how it started
Started in 2015, Mala and Me was created by sisters Amanda and Sabrina who sought to share a lifestyle with the world. Growing up near the Rocky Mountains and with a family who embodied a closeness to nature, beauty, and spirituality, they knew they were raised with something special that others could benefit from. Through a set vision, a natural sense of team work and the greater good, Mala and Me was built; a gemstone company focused on making a difference in people’s lives. Their natural inclination to help others has laid the foundation for a unique business that does more than just sell jewellery.
how it evolved
In 2017, Jennilee began working for Sabrina and Amanda in their retail spaces and having fun modelling in several of the photoshoots.
In February 2020, they passed the business on to Whitney so they could focus on their personal lives and other passions. Whitney continued to carry the torch through some of the toughest times in retail... the lock-downs. She continued to study massage therapy as well and is now a fully certified massage therapist. She decided to dive deeper into that passion and once again, the company would pass hands.
how it's going now
As of April 2024, I (Jennilee) am now the owner of Mala and Me!
It feels like a full circle moment since I have been part of this brand for so long and have always been passionate about meditation and healing. As the founder of Welcome Om Studio, a meditation, energywork, and breathwork business that is aimed in supporting community to heal and explore our inner landscape, I have used malas and gemstones in my practice for years! I look forward to bringing this wisdom into the brand and having the tools to support others in their own exploration and practices.
I can't wait to get to know you and to discover how gemstones and malas can not only bring beauty into your life but also peace and depth!
In love and gratitude,
Jennilee
