About Me

Hello and welcome!
If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed balancing high ambitions with family life, or carried the silent weight of self-doubt behind a polished exterior, please know I truly understand what you are going through.
My path has been far from a straight line.
Born and raised in Hong Kong during the British Colonial era of the 1970s and 80s, I grew up surrounded by vibrant Chinese, British, and Indian communities—often wrestling with my own sense of self-identity. In my teenage years, my world expanded across continents: from living under a strict daily regimen with my traditional Chinese immigrant grandparents in Vancouver, Canada, to attending a Swiss finishing school in the quiet town of Glion, Switzerland. Learning alongside peers from European, Latin American, and Middle Eastern cultures taught me early on to deeply honor the nuances of diverse backgrounds and traditions.
In the corporate world, I spent a decade rising through the ranks—starting as a Customer Service Representative, moving into Marketing to launch a world-first innovative technology, and eventually serving as Executive Personal Assistant to the Chairman of a Hong Kong-listed conglomerate, where I organized high-stakes international operations across China, India, and the UK.
When I was diagnosed with depression in my late 20s, I stepped back from the corporate arena. Yet, as I navigated postpartum struggles and years of wrestling with self-image and self-worth—sitting across from one therapist after another—I realized that true healing required deep, intentional self-development.
At age 40, I stepped into entrepreneurship without a safety net. Building completely from scratch, I organically grew a global enterprise into an 8-figure USD business, leading a network of over 60,000 customers and leaders worldwide.
Emerging on the other side stronger, clearer, and fully restored taught me a truth no textbook could ever convey: Without cellular vitality, nervous system balance, and deep self-worth, even the greatest outward success feels hollow.
Driven to support my family and those I mentor, I dedicated my life to mastering human vitality. I earned dual PhDs in Holistic Medicine and Integrative Health Management, became board-certified in Naturopathy, and studied directly under my primary mentor, D. Gary Young. Recognizing that true sovereignty begins at home, I also trained in Waldorf Early Childhood Education and Conscious & Positive Parenting, bringing gentle developmental rhythm and emotional harmony to family systems. What began as sharing simple natural remedies grew into international bestselling books on NingXia Red, anti-aging, and non-toxic living—translated into Traditional and Simplified Chinese, Korean, and Dutch.
Today, I am here for you. You don't have to do this alone.
Utilizing my 8 Pillars of Wellness, I help you assess, reflect, and rebuild every area of your life—one gentle step at a time, at a pace that honors your unique journey. Whether you are an entrepreneur scaling your vision, a C-suite leader navigating burnout, or a mother seeking harmony, I am here to share the somatic tools, mindset shifts, and practical strategies needed to clear outdated blocks, restore your physical vessel, and activate your infinite potential.
With so much Love,
Joanne
Focus Areas and Expertise
Bridging Science, Nature & Real Life
Long before I held doctoral degrees or spoke to global audiences, I was simply someone looking for better, gentler ways to nurture health and handle the demands of everyday life.
My work brings together years of rigorous academic study in naturopathy and functional wellness with the deep practical wisdom I gained studying globally with D. Gary Young. I believe in keeping natural health simple, non-invasive, and straightforward.
Through my books, YouTube channel, and 1-on-1 advisory, my goal is not to give you rigid rules, but to offer gentle, proven tools for cellular vitality, emotional balance, and family wellness. I am honored to walk alongside leaders, mothers, and seekers around the world as they reclaim their natural state of well-being.
