Our Founders

Moving from China to Canada as a teenager, Ivy immediately noticed the absence of familiar Eastern therapeutic practices for everyday wellness, as well as more limited access to the herbal medicine she grew up with.

It seemed that all too often, painkillers were the default option for even the most common ailments like menstrual cramps and general pain management. This contrast sparked a curiosity and deep sense of purpose.

Inspired by her grandparents and the traditions passed down through generations, Ivy saw an opportunity to share the benefits of these time-honoured practices with a wider Western audience, bridging Eastern herbal wisdom with modern approaches to wellness. 

With over 20 years of experience in Traditional Chinese Medicine, Yang Sheng, and Ancient Mei Rong practices, Linda brings a deeply rooted understanding of Eastern wellness traditions to Wulu. 

Internationally trained in France, Linda refined her practice through specialist work in Japan where she was hired as a specialist on Eastern medicinal practices, massage therapy, herbal wellness, and the 12 Jing-Well points.

She then became the Training Director for a national spa program within a five-star luxury hotel group, and worked for over 15 years as a physiotherapist for both the Rolex Shanghai Masters and the China Open. Linda has allowed her unique cross-cultural expertise to inform a holistic philosophy of care that bridges ancient knowledge with contemporary wellness practices, extending all of her experience to the vision of Wulu.
