Meet Phoebe

I’m Phoebe Liang, founder of Harmony Living. I grew up in China, but it was in Iowa that my close relationship with nature took root. Tending my garden, growing flowers and vegetables, gathering herbs, fermenting, and cooking became ways to observe, experiment, and learn.

Nature has given me food, remedies, and practical knowledge. It has also taught me ways to navigate a complex world—to respect different needs, adapt to changing seasons, and make room for growth. These experiences brought new meaning to the ancient Chinese idea of the oneness of humanity and nature. We are part of nature, and how we live shapes our relationship with the whole.

I gathered these experiences and reflections in my book, Harmony with Nature: Ancient Wisdom for Modern Life. The same principles guide the products I develop, from HEVA skincare to pillows made with natural materials.

Through my Harmony Living workshops, I invite people to explore these ideas together and find practical ways to live with greater balance in the modern world.
