how we began
After a year-long trip around the globe with her husband and two young kids, witnessing both breathtaking beauty and profound hardship, our founder, Daniela Young, returned home with a deeper calling.
As a board-certified genetic counselor, Daniela knew that the science of well-being was powerful but it was often missing in professional fields, especially in the fast-paced professional spaces of the Western world.
She envisioned a world where both purpose and peace could coexist in the workplace and at home, and where personal growth was just as valued as professional development.
The Ōnda Collective was soon born as an inspiring, science-backed educational platform and community for growth and well-being.
“We believe that when you choose your well-being, you don’t just recharge. You reconnect with yourself. You rise. And from this place of authenticity, you become an unstoppable agent of positive change.
We envision a world-wide ripple effect sparked by each person living fully and authentically. When your gifts flow unobstructed, they uplift everything and everyone around you, creating a cascade of human flourishing and a more vibrant world.
This transformation awaits. And there’s no more important time than now.”
