"I built Ruang so you wouldn't have to leave parts of yourself at the door."
Hi, I’m Alexa. I created Ruang because as a Malaysian immigrant woman in Sydney, I knew how exhausting it was to sit in clinical rooms where you constantly have to translate your culture, justify family expectations, or hide your faith.
My background brings together over a decade of pastoral care, rigorous clinical training at Western Sydney University in EMDR and complex trauma, and 2.5 years at Apple where I learned the profound power of genuine human empathy and friction-free communication.
As an active foster mum and former frontline residential youth worker at AMONDOS and Creating Links, I also know what it feels like to hold heavy stories alongside everyday family life. Ruang is a room built for all of it.
