Rooted. Holistic. Spacious.
I made this for people who understand that we are here to heal, thrive and shape the next era together. For those who often find themselves in the role of helper, peacemaker or more often now, cycle breaker - in their work, social or family systems.
This is a resource hub for spiritually inclined individuals, who are committed to their own healing and familiar with the mind-body connection, and have been doing this long enough to not take themselves too seriously.
We offer a platform brimming with practical resources, expert guidance and a community of diverse and deep-minded peers.
But we aren't just throwing more information at you - I take my two decades of firsthand experience, distill and synthesize it to clear, relevant language and empower you to navigate your own way forward, to save you time, money and effort.
We are not absolute beginners - though we practice having a beginner's mind. We offer nuanced, specific and ever-evolving expertise that invites your engagement, inquiry and exploration.
Client Testimonial
By the end of the program, not only did I have clarity, direction and focus, I also had the skills required to continue creating the changes I envisioned. It was a life changing experience, because of Diane and all she had to offer and the supportive, gifted people in the circle. The pattern shifting and expansive experience is delivered in so many ways; from an increase in revenue and clients in the business, to balancing the relationship of the mind, body and spirit. The patterns I shifted in these six months were a result of the transformation that Diane’s mentoring circle ignited within.

Client Testimonial
I am healthier and stronger and I am grateful that I found a practitioner to literally make room to move forward if I choose to help myself. I feel like Diane works on the big stuff in a big way, that she enables real energetic shifts to occur that actually bring change in life and not temporary reprieve from symptoms.

Client Testimonial
You lit a fire in me so I could start lighting my own. You made me adore myself, dig deeper into myself, be kinder to myself —- all so that I could adore others, dig deeper into others, and be kinder to others. I would have settled into a life I thought I could get, instead of daring to think about the one I deserved.

My Backstory
I'm the daughter of immigrant parents - Chinese and Vietnamese, and grew up in the suburbs of Toronto, Canada.
I've been anchored and consistently supported by physical and non-physical guides and ancestors for as long as I can remember.
My body of work is rooted in an early transpersonal experience that confronted and shook me up - and well, I've been up ever since.
The experience guided me to cultivate and develop a relationship to my deep knowing and has imparted on me, both an ongoing humble amazement of life, as well as the capacity to guide others in fostering a deeper connection to themselves and a relationship to the sacred in their own personal ways.
In addition to a thriving clinical practice, I've facilitated and mentored groups, trained in and explored a wide assortment of healing modalities and remain engaged in my own personal healing path. My daily practice of yoga, meditation and personal inquiry has been consistent for over three decades.
Treat yourself well and don't hurt others. Treat others well and don't hurt yourself.
