Hello! I am Rachel and I look forward to walking with you.My StoryHaving grown up in China and Hong Kong, highly critical, striving and perfectionistic voices have been my old friends. There’s a Mandarin phrase loosely translated to “butt on fire”, that accurately describes this energy of restlessness and constantly rushing somewhere.I found myself on a quest for a more gentle way of being, relating to myself, and loving others.I encountered Forest Bathing, Mindful Self Compassion, and Blues dancing. They slowly but surely cultivated a sense of tenderness and safety within. I am coming home to myself.I am noticing a lack of tenderness in women our generation. A lot of women around me, who, like me, grew up in asian households experience a heightened stress, and over-critical inner voices.So here I am, sharing these practices with you. :)My Work- Certified Forest Bathing Guide (anft.earth), guiding walks that helps remember the relationship we always had with nature, a part of our human nature, through tuning back into our senses: sight, touch, sound, smell, taste.- Trained in Mindful Self Compassion (centerformsc.org), teaching 8-week programs that help gentle-hearted individuals build internal resources, an inner tenderness and safety: the same source of safety we feel when we feel close to our mothers.- Facilitated self-connection for 400+ participants through Blues dance for the past 6 years, with a focus on empowering women to come home to their bodies and movement.- 9 years in the tech industry, most recently in Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Programs.Connect With MeInstagramLinkedin
