Jenny Y. N. Chan

Jenny is especially known for her ability to make complex psychological concepts clear and relatable, and to guide others in applying mindfulness to everyday challenges, deepening emotional understanding, fostering resilience and healing, and cultivating healthy relationships. Her teaching style is widely described as inspiring, experiential, and impactful, and her voice both in guiding practice and in singing is often described as a source of comfort and healing.

 

Since 2009, Jenny has integrated mindfulness into both clinical and community-based settings. Her early work with children evolved into the development of therapeutic group interventions for individuals with complex trauma. Over the years, she has delivered mindfulness training across Hong Kong, Mainland China, Singapore, Japan, and Vietnam, and has been invited by hospitals, universities, NGOs, corporations, and media to share her insights and expertise. She also created and hosted the RTHK radio program “Etudes of the Heart”, which was honored with a New York Festivals Radio Award for its meaningful and accessible approach to mindfulness.

​

Drawing on her extensive clinical and training experience, Jenny developed a new mindfulness training approach called Mindful Heart Mindful Living (MHML). This model goes beyond conventional mindfulness programs that focus on stress reduction or cognitive change. MHML emphasizes the cultivation of wisdom through the practice of “right” mindfulness, grounded in compassion and pure intention. This approach supports lasting change by helping individuals embrace the art of living, while also cultivating insights through deeper connection with oneself, others, and nature. Under this model, she created both an 8-session MHML Program and an 8-session Mindful Attachment-based Parenting (MAP) Program.

​

To realize her aspiration to make the benefits of psychology and mindfulness more accessible, Jenny devotes her work across multiple domains:

 

• Clinically, she designs effective treatment and training protocols tailored to the needs of different populations.

• Professionally, she offers training to healthcare, social work, and education professionals to foster self-care and resilience in high-demand settings.

• Socially, she provides community services to those who are deprived or in need, including underprivileged children, marginalized youth, and individuals living with mental or chronic illnesses.

• Organisationally, she draws on her management and executive education experience, including her roles with corporations such as AT&T and Hong Kong Telecom, and her work with the business schools at Kellogg and HKUST, to support mindful leadership and organisational wellbeing.

 

Beyond her clinical and teaching practice, Jenny is an artist at heart, passionate about watercolor painting, songwriting, and creative writing. In recent years, she has been developing a new direction: “Psychology × Mindfulness × Art of Living”, weaving together her expertise in psychological healing, the wisdom of mindful living, and the expressive power of the arts. Through her books, stories, music, and courses, she inspires people to nurture their body and mind, reconnect with their true self, build healthy relationships, find healing, and bring peace, clarity and beauty into everyday life.
