Scholastic Achievement
When she was young, she went to school so they could teach her how to
learn. She soon realized that her learning was a direct experience of
actively doing. She found the key to learning as the ability to be open
and receptive in the present moment. Her education never ceases and she
uses everything that she's ever learned from the hard sciences to the
esoteric teachings. She is still seeking . . .
Her mental thirst for knowledge led her to formal educational institutions.

Energetic Transmissions
Heavily engrossed in her books, she realized that learning does not take
place in school, or in a foreign city, rather it is in the presence Great
Teachers. Thi is grateful for the lineage of teachers and teachings that
magically appeared for without them she would not be here today.

A Call to Action
Thi was 27 years old, freshly graduated from graduate school, living in
sunny Santa Monica, in a loving long-term relationship, and happily
employed. But, something was very wrong with this picture. She could not
pinpoint it but knew she was not living up to her full potential. She felt
like she was half-alive even though her social calendar said otherwise.
She felt empty, direction less, and disconnected from Source. She
started questioning everything: her choices in life, family, friends,
relationship, and career. She sought a greater purpose than the life she
led and traveled 10 countries looking for answers in the ancient healing
vortices. Traveling allowed her the opportunity to connect to her human
family and offered time for self reflection. There must be more to life
than this? What does it take for one to walk their spiritual path? Two car
accidents in less than 3 months jolted her forward and left her body in
excruciating pain. She looked for a spiritual bridge to bring her back
and she found it when Tibetan monks came to Topanga Canyon to perform a
healing ceremony called a Cho. She crossed her bridge and began her
journey toward her spiritual home.
A Multidisciplinary Approach
Thi explored yoga (Hatha, Iyengar, Anusara, Flow, and Kundalini),
meditation, breath (pranayama), acupuncture, qi-gong, gonging, nutrition,
body work, and energy balancing to heal herself. She resisted the fate of
Chronic Pain by refusing painkillers as her road to recovery. She
journeyed inward to observe the patterns that subconsciously perpetuated
pain and consciously chose not to continue them. She was adamant about
choosing Dharma “righteous living” instead of getting caught up in the
ebbs and flow of Karma. Stillness, shuniya, zero. In that silent, sacred
space, all is revealed from the heart. Slowing the pace of her life and
just “being” in the moment helped her realize the sources of her chaos,
her own mind and deep seated patterns of emotions held in her
subconscious. Healing is an inward journey she invites you all to take
with her. Let her be your Portal to Self-Transformation.
