My Story
Hello, I’m Lin Chen, the heart behind Lumina Wellbeing. My journey began in Shanghai, China, a city of modern design and fast-paced life. Even at a young age, I felt a sense of disconnection amidst the concrete and glass. I longed for the lushness of nature, for a life woven with the rhythms of the earth. This longing eventually led me to Canada, where I found a deeper connection to the natural world.
With a foundation in Biology, I initially worked in Cancer Research, driven by a desire to support healing. But over time, I realized that the fragmented approach of Western medicine didn’t fully align with my deeper understanding of wellness. I felt a call to explore the inner dimensions of healing, where body, mind, and spirit converge, and where our connection to nature plays a vital role.
This search led me to study yoga, Tai Chi, and Chinese medicine, where I found ancient wisdom that spoke to the wholeness of life. These practices revealed to me that true healing begins with cultivating inner awareness, aligning with nature’s cycles, and recognizing that we are but a small part of Mother Earth. Her wellbeing is our wellbeing.
At Lumina Wellbeing, I offer wellbeing consultations to help individuals kick-start their personal healing journeys. Whether through mindful movement, meditative practices, or nature-immersive experiences, I aim to guide you back to your authentic self — where healing naturally unfolds.
Beyond individual work, I hold a vision for a grassroots movement within my community. I dream of creating a network of backyard habitats, engaging in local conservation efforts, and inspiring others to reconnect with the land. Through simple yet powerful actions, like planting native species, supporting pollinators, and restoring natural ecosystems, I believe we can cultivate sanctuaries of healing for both people and the planet.
Thank you for being here. I invite you to explore, connect, and join me on this journey of awakening — for ourselves, for each other, and for the earth.
With love and light,
Lin
