About Me


Who is Ya-Chun B Chi?


Since 2014, I have had the privilege of walking alongside people of all ages, genders, religions, and experiences as they move through healing of many kinds. I am a queer Taiwanese Canadian (they/them) working on unceded territory of the Musqueam, Squamish, and Tsleil-Waututh nations, otherwise known as the Vancouver Lower Mainland, British Columbia.


Growing up in a traditional conservative household, I know what it means to be a steward of my own disparate truth and a bridge between cultures. It’s challenging to grapple with competing values and boundaries in a family setting, especially when there are cultural and language barriers at play. It is my greatest pride to support others in their journeys with a space devoted to non-judgemental, authentic healing.


For me, growing up between two cultures, Taiwanese and Canadian, I learned early what it means to integrate different norms and values in myself and in my family. Being a member of the queer community as well, I’ve worked to reconcile my truth with a traditional, religious, and conservative upbringing. What I bring to my work is a deep appreciation for the journey through guilt, shame, and anxiety that can be present when different parts of one’s life are at odds with each other.


It is my honour to support clients in their healing. For me, doing my job well means supporting individuals with the best possible tools as they navigate their journeys.
