Our Story
Meet the creatives behind MindTerra
Growing up as girls in an Asian household, we were taught that being a good daughter meant being selfless and obediently doing as we were told. Toffy was admonished for her inability to sit still and be “ladylike,” while Fair’s family never really supported her playing soccer or basketball. It wasn’t until we left home and began to find ourselves in college and beyond, that the subconscious desire to support women and help them thrive was born.
In the early days of Covid-19, we simply wanted to create a space of connection during an otherwise isolating time, and we convened through our online events. As we continued to hold space, we noticed that most, if not all, of our attendees, were women and that our work made women like us feel safe, seen, and heard. We realized there was the potential to create a community specifically to support women’s growth, pursuits, and endeavors. And that’s what we’re here to do.
With Toffy’s background in education, programs, and yoga, and Fair’s experience in healthcare, education, and entrepreneurship, we set out on the journey to create meaningful, impactful spaces to help women nurture, discover, and live their most authentic selves.

Smile Space is an online initiative based in Thailand to bring awareness to how our words impact our emotions.
“Amplifi Design worked with [MindTerra] to prototype, test, and iterate a concept with real participants that dealt with vulnerable emotions and behaviors. Not only were [MindTerra] incredible at facilitating the intimate, connected, environment that was needed for the workshops, they were also personable and creative in the debriefs. I was impressed by their ability to lead the workshops while also keenly observing insights into participant behavior that helped new ideas to emerge during the post-workshop brainstorming.”

Zenit is a radical wellness company with the mission to make wellness accessible to everyone. They make custom journals that empower you to take care of your mental health, well-being, and healing daily.
Journaling can change our lives, but with a blank page, we often don’t know where to start. Plus, wellness is a personal journey, unique to each individual. That’s why we let you choose the prompts that go in your personalized journal. A Zenit Journal that asks you the exact right questions makes journaling easier and more effective for your wellness journey. Zenit is founded and led by Alina Liao, proud daughter of immigrants and DC resident. Her vision is a world where everyone has equal opportunity to be healthy and happy.
Your Change Provider (YCP) promotes authentic self-care, good mental health and holistic wellness for corporate, community, and colleges for optimal sustainability and happiness.
Jeanie helps us ensure that our programs, particularly our Wellness Writing programs, are appropriate and in line with best practices so we can encourage awareness, mindfulness, and mental wellness in our sessions effectively. She also supports us in providing helpful resources and guides us in how to best respond and support our community.
