About Us
We envisioned a world where seeking wellbeing support is free from friction or stigma; a world where differences are respected and understood. Through calm, welcoming spaces and accessibile personalized healing, we hope to help ease mental struggles and support the transition of humankind into their fullest expressions.
The world is changing fast, Artificial Intelligence is here to stay. In the coming years, there will be fewer traditional jobs in the market, and more opportunities for creators, innovators, and people who follow their own path.
The How
Human-centered,
self-mastery healing
To break free from the pain body: the traumas we’ve lived through and the ones we’ve inherited, we must first truly understand ourselves. From self-awareness comes clarity, strength, and the empowerment to choose differently. Our approach is the path of self-actualization: rising into our highest self, aligning individuals with the frequency where healing, expansion, and transformation unfold. Many spend their whole lives seeking answers outside, but the power has always been within. It’s now time for the collective to turn inward.
As within, so without. As above, so below.
As children, we offer love freely until neglect or rejection teaches us to pull back and protect ourselves. That fear takes over, and we start to believe that selfishness is the way to survive.
Restoring our capacity for love, both toward oneself and others, is key to healing the deep psychological wounds at the root of human struggles. It is the ultimate solution to break the cycles of harm.

The Why
With a background in psychology and over five years leading a creative agency, Alara’s work put her in conversation with people from all ages and backgrounds, and she noticed a pattern: while mental health is talked about more than ever, the conversations often stay on the surface.
It’s not that we don’t care about each other, the space just isn’t always there.
In Malaysia, only about 20% of people with mental disorder received professional treatment. Globally, the figures vary: 52.1% in the United States, around 47% in the United Kingdom, 7-16% in Korea, and 15% in the People’s Republic of China. These figures tell us that many people are struggling in silence, for reasons such as societal stigma, high cost, or lack of resources.
There is no doubt that this a major public health crisis, because untreated mental health issues ripple into families, workplaces, and society at large. It presented to us a huge demand and responsibility to build better systems, safer spaces, and more accessible support.
We bring forth our commitment to mental health through The Present — a community-based sanctuary where everyone belongs and thrives. Healing doesn’t only happen in clinics or through diagnoses, it lives in everyday moments. In conversation, in self-reflection, in acceptance. It’s not one-size-fits-all, and it shouldn’t be limited by race, religion, or background. That is the ____ we are realizing through The Present — a community-based sanctuary where everyone belongs and thrives. The mission is clear: reinventing mental healthcare as a lifestyle, and transforming mindsets from external dependence to inner sovereignty.

The Journey
The start of a
new era
Founded in September 2025, The Present is a long-awaited movement for the betterment of humanity. This is just the beginning, as we work to revolutionize old support systems built on labels and external interventions. New approach could bring forth resistance, but we have the passion and conviction to make this a reality, all because we are determined to put an end to the false narrative of learned helplessness.
It’s a humble beginning, and we are glad that you are here early. We call upon every one of you who resonates with our mission, our co-creators of the new Earth, our awakeners: you and I could make The Present come to life.
Together, through unity and connection, we set our hearts to bring The Present to where you are in the fastest way possible.
The Present is that in-between place.
A quiet, open space to feel without pressure.
To talk, or not talk. To work, rest, or cry if you need to.
To be alone, but not lonely.
To share a moment with a stranger, or just with yourself.
Where do you go when you’re not okay?
The present could be an answer.
