Dean and Juliana met while serving in the Singapore Police Force. Together, they embarked on the first Gerontology program in Singapore more than a decade ago. Thereafter, Dean continued her research in areas such as nutrition, sleep and movement while Juliana pursued her interest in flow, cognition and emotions. Even though their interests are significantly varied, they realised that their interests are also very much complementary. Their experience serving palliative care patients together since 2016 has given them much insights about life. In 2017, they co-founded The Facilitators' Project which runs empowerment programs for abused and neglected children and women in shelters. In 2018, they officially registered The Affirmative People so as to provide their clients with a more holistic, integrated support.
