I love a quote from Howard Thurman: “Don’t ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive and go do it. Because what the world needs is more people who have come alive.”

For me, that question has always been resonant — because sharing what makes me come alive has been both my deepest calling and the hardest thing I’ve ever done.

Stephen Chee, MD, MPH, MA, MTOM, LAc

As a child, I was deeply sensitive. What made me come alive, I always did alone. I would imagine discovering long-lost dinosaur eggs, loving them until they hatched, and then nurturing them. I also carried a quiet knowing that this earth was only a temporary home — that we come from the stars. I never told anyone. I didn’t even know why.

Years later, in meditation, I felt vividly alive. I asked myself: Am I safe to connect from this place? The answer came: I don’t know. I realized I had buried what made me come alive for my own survival. What’s changed everything has been the relationships where I could be safe — safe to be me, to love what I love, and to be loved for exactly who I am.

And here is the mystery of love: what I didn’t receive, but later was given, I can now give to others. In the giving, love reveals itself to all of us anew. This is why I do the work I do.

What People Say About Dr. Steve Chee

“Attending a workshop with Dr. Steve Chee is an act of self-love. This beautiful practice brought me deep feelings of overall love and well-being. I felt so alive and so deeply held as I surrendered into the safe space that Dr. Chee created. He is such a strong presence of love and his invitation to allow ones true essence - the presence of love – to move one’s body as an act of healing is a rich, practice that I intend to incorporate into my daily devotion.” ~ DB

"I just wanted to convey how entirely grateful I am for your presence on this planet and in my life. Your innate gifts and the abilities and skills you have honed are such a help to me in my spiritual progress, and on all the levels." ~ WS

"I took myself off on a personal retreat and was rereading my journal from 2019 when I was having an extended epidsode of issue with my lungs. I wrote in my journal about our sessions. Your counsel and work supported healing approaches incorporating physical, emotional and energetic approaches. It was a rich time of learning for me and you were an important guide and support. Thank you for all you gave me in my healing process. I have changed how I think about my immune system and my teachers and body remind me that the body always comes first. I have not had any coughing/lung episodes for the last 2.5 years." ~ KG

"Steve is an incredible facilitator on all levels. With his incredible, warm, nourishing, heart he infuses his western medical expertise in his workshops. The workshop brought all the aspects of mind, body, and heart together. The idea of bringing the experience of unconditional loving in the body, and that I am in charge of that was beautiful. I love the idea of we are a soul with a physical body and we can experience love flowing throughout. Very powerful! Steve made me feel held, and safe and inspired me to try something new. Something I can use in my daily practice in connection with my love and my being." ~ FL

"I didn't know it but I had won the lottery when I got Dr. Chee as my practitioner. He has many gifts, among them is his endless patience in listening while respecting what you've just told him even if it's the 4th time you've told him. His Zen-like calmness conveys a message of trust and safety. Then what he does with your history is sheer genius. The frosting on these gifts is his perception beyond what things appear to be. He probes while keeping an open mind and heart until he gets to the heart-of-the-matter, i.e. the emotional genesis of the manifested pain. I have endless gratitude for my experiences with Steve and his gifts. I know you will too. Kind regards" ~ CW
