Personal Background

Vivian originated from China and came to Singapore when she was 18 to pursue study by herself. Searching for different experiences and life perspectives, She seized opportunities of living in US and Germany for a short period of time as cook and as student. Now She is still patiently waiting for the timing to experience living in different places. Living in diverse cultures and environments independently, Vivian understands and admires the uniqueness of different people and their “why” behind their actions. Adapting and thriving in changes are a constant exercise to Vivian and she has enjoyed the challenge and seeing the beauty of how herself have grow from them. Vivian is also excited to see how her clients could transform out from a change they are wanting.

In her 2nd year as new mom, she is still learning how to juggle the beautiful chaos in raising a toddler, running a home, working on her passion and ensuring enough space and time for herself! In her free time, Vivian love to indulge herself in different forms of music (playing piano, attending concerts, musicals and dancing performance etc!) and experience her emotion flowing in it. Also She has been very active in fitness like Pilates, yoga, tennis, swimming, jogging (before giving birth her little toddler). Recently, Vivian started to work on her fitness and habit project “Fuel up energy” to move forward herself in fitness again! Vivian also enjoys reading and recently she is very interested in light psychology books which has helped her raising self-awareness and understanding others better.
