A life in dialogue
with the body.
I am Ruijie Wu (伍芮洁), a psychotherapist and educator interested in the ways our bodies, stories and relationships shape how we live.
where I stand
My work brings together psychological thinking and embodied experience. I am drawn to the places where words become insufficient, where movement offers another language, and where a person can begin to encounter their experience with greater freedom.
My clinical interests include trauma, grief and loss, cross-cultural transitions, identity and meaning-making. My approach is informed by existential-humanistic and feminist perspectives, alongside body-oriented and dance movement practices.
I have studied and worked across China and France, and continue to explore how culture, history and lived experience are carried in the body.
