    What first drew you to sound therapy, meditation, or contemplative practice?

    I never plan for my work to be in this field. I knew Christina and she told me that Ive the potential of being a sound therapist. Took up a few courses from her and unknowingly Im into this field.

    Why does creating space for rest and awareness feel important today?

    In our busy work and social life in Singapore here, creating space for rest and awareness is so imprtant for mental wellness and self reset.

    What do you invite participants to experience during your sessions?

    I always invite the participants to let go of what they are holding on too and be in the present moment.

    What does “a space to simply be” mean to you?

    “a space to simply be” means to me be yourself and your own safe space and just yourself.

    How do you cultivate moments of presence or rest in your daily life?

    Sound session for participants is also a time for me to be at my own moment. as a sound facilitator, that moment is for us also to reset together with the participants.
