About Ms. Chi Nguyen
Ms. Chi Nguyen is the Founder and Director of MindFitness Education and Training Company.
In 2017, Ms. Chi read the book Search Inside Yourself, in which author Chade-Meng Tan talked about his experience of promoting mindfulness and emotional intelligence in Google, helping employees work more efficiently, develop leadership capacity, and build better relationships. Highly impressed with the book, Ms. Chi began studying and practicing mindfulness and Social-Emotional Learning to cope with stress and also to better connect with her children. This milestone has opened a new door and can be called "life changing" for her.
After 11 years of working in Finance in the United States, Singapore and Vietnam, Ms. Chi recognizes the importance of mindfulness and emotional intelligence in coping with life stressors, and an important skill to lead a successful and happy life. So why don't we teach children these skills so that they are better equipped for life? Motivated by this question, in 2017 she switched career to specialize in mindfulness and emotional education, and began her journey to share mindfulness with children and their caregivers.
Ms. Chi is the first Vietnamese mindfulness instructor to be certified by Mindful Schools, a US-based organization that has trained instructors from more than 100 countries around the world. She approaches mindfulness from a life skill perspective, based on scientific research, supporting learners in improving concentration power, managing emotions, and building a growth mindset.
She has shared mindfulness as an instructor as well as guest speaker at different organizations such as the International School of Saigon Pearl ISSP, Kites’ Home Kindergarten, IEG Global, Yoga Planet, Prudential… In addition, Ms. Chi is an Advisory Board member of The OIS Schools, which implements the Oxford International Program with Wellbeing component, helping students achieve the holistic development of physical and mental health.
Currently Ms. Chi Nguyen is pursuing a Master of Science degree in Pyschology & Neuroscience of Mental Health at King's College London, a Top 2 faculty in the World for Psychology & Psychiatry (US News, Best Global Universities 2024).
