Sujok Therapy: My Healing Journey

Roots that shaped who I am.

I was born in Vietnam and moved to Switzerland with my family at the age of seven.

Growing up between cultures taught me adaptability, resilience, and a deep appreciation for human connection. This journey has also led me to explore concepts like body intelligence and natural healing, particularly through practices such as reflexology.

As the eldest of five children, I learned responsibility early. Throughout my life, I built businesses, embraced creativity, and followed an entrepreneurial path driven by curiosity and service.

Today, living in Portugal, I have chosen a life centred on balance, wellbeing, and meaningful relationships.

These values continue to guide both my life and the way I support.

From Survival to Healing

In 2021, after a severe COVID infection, I spent two months in the hospital and 35 days in a medically induced coma.

This experience transformed my relationship with health, resilience, and natural healing. I learned to embrace the concept of body intelligence, understanding how crucial it is to listen to both my body and mind.

As a single mother, I rebuilt my strength step by step, even exploring practices like reflexology that helped me reconnect with my body and promote healing.

Learning to Work With My Body Not Against It

My recovery taught me that true wellbeing is not about pushing harder. It is about understanding body intelligence, achieving balance, and supporting the body’s natural healing capacity. This philosophy now guides both my personal life and my work.

Healing while being a mother requires support and understanding of body intelligence. My mindset was strong, and my will was unwavering. However, my body needed something entirely different — time, gentleness, and deep listening to its signals. I spent over a month in a wheelchair, relying on natural healing to guide my recovery. Then came physiotherapy, with two to three sessions a week, where I learned step by step how to walk again. Standing for just a few minutes was a triumph at first. Slowly, walking for half an hour felt like a miracle. The thought of running was unthinkable; everything had to be rebuilt — carefully, patiently, and with complete humility. I also explored reflexology during this journey, which further deepened my connection to my body. This experience transformed my relationship with my body forever.

Discovering Sujok: A Turning Point

During my recovery, I discovered Sujok therapy in Paris. My journey into natural healing had actually begun much earlier with reflexology, which I studied and certified in Switzerland in 2004. Yet Sujok brought something different. Its precision, simplicity, and holistic approach deeply resonated with me at a time when I was rebuilding both my health and my confidence, tapping into my body's intelligence. What began as a personal discovery soon became a passion and a mission. Today, I use Sujok to help people reduce stress, relieve physical tension, restore balance, and reconnect with their own capacity for wellbeing.

My Mission Today

Today, my daughter is 16 years old.

She remains my greatest reminder of why wellbeing matters and why I show up each day with purpose.

After rebuilding my health following a life-changing illness, I discovered that true healing is not about pushing harder.

It is about listening, balance, resilience, and supporting the body’s natural capacity to recover, embracing the concept of body intelligence.

Today, through Sujok, reflexology, wellbeing education, and personal guidance, I help people reduce stress, restore balance, relieve physical tension, and reconnect with their own inner resources, fostering natural healing.

My mission is simple:

To help people reduce stress, restore balance, relieve physical tension, and reconnect with their body's natural capacity for wellbeing.
