Meet the founders

Ann was born in a small town of Thailand to a long line of herbal medicine practitioners. Her family grew herbs, plants, and trees for various medicinal purposes. In preventive medicine, the harvests are used directly in cooking or cleaning. For curative medicine, the required parts of the plants are extracted to be used in topical, oral, or aromatherapeutic treatments.

Meet the founders

Mark is the second generation of Greek American. His grandparents emigrated from Mytilene, a capital city of Lesbos Island, before settling in New York City. Raised by his Greek grandparents, Mark was exposed to the ancient Greek home remedies for good health and healing at a young age, especially to help with his severe allergies and anxiety.

Our Inspiration for Positivity

As a family unit, Ann and Mark raise their three children with a goal of creating a whole child, where emotional, physical, intelligent and spiritual well beings are all put in to considerations. And they learned that the best way to parenting and raising a whole child is to do it with positive & mindful intentions.

As a result, Vibrational Energy Candles were created to support the brain functions. 

And as they light up each candle for each activity, Ann and Mark put in mindful intentions to create a welcoming atmosphere for their home. And the result is big joyful feelings and positive mindsets for everyone. 

It is at this point that they realized that "A little ACT of lighting up a candle can create a big Positive Joyful Effects in Life."
