Introduction

My Story:

Hi, I’m Heidi, a mindfulness practitioner, certified meditation coach, and qualified Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) teacher through Brown University.

I grew up in Hong Kong and moved to the UK to study art and design. Living and working in London exposed me to a rich mix of cultures, which I deeply appreciate. These experiences helped me develop a deeper understanding of the connection with people, life, and surroundings, and the many ways of being and living. I am passionate about cultivating a space where people from all walks of life can connect and explore mindfulness together, no matter where they are in the world.

Mindfulness has been deeply supportive in my own life, and I now share it through group classes, MBSR programs, one-on-one sessions, and workshops, including weekly classes for cancer patients and caregivers. I am especially grateful for my apprenticeship in MBSR teaching with my dearest teacher and mentor, Bob Stahl, where I assisted and co-taught full MBSR programs. This experience continues to shape my growth as a teacher, grounding me in integrity and compassion as I share this practice with others.

My intention is to create a nurturing, safe space where you can explore healing, learning, and cultivate well-being as your unique life journey unfolds.

  • Mindfulness Meditation Retreats

    I host day-long and half-day mindfulness meditation retreats throughout the year. Silent retreats give us an opportunity to foster a deeper connection with our body, mind, and heart. They offer a space for cultivating calmness, inner peace, and a deeper understanding of oneself.

"My approach is 'starting-from-within'. When we connect from within and develop a deeper understanding of ourselves, we can connect with our surroundings in a gentler, kinder, and more meaningful way. In one-on-one sessions, I support individuals in deepening their understanding of themselves through mindfulness, meditation, and coaching. Together, we set intentions for the personal or professional goals they wish to achieve. Additionally, I offer group classes, including mindfulness practice sessions and Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) programs, where participants can explore and learn mindfulness practices in a supportive group setting with like-minded individuals."
