It didn’t start with a business plan, it started with a body that couldn’t keep up.

For years, I struggled with coffee, energy drinks, and anything overly caffeinated. They left me feeling overstimulated, anxious, and completely out of sync with my body and brain. Between navigating hormonal imbalances and neurodivergence, I was searching for something that could energize me without throwing me off balance.

Then I discovered matcha.

From the first sip, something shifted. I felt calm, clear, and fully in my body, like I could finally focus while experiencing an incredible dopamine hit. That one cup quickly became a daily ritual. A moment of presence. A way to begin the day with intention, not urgency.

I started making my own at home, dialing in a recipe that was low in sugar, gentle on my hormones, and supportive of my nervous system. It wasn’t just about a drink anymore. It was about how I wanted to feel in the morning: grounded, energized, and whole.

After 8 years in the fast-paced corporate world, I took a moment to pause. This was an opportunity where I finally made the time and space for something I’d always felt deep down I was meant to build. A community that helps people come back to themselves.
