Hi, I’m Raychi.
I found myself the hard way so you don’t have to.

I am a first-generation Chinese American immigrant who has been through multiple layers of cultural and spiritual transformations. I understand the shame, stigma, and hopelessness of finding the right support in a dominant white, Euro-Christian-centric, and materialism-based culture. 

In my early adult years, despite living a “good life” with a “lucrative” career and a “successful” partner, I struggled with waves of mental and physical health challenges. After spending thousands of hours and dollars in the medical system, I was able to be “high-functioning”, but from time to time I couldn’t help but feel my life was pointless to go on.

My crying for healing eventually led me to an abrupt (and very destabilizing) spiritual awakening.

Over the years, I trained with shamans, spiritual healers, and trauma-focused psychotherapists, and learned to follow my body and inner vision to heal past trauma and relearn who I am as a person.

As my inner world shifted, changes in the outside world followed. ⁣I left my corporate career and dedicated myself to fostering inner work among others. In that healing space, I am honored to witness people’s inner light shine.

I saw when people are deeply connected to themselves, they finally remember who they are: they gain the courage to leave dysfunctional relationships, to finally pursue what their heart desires, or to be able to gain insights within themselves to heal physical or mental illness. I am in awe and am hooked on witnessing that inner light shine, expand, and move mountains. Some may call that light Soul, some may call it High Self, Spirit, life force energy, or Holy Spirit…whatever name you feel resonates, I am here to strengthen the connection you have with it and help you to let it shine.

I feel deeply fortunate to hold space for others ready to dive in and do what it takes to become who they know themselves to be. It is an honor to witness the spiritual unfolding of those who are ready. Thank you for allowing me to be of service.

With Love,

Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing,
There is a field. I'll meet you there.
