We believe that MindTerra found us when we least expected it. We’ve always been passionate about the mental health and self-care space, but all our ideas in the past were just that - ideas that lived on paper and never grew any legs.
In the early days of Covid-19, we simply wanted to create a space of connection during an otherwise isolating time, and we chose convene friends through writing. As lifelong journalers and writers ourselves, we slowly realized that expressive writing in a safe, collective setting made people feel heard and seen, and had a positive impact on their mental well-being, and wanted to extend the space to anyone who could benefit from it. With Toffy’s background in education and crafting programs, and Fair’s experience in the healthcare industry, we set out on the journey to create meaningful, impactful programs to help our community nurture and discover their true selves through writing.

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.
