From the East: a sense that the body, the heart, and the mind were never really separate.

来自东方的，是一种体会——身体、心与念头，本来就不曾真正分开。

From the West: a long habit of looking inward — asking, noticing, and choosing to live differently.

来自西方的，是一种长久的习惯——向内看，提问，留意，并选择换一种活法。

Renée’s work lives where the two meet. It came out of years spent between cultures, and it holds the Eastern attention to inner life alongside the Western patience for how people actually come to live differently.

Renée 伊伊老师的工作，就在两者相遇的地方。它来自多年在不同文化之间的生活，把东方对内在的留意，和西方那种「人究竟是怎么慢慢活成另一种样子」的耐心，放在一起。

Not choosing one over the other — just letting both stay in the room.

不是在两者之间挑一个，而是让它们都留在同一个房间里。

For more than twenty-five years, Renée has been following one question: what actually helps a person live differently — not for a week, but for good?

二十五年来，Renée 一直跟着一个问题走：究竟是什么，真正帮一个人活成另一种样子——不是维持一周，而是长长久久地。

She didn’t come to this work through a plan. She came through her own questions — the ones that wouldn’t resolve on their own, the years spent between two countries trying to make sense of herself. Over time, she began noticing the same questions appearing in different lives. Different stories. Different circumstances. Yet often, the same longing underneath. The work grew out of staying close to that.

她走到这项工作，不是因为有过什么规划，而是因为她自己的那些问题——那些不会自行了结的问题，那些在两个国家之间、试着把自己弄明白的年月。慢慢地，她开始注意到，同样的问题出现在不同的人生里。不同的故事，不同的处境，底下却常常是同一种渴望。这项工作，是在靠近这一切的过程里，慢慢长出来的。

Raised in China and living in the United States for over twenty years, she has spent much of her life learning to move between two ways of seeing — and two ways of understanding ourselves. Her background runs across English and American literature, translation, and doctoral studies in Mind-Body Medicine (身心整合策略研究, in process), along with years in corporate life, education, coaching, and community.

在中国长大，在美国生活了二十多年，她人生的很大一部分，都在学着在两种看世界的方式之间往返——也在两种理解自己的方式之间往返。她的背景横跨英美文学、翻译，以及身心整合策略研究（博士在读），也包括多年在企业、教育、教练与社群里的日子。

But the parts that shaped how she works didn’t come from any classroom. They came from living — the questions, the losses, the slow turns, and the moments when something you’d carried for years finally lands.

但真正塑造她工作方式的，不来自任何课堂，而来自生活本身——那些提问、那些失去、那些缓慢的转身，以及某个你揣了很多年的东西，终于落下来的时刻。

Over time, she found a way of working that brings together a reader’s ear for what’s underneath, real listening, a contemplative kind of attention, and plain, practical steps you can actually take on a Tuesday.

慢慢地，她找到了一种工作的方式：把一个译者对「字面之下」的耳朵、真正的倾听、一种安静的留意，和那些你在某个平常的星期二真能迈出去的、朴素具体的步子，放在一起。
