At Transform Heartminds, we help illuminate your path to self-discovery by harnessing the transformative impact of trauma-informed mindfulness, compassion, and embodiment practices. Our approach blends ancient wisdom with modern insights, guiding you to unlock your innate wisdom and thrive in today’s world.
In the modern world, do you sometimes:
Feel drained from the pressures of modern life
Struggle with knowing and accepting who you really are
Feel disconnected from your inner wisdom and intuition
Yearn for purpose and to create a positive impact in the world
Desire to heal from emotional pain in a sustainable manner
You’re not alone in this. We all struggle as humans.
We’ve faced dark times too but have been transformed by wise ancient teachings and modern science. Now, we want to share this light with you to keep yours shining.

Transform Heartminds was founded by Carmen Teo, EdD, a dedicated practitioner in wisdom traditions for almost twenty years, and a senior mindfulness teacher in the contemporary mindfulness setting. It has expanded to like-minded practitioners. We are founded on compassion, service, equity, to serve humanity. We believe that each individual can access their innate wisdom and foster genuine kindness, compassion for self, with one another, contributing to a kind, inclusive and peaceful world.
Who we are? Our approach
“Self-compassion was a new concept to me and I was one of those that had to learn it. Each week, the facilitators would introduce new practices and try them out with the class. There were suggested home practices as well. I like that the course gave me many different tools and guiding languages to cultivate self-compassion. It was initially awkward to be kind and gentle to myself, but it got better over time. While it was after all a self-discovery journey, I had also learned much from the facilitators and classmates who had voluntarily shared about their own practice preferences, tips, and struggles during class. Thank you once again for making available this valuable course!”
WHAT THEY’RE SAYING
— MESY LIM, 8-WK MINDFUL SELF-COMPASSION COURSE PARTICIPANT
“Mindfulness training is insightful & truly an eye-opener for me. Carmen, the facilitator, is compassionate and sincere in her desire to share the ‘hows’ of living fruitfully ‘from moment to moment’ in the modern-day world. The frantic pace of the world today ironically disempowered us to the extent that we un-mindfully engulf into ‘auto-pilot mode’ to cope with the demands that each day brings. Mindfulness helps us once again to open the avenue of living our life joyfully - by ‘minding the gaps’ of our expectations & the world at large. The psychology behind the training is well researched and documented. I would like to thank Carmen for her effort and enthusiasm in conducting this workshop.”
