Describe the moment that you knew you were a gifted spiritual healer. What signs or life events called you to this empowering path?
Bobby Shu: Growing up, I was surrounded by the church and many of my family members are part of the clergy. However, I chose to direct my attention toward serving the community. The outbreak of Covid-19 prompted me to reflect on my personal values and priorities. I have discovered my calling as a scared plant teacher who helps people reconnect with themselves spiritually and physically.
