Come join this hands-on workshop, using modelling clay to shape and define your boundaries, crafting a healthy relationship between your inner needs and the external world.

On 16 August, our first mini retreat-style event took place at Tea Time 茶侍 - combining relaxing ambience, wellness strategies and delicious food.

We practised tuning in to our body through mindful movement, activating our awareness and sense of balance.

We enhanced our appreciation of the ambience, using our 5 senses to soak in the relaxing vibes and warm comforting sips of Chinese tea.

We helped each other gain insights on how our daily habits affect our mood and energy.

As one participant said, "I'm not used to slowing down like this." Others agreed, life tends to be a constant hustle of responsibilities and numbing, automatic habits.

Yet, by the end of the session, they all felt the intentional slowing down gave them a much needed reset.

✨💡✨
The common takeaway was to be more intentional, more mindful in their daily lives, and make better choices that balance their wellbeing.

I'm pleased to announce the launch of my first video course!

𝗠𝗶𝗻𝗱𝗳𝘂𝗹𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗪𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗯𝗲𝗶𝗻𝗴: 𝗙𝗶𝗻𝗱 𝗖𝗮𝗹𝗺 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗕𝗮𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗶𝗻 𝗮 𝗕𝘂𝘀𝘆 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗹𝗱

It's designed for you to 𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘯 𝘢𝘵 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘰𝘸𝘯 𝘱𝘢𝘤𝘦, 𝘪𝘯 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘰𝘸𝘯 𝘴𝘱𝘢𝘤𝘦.

There's no exciting bells and whistles, flashy captions, popping elements to grab your attention. Because there's TOO MUCH of that in our lives already.

The 𝗯𝘂𝘀𝘆 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗹𝗱 around us has 𝗻𝘂𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗱 and 𝗱𝘂𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗱 our senses, we are constantly seeking more to feel the same highs, and ignoring signs of problems until it blows up in our faces.

Mindfulness brings us back to the basics of what it means to be 𝗵𝘂𝗺𝗮𝗻.

To feel the full range of our human experience, without denying those little signals and
without getting overwhelmed by the intense ones.

To see the world with more curiosity and compassion, instead of judgment and competition.

When we are calm and balanced from within, we navigate the world with more wisdom and ease.

✨ Mental Fog? Not Anymore. Thanks to My New Buddies ✨

For a while, I was really struggling and It was hard to be in this state when I'm counselling my clients.

🧠 My mental focus and processing felt off — blanking out mid-conversation, losing my train of thought, and grasping for words I knew were in there somewhere... It was frustrating and even started affecting my confidence — especially when I needed to show up fully for my clients.

Enter: Mynd Bundle 💥
(👉 for memory & Sharp Focus)

I took a chance and gave it a try... and I’m SO glad I did. Even when I don’t sleep well, my thoughts flow smoother, my focus feels sharper, and I finally feel like I’m back in control of my mind again 🙌

If you’re in the same boat — tired of mental fog and brain fatigue — don’t wait anymore.

Reach out to my naturopath + nutritionist mentor, Ketki or DM “MENTAL BOOST” and let her guide you like she did for me. 💚 She’s the one who introduced me to this new buddies for my brain health, and I couldn't be more grateful.

I just concluded the 3rd run of my retreat last Sunday! 🥳🥰🤗

Navigating life (especially in fast-paced cities like Singapore) can be stressful, exhausting and suffocating.

You might be one of those who go on overseas holidays to escape from the stress every now and then. But what happens after the trip? Back to the same stressful environment, back to the same old habits and unhealthy patterns.

That is why my retreats are NOT just a temporary escape. From the workshop contents to the leisure activities, every aspect encourages you to learn from the experience, so you return to your life with more awareness and more resilience.

As always, I'm on the lookout for suitable locations for the next retreat. The same principles of Awareness, Balance and Calibrating our choices for better wellbeing, with a different charm at each location and different sparks with each group of participants.

Resurfacing this article from last year, because is an annual event affecting thousands of children and their parents.

Why are good grades so important?

"Because if I do badly,

😢 I'm disappointing my parents
😢 I'm wasting my parents' money (on tuition and special bootcamps to prep for PSLE)
😢 I won't have a good future or good career
😢 I AM A FAILURE."

These are exactly what the 12 yr olds are learning about themselves, when they see how much emphasis the adults place on the PSLE.

Parents, is that really what you want to teach your children?

And come on, look around you, how many adults actually credit their career achievements or life happiness to "my high score in PSLE, that set me up for lifetime success!"

Most children know that exams are necessary, or even helpful to prep them for the next phase of education. They just don't need it to come with such extreme pressure signalling "do well or die" mentality.

If you are a PSLE parent planning to take leave from work, do it to:

♥️ provide nutritious food for their brain and body
♥️ set up a clean, relaxing home environment to soothe their senses from all the stress
♥️ lend a listening ear for their difficult emotions
♥️ provide positive affirmations based on character strengths and effort (not based on their grades!)

As one of the child interviewees put it,
"Less nagging and more encouraging" 🥰

Have Singapore’s views on academic results shifted, even a bit, since a change of the PSLE scoring system in 2021? The programme Regardless of Grades looks at how parents are approaching the exam and what it is doing to children.

We need BALANCE now more than ever.

The world is chaotic,

the economy is uncertain,

workplaces are constantly trying to squeeze more output with less resources,

our minds are feeling the strain, losing focus, merely "firefighting" but not solving any real problems,

our bodies are exhausted and health issues are hitting closer to home.

How can we emerge from these challenges, stronger and wiser?

How can we strive for a better life without losing ourselves in the process?

By going back to the basics,
connecting with nature and simple pleasures,

listening to our bodies, our inner voices and one another,

we regain our balance and return to our daily lives with more wisdom.

I'll be facilitating the 3rd run of my signature programme, the Balance Retreat this June, selecting the most relevant strategies to heal and grow from the stress of today's world.

Come find your balance!

"Breaking free... starts with small, intentional steps."

Are you in the habit of using screens to relief stress and other uncomfortable emotions?

Reclaim your attention, sleep, self-control and overall wellbeing by making small intentional changes to the way you use your phone.

Can’t sit through a movie anymore? It’s a bigger problem than you may think, says the National University of Singapore’s Samer Elhajjar.

The things we see only when we slow down.

At one glance, it's just plants.

But when you take time to observe the details, you see different types of plants, different colours, shapes, sizes, textures, patterns, how they contrast or blend with one another, how they interact with the soil, the wind, the sun.

Humans are like that too, at one glance we all seem the same but actually we all come with different experiences, perspectives, strengths, shortcomings, we're constantly interacting with our environment etc.

No right no wrong, not good or bad. Just observing and wondering. Up to you what you make of it.
