My journey so far…

Hello there. My name is Carina. I’m a city girl from Singapore, noodlephile, and momtrepreneur with big dreams! If you are interested in practising Yoga, finding your version of financial happiness, and all things self-care, keep on reading.

First and foremost, I am so pleased you are reading this!

Nothing in my life has given me more strength, stability, and inner calm like the practice of Yoga. Like many, my Yoga path began as a physical practice in 2007. It was often during savasana that I hear the soft inner voice searching for respite and my place in the world. When life gave me a chance to step away from the banking industry, I used the opportunity to check off my bucket list. Intuitively, I signed up for a Yoga teacher training in 2012. That singular training changed my life. I understood breathing for the first time, my feet felt connected to the ground, and realised Yoga is definitely not a competitive sport in a sweaty studio. The ethos of Yoga is simply to accept yourself wholly and lovingly. Each time I practise Yoga, I am coming home to my Self.

I moved 4 times - 4 different countries in the last decade. It has been an adventure, but oftentimes, unsettling. The few things that kept me rooted with each move were Yoga, my good fortune to forge friendships with like-minded awesome women, and my sense of confidence knowing that I am financially stable and independent. Dishing out money management titbits to my girlies became second nature and organically evolved into late-night financial literacy seshs over board games and wine. At the core of my being, I’m a numbers gal. So you can say I’m a Yoga teacher who understands the art of money…Say What?

I became a mother 4 years ago. It has been the most difficult chapter of my life, filled with surgeries, tears, but unbridled joy. The greatest lesson learnt so far is that I can't do it all. I am grateful for my tiny tribe helping me raise my dear Kai. These days, you can find me juggling life as a first-time mom, momtrepreneur, student, and learning to put my needs first. The importance of self-care never quite hit home more so now than ever (pandemic, I’m looking at you). I am all about filling up my tank before serving others, so as not to run on fumes.

Currently, I am planning on my next solo staycation, and dreaming of ways I can help women live the best version of themselves - physically, financially, mentally, and spiritually. I am on a mission to make women feel strong through Yoga and money empowerment, inside and out. In essence, learning and practising the art of self-care.

Let’s journey together.
