The Journey
As crazy as it sounds life is a beautiful journey and Mai Ka (MK) believe we all can learn, grow, and share a bit of wisdom with one another.
From passion to business here is where it all begin!

In MK’s early elementary school years one of her teacher gathered MK and her friends to start a Hmong dance group to showcase the arts of the Hmong and its culture. When MK heard of this opportunity she jumped on the dancing train with full commitment. However, after a few performances, everyone went their separate ways and MK moved school. From there on she went on to explore different art mediums.
In 201l, in one of MK’s after-school programs she had the opportunity to joined their worship team as a vocalist. There, she explore the musical sounds and it’s connection with the universe. Unfortunately, during this time, MK’s mental health took a toll on her and she lost her voice.
Over a course of many years, MK’s mental health issue built up and she strayed away from everything she once had a passion in. This, lead her to connect with nature.
In 2014 MK started my photography journey as a way to capture physical evidence of her happy times. Something she can look back to for enjoyment and peace.
Through photography she discover ways of communicating with the world. In 2016 she took a leap of faith and shared her work with a small group of audience as everest_mk. In 2021, after MK started her reflection journey, MK took this passion a step further and founded Only We Know Photography by Mai Ka Yang (MK). On October 2023, She decided to merge her work of photography with coaching and healing.
In 2019 MK had the opportunity to travel overseas. There, she reconnected with herself and started her reflection journey. Also, there, she had a life changing moment and it inspired her to act on her dreams. One of them being the work of Lenses & Perspectives.
On June of 2020, MK founded Lenses & Perspectives. Lenses & Perspectives went from being a humble and sacred space of hers to a now in the making home and upcoming organization for orphans and those in need of a safe home to go to.
For more about Lenses & Perspectives, it’s upcoming work check us out here.
From losing MK’s voice to losing herself and from finding her voice to finding herself, on July of 2021 MK discovered my shamanic calling. As she continued writing the Reflection Journey chapter to her Self Healing journey of 3 years, on December 14, 2022, she became a certified Life Coach on a mission to assist others on their self healing journey.
Fun fact: Life coaching has been something MK had done over the years before she realized what a life coach actually does.
In 2023 MK officially added sound healing and reiki healing to her serves with the goal to further promote self healing especially when it comes to restoring the vibrational frequencies of their energy.
Expanding her work forward, MK now integrate everything she know and everything she is learning to better contribute to the healing journey and life of others, extending to the amazing contribution Lenses & Perspectives will be offering to the communities around us, once it launch.
