Why Fenara

Traditional options often feel overly clinical or inaccessible when you are simply trying to make sense of daily life. Fenara gives you room to examine the pressures and hopes shaping your context without requiring a diagnosis or step-by-step agenda, so you can make informed decisions with confidence.

What Fenara means

What Fenara means

Derived from the Latin fenestra, Fenara means window. It represents stepping up to look back into your own life, clearing the fog so you can view your current landscape with fresh perspective and direction.

Founder's note

Portrait of Fenara founder Jing Yi.

Hello there, I’m Jing Yi.

Since high school, I was driven by a persistent sense of injustice. Seeing people reach a breaking point or fall through the cracks always hits deeply because so much of that suffering is preventable. Too many carry heavy, invisible burdens simply because they were never given the language, the space, or the permission to speak up.

Taking a Bachelors in Nursing proved I had the capacity to hold space for others; it also exposed the limits of traditional care. High costs, cultural stigma, and the fear of receiving a diagnosis often keep people waiting till they are in full crisis. I founded Fenara to reach out to people in that grey area long before a quiet struggle turns into a breakdown.

Education and early conversation are our strongest tools. Whether helping a young adult process unseen pressure or supporting women through forgotten struggles like postpartum depression, where many privately wonder if they are ‘losing their minds’, no one should feel ashamed of being human. Vulnerability is not weakness; it is how we stay grounded.

Outside of Fenara, I write “The Undercurrent”, a newsletter to build a community around personal growth, clarity, and the steady reminders we all need to keep moving forward.

At the heart of everything I do is one core belief: the relationship you have with yourself is the longest and most important one in your life. Partners, jobs, and circumstances come and go, but you always remain. Prioritising your mind is not selfish; it is essential.

At Fenara, my team and I offer a non-clinical space to help you connect with your emotions, gain clarity, and navigate life alongside yourself.

Yours sincerely, Jing Yi

Advisory and Research Lead

My role is to bridge science and strategy, ensuring our frameworks are evidence-informed and genuinely helpful to our clients.

I graduated Valedictorian in Biomedical Engineering and am now pursuing my medical degree at Duke-NUS. For me, medicine and mental health share a core principle: prevention.

I joined Fenara because I wanted to use my research background to help build a proactive support system that catches people early.

Remember, you don't need to be broken to seek help.

Mental Wellness Lead

My role is to translate psychological research into practical tools that help people understand their thoughts, behaviors, and emotional patterns. Drawing on my background in psychology research, including trauma studies at NTU, and experience across MHA, SGH, and IMH, I joined Fenara to empower people to live with greater awareness, intention, and self-understanding.

To me, it is not about counting the days you have left, but making your days count.
