A global philosophy of personal health

Before pursuing Chinese medicine, Dr. Schuyler served as a Chinese linguist in the US Navy, becoming fluent in Mandarin and familiar with Daoist philosophy. This exposure, coupled with environmental justice organizing and degrees in Environmental Science and Chinese Language and Philosophy, underscored the interconnectedness of individual and global wellness.

Dr. Schuyler’s journey emphasized that personal health reverberates into the world’s health—socially, ecologically, politically, and economically. This understanding drives her mission: to help individuals experience balance, purpose, and peace, thereby contributing to a healthier, more harmonious world.
