Our Story

In 2022, Michelle faced a medical journey that put her physical body and mind to the test. Her family witnessed someone who was capable of juggling everything, suddenly struggle to face the world.

As a Graphic Designer, designing has always been a form of therapy. When she was at her most vulnerable she created two designs based on two sayings that she held onto for positivity, Faith over Fear and Grow Through What you Go Through. Michelle placed the designs on mugs to help reframe her mindset while she enjoyed her morning cup of coffee. This is what sparked the start of Mahal Ohana.

Our goal with Mahal Ohana is to create products that will encourage, uplift and bring joy to those facing difficult seasons in their life.

Behind the Designs

Healing Isn't Linear Blog

Healing Is Not Linear

Sharing my health journey as I navigate life with mixed connective tissue disease (MCTD). From the uncertainty of symptoms to the eventual diagnosis in 2023, my path to healing has been anything but straightforward. Despite the challenges of finding the right treatment, I've discovered that healing is not linear.

Grow Through What You Go Through

Grow Through What You Go Through
