About

Shen-Shen, founder of Sun & Moon Wellness, sitting in Ollantaytambo, Peru.

I was born in Taipei and grew up in British Columbia, New Jersey, and California. As an immigrant and child of immigrants, navigating different cultures has always been part of my journey. My own healing path has included working through depression, anxiety, and intergenerational trauma in my East Asian family system. These experiences shape the way I hold space: with compassion, curiosity, and culturally-informed care.

I’ve been guided by Wixárika, Cofán, and Shipibo teachers, trained in psychedelic-assisted therapy, and worked for nearly a decade as a software engineer. I also hold a certification in permaculture design and a business degree. This interdisciplinary work all informs my practice today.

My Approach

I honor indigenous worldviews where medicine is anything that restores balance—whether it’s sound, conversation, or connection to community and Earth.

This perspective resonates with transpersonal psychology, which sees healing as growth beyond the individual self. It’s less about “fixing” and more about remembering our place in the web of life.

True transformation often happens in the meeting of opposites: light and shadow, joy and grief, body and spirit. When we allow these tensions to be held with presence instead of rushing to resolve them, healing emerges.
