In his early years, Vincent faced challenges that many would consider a "privileged" upbringing. Behind the perceived successes of a good education, a law career, and working at prestigious firms, he struggled with long-term mental health issues like insomnia and depression. However, a transformative encounter with Huashan Qigong, a Chinese breathing technique, ignited his passion for holistic wellness and set him on a path to help others.

Coaching and Therapy Expertise:
Driven by a desire to support his peers, Vincent embarked on an extensive educational journey. He obtained advanced diplomas in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Educational Psychology, became a Certified Hypnotherapist and Trainer, and mastered Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) as a certified Coach and Strategic Intervention specialist. Additionally, he conducted research in humanistic psychology, positive psychology, Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT), and Mindset Coaching.

Founding Mind Matters Academy:
With a deep understanding of the interconnectedness of physical and mental health, Vincent founded Mind Matters Academy. The academy's mission is to offer comprehensive training programs that synchronously improve the well-being of its students. Vincent's belief is that by equipping individuals with a range of evidence-based coaching, therapy, and mindfulness techniques, they can unlock their full potential and continue to support those around them.

Holistic Wellness Approach:
At the heart of Mind Matters Academy's ethos are the core values of Healing, Empowerment, Authenticity, and Resilience (HEAR). By fostering these principles, the academy aims to guide its students on a transformative journey towards holistic wellness, where physical, mental, and emotional well-being are harmoniously cultivated.

Community Engagement:
Mind Matters Academy extends its impact beyond its students by supporting local organizations like the Food Link Foundation and the Samaritans. By donating a portion of its proceeds to these initiatives, the academy embodies the spirit of "self-help and help others," providing food and hope for those in need.
