About the author

With her rich Asian heritage, Serena brings a lifetime of Eastern wisdom and over twenty-five years of diverse lived experience to her teaching, training, and writing. A former teacher and director for troubled youth, Serena was deeply impacted by the widespread insecurity she observed in the young women she worked with. Because she was once them.


As an Ayurvedic health practitioner and yoga therapist, Serena empowers women to break free from the noise of external expectations and cultivate conscious relationships—beginning with themselves. Serena believes, when more women channel their inherited resources toward a sustainable, soul-led path, the more power they will hold to spark healing—within both themselves and the heart of humanity itself.


Born in Canada to a Chinese mother and Indian father, Serena now lives in the lush jungle of Costa Rica with her beloved partner, where she hosts trainings and retreats at their wellness center and spa on the Pacific Gold Coast.
