More About Our CEO

Born in Virginia and raised on the beautiful island of Oahu in Hawaii, I developed a love for health and wellness at a young age, thanks to my mother's influence as a health enthusiast, bodybuilder, marathon runner, and yoga instructor. 

In 2012, my younger sister began her loc journey. Though filled with views and beautiful people, Hawaii lacks in black hair care (stylists, products, etc). Seeing my sister struggle to find a loctician and holistic products inspired me to provide the natural hair community with just that. 

The same year, I began working at my first job, cooking pizza in a childrens arcade. Though the position wasnt glamorous, working in the kitchen intrigued me enough to pursue a hospitality management degree. Later, I would find myself working as a server, cook, bartender and bar manager at various restaurants including white table cloth, upscale dining and mom and pop shop diners. All while taking cooking and food handlers courses at my local community college. It was during this time that I learned about the science of food, flavor profiling and how to safely handle kitchen tools, setting the tone for my passion in the kitchen. During the same time, I transitioned into a plant based lifestyle, forcing myself to be creative with meals, as to get the proper nutrition from a then, newly found diet. 

In 2022, I turned to meditation and yoga to overcome feelings of stress and burnout. My love for yoga deepened, leading me to complete a 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training in April 2024, followed by a 100-hour meditation certification in June 2024.

Drawing from my diverse experiences in yoga, wellness, child care, and hair care, I created True Balance—a brand that reflects my belief in the transformative power of love, well-being, and personal growth. I look forward to sharing my expertise and positive energy with you on your unique journey towards balance and fullfillment!
