Meet our Practitioners

Angie Wong

Founder and creator of Kinect, Certified Life/Executive Coach, Myofascial Release Specialist, Trauma Informed Practitioner, Energy Healer, Water Specialist 

I started my healing arts journey as a licensed massage therapist over 20 years ago. Within a few years, my technique soon evolved into my unique approach of combining trigger point therapy and myofascial release. From there, I dove into my own physical and emotional healing that led me down a path of self discovery and a deep need to share that experience for others to do the same. This is when I became certified as a life coach and knowing that I wanted to enter the corporate world to help lead teams, I simultaneously took the executive coaching track as well. My main focus is teaching people the mind body connection through awareness and mindfulness. To inspire others to be their own healers. To be curious and learn self mastery. 

I quickly realized how holistic our approach to healing needed to be in order to achieve the greatest potential outcomes. I also realized how energy is the epicenter that influences and affects our mind, body and spirit. Energy healing was intuitive for me, particularly when I started learning to heal my own energy, the impact my energy had on others, including how it affected me. It invited me to strengthen that ability so I became certified in reiki and started studying qigong, furthering my journey within. In awe of the human form, movement, and the healing arts, I am a forever student and have a strong passion to teach others for the greater good of humanity’s own wellbeing. Because, we truly are all connected.

Dr. Jane Hong

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) & Acupuncturist, Quantum Healing Facilitator

 THE FIRST AND MOST IMPORTANT STEP TO HEALTH IS TO CHOOSE OURSELVES AND TO BELIEVE THAT 'I' AM WORTH FIGHTING FOR.

I've lived with idiopathic chronic pain and health anomalies for more than half my life, but it wasn't until I became my own greatest health advocate that anything changed. I got tired of hearing the same thing: all tests showed I was in "normal range" so there wasn't an explanation for what I was experiencing. This sparked my journey to finding my own answers. Along the way, I picked up the following:
