About Us

Emily and Natalie first met in college where they bonded over their passion for theatre. After directing their first play together, a life long friendship was formed and they continued to direct plays and lean into their shared entrepreneurial passion and drive. Throughout college they worked as freelance makeup artists, craftswomen, and designers. After graduating, they set off on a life changing adventure to go travel the world.

While traveling through Nepal, Emily fell in love with the mala bead practice. She was taught by locals how to create the beautiful necklaces and the ancient practice that goes with it. She was so amazed by the process that she left most of her belongings from her suitcase to bring home hundreds of handpicked Nepali mala beads.

Meanwhile, Natalie was exploring Iceland, her last stop after a year of traveling before heading home to the states. Exploring different cultures opened her eyes to the importance of perspective and fueled her to lead a more open-minded, connected, and mindful life.

Natalie and Emily now live in Denver, CO and have combined their mutual passions for living a more mindful, healthy life with the ancient practice of making mala necklaces.
