About
I am originally from Taiwan and have lived and worked in 3 countries. With first hand experience of breaking free from family patterns, developing a new life in foreign lands, dealing with discrimination, trauma and burnout, I understand the pain involved and the courage required in finding your true identity and living the life you really want. I am passionate about helping people to clear up burdens and confusions in all of their relationships, so they can become the person who they always want to be.
Through trial and error in my own healing process, I can tell you what works and what doesn’t, thereby saving you lots of time and unnecessary pain. With heartfelt gentleness and crystal clear observation, I help you pace your healing process and keep you breakthrough without overwhelm. With your permission and joint effort, many missing pieces will be revealed and come together for you.
Trainings & Qualifications
My earlier interests were with psychodrama and Satir’s family therapy. My personal life experience then led me to the world of energy-based healing. Therapeutic Touch and Reiki taught me to trust my intuition and to tune in through my body. My practice of Insight (Vipassana) and Loving Kindness (Metta) meditations continues to sustain my energy and to strengthen my presence.

“Thank you so much Ming, for the workshop and for this very helpful information. You are a very sensitive and gentle guide.”
“Thank you so much for last Friday's workshop. I can speak from personal experience that it was truly transformative.”
"In my recent family constellation with Ming I got to experience her great gentleness and expertise as a counsellor, who deeply cares about her clients. Ming's kindness, compassion and professionalism were very important to me in the process of releasing an old burden that I had not been aware I was still carrying. Through the work we did I felt a definite internal shift and a sense of relief and overall lightness after our session. Ming's follow-up guidelines helped me in making the most out of the session and integrating the work we had done. I can highly recommend Ming as a counsellor and expert in family constellations."
"Ming's work is subtle, elegant, and kind. She moves with insight into the Constellations with grace, power, and with serious intent. She knows how to work with families in distress and her healing moves to enlighten and enrich, not only the client, but the representatives and the group. Her personal depth and lovely timelessness gifts her clients with clarity, understanding, and respect. I recommend her work for those who seek to journey further along."
“Dear Ming, I got the job! Thank you so very much for your support over the summer. Your warmth and kindness really comforted me at a time when I needed it. I also took your advice to heart and printed out all of the positive emails that I received from delivering good work, and carried them with me to my second interview. If helped me remember the good work I have done in the past. Ming, I wish you continued success in your private practice. If I ever need someone to talk to again, I will be sure to get in touch with you.”
“Dear Ming Huey, I just wanted to let you know I really admire the work that you do. Thank you for listening and being so insightful. Our sessions together have made a difference in my world.”
