Ms Cheng Ming Hui
Mindfulness Teacher
Ming Hui spent 20 years in the corporate world, with extensive experience in regional business planning, supply chain, HR and the oil and gas industry. When stress levels escalated to an all-time high trying to balance a demanding job with a young family, she felt lost – lost in the past, and lost in the future - notwithstanding having an on-off meditation practice then. It was only when she decided to go right back to basics, by unlearning and relearning mindfulness meditation with MBCT, that she found her way back to the present again. As Ekhart Tolle put it, “The power for creating a better future is contained in the present moment.”
Ming Hui is a certified Workplace Mindfulness Facilitator and trained in Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT), and on the supervised teaching pathway with the Oxford Mindfulness Centre (UK). She is passionate about bringing her experiences to connect with learners, helping them improve emotional wellbeing and access their inner wisdom through mindfulness.
