Carmen Teo

Director and Mindfulness Trainer, Mindful Insights

Singapore

Carmen is the founder of Mindful Insights (www.bemindful.sg), a training firm that brings mindfulness and compassion programs to organizations and individuals. She is also an Advisory Board Member for a NGO in Cambodia that provides hospitality education for underprivileged young adults.

She started her mindfulness journey in 2007 in the US, which has supported her through a job burnout, health challenges, and existential crisis and gradually motivated her shift from a 15-year high-flying corporate and consulting career into a mind-body practitioner. She founded Mindful Insights in early 2015 with the intention of empowering people in taking care of their well-being, making choices that represent their deepest-held values and potential, and living meaningful lives filled with joy and compassion. Since 2015, she has delivered mindfulness workshops to thousands, and journeyed with hundreds in longer multi-week mindfulness programs in organizations and educational institutions.

She is professionally trained to deliver evidenced-based programs such as the 8-week Mindfulness-based Stress Reduction (MBSR) and the Mindful Self-Compassion (MSC) curriculums. She is also a certified yoga teacher, a part-time doctoral student and a MBSR Teacher Mentor. She enjoys travelling, being in the nature and attending silent meditation retreats.
