Shian’s Story
Shian has lived globally, spending many years in California, New York, Shanghai, Singapore, and currently, Washington State. She has felt the pull toward creating a more peaceful world for as long as she can remember. Even as a young person, she remembers being in awe and wonder at the thought of truly flourishing people and communities. This brought her to study business success, civic leadership, and human potential at UC San Diego, New York University, and Fudan University. Her passion for this work is enduring and now she enjoys 20+ years of experience related to mindset, neuroscience, and brain- and body-based personal development. She bases much of her personal and professional endeavors on her experience with mindfulness meditation and energetic flow, especially the balance of yin and yang. Shian adores the art of working in communities, sharing an African Proverb, “If you want to go fast, go alone, if you want to go far, go together”.

The meaning of her name, Shian, is “world peace”, which has resonated with her for a lifetime. She has always promoted harmony and relationship building as the connective tissue for people and organizations in society. When choosing a favorite food or beverage, Shian opts to listen to her mood rather than rely on a trusted favorite. Oftentimes these treats include fresh juices, teas, and international foods like Mediterranean and Middle Eastern. She loves listening to music, especially live music in small, intimate gatherings like a cozy jazz bar. On a day off, you’d likely find Shian and her husband exploring something in nature together. They love being by the water and in the woods as it brings a rich feeling of connection and innate beauty.
