About
ME
Hi, I’m Cindy—The Heart Whisperer.
I used to be the pride of my Asian parents—a successful auditor with the financial stability they dreamed of for me. I had checked all the boxes of success, yet I was slowly losing myself while busy living someone else’s definition of it. (And yes, my parents still have no idea what I actually do now).
Everything shifted in my mid-30s when I discovered I had ADHD. Suddenly, my sensitivity, creativity, and lifelong search for meaning weren't flaws. They were clues that I was never meant to fit into the conventional boxes.
This revelation led me on a journey of deep inner work. I immersed myself in coaching, somatics, and neuroscience-based change methods while blending these tools with my lived experience. My true transformation began when I stopped trying to "fix" myself and started advocating for who I truly am: setting boundaries, speaking my truth, and honouring my needs.
This is the freedom I want for you, too.
💡You don't have to prove your worth.
💡 You don't need permission to take up space.
💡 It's safe to be yourself, to be seen, and to ask for what you need.
Beyond Self-Help: A Holistic Perspective
For years, I filled my shelves with self-help books that promised transformation if only I just tried harder. But I've come to see how these narratives can be incomplete and sometimes harmful.
Traditional self-help often places the entire burden of change on the individual, ignoring the systems, conditioning, and emotional inheritanec that shape us. It tells us to build a stronger house, without ever asking if the foundation was cracked or whether the blueprint was ours to begin with.
I believe true transformation happens when we honour both our inner world and outer systems that influence us. When we combine emotional safety with systemic awareness, self-reflection with structural shifts, something powerful awakens.
Between Cultures, Between Worlds
As a Malaysian Chinese woman now living in Australia, I've navigated multiple cultures, identities, and invisible expectations. My life sits at the intersection of Eastern reverence and Western independence.
I know what it's like to carry expectations so quiet and deeply ingrained, you don't even realise they're shaping your choices. These lived experiences allow me to hold space for complexity: cultural nuance, intergenerational expectations, and the unspoken grief of trying to belong while breaking free.
What Clients Often Say I Bring to the Table
Here’s what my clients often reflect back to me—the qualities they feel, more than see, in our work together.
🌀 A gift for creating spaces where people feel deeply seen without ever needing to perform.
🌀 The ability to hold space for complexity and nuance while guiding people towards clarity.
🌀 Sensitivity to what’s unspoken—reading between the lines and inviting transformation without pressure.
🌀 A rare balance of emotional depth and grounded structure—making the intangible feel actionable.
WHY I DO THIS WORK
Every client I meet teaches me something.
From setting boundaries for the first time, to grieving what was lost, to quietly reclaiming their voice—these moments of courage inspire me daily. Whether it's a client redefining their relationship with coffee, healing decade-long pain, or standing unapologetically in their truth, I'm reminded that transformation is never linear.
It's tender, brave, and deeply personal.
This work is never one-way. It's a mutual unfolding, A homecoming.
