Our Story

We are Alex and James, a Chinese–Vietnamese–Canadian practitioner couple dedicated to the study and application of Hermetic and Daoist Internal Alchemy, alongside ancestral healing traditions.

Our work brings together treatment, training, and lived practice. We support individuals who feel called to deepen their health, awareness, and capacity for service — not through belief or ideology, but through embodied cultivation and responsibility.

Originally from Toronto, Canada, we are now based in Ecopark, Hanoi, Vietnam, where our home also serves as a dedicated dojo for training and cultivation. Here, we host students from around the world for in-person courses and clinical work. We also travel regularly to Chiang Mai, Thailand, to teach and support ongoing training.

At the heart of our work is a simple aim: to make authentic healing knowledge accessible, practical, and grounded — so individuals can develop real skill, clarity, and self-trust on their path.
