She is the one of the leaders in Taoist Qi Global Healing Program, and also works as a TCM practitioner in healing centers and educator in Taoist Qi Therapy Institution.

She started her journey as a disciple in an ancient school and began to conduct training with her master since 18, in hopes of healing her own health issues since childhood, through systematic study of traditional Chinese medicine, acupuncture, Chinese healthcare ways of Yang Sheng and other ancient healing practices such as Qigong, Taoist meditation, alchemy, and Qi diet.

Ten years later, she began to heal patients with various physical and mental issues such as chronic and acute disease, COVID and sub-health conditions, emotional trauma, depression or mental illness in clinic centers, and gradually took up leadership roles on the Global Healing Program. Since the COVID-19 era from 2019 to 2021, this program which she is one of the key leads, had successfully trained over 1000 Qi healers to help more than 375,000 people to prevent COVID-19 and heal post-COVID conditions in China. Since 2022,in order to heal people worldwide, her program spread to the globe, with the aim of benefiting millions of people in more than 30 countries and 100 regions worldwide, with a focus on places with epidemics, wars, or natural disasters, and trains 1,000 Qi healers worldwide
