We are Mei Theng (HER2-positive breast cancer survivor) and Minami (cancer caregiver). We are mental health responders who have experienced improved mental health from our practice of self-compassionate yarn craft movement. Together we started My Soul Stitching as aspiring social enterprise in May 2021, just a month after Mei Theng had completed her breast cancer treatment.

The concept of self-compassionate yarn craft movement is the brainchild of Mei Theng to combine yarn crafts with a suitable volunteer project to stimulate the three elements of self-compassion, which are mindfulness, self-kindness and common humanity, to improve mental health. At My Soul Stitching, as our main aim is to support the breast cancer community, we have adopted a volunteer project to make knitted knockers, aka yarn crafted breast prosthesis, for donation to breast cancer patients in Malaysia who have undergone a breast surgery due to cancer. To date, we have donated more than 20 pairs of knitted knockers to those who need them.
