I am a movement artist, Qi Gong teacher, somatic therapist, and contemplative movement facilitator. My creative practice explores the unfolding relational experience between self and others through contemplative movement. I work across performative, therapeutic, and research contexts, bringing together somatic movement, dance, and visual art.

I have practised Qi Gong for over 20 years, training with my teacher, Wu Chun-Lin, in Taiwan. This long-term practice sparked my deeper interest in contemplative movement and dance, and led me to explore the body as a site of perception, relationship, and creative possibility.

My curiosity about the body’s potential led me to study professionally at the Martha Graham School and later at Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music and Dance, where I received an M.A. in Creative Practice in Dance.

Somatic approaches—including Embodied Anatomy, Movement Repatterning and the Discipline of Authentic Movement—inform both my creative research and therapeutic work. Since 2025, I have been offered one-to-one sessions as a somatic therapist within the framework of Integrative Bodywork and Movement Therapy.

Before entering the field of dance, I worked as a visual artist, focusing on painting and ceramics. I hold a B.F.A. from The School of the Art Institute of Chicago and have taught art to children and young adults in the U.S., Taiwan, and Estonia.

As a performer and creator, I co-created and presented City Walk at the WestFest dance festival and Wanderings as part of the NewSteps Choreographers Series in New York. In London, I presented my M.A. thesis project, Gestures of Offering, a movement-based inquiry into relational presence, through a series of live performances.

My interdisciplinary practice continues to bring together somatic movement, dance, and visual art. I’ve collaborated with contemplative practitioners and researchers from Buddhist traditions to lead workshops exploring embodied awareness. In 2023, together with designer-researcher Kristi Kuusk, we co-created Moving Awareables, a set of multisensory artefacts designed to cultivate embodied care through somatic interaction.
