I'm Amy Chien-Yu Wang, a "Heart Alchemist," and also a theatre playwright, director, actor, and seasoned multimedia bilingual journalist.

My life journey has been a profound transformation from confusion, lack of self-worth, self-doubt, insecurities, and people-pleasing tendencies to courage, creativity, spiritual growth, and reclaiming my power.

This journey now serves as the foundation for guiding others to rewrite their life's script.

Years ago, as a newlywed with a fledgling journalism career in Sydney, I chose love and family, moving back to Meanjin/Brisbane to reunite with my husband.

After becoming a mother of two, I found myself deeply lost, grappling with the clash of Chinese and Western cultures and the traditional Eastern expectations placed on women, mothers, and wives.

No wonder I ended up suffering from eight years of postpartum depression! This prolonged period of deep low was rooted in the pressures of parenting, intergenerational trauma within my family, and the traditional Eastern cultural expectations placed on women and mothers.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, my life hit rock bottom; there were times I nearly lost my desire to live, burdened by living other people's expectations rather than my own truth. The demands of parenting and constant deadlines completely consumed me, leading to burnout and anxiety. Facing a midlife crisis, I felt my life was defined by a pervasive sense of stagnation and pessimism. Yet, paradoxically, I also sensed that I held untapped hidden potential within that I didn't know how to access.

As a Generation 1.5 Asian migrant mother burdened by family responsibilities and traditional expectations, coupled with my indecisiveness, I felt constrained by so many limitations. Why was I so insecure and indecisive? Because I didn't believe in myself, my potential, or my truth. How could I break through that timid little self, so fearful and feeling so inadequate about everything?

At the crossroads of giving up and seeking change, I chose to find my truth, strengthen my inner core, and listen to the deepest longings of my heart—dreams I'd never dared to pursue.

Mindfulness, meditation, spiritual growth, art, and theatre completely transformed me. I decided to take a bold leap, leaving behind a nearly two-decade-long career as a senior journalist. I embraced a non-traditional approach to theatre, writing, directing, and producing my debut bilingual stage play AI May, which opened a brand new chapter in my life.

In just a few years, I transitioned from a novice to a budding playwright-director, creating a deeply moving story exploring intergenerational trauma, and earning several theatre award nominations.

I discovered that when I connect with the authentic power within, I can unleash unprecedented potential and creativity, achieve goals with greater efficiency and clarity, whilst experiencing deeper fulfilment in every aspect of life.

I finally rose from the ashes, evolving into a more powerful, confident, joyful, radiant, courageous, and daring creative version of myself!

This journey of exploration, healing, and rediscovering myself—finding courage and embracing imagination and creativity—has made me realise that everyone carries within them the immense potential to rewrite their life's script.

As a teaching artist and professional storyteller, I integrate my past experience of guiding youth leaders through personal transformation to reach their potential with my discoveries in storytelling, mindfulness, theatre, and creative expression.

My mission is to guide all dreaming and still hesitant "hidden creatives" to break through inner blockages, unleash their true potential, and live a vibrant life uniquely their own, all through the power of shifting limiting beliefs and mindset blockages. I firmly believe that stories not only heal hearts but also serve as powerful tools for transforming lives and leaving an everlasting legacy.

I look forward to alchemising your heart, building your dreams, living your truth, and realising your limitless possibilities as your heart alchemist cheerleader!
