Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapist

My father is a photographer, and I started to help him as a photography assistant when I was in high school. In college, I majored in photography and later became a professional wedding photographer. I always capture each person’s essence with a sense of “go with the flow.” As I got older, my body could not handle long hours of shooting anymore, and I started having serious chronic pain in different parts of my body. Since then, I have been seeking treatments from different doctors and therapists. 

Thinking about the future, I realized I had to make photography as a side job, and find another full-time work. By chance, I switched to a new job that involved specialized mechanical knowledge, and I focused to resolve mechanical problems. This has cultivated my patience and practical skills, and most importantly, I have learned “the visible issue might not be the root cause of the real problem”. 

Then one day, my very good friend, the founder of Raffe Raffee, invited me to experience her Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy (BCST). The moment she placed her hands on my feet, I felt a strong stretching in my left hamstring muscles, a magical sensation that no other doctors could provide. After the treatment session, when my feet touched the ground, I felt an unprecedented sense of balance and relaxation in my whole body. A long-lost feeling of comfort! Then I become curious about what Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy (BCST) is, and thus begin a new chapter in my life.

Ultimately, I step into the role of being a Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapist, and I integrate my talents that I have built in the past into my therapy work. My talent of “go with the flow” is such a valuable quality in Biodynamic Craniosacral work, being biodynamic is the simple trust on the body that knows the best what it wants. Another talent of mine, “the visible issue might not be the root cause of the real problem”, this keeps myself in a neutral condition to just listen to the body and find out the root cause, despite all the visible symptoms shown.

In my life journey, each stage that I experienced before has paved the way for me to become a therapist. With my hands, I like to help more people in need, to alleviate their pain and regain their health. Through BCST, by allowing ourselves to listen to our bodies, we can make a transformational change.
