Meryl’s journey of healing began in 2001, when she discovered her passion for the martial arts. Enrolling as a student in the Wah Lum Northern Praying Mantis school of Kung Fu, she had the honor of receiving instruction from a second-generation sifu in the Wah Lum lineage, as well as an influential assistant instructor who was also a licensed massage therapist. Witnessing her teachers’ commitment to cultivating healthy bodies and minds inspired Meryl to explore the workings of the inner body and develop a holistic philosophy of wellness.
