Winnie Chan Wang, Queen of Compassionate Transformation ™, is a mindfulness and traditional medicine expert, international speaker, bestselling author, and a professor in acupuncture at the Alhambra Medical University. In her private practice, Winnie applies integrative medical approaches (acupuncture, mindfulness training, and reiki) to help her clients reduce fatigue, pain, anxiety, fear, and worry. She has the vulnerability of Brene Brown and the science-based background of Deepak Chopra where she provides her clients with an integrative approach to healing past trauma and challenges. World-renowned psychologist Carl Jung once spoke about "The Shadow" and basketball legend Kobe Bryant described how to harness your "dark emotions." In her first daring and collaborative book, "Honoring Darkness: Embrace Shadow Work to Nourish and Grow Your Power," Winnie and her co-author Ji W. Choi challenge conventional thinking by sharing alternative ways of healing. Winnie holds a Masters of Science degree in Oriental Medicine from Alhambra Medical University. She is the recipient of the President's Award for academic excellence and the Internship Award for her dedication in the TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine) clinic. Before starting her traditional medicine business, Winnie earned dual bachelor of science degrees in Computer Science and Finance from MIT, a master of science degree in Integrated Marketing from NYU, and has worked on Wall Street. She is a doctoral candidate in Integrative Medicine and is currently based in Los Angeles, California.
