An Educator, Innovator and Leader
Vernessa Chuah, the founder of Mindful Space, is a passionate educator, coach and mother dedicated to empowering parents and nurturing the wellbeing of children. With over 20 years of experience teaching across Canada, Australia, Malaysia and Singapore, she has gained deep insight into the needs of both children and adults across very different educational settings.
She is passionate about building a supportive community and looks forward to connecting with like-minded parents and educators who share her vision of empowering families and nurturing children's wellbeing. If you would like to learn more about Vernessa's journey, discuss a partnership, or seek guidance on grief and loss support, she would love to hear from you.
What Drives Vernessa Forward
Driven by her love of learning and sharing, Vernessa pursued a Master's in Education, specialising in Leadership, Policy and Change. Along the way she identified three pillars that inspired the creation of Mindful Space: parental wellbeing, practical knowledge and skills for parents, and family bonding through shared learning.
Her vision for Mindful Space is a nurturing environment where parents can recharge, build real parenting skills, and create lasting bonds with their children through engaging classes and workshops. Her love of the outdoors is reflected in the studio's edible urban farm, where families explore mindfulness and find a little stillness together.
As a certified grief and loss coach, Vernessa also supports women who have experienced miscarriage, pregnancy loss and infertility, offering guidance and compassion to help them navigate grief and trauma. This work grew out of her own experience of pregnancy loss, and it now sits at the heart of why Mindful Space exists.
