Khairini is the founder of myWIPhealing, a community platform built on the belief that healing is a journey, not a destination. WIP stands for “We Are All Works In Progress.” Her mission is to make mental health recovery accessible, engaging, and deeply human.
Her journey began with the conviction that healing should not feel lonely or clinical — it should be creative, compassionate, and connected. Through myWIPhealing, she creates spaces where people can show up as they are, express themselves through art and creative expression, and find strength in community.
With a background in public relations, project management, and art therapy in community intervention, Khairini brings a blend of structure and empathy to her work. Every initiative under myWIPhealing is designed not only to run effectively but to make a real difference in people’s lives.
At the heart of her work lies the idea of progress over perfection. Healing is not linear, it is messy, beautiful, and ongoing. Through art therapy workshops, community outreach, and creative programmes, Khairini encourages people to embrace their vulnerabilities and celebrate growth in all its forms. She reminds others, and herself, that being a “work in progress” is something to empower and embrace.
Making an impact means turning awareness into action and compassion into community. I dream of a Malaysia where mental well-being is a shared responsibility, and where compassion and accessibility are part of everyday life. When someone tells me that myWIPhealing has helped them feel seen or supported, it reminds me that real change begins with empathy and shared humanity.
