“You do not have to be good.
You do not have to walk on your knees
for a hundred miles through the desert, repenting.
You only have to let the soft animal of your body
love what it loves.
Tell me about despair, yours, and I will tell you mine.
Meanwhile the world goes on.
Meanwhile the sun and the clear pebbles of the rain
are moving across the landscapes,
over the prairies and the deep trees,
the mountains and the rivers.
Meanwhile the wild geese, high in the clean blue air,
are heading home again.
Whoever you are, no matter how lonely,
the world offers itself to your imagination,
calls to you like the wild geese, harsh and exciting–
over and over announcing your place
in the family of things.”

- Wild Geese, Mary Oliver

Hello there, I’m Ting Fang.

The past few years as a young adult thrust into the harsh working world have taught me the importance of cultivating an inner practice, daily meditation, and self-compassion. I've observed how, moving through difficult times and feelings of high stress, emotional dissonance and exhaustion, radical acceptance of my feelings and self-compassion (tapping into the safe and sacred heartspace within me) have helped me to stay connected to myself and foster lasting, genuine connections with the people around me.

Nurturing this loving and supportive inner environment and stilling the voice of my harsh inner critic has been a hard-fought journey for me, and one that I’m infinitely thankful to have taken.

To those out there on your own journeys- I applaud you for the beauty and bravery that you are already embodying in this very moment. You are strong beyond belief. And yet life can be tough sometimes.

Feel free to reach out to me if you need a listening ear! I hope I can help you to celebrate yourself despite the tough times and to feel safe and accepted for who you are - for you are truly a unique and intricately layered soul and inherently worthy as a person. : )
