Kiara Pooja Chandru is a Singapore-based entrepreneur, beauty brand founder, and former Project Manager with a background in e-commerce, digital strategy, and innovation. Her journey into entrepreneurship began at the age of 21, when she started selling pre-loved clothing online to fund her university exchange program in the United Kingdom. What began as a necessity quickly revealed her natural talent for sales, branding, and business building. While still a university student, Kiara launched her first e-commerce brand, Peekus Clozette, a plus-size fashion label created to address a gap in Singapore’s fashion market. At a time when inclusive sizing was limited, she built a brand that empowered women to feel confident, seen, and stylish. This early success laid the foundation for her entrepreneurial mindset and long-term vision. After exploring expansion opportunities and pitching an app concept to investors, that chapter didn’t unfold as planned; she made the practical choice to enter corporate life. Kiara transitioned into a seven-year career in project management within the digital and tech industry. During this time, she worked across web development, AI-driven solutions, and digital marketing strategies, collaborating with global clients and cross-functional teams. These years sharpened her expertise in leadership, systems thinking, and business operations skills that would later become instrumental in her own ventures. However, despite her professional growth, corporate life eventually became limiting. The turning point came when Kiara was invited to teach as a guest lecturer for French university students on a learning expedition in Singapore. In this role, she mentored students on building business models, developing app concepts, and applying real-world project management frameworks. That experience became a defining moment. Standing in a position of authority, teaching, guiding, and reflecting, Kiara reconnected with her original entrepreneurial identity. She realised she was no longer meant to build visions for others, but to step into her own again fully. The invitation to teach didn’t just validate her expertise; it gave her clarity, confidence, and conviction. She shed old identities, faced hard questions, and decided to go all in bigger, bolder, and more intentional than ever before. From that decision, KiLeela was born.

Teresa Green grew up in poverty on a council estate, surrounded by crime and violence, which shaped her early belief system. As a teenager, she turned to drugs as a coping mechanism, leading to a relationship with a controlling and abusive man involved in drug trafficking. After six years of addiction and domestic violence, Teresa was arrested and sent to prison. Viewing this as a second chance, she found healing through exercise, learning, art, and energy healing.Upon her release, Teresa began a career in the fitness industry, helping countless individuals transform their lives. After a decade, she sought further growth and moved to Asia, where a near-death experience prompted her to explore holistic healing. Unable to find a diagnosis and wary of medication, she immersed herself in neuroplasticity, energy psychology, and holistic practices, successfully healing herself without medication.This profound experience led Teresa to develop an alchemical blueprint for inner transformation, combining neuroplasticity techniques, energy psychology, and holistic therapies. Her approach works with the mind, heart, and body to rewire limiting beliefs, transmute dense energetic emotions, and visualise a higher state of being. Techniques vary based on client goals and include metaphysical visualisation, affirmations, subconscious mind prompting, reframing, guided meditations, and energy healing using light codes and frequencies.Teresa’s career expanded to include roles as an energy healer, life coach, teacher, and NLP practitioner. She has empowered clients to heal, regain self-worth, and align with their highest selves. Her memoir, “The Long Way Home,” written in real-time during a period of homelessness, documents her journey of overcoming challenges, transforming beliefs, and manifesting a new reality.

Katja has dedicated her life to helping others overcome feelings of disconnection, grief, and not belonging. Through her own experiences of trauma, loss, and profound life challenges, she discovered a renewed sense of purpose in supporting others with compassion, understanding, and hope. Her journey began with volunteering at a local hospice, where she provided comfort and companionship to individuals and families navigating some of life's most difficult moments. This experience deepened her passion for helping others and continues to shape her therapeutic approach today. Katja combines extensive academic training with rich personal experience, allowing her to understand her clients' struggles from multiple perspectives. Drawing from an eclectic, client-centered approach, she creates a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental environment where clients feel genuinely heard, understood, and empowered to heal. During the COVID-19 pandemic, Katja served as the Clinic Coordinator at a respiratory clinic, demonstrating resilience, leadership, and unwavering dedication during an unprecedented time. The loss of her mother to lung fibrosis in 2019 profoundly influenced both her personal and professional journey, inspiring her to write a self-help book for individuals and families caring for loved ones with life-threatening illnesses. In 2021, Katja relocated to Vancouver Island, where she continued serving her community, first working in a funeral home and later as Services Coordinator at a local hospice society. Building upon her experience as a life coach, she completed her counseling therapist degree and established her private practice, Life-in-Motion, where she continues to support individuals navigating grief, trauma, life transitions, anxiety, and emotional disconnection. Katja describes her life as one shaped by loss, disconnection and the feeling of not belonging. Rather than viewing these experiences as obstacles, she carries them with her as reminders of the resilience, compassion, and wisdom they have cultivated. They have become the foundation of her work and her ability to connect deeply with those she serves. Known for her warmth, intuition, and exceptional ability to recognize and respond to her clients' emotional needs, Katja believes healing begins when people feel safe, seen, and accepted. Her goal is to help each person rediscover hope, reconnect with themselves and others, and experience a lasting sense of belonging, resilience, and being deeply loved.

James Cavanagh is a leading neurodiversity consultant, educator, and author, redefining resilience, executive function, and neurodivergent support systems. With over 25 years of lived and professional experience, he has worked across mental health, education, and disability sectors, holding roles as a school counsellor, wellbeing leader, disability support worker, and neuroaffirmative consultant. His approach is deeply rooted in both lived experience with ADHD and anxiety and a lifelong commitment to creating strength-based, neuroaffirmative solutions. As the founder of RAWlife, James developed the RAWSOME™ Framework, RAWsilience™ Model, and BLOOM™ Profiler—a groundbreaking system that maps neurodivergent strengths and growth areas across seven essential RAWSOME™ pillars:   Relationships (RAWlate™) – Building meaningful connections Adaptability (RAWflex™) – Cultivating flexibility and resilience Wellness (RAWnew™) – Supporting mind and body well-being Sensory Processing (RAWvibe™) – Managing and optimizing sensory experiences Organisation (RAWganise™) – Strengthening executive function and time management Mindfulness (RAWmind™) – Enhancing emotional regulation and self-awareness Empowerment RAWARDS™ – Fostering self-advocacy and celebrating achievements   James is also the author of Living with WOW: The Power of Active Resilience, where he introduces Active Resilience Theory (ART)—a revolutionary approach that turns challenges into opportunities for growth. His WOW! Factor framework (Witness, Own, Wonder) empowers individuals to recognize their strengths, take action, and embrace transformation, shifting the narrative around resilience from passive endurance to active, intentional growth. Through the RAWSOME™ Hack Stack, the BLOOM™ Profiler, and the RAWsilience™ Model, James provides practical, gamified strategies for executive function, emotional regulation, and self-efficacy. His work extends into education, mental health, and workplace inclusion, training professionals to integrate neuroaffirmative, strength-based practices into schools, therapy settings, and corporate well-being programs.   By valuing, yet challenging outdated deficit-based models, James is paving the way for a future where neurodivergent strengths are amplified, executive function is supported, and resilience is redefined as a dynamic, action-based process. His work is not just about surviving—it’s about thriving.
