OUR FOUNDER’S STORY
Fifteen years in global fashion. A medical emergency that stopped everything. A way back to herself through ordinary moments, and the science that explained why they worked. She went looking for a place that understood this. It didn't exist. So she built it.
MEET THE FOUNDER
Jacqueline spent fifteen years as in fashion, and became fascinated by something most people feel but rarely name: beauty and design don't just look good. They change how you feel, in your body, before your brainA catches up.
Work moved her around, Sydney, New York, San Diego, Melbourne. Wherever she landed, the first thing she did was find her people and build community. In New York that looked like parties in the city and group trips out of it. Music, lights, good food, an open door to whoever wanted to come. Strangers dancing next to each other.
What she noticed every time was what happened when you designed the conditions for joy and then got out of the way. People arrived a bit closed. They left noticeably lighter. She didn't have the science for it yet. She just knew it worked.
What she didn't see was that she was doing all of it while quietly running on empty. Good at momentum. Good at holding it together. Her life looked great. But she was drained. High functioning, low feeling.
Then everything stopped. A medical emergency overseas. Hospitalisation. A medical evacuation. Surgeries. A recovery that left her unrecognisable to herself. It was dark, and it was isolating, and she didn't know how to find her way back.
And then something unexpected started happening. Not through a plan. Not through a protocol. Through moments. Her daughter playing on the living room floor. Cool air on her skin first thing in the morning. A conversation that, for a second, made her feel like herself again. None of it was remarkable. But something in her body was responding. Real, physical, undeniable.
She went down a research rabbit hole trying to understand it. What she found confirmed what she'd already felt: joy, awe and gratitude are trainable, measurable physiological states that actively counteract the chronic stress most of us are quietly running on.
So she went looking for a place that understood this. Grounded, beautifully designed, evidence-based, built for the time-poor woman running on empty. It didn't exist. So she built it.
