My Journey to Practitioner

In January 2017, I developed an autoimmune in my kidneys in response to a throat infection. I had a 1 year old child at the time and western medicine didn’t know how to help treat me.

Having had acupuncture since I was 19 years old, I went to my practitioner for help. Zhu was trained in both Eastern and Western Medicine as a GP and TCM practitioner and using a combination of both, we started on a journey that would become known as my healing crisis. 

A healing crisis pushes you in ways you’d never imagine. I was cracked open, vulnerable and feeling helpless. I learned the mind body connection and directly felt and saw what emotions did to my body. I learned that all ailments and dis-ease has an underlying emotion. The kidney system relates to fear and anxiety. With every emotion and trauma, there are so many layers and it takes stepping in trust, faith and love to remove fear and anxiety as something that controls you. 

I started to search for more answers around how to release trauma and emotion. I learnt how we create neural pathways through pain and conditioning. Our learned behaviours and experiences can directly affect how our nervous system responds and inversely, we can re-condition our nervous system to not feel this pain and respond in a fight or flight way. I moved through many panic attacks to witness how my body shut down. My emotions responsible for heart attack like symptoms. I learnt tools that helped me release the fear, anxiety, trauma and stuck patterns from my body.

I then set out to train in a way that I could offer this to others experiencing a healing crisis, feeling stuck and triggered and those wanting to learn and grow.

I come to offer these practices with the intention of helping others learn the same. I help you shift whilst understanding the connection between your mind and body. We help you build a toolkit to empower yourself to connect with your higher self and inner essence.

I look forward to working with you and guiding you in this process.
