4 Foods to Free Your Natural Energy

September 17, 2022 by Ivy Chan

The reason why I don’t like to rely on stimulants for energy is this: They make you go through things your body otherwise wouldn’t allow you to. Think about how different life would be if we actually did listen to the body daily, instead of forcing it, manipulating it, and tricking it with stimulants. The…

Pregnancy, 5-element theory, and nurturing yourself

August 23, 2018 by Ivy Chan

Hello everyone, I am back “home” to my beloved, our cats, and the new apartment. I say “home” in quotation marks, because, every time one spends away from their loved one(s), one realizes that they can make “home” in any town, any location, any condition, as long as they are together, trusting, and loving. I…

Better digestion, clear skin and a delicious non-alcoholic margarita!

June 18, 2018 by Ivy Chan

I have been getting my energy back. Slowly, but surely. These last two weeks have been a roller coaster- scary possibilities, tests, then good news, scary possibilities, tests, then more good news. Between these hospital visits and work, I did not have the energy (or the mental capacity) for much else. I have been reading…

HELLO REAL LIFE!

Welcome! My name is Ivy. Classical with a twist, married to the love of my life, a proud mum of two little lions, and one little human. We have recently moved to the gorgeous state of Washington.

My practice, Ivy Chan Wellness, unites ancient wisdom with modern knowledge. I was born into a family in the Middle East, my roots run deep with the knowledge of my ancestors—nomadic healers who passed down their wisdom through the generations. But my path led me on a different journey, one that would intertwine my passion for education with my quest for healing.

With a Ph.D. in Sociology, and a passion for nurturing minds, I have always seen myself as an educator. I believe in empowering individuals to become their own healers, rewrite their stories and redefine their relationship with their bodies, their hearts, and their overall well-being.

Through years of study and self-discovery, I have cultivated expertise in women’s health and wellness. My focus lies in helping my sisters find their most powerful selves at every stage of their lives. I want us not just to survive, but to thrive!

At Ivy Can Wellness, you will discover a sanctuary for transformation and growth. It is a place where the ancient traditions of healing seamlessly blend with the latest knowledge in Ayurvedic nutrition, yoga therapy, and holistic wellness. There, you will find the tools, resources, and guidance you need to embark on your personal journey of healing and self-discovery.

Shakingmytofu, on the other hand, aims to make plant-based life convenient, affordable, and adaptable for everyone. I will be happy if I can bring a little more light, health, and peace to the daily life. Feel free to spend time, and have a look at the recipes, lists of plant-based sources (from snacks to clothing), images and articles.

I invite you to embark on this extraordinary journey of self-discovery and well-being with me. Together, let’s shape our stories, rewrite our narratives, and embrace a life of vitality, joy, and balance.

Contact me anytime with queries, suggestions, and collaboration ideas at shakingmytofu@gmail.com or simply by filling out the form below. Look forward to hearing from you!
