H. E. Wong (she/they) is a devoted partner, loving parent, and proud sixth-generation Texan, deeply rooted in Austin, where their heart and home reside. Queer, neurodivergent, and disabled, H. E. Wong draws strength and inspiration from a culturally rich Irish-Catholic and Sicilian heritage. Influenced by the traditions of healing, midwifery, and teaching, and with ancestral ties to the vibrant city of New Orleans, she carries forward a legacy of wisdom and resilience as a healer.
Fueled by a deep belief in the transformative power of community, H. E. Wong is dedicated to fostering meaningful connections and creating culturally responsive, ethically responsible wellness experiences. Her mission is to empower Austin’s parenting, teaching, and creative communities by curating spaces that inspire growth and healing. Through mindful coaching, revitalizing yoga, and holistic wellness support, she uplifts individuals on their unique journeys, offering tools and guidance that span the spectrum of needs and aspirations.
Since 2006, she has passionately served Austin’s community, acknowledging the Indigenous Peoples whose lands and legacy are foundational to Texas: the Coahuiltecan, Jumanos, Tonkawa, Comanche, and Lipan Apache. With gratitude to the tribes who continue to live on and care for these lands, H. E. Wong honors their enduring relationship to this place, which predates the founding of Texas.
