Glen and Michelle, are the creators of Mahal Ohana. Michelle is the designer of all the products, while Glen is the one behind processing and shipping the orders.
The driving force behind their decision to take a leap of faith and open a small business was the experiences they faced this year (2022). It has been a challenging one, to say the least. Michelle found herself facing a medical journey that put her physical body and mind to the test. After many appointments and bouncing around through various specialist, their family witnessed someone who was capable of juggling everything, struggle to face the world. Thankfully, at this point in time, they have been able to rule out the more serious illnesses.
Crafting has always been a form of therapy for Michelle. When she was at her most vulnerable she created two designs centered 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 our Inspiration Collection.
Glen saw potential in the designs and encouraged her to share them with others who may be struggling through their own storm. After plenty of prayer to see if this was a journey worth starting, they felt God pressing on their hearts to take the leap of faith.
