About
York Cheng, Founder of Mindfulnests
For over 16 years, I was part of the academic team at Ngee Ann Polytechnic, guiding young minds and growing alongside them. But over time, I felt called to a different path - a pull toward something deeper. I began to see how stress, overwhelm, grief and constant busyness were taking a toll on people of all ages, from caregivers and professionals to the elderly and youth, just as they had on me.
That’s when I decided to make a change. Today, I would like to create space—for calm, clarity, and compassion—in the lives of those who need it most.

A Not-So-Secret Wish
To curate experiences designed to invite calm and clarity, nurture the mind, body and soul.
To collaborate with mindfulness practitioners, whether you are caregivers, retirees, working professionals, or anyone in a season of pause or change, ready to share your passion, wisdom, lived experiences in holistic healing modalities such as sound bath, Reiki, or interests in gardening, tea appreciation, expressive art, pottery, flower arrangement and more.
Through these shared experiences of mindfulness and connection, Mindfulnests becomes a nurturing, safe space and community where presence and purpose meet.
