Human and Animal Chiropractic Student · Nervous System Specialist · Spinal Energetics · Inner Child and Generational Trauma Healing · Life Coach
I help self-led people get out of their own way, heal at the root, and step fully into the life they know they are meant for - through nervous system care, subconscious mind reprogramming, and inner child and generational trauma healing.
Who am I
I am a first-generation Asian Canadian, born in Ottawa to Vietnamese refugee parents. Before the Communist takeover, my family owned businesses in South Vietnam. When the regime took control, they lost everything - their home, their livelihood, the life they had built. They sought refuge in Canada and rebuilt from nothing, surviving day by day. When your family is in survival mode, there is no room for feelings. Affection, emotional safety, and connection quietly take a back seat. And those inner child wounds do not disappear. They just go underground, waiting.
I grew up between two worlds - a traditional Vietnamese home and a predominantly white school where I was bullied and never truly felt like I belonged. In those years I experienced severe depression, suicidal ideation, body dysmorphia, and an eating disorder. I carried it silently, because that was all I knew how to do.
What changed everything - and what eventually led me here - is written in the timeline below. Every certification, every chapter, every version of me that had to break before it could evolve.
And I want you to know: healing does not have to be heavy. In my space, it gets to be warm, safe, and even joyful. Making healing feel good is not just my style - it is my philosophy.
The journey
Born in Ottawa to Vietnamese refugee parents who had lost everything in South Vietnam. Growing up between two worlds - a traditional Vietnamese home and a predominantly white school - meant years of not belonging anywhere. Depression, suicidal ideation, body dysmorphia, and an eating disorder were companions I carried silently for a long time.
When my mom was treated unfairly at her workplace and faced racial discrimination, she lost her income and we had very little. I helped her start a home-based spa business - building her website, setting up SEO, and doing all the online marketing from scratch. To this day, it is still the highest rated space in our area. That was my first taste of what was possible when you show up for someone you love.
University was my ticket out. I discovered fitness almost by accident - and it gave me something I had never had: a relationship with my body that actually felt good. What started as survival became a calling.
I became the only student personal trainer on campus - and started teaching pole fitness on the side. Two very different things that were really about the same thing: helping people feel powerful in their bodies.
Launched my personal training business, EH Fitness, built client by client. Graduated in 2016 with a BA (Honors) in Linguistics and Sociology - which deepened my understanding of how the stories we tell ourselves either hold us back or set us free.
From 2015 to 2018, I worked with over 70 different brands and companies as a brand ambassador and team lead for various marketing companies. I was on the ground spreading brand awareness, leading teams, and learning firsthand what makes people connect with a product or a message. It was an education in people, persuasion, and presence.
Transitioned into online fitness coaching and quickly noticed something no workout plan could fix: people kept self-sabotaging. Losing weight and gaining it back. Starting strong and quitting when it got hard. The answer was not more discipline. It was something much deeper.
My business grew so much that people started asking me to help them grow in the online space. I became an online business coach, helping clients make consistent $10,000 months. But the same patterns kept showing up. Make the money and spend it all. Build momentum and self-sabotage. I knew the answer was not more tactics - it was something deeper.
In February 2020, I got certified in Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), Clinical Hypnotherapy, Timeline Therapy (Time Techniques), Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT), and Life and Success Coaching at the practitioner, master practitioner, and trainer level. Then COVID hit - and everything came crashing down. My business, my identity, my sense of control. Everything I had suppressed came rushing up all at once. I went all in on healing. Evolve with Evelyn was born from that breakdown becoming a breakthrough.
In 2023, I realized that trauma is not just stored in the mind - it is stored in our body, our cells, and our fascia. That led me to enroll in chiropractic school at Life Chiropractic College West in my late 20s. Between 2023 and 2026, I trained in 18+ modalities, techniques, and methods spanning mind and body healing - building a toolkit that goes far beyond any single discipline.
In 2024, I made the decision to also pursue animal chiropractic - because our fur babies deserve care too and there are not enough voices advocating for them. I began the program at the end of my chiropractic doctorate in 2026. I want to help both people and animals live the longest, happiest, most fulfilling, and most active lives possible.
This fall, I complete my doctorate in both human and animal chiropractic at Life West. Everything I have ever studied, trained in, lived through, and healed from - it all comes together here. Dr. Evelyn is almost here.
Real change happens at the root - and that is exactly where we go.
Not the symptom. Not the story on the surface. The actual root. That is what makes this work different.
Ways to work together
Every session is intuitive - I draw from all of my training to meet your body and mind exactly where they are. Available mobile and in North County, San Diego.
Current offerings - Body Healing
Soft tissue and fascial release targets the connective tissue that surrounds and supports every muscle, organ, and structure in your body. When fascia becomes restricted from injury, stress, or stored trauma, it creates tension and pain throughout the whole system. Through precise, sustained pressure and movement, we release these restrictions - restoring ease, mobility, and comfort back to your body.
Spinal Energetics combines Eastern and Western traditions to work with the spine, nervous system, and energetic field. Using light touch or non-contact techniques, I help encourage the body to release stored tension, emotions, and stress through spontaneous movements, sounds, and breath. Many clients describe this as one of the most profound bodywork experiences they have ever had - the body leads, and we follow.
Current offerings - Mind Healing
These in-person emotional release sessions go into the deeper layers of what has been living underneath the surface. Through somatic awareness, emotional processing, and subconscious reprogramming, we work with the inner child wounds and inherited patterns that have been quietly running the show. You leave lighter, freer, and more like yourself.
Using Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), Timeline Therapy (Time Techniques), Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT), and Clinical Hypnotherapy, we go directly to the source of the beliefs, patterns, and emotional blocks that are keeping you stuck. This is not talk therapy - this is root-cause work at the level of the subconscious mind, where lasting change actually happens.

What people say
"Working with Evelyn has been life changing. I started in a dark place with no answers or support. My journey with Evelyn has guided me to a healthier version of myself. I have gained self esteem, coping skills, and learned how to validate truth when my thoughts get the best of me. Working with Evelyn is like having your very own personal cheerleader. She gets to the root of it all. Thank you so much."
"Evelyn has this incredible way of coaching without coaching. The conversation just seems to flow in the most useful directions, while all the way I feel heard, validated, and am provided with guidance with a soft touch that fits within my values and goals. At the end I am left feeling expansive, and with practical steps that I am excited to take."
"From the moment I met her, she created such a safe, welcoming space that immediately put me at ease. She has a calm, genuine energy that made it easy to open up and fully trust the process. I was able to release emotional trauma I did not even realize I was holding onto, and I felt more regulated and grounded the very same day. She is truly special."
"I came for a session with Evelyn and was so blown away with how different this bodywork session felt than others. Evelyn is trained in many modalities, and it was wonderful allowing her to intuitively choose what would work best with my body. I left feeling much lighter and my body much more relaxed. She has incredible down to earth and positive energy."
"Evelyn was absolutely wonderful during my session. She was incredibly informative and took the time to explain everything in a way that made me feel confident and at ease. What I appreciated most was her genuine and kind spirit. She created such a comfortable environment that I felt completely relaxed and cared for. I truly left feeling better both physically and mentally."
"I booked 3 sessions with Evelyn wanting to identify and break patterns that have been blocking my progress. Evelyn is so compassionate, caring, a wealth of knowledge and truly your number 1 hype girl! I highly recommend Evelyn for a transformative coaching session. My only regret was not reaching out to her sooner."
