Our Team

TCM chose me as much as I chose it. I was instinctively drawn to the power of body, mind, and spirit to empower our healing. Studying Qigong with Grand Master Lu changed the trajectory of my life and introduced me to different healing modalities. I’ve had the distinct honor and privilege of learning from Grand Master Lu, embracing our unique student-master relationship and the shared knowledge of his ancient lineage. Today, I give back the richness and beauty of this medicine to my patients and community.

I was always drawn to helping people; healthcare was a natural path for me. With my degree in occupational therapy I began working in the Western Medical model. But I always felt that something was missing. Eventually, I found Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and acupuncture and earned a Doctorate in Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine. I was fortunate enough to learn of Grand Master Nan Lu and the Tao of Healing, and began to study the ancient energy practice, Wu Ming Qigong, and became a Certified Dragon’s Way Qigong® instructor. My practical training interning and now as a practitioner at Nan Lu Acupuncture showed me firsthand the power of TCM and acupuncture to fundamentally change people’s lives.

Sylvia joined the Tao of Healing in 2009. She has received extensive training in healing modalities of Traditional Chinese Medicine, specifically Qigong Meridian Therapy and Medical Qigong.  Currently, Sylvia is a practitioner of QMT and Pet Energy Therapy at the Tao of Healing center.

Sylvia is deeply passionate about working with each client and strives to share all her learnings through the treatment. In doing so, Sylvia hopes to make each connection a little more profound, and the world a better place for all.
