As a little girl, she was always running and jumping, trying to find a way to run faster and jump higher! When she sprinted in the 100m dash and 4×100 relay races as the anchor, she experienced 5 years of perfect joy competing in France. Precision, focus and biomechanics were added to her original philosophy. Beatrice played competitively; European handball for 20 years and tennis for 3 years. With her self-understanding of how the body works, she wanted to go even further. She received a certificate in Radiology (Reims-France). She was responsible for running the radiology unit in the ER department (Strasbourg-France): Speed, focus and precision were even more useful.

In Paris she worked in a cardiology clinic where angiograms and pacemaker implants were the daily challenge. Beatrice came to the United States in December of 1990. Still interested in body mechanics, while raising her four boys, she decided to go back to school and learn about the body-mind-spirit connection, the power of touch and muscle response. She earned professional certificates and became a massage therapist and an instructor at The Body Therapy Center (BTC) in Palo Alto. Instruction – She taught Anatomy, Physical Mechanism of various sports, and injury assessment and treatment at BTC, Palo Alto. She also studied Applied Kinesiology and regularly attends workshops to keep current on new trends. Beatrice is a spinning instructor certified by Mad Dogg Athletics, Inc. and has completed her personal training certification (NASM) Beatrice’s client list has grown exponentially. Her expertise has brought her professional athletes from various disciplines: 49ers, Riverdance and Burn the Floor dancers, basketball players, marathon runners, and triathletes. She helped athletes perform better at different events such as: National USA Track and Field, East West Shrine Game. Not limiting herself to professionals, she loves to help high school sprinters raise their performance levels. She is fascinated by growing children and enjoys coaching them for proper posture to attain precision in movement, positive thinking and self- esteem, for achieving focus. Two years ago, Beatrice opened her private practice. A delightful creative blend of massage, personal training, and life coaching to help people achieve their personal best. Beatrice’s strength is to use a creative combination of training techniques that are directly applicable to her clients’ lifestyle, goals, performance, and well being.

Ken’s clinical experience is focused on the nervous system. When the ‘nervous system’ of eastern medicine is off-balance it can result in varied diseases ranging anywhere from pain to digestive disorders and especially stress/anxiety. Having treated patients with acupuncture since 2011, he still seeks to further refine his understanding by studying with a master of acupuncture who founded the Oakland School of Acupuncture (ACCHS) in the 80’s.

A local boy who has returned after a decade away to open his own practice, Ken Lau has a multifaceted understanding of the body. Having studied a pre-medicine curriculum at University of California, San Diego he then began to veer towards complementary and alternative health sciences. This was due to his black belt training in Shorinji Kempo (2006), he found his niche as his healing touch could be combined with his diagnostic skill as an herbalist and acupuncturist.

Rediscovering his family roots in Chinese Medicine particularly has been a fruitful experience as he is able to harness the herbal knowledge from both sides of his family. He also frequently visits his grandfather, who leads a tai chi group in San Francisco’s Golden Gate park every morning.

Ken seeks to further unify western medical understanding to the philosophy of eastern medicine with its comprehensive generalities of the body. Having worked in a hospital setting he was able to combine modalities as physical therapists and acupuncturists work side by side on post-stroke patients' limited mobility.

Herbal medicine and nutrition also have an overlap. A former nutritional advisor for Whole Foods Market, Ken understands the crossover between anti-inflammatory foods and that of the ‘cooling energetics’ of herbalism. In spring 2016, he began his own clinic Evolution Trainers.
