about
There was a time when I worked in banking and consulting, pursuing what many consider an 'abundant life'. However, I often felt a deep sense of something missing—no matter what I accomplished, something inside me wasn’t fulfilled.
One day, after attending a Tea Ceremony, I walked down a busy street and unexpectedly experienced a profound sense of tranquility. In that moment, I realized that life, in its simplicity, held everything I needed.
This moment of clarity led me to study Cha Dao (The Way of Tea), under the guidance of my teacher, Wu De. I also had the privilege of learning from several other teachers who helped me understand the rich cultural aspects and health benefits of Tea. Tea became my daily practice, nurturing presence, love, and compassion. It also opened a new path of service to others, a journey I now wholeheartedly embrace. I believe each Tea Ceremony is a form of therapy, both for myself and my guests.
Along the way, my connection to Tea naturally led me to explore ceramics, where I began making my own teawares. This creative practice became an extension of my Tea rituals, allowing me to deepen my mindfulness and connection to the art of Tea.
Tea also led me to Reiki healing and forest bathing, practices that further deepened my connection to nature and my own inner peace.
Now based in London, with occasional trips to Hong Kong, I offer Tea Ceremonies, mentorship programs, and a space to help you discover all you need for your Tea practice.
