About Claudia & Amanda
During our own healing and self-care journeys, we were fortunate to meet at a women's circle in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Now, after years of friendship and working together on wellness projects, we've created this Self-Care Challenge... for YOU!
To give you effective tools and experiences that will transform the way you care for yourself. Just as we have.
