  MY BIO  

Most of my life, I felt as if I were possessed by some “ghosts” that caused me to want to eat all the time. So I tried everything I knew to get rid of them so that I could stop eating. That’s how I became “an exorcist” working against myself, without even realizing it!! All those years though, while I felt haunted and possessed by these ghosts’ curses and spells, I never once asked them who they were or why they tormented me. I only knew I had to stop eating compulsively so that I could be thin like the people around me—especially those who had shamed, bullied, and ostracized me due to my substantial body size and weight. For a very long time, those two things were the things I yearned for above all else. But no matter how hard I tried, the ghosts only became more aggressive and possessed me more brutally!

You see. For as long as I can remember, I struggled with compulsive overeating and deep body shame, and got chronically ill with several health conditions rooted in insulin resistance and autoimmune disease. And to escape all of that, every effort I made focused solely on losing weight—through strict control of eating, relentless dieting, and excessive exercise—only to repeatedly spiral into uncontrollable binge eating and back to the same exhausting “merry-go-round” again and again. For over four decades, my attempts were clearly aimed at controlling externals, with no awareness that the majority of what drove everything was coming from within me—unresolved emotional turmoil and childhood traumas I hadn’t yet acknowledged—underneath all the external pressure from society. Fortunately, I finally discovered this truth and began healing from the inside out. As a result, instead of continuing being an exorcist, I’ve transformed into The Hungry Ghost Whisperer™ for myself! Slowly, instead of keeping trying to get rid of those “ghosts”, I learned to “bring them to life” and be with them—having relationships with them, listening to them, and especially, appreciating them and loving them after discovering what they tried to do for me underneath all the “torments”. Eventually, that resulted in them letting go of their “curses” and “spells”!

What has helped me most with that transformation are the Mind Body Eating method, the Internal Family Systems (IFS) healing modality, Parts work, and dedicated self-reparenting work. One of the most important things that these works have helped me with is that, I’ve come to see my compulsive overeating and body shame not as a problem to fix but as a doorway to my whole being—a path that led me to find my Soul and its innate healing power that’s always been there and connected to a power greater than myself.

Now I’m free from those vicious cycles. My relationships with food and my body are more harmonious than they have ever been, and I gratefully nurture my being deeply—from my Soul down to the cellular level. Also, although healing from my insulin resistance and autoimmune disease requires ongoing care and maintenance which I’m committed to, I now blessedly have no health conditions to be concerned about.

Therefore, since this healing has been such a powerful blessing to me, I felt called to share its power with you by being of service to you. This is why I created The Hungry Ghost Whisperer™ ~ Lifting All the Curses off Your Haunting Hungers Back to Holy Vigors—at the Soul-to-Cellular Level™!

If you resonate with my earlier experiences with compulsive eating, body shame, and related health conditions, I’m here to support you in finding the same kind of healing and transformation I found for myself.

WHISPERING

THE SACRED SATIETY

Spiritually and Cellularly in Ketosis™

For some of us, after eating the way{s} we’ve been eating for a while, our body speaks to us loudly through certain physical symptoms that say, “I cannot carry the burdens any longer.” As someone who’d received that message too many times and ignored it repeatedly, I finally discovered I had insulin resistance—the metabolic state that often precedes other, more serious and possibly life-threatening illnesses. Fortunately, with the help of the Mind Body Eating method, the Internal Family Systems (IFS) healing modality, Parts work, and dedicated self-reparenting, along with holistic culinary training, keto coach training, and best of all, The Hungry Ghost Whisperer™—The Whispering 101 that I was able to apply to myself in time—I’ve been healing deeply through the “ketosis” state, both on the spiritual level and at the cellular level.

If you’re living with a health condition that may have arisen from insulin resistance and you are ready for a long-lasting relief through a “Soul-led Keto” way of eating, please contact me below to schedule a free introductory session to learn more about how I can support you. {*prerequisite of Whispering 101 is required.}

 my living “credentials”:

🕊 History: Countless ways of dieting, starving, extreme exercising, and probably lost and gained on and off close to a thousand pounds of weight altogether over time.

🕊 History: Years of a 12-step food program that never helped, but kept trying, and beating myself up along the way—believing that if it worked for others, I must have not done enough and must try harder.

🕊Current & Ongoing: Self-applied Internal Family Systems and Reparenting healing modalities, and they magically work well together like nothing else can {in all levels—physically, emotionally and spiritually}.

🕊 Fun facts about me, personally:

I am of Thai descent, and Thailand had been my home for thirty years. But, as fate would have it, I have America to call home for quite some time now. In this home, I live with my husband, who's half-Irish and half-English and grew up in England. We’ve been together since 2001, but we have no kids, so our spiritual work focuses on reparenting our own inner kids. {And we both believe that if it were not for the inner work we’ve dedicated ourselves to, we’d never have lasted as a couple!} For fun, we make road trips together, and our favorite places are on the west coast.

🕊 Fun facts about me, professionally:

I had a BFA in Interior Design and an MFA in Interior Architecture, and worked as an interior designer, designing mostly restaurants for a couple of decades. {Go figure!} And after I graduated as a Certified Holistic Chef, for 12 years, I ran my own personal chef and catering company cooking for clients who tried to heal from various health conditions through holistic eating. That was quite a physically demanding career for me, but thanks to my clients, I was made to commit to “walk my talks”, and slowly healed my own conditions. Therefore, I’ll be forever grateful for them.

🕊 Fun facts about my dreams and passions:

Beside food and designs, I love photography, so I took a few classes and became a food photographer. I am also a self-taught food stylist, and I’ve done some food photography for a few of my restaurant design clients and other food entrepreneurs. I myself have a dream to write my own cookbook{s} which I really hope will happen some day — so that I can take my own food photos! And as you can see on this website, I took some self-portraits too. That was so much fun and certainly healing for me! Oh, I also have a web design side business, and I designed this website myself.

🕊 Extraterrestrial Fun Fact 🕊

When it comes to my human incarnation, this poem speaks to my heart:

✼ Instructions before visiting Earth ✼

In the event that you wake up and find your soul separated from source and manifest into material form, don’t panic. Your condition is only temporary. You have been selected for the opportunity of human incarnation. This 3D simulation is designed to break up the monotony of eternity by giving you a fully immersive experience as a distinct ego identity. Your body will serve as your physical avatar as you navigate a dense and dramatic reality. There will be many distractions causing you to forget your true nature and origin. You will experience a range of emotions from joy to loneliness to despair. But remember – no matter what trials and traumas you encounter, your soul remains perfectly safe. At times you may feel lost or afraid. This is totally normal. If you ever need guidance, simply slow down your busy mind and bring your awareness to the quiet place inside yourself. On this planet, nothing is permanent. People and things will come and go. You will fall in love and form sentimental attachments only to lose everything you hold dear. So cling to nothing too tightly, even yourself, and when it’s time to let go, let go with grace, for nothing is owned, only borrowed. As you walk among the people on the planet, try to be a good guest. Tread lightly. Remember that you are only visiting. Listen more than you speak. Give more than you take. Don’t keep your soft heart locked inside a glass cage, protected from wear and tear. You’ll never make it out alive and time passes quickly. So come back with some battle scars and good stories to tell.

a poem for the soul's journey by James McCrae

And I sure do have quite a few battle scars with lots of good stories to tell!
