Our Story
What is Halfbodied?
We believe that in order to create positive change globally, we first have to create change within ourselves. The relationship that you have with yourself sets the tone for your relationship with everything else around you. It is important to care for yourself first to spread positivity to your loved ones. Bringing relaxation and tranquility to our mental and physical care is one of our three core beliefs. In our community, we believe in creating a safe and inviting space for everyone to spread kindness to their mind and bodies. Extending kindness inward helps us thrive as individuals and gives us the ability to uplift others. While caring for ourselves, we also believe in giving back to our planet. For us, sustainability is our second core belief that we take care of the planet that provides for us. By making purposeful choices in the everyday, it creates a ripple effect that sends better and improved futures. Our third core value is complete transparency in the ingredients we use. In the industry, a lot is hidden when it comes to making profit. Transparency in a brand and business is a key defining factor of their standards, ethics and true impact. We place high value on visibility and transparency, and we’re committed to show authenticity through the ingredients we use.
