A safe space for queer folks & people of color to heal
and begin creating the life they deserve

Healing Kung Fu provides Spiritual Martial Arts and Meditation practices that empower queer folks & people of color who are ready to improve in their physical, mental, emotional social, and spiritual health. This is especially important since we belong to a culture which often tries to undermine and disempower us. 

We believe that a deep level of healing requires an integration of the mind, body, and soul. Thus, the range of evidence based spiritual practices and counseling techniques provide a unique therapeutic approach that is both holistic and somatic.

Sifu DeVante Love (He/They)
"The Spiritual Wellness Warrior"

I began learning how to meditate around age 10 to help me deal with the anxiety I was facing around my stutter. Once my classmates saw me more calm, some started to bully me for being overweight and feminine. 

For years I felt worthless, unloveable, and weak. 

I took action to protect my heath by changing my diet and joining the wrestling team hoping for a better future. The team wasn't a safe space for me as a gay teenager, so I left and began training in Kung Fu. There in the studio, I felt accepted and was encouraged to embrace my spiritual side which I had gotten closely in touch with. I diligently trained, competed in tournaments, and earned my black sash in record time. In college, I earned a scholarship that sent me to China where I spent over four years teaching people how to develop their emotional and spiritual intelligence during the week while sharing tea and training with various Kung Fu masters on the weekends. 
 
I then moved to New York to obtain a Masters in Spiritual Psychology from Columbia University and created a framework that integrated spiritual healing, psychology, and my Kung Fu practice. I travelled, performed, and refined the Healing Kung Fu modality before competing in the Gay Olympics in Paris where I had a spiritual awakening. I realized I was destined to go public with teachings and create a safe space for queer folks and people of color to learn how to love themselves and heal themselves. Through my work with Zhenevere Sophia Dao, the founder of MogaDao, I became even more passionate about cultivating Healing Kung Fu as a space where folks can navigate issues of oppression, systemic racism, and anti-gayness so that they can feel more empowered in their bodies and in their lives. By integrating my shamanic roots into my work, I have been able to create a powerful space for deep transformation. ​

PAST STUDENTS HAVE SAID...

Devante's work is the integration practice of spirit, body, and mind. That creates a path to self-care, compassion, and expansion of awareness. I've known Devante's practices for 3 years, and he has been innovating how human-beings can expand their consciousness throughout his work. Devante breathes his work and test his new well-designed techniques in advance. His work is the representation of pure love.

​"These practices granted me with such serenity.  Not only did I feel relaxed, I noticed an overall positive affect on how I deal with stressful situations. DeVante does a wonderful job of making his sessions peaceful and easy to follow"  --E. Cruz, California, USA

"DeVante’s practice is unlike any meditative process I have experienced before. Unlike a lot of wellness courses that aim to get you back in “the game” (whether that be your career, your studies, your social obligations, etc.), DeVante’s guidance felt deeply personal. DeVante’s practice gave me a clear look at myself and created an authentic space for self care and reflection. I whole-heartedly recommend DeVante’s teaching to anyone who wants to get to know themselves better." --S. Rock, Virginia, USA

​“DeVante’s connection with his own mind and body translates to every aspect of aspect of his teaching. His radiant energy makes you feel at ease, no matter what your level of experience is. In these stressful times, it was a pleasure to be able to breathe lighter after our session.”
