She is also one of the few PNI (psychoneuroimmuno therapy) therapists in Hong Kong offering treatment for pain control and boosting the immune system to fight diseases such as cancer, auto-immune conditions and other critical and chronic illnesses.

She integrates Western psychological interventions with Eastern psychotherapeutic techniques such as meditation, mindfulness, yoga nidra and pranayam for a holistic solution. The cornerstone of her practice is based on EMDR  and PNI which harnesses the neuroplasticity of the brain to ‘re-wire’ and reprocess your thoughts for adaptive resolution.

EMDR stands for Eye Movement Desensitisation Reprocessing. This psychological therapy activates both hemispheres of the brain by directing eye movements akin to movements during REM sleep to reprocess disturbing memories, thoughts and information resulting in lasting emotional relief and resolution.

Psychoneuroimmunology (PNI) is the use of psychological therapy to influence your immune system and also control pain.

That knowledge culminated into her current protocol for psychoneuroimmuno therapy and cancer pre-hab programs.
