She is the youngest of three siblings, raised between two contrasting yet complementary worlds. Her mother, from a village near the forest, lived in harmony with nature—using wild plants as medicine, embracing seasonal foods, and preserving health through traditional practices. This lifestyle nurtured vitality; her grandmother lived to 102 without relying on chemical medication.

Meanwhile, her father’s city-based family led a modern lifestyle filled with fast food and convenience, resulting in chronic illnesses like cancer, diabetes, and heart and kidney disease. The fast-paced, stressful environment and reliance on processed foods eroded their well-being. Her father eventually passed away from liver and kidney failure, despite a transplant. This stark contrast led her to believe that health is, in many ways, a choice—guided by knowledge and intention.

Inspired by her mother’s quiet strength, she delved into holistic health. With a background in Psychology, she deepened her understanding of the mind-body connection. Her journey expanded through mindfulness, and traditional healing practices like herbalism and fermentation—shaping her unique approach to well-being.

To her, health is not just the absence of illness but a balance of mindset, lifestyle, and a respectful connection with nature. She believes everyone holds the potential to live well—when equipped with the right tools and support. This belief fuels her desire to share what she’s learned and walk alongside others in their pursuit of a healthier, more meaningful life.

The paradox is clear: to continue exploring, he needs his body to remain healthy and resilient.
