Our reason to exist…
At Feelbright Kids, we believe every child deserves to grow up healthy, confident and resilient. Today, many parents are watching childhood chronic conditions, anxiety, and behavioral struggles rise in alarming rates. They want to teach their children about health and self-care early, yet often feel stuck trying to explain these big ideas in ways their kids will actually care and enjoy.
Children deserve a better start in their health journey
40% of school aged children live with a chronic health condition (asthma, obesity, diabetes, learning difficulties)
Anxiety is twice as common in children with chronic conditions compared to their peers, making routines and home treatments harder to follow and understand

“Why did you start FeelBright Kids?”
Because this mission is deeply personal. As a mom, I watched my son struggle with allergies and asthma from infancy. Trying to explain his health in a way that didn’t scare him felt impossible. His frustration often turned into fear and behavioral challenges. I wanted to help him feel strong, not stressed.
“Have you experienced this yourself?”
Yes. At 14, I was diagnosed with prediabetes and high cholesterol. I didn’t understand how my choices affected my body, and making lifestyle changes as a teen felt overwhelming. I remember thinking, If only someone had explained this to me earlier and how it mattered.
“What do you hope FeelBright Kids will do for families?”
I created FeelBright Kids to turn daily health routines into playful adventures stories, activities, and tools that help children build resilience, confidence, and lifelong healthy habits. My goal is to give parents peace of mind and help kids feel empowered, not afraid.
“What’s your bigger vision?”
We’re not just making products. We’re nurturing a generation of mindful, confident kids who understand their bodies, outgrow chronic challenges, and take care of themselves and their world with joy.

What brought you into this mission?”
Alba approached me with the idea of creating something meaningful for kids and families and after months of dreaming together, FeelBright Kids was born. The mission connects deeply to my own story.
“How has your health journey shaped you?”
I was born with congenital heart disease and had surgery at three months old. I grew up with a long scar up my back and a constant reminder to “slow down.” But I never let it stop me, I danced, sailed, even rowed. Still, I always felt a bit different and needed time to understand how to take care of myself and embrace what made me unique.
At 21, I faced another heart surgery, this time leaving a scar down my chest. Recovering while preparing to study abroad was tough, but it also taught me resilience, courage, and a sense of humor about my “matching zipper marks.”
“What do you hope kids take away from FeelBright Kids?”
That being different is actually a strength. That slowing down when they need to and taking a breath is powerful. That they deserve characters and stories that reflect their own journeys, scars and all. And that caring for their health can feel playful, not heavy.
“Why does this matter now?”
As a mom of two, navigating my own newly diagnosed health conditions while working full time, I want my kids (and every child) to feel confident, capable, and proud of who they are. FeelBright Kids is my way of helping families feel seen, supported, and empowered.
