About Us

Childhood abuse is no joke. I spent years thinking that like a bad breakup, time heals and eventually it would be a distant story, my feelings detached from the event past. Boy, was I wrong.

I thought once I had the stable partner, stable job, supportive friends, pursued passions, my healing would be complete. After all, I had done yoga, breath work, affirmations, mindfulness, and reiki. But none of it took away the overwhelming memories of my parents making clear through their actions that my safety and subsequent healing will never have an important enough place in their heart. Not enough for them to stop the abuse, not enough to change when I made attempts to end life as a teenager, not enough to protect me from getting re-traumatized again. To this day, they haven’t claimed responsibility for their choices. Vivid flashbacks intrude your mind unless you are preoccupied, which means I can't really relax, and instead remain in a chronic state of alertness.

For a society so invested in giving the best to our children, Hong Kong (and Asia in general) is very behind in its mental health initiatives. Instead of offering support for adults who already have to carry the stress of today's affairs, adult survivors are inundated with judgment, lack of intervention, and expected to deal with it in private.

With this I'm starting a platform for adult survivors of child abuse and abandonment. This is an online space that is safe and nonjudgmental, where individuals can share their story, have access to mindfulness tools and understand what treatments and services are available to them. This space hopefully helps them feel less alone, finally be heard and find healing at their own pace.
