I had a spinal injure from a fall & sliding down the stairs in my early teens. From this injure, I developed severe backaches, and required medications. In early 2018, I was introduced to Craniosacral therapy by a medical doctor in Austria. A few months afterward, my chronic backaches were under control. Same year, I started my training in Craniosacral therapy. In 2020, I became a Licensed Massage Therapist through which I gained the license to touch as a Craniosacral therapist.  I was certified as a CST-T (Craniosacral Therapy Technique level) late 2020, and became a CST-D (Craniosacral Therapy Diplomate level) in 2023.   I am always continuing to further my Craniosacral therapy techniques through advanced trainings & practices.

In 2010 summer, my nephew who has Autism came from Taiwan to live with me for 1 year. During that period, I learned the importance of nutrition. After my nephew left, I decided to pursue an advanced nutrition degree with the goal of helping more autistic children by raising the awareness & the importance of nutrition. My nephew’s nutritionist recommended University of Bridgeport.  I am Software Engineer.  Since my first Master's degree is in Computer Science, I started again with the undergraduate course works.  Starting from Biology 101 & Chemistry 101, all the way to Biochemistry, Anatomy, Physiology & Nutrition, I prepared myself for the enrollment of the Master's degree in Human Nutrition at Bridgeport. The class work at University Bridgeport was above & behind my expectation; they were very educational, challenging, useful and confidence building.  With my MS in Human Nutrition, I was qualified to take the vigorous CNS written examine and upon completing 1000 hours of internship & clinical works, I was awarded with the Certified Nutrition Specialist Certification.  Through continue educations & readings of the latest publications, I stay in touch with the current development in nutrition science.
