal growth and well-being.
I am very interested in the development process of a person not only physical aspects but also in the psychological & culture development growth. I am curious in energy flow, electro-magnetic field, dissection, perception, deep psychology & mythology, and consciousness practices and this path took me to study and practise other ancient practices related to deepening direct experiences and perceptions that contribute to the well-being of the wholeness of a person. I include ancient & up-to-date somatic movement & embodiment practices, dance and relevant techniques with particular skills in trauma, anxiety & depression relief, chronic stress & pain, restlessness, heart-wounding, sensation, body movements, breath and sleep for people with all ages (from children to older people). In our practice, we will start from the point where you are in your situation. Lessons can be tailored to the needs of a group or an individual.
