Wenlin Tan is an experienced productivity, creativity and mindfulness coach and women's moving meditation specialist from Singapore who is passionate in empowering women changemakers and creatives to overcome perfectionism, procrastination, overthinking and self-doubt and cultivate clarity, confidence and flow in their career, health and personal life. She brings with her more than 15 years of experience working at the intersection of mindfulness, creativity, psychology, and wellness supporting clients globally.
Through transformative tools like behavioural health coaching, motivational interviewing, holistic modalities like the Five Elements & the Creative Cycle framework and ancient wisdom practices of Qigong, Taichi, Traditional Chinese Medicine philosophy, Aqua Yoga, and Tai Chi Easy™, Wenlin supports you to overcome obstacles such as overthinking and perfectionism to step into your creative power in your career, health and personal life.
Prior to coaching, Wenlin worked for seven years in Healthcare market research, and was also a successful freelance illustrator and artist. Throughout her life, she has been labelled based on her diverse pursuits - from healthcare market research to art, illustration, performance, fiction, poetry, photography, and teaching yoga, Qigong, and mindfulness. It has been challenging for her to define herself amidst these varied roles. Each endeavour was pursued not with the intention of becoming something specific, but rather as a response to the creative impulse guiding her moment by moment.
Seeking guidance and illumination, she embarked on a journey of exploration and learning, studying with numerous teachers. Within the Creative Cycle and the Five Elements, she found her guiding light and inner compass, which lies at the heart of her approach. Based on this, Wenlin developed a unique holistic coaching approach, the Creative Cycle framework, to empower changemakers and creatives like you to overcome perfectionism, procrastination, overthinking and self-doubt to step into your true power and leave lasting impact on the world.
For Wenlin, her work is her passion and purpose, and her way of actively contributing to a better world, where courage, boldness, and passion define our existence. A world where, inspired and inspiring, we bravely translate inner growth into outward action, challenging norms, reinventing ourselves, and embracing growth at any cost. This, she believes, is humanity's true destiny and the essence of a fulfilling life.
Wenlin has led retreats and conducted workshops for high-profile clients including The Westin Maldives, The Life Co. Detox retreats Bodrum & festivals like OffGrid Sessions UK. She was also an expert speaker at the Qigong Global Summit 2023.
Outside of work, Wenlin loves studying flow through sculling with the Cerea rowing club along river Po, engaging in deep talk with friends and strangers and exploring new coffee shops and tea houses in Turin, Italy, where she lives with her husband Luca and their dog Didi.
