Love, as your middle name.

Come home to yourself.

MiddleNameLove

Heart shape with Chinese characters, divided into red and white sections.

Let’s take a deep breath and connect with our hearts.

Hi, I’m Yue, the heart behind MiddleNameLove.

Life can feel chaotic, but you can foster practices to feel steady and grounded like a mountain.

After profound life changes, I left my career in finance to step into my truth. Through Meditation, Qigong, and Calligraphy, I reconnected with my ancestors, embraced my heritage, and surrendered to the grace of Nature. 

From this journey, I created MiddleNameLove. 

MiddleNameLove is a sanctuary for self-love, creativity, and soulful connection. Through meditation, calligraphy, and cultural traditions, I share practices and facilitate experiences that help you reconnect with your true essence, embrace beauty in everyday rituals, and find belonging in a like-hearted community.

“Hello dear Yue. Grateful for the teachings of your art, Chinese calligraphy, which you shared with us on that wonderful morning. I have enjoyed your lessons; with every stroke I make, I feel serenity in my heart and inner joy. 🥰 A big hug!”

“Yue Xiao is more than an artist—she is a healer, a guide, and a sister to my heart. Her Chinese calligraphy is a meditation in motion, each stroke infused with wisdom and love. Through her art and presence, she invites us to connect, reflect, and embrace the beauty of life.”

“I never fully understood the power of meditation until I met Yue. She helped me realize its power and gave me the moral support to make it a lasting practice. Her wisdom and encouragement kept me grounded, even when I struggled to stay consistent.

What sets Yue apart is her rare blend of intellect and compassion. She understands that true wealth isn’t just financial—it’s about inner peace, purpose, and connection. Thanks to her, I’ve not only embraced meditation but also gained a deeper perspective on living a meaningful life.

I’m grateful for her guidance and the space she’s created through Middle Name Love. Yue is a true inspiration.”

“Yue has a gift for sharing herself fully, whether through poetry, art, or even through virtual interaction. I am so grateful to receive and witness all these gifts and more in her latest undertaking – the “Love Letter” from Middle Name Love! Yue has brought her beautiful, expansive heart, her artistic gifts and an awesome capacity to create and nurture community in these gorgeous, unusual missives. Long enough to be meaningful, substantial; and succinct enough to enjoy in a single sitting, Love Letter is a treat that I look forward to receiving each month!”

“Thank you Yue for your Love Letters updating about your reflections, art and poetry. I watched some of your videos showcasing your poetry and loved them. Looking forward to a movie of your words flowing across the landscapes and seascapes of California. 

Listened to your singing this morning while drinking my morning cup of coffee - I was amazed by your voice. It was so clear and true. There is a line in an Earth Wind and Fire song that says "Sounds, they never dissipate, they only recreate to another place and time."  those lyrics came to mind when I heard you sing. Keep using your voice and let it reverberate across the world. Looking forward to hearing the sincerity, strength and beauty of your voice again.”
