Background
Nina’s second son, Alexander, 6 years old, and husband, Joseph, are autistic and high functioning. Nina is a driven woman who has multiple talents. She used to teach applied linguistics, communication skills, writing and, critical thinking at a university. She is currently studying digital communication/marketing in a business school. Nina is a natural empath. She is highly sensitive to people’s feelings and emotions. Nina needs more support to parent her son with her special needs husband. She would like the circle to help her nurture her emotional resilience and vitality. They live near Central-North of Singapore. One of the circle volunteers have gone as far as having a one to one session of mindfulness practise with Nina at fort canning park. Nina found that session extremely useful and fulfilling for her psychological and spiritual needs. Due to the immense stresses of caregiving, studying and being a wife, she yearns for time for self-care and a safe space to be listened to without judgement.
