Where WilnMay comes from
I created WilnMay in honor of two women who shaped everything I am. My grandmother Wilhel, who carried so much potential that the world never fully got to see. Her story was left unfinished and that has stayed with me my whole life.
And my mother May May, who was pure, radiant joy. She had a laugh that could fill any room and make you feel like everything was going to be okay.
"She was always searching, always yearning to live fully and authentically. That same energy lives in every WilnMay experience."
I am also a certified Integrative Nutrition Health Coach, and that training deepened my understanding that wellness is not just physical. It is emotional, relational, and deeply personal. WilnMay brings all of that together.
What started as a personal tribute grew into something far bigger. Women of color began showing up, finding each other, and building something real. That is what WilnMay is today.
