The idea to create a well-being programme for psoriasis patients took root when Rocyie Wong decided to officially begin her journey to holistic healing for her psoriasis, after more than a decade of suffering from increasingly severe bouts of inflammatory reactions, and little to no progress with conventional treatments.
Much like how she made her official social media debut on Instagram with the life-changing post that showed her bared skin, Wong was led by a question she asked herself years ago, frustrated, and tired of being held back by her chronic condition: What can I do for me? How can I heal from this?
And the key components to healing oneself, she reveals, in the context of living with psoriasis, is about how to love yourself enough, so that you can make the best decisions for your body today and the days to come.
However, with a life-long, incurable disease like psoriasis, Wong knew intimately that loving yourself was easier said than done. “As a patient myself, knowing what I know today and having gone through more than a decade of experimenting with all types of treatments—both conventional and alternative—I needed to choose what was best for myself by being able to make informed decisions.”
