The Story Behind MAY

For seven years, Anna worked in Los Angeles as an executive assistant. She was organized, driven, and the person who kept everything running. But behind the scenes, burnout was building. Her career and long-term relationship no longer felt aligned, and her health began to suffer.

So she started small. She began making her own sunscreen, toothpaste, and everyday products. Each thing she made gave her a little more control when so much of life felt uncertain. She called it MAY: Make Anything Yourself.

Then she called Brandon, her high school sweetheart. After years apart, Anna was searching for a sense of safety, belonging, and home.

That call became the beginning of something neither of us expected.

We were both looking for more purpose and meaning, so we began studying health coaching together, first to find our own way forward, then to help others do the same.

We came to believe that a healthier life isn't built on perfection or quick fixes. It's built through connection, intentional choices, and the small things we do each day to create a life that feels like our own.
