“You get ‘there’ by realizing you’re already there. You find God by realizing you don’t need to seek God.”
about eva
In a world made up of both the seen and unseen, one of my soul gifts is being able to make the spiritual feel down to earth and the practical feel very, very magical. I share a deep love and appreciation for both the tangible and the esoteric. I do not see these concepts as separate and I am not bound by either. Each piece of being complements the other in a way that makes this life truly extraordinary. When you understand and experience the profound in the”mundane,” and simplicity in spiritual awakening, you begin to move through life in a very efficient and meaningful way.
I am passionate about helping others on this path, the path of finding Self love through spirituality, of operating on higher states of consciousness (which is just a fancy way of saying being a happier, more loving, peaceful and sovereign human Being). I help people free themselves of suffering, because you came here to ENJOY THIS LIFE, which is your ONLY job, and it’s really that simple. But this can only be “accomplished” through your mind/consciousness/soul. I relish helping others KNOW how to do this, and develop their OWN clear seeing, so they can experience the levity, wonder, and awe of being a human on this planet, in this lifetime.
I believe I was born to do this work, but it took many life initiations and iterations of growth to recognize this. I’ve had many traumas to heal from, and stories and identities to dis-identify from.
Some identities include: the daughter of Taiwanese immigrants, as a rich person, as a poor person, as a girl of a broken home and alcoholic mother, as a wanna-be anarchist, as a reckless degenerate, as an over-anxious, Brooklyn intellectual, as a “hustler,” an entrepreneur, a life coach, a meditator, a jungle lover, a desert wanderer. In each stage, I’ve suffered and learned how to alchemize suffering into grace, which always and only ever took place in the mind. In each stage, I’ve been in devotion to liberation and PLAY. And in each stage, I more deeply understood and felt God in myself, and I learned to love her deeply. I assure you, it is not any of my trainings and certifications that make me qualified to help you, but rather my commitment to mySelf, who I Be and liberation itself that allows me to serve you in a powerful and true way.
I am humbled that you have found your way here. I welcome all who sense that we have a divine appointment. You are here to do the work, but I also recommend you let this work work on you. As my teacher once told me, no one can do this work for you, and you can’t do it alone. If you’d like to enter into a sacred partnership, begin your application here.
“Courage is not being afraid of yourself.”

OTHER FACTS ABOUT ME
She/her

Human Design Type: Projector
I consider myself a bit of a nomad and have spent the majority of my life on a grand adventure. I’ve lived in Los Angeles, CA (where I was born and raised) > Philadelphia > Tokyo > New York City > Taipei, Taiwan > Phoenix, AZ > Portland, OR and Austin, TX. Currently I live in a little surf shack in the jungle of Brazil and I split my time between Brazil and Taiwan.
New York will always be my favorite city, and the desert and the jungle are my favorite ecosystems
Coolest job I’ve ever had (after this one): Working as a video clerk at TLA video, an independent video store, back when people still rented DVDs. I watched A LOT of movies back then
Unfulfilled dream: bass player/vocalist for an all-girl rock band, professional hip-hop dancer
what people are saying
Working with Eva has changed my life. I feel so much more empowered and less anxious than I used to. Before, I felt unsure of my life choices and was having a tough time at work. I had some major issues with self-love, perfectionism, and there was a lack of confidence. From a romantic perspective, I was stuck in a pattern of hanging out with the wrong people, [and felt like] I wasn’t worthy of anyone’s love. All of this led to overthinking and deepened my anxiety.
Now I feel empowered and validated on my own terms – [I feel] OK with myself just as I am. I’ve learned to release some of that internal pressure which has allowed me to live a less anxious life. Being able to relinquish control over certain situations makes me feel lighter.
It feels good to love myself. I’m not being so rigid and it’s allowing me to LIVE IN THE NOW. I don’t think this would have been possible before working with Eva because I was so obsessed with planning [out the future that I] couldn’t enjoy the present moment.
Eva has awakened parts of me that I never knew existed, and defined parts of me that were always there. She taught me things about myself that I will remember for the rest of my life.
