Our Story

About Wellrose

A rose never questions its bloom—it simply unfolds in grace as each petal opens in its own time. Wellrose honors this ever-evolving natural rhythm that already lives in you, guiding you to amplify your purest light, your deepest strength, your fullest bloom on your journey of transformations and becoming. The rose has long symbolized love, beauty, and courage—three qualities we hold at the heart of this community. We believe every person carries the strength to grow and expand, the love to nurture themselves and others, and the innate beauty to bloom into their brightest, truest self.

This vision is deeply rooted in the life of our founder, Katerina. Raised in a health-conscious, deeply loving family, she grew up in an environment where well-being was lived, not just taught. Her father is a pioneer of Integrative Medicine—the first cardiologist and western medicine doctor in the Chinese-speaking world to champion this approach in the 1990s, later opening the region’s first Integrative Medicine clinic, Total Wellness. Katerina’s upbringing was enriched not only by science and medicine, but also by the balance of love, compassion, and gratitude, with an emphasis on emotional health, Chinese cultural wisdom, multiculturalism, and naturopathic practices.

Wellrose is the collection of these influences, along with Katerina’s knowledge, learnings and carefully curated methods gathered over years of study, exploration, and lived experience. It is a return to what is essential: reconnecting with nature, realigning with our energy, and remembering the wholeness that empowers us to create the lives we truly want. At Wellrose, we walk alongside you in this journey—petal by petal, layer by layer—towards a life that is more natural, radiant, and deeply in harmony.

About Katerina

Hello and welcome! I’m Katerina, friends call me Kate. I founded Wellrose in 2020 from a lifelong belief that when our well-being—body, mind, and spirit—is in alignment, we can create the life we truly desire. My path to building this community is deeply personal, shaped by the lessons, challenges, and people who taught me the importance of listening to my own inner voice.

For years, though happy, I chased “destination happiness”—believing fulfillment would come with the next achievement, the next milestone. In that pursuit, I often felt disconnected from myself, swept away by societal expectations and the noise of everyday life. Leaving an abusive, narcissistic marriage revealed, with piercing clarity, how profoundly our emotional and mental well-being shape our physical health—and how, when we begin to heal and reconnect with ourselves, we change our energy, and naturally attract the people, opportunities, and circumstances that align with our highest good.

What began as a journey of recovery soon became a journey of discovery. I turned to the methods and tools I had known since childhood, while exploring and learning new ones along the way. Each step brought me closer to myself, expanded my consciousness, and strengthened my energetic connection to the world around me. From this space, I was able to create the life I had always dreamed of living.

Wellrose is the portal to these discoveries and learnings. It is a space born from love, resilience, and the belief that we all carry the ability and hold the energy to connect, grow, and blossom into our truest selves. My hope is that Wellrose can walk with you on your own journey—reminding you of your strength, your beauty, and the incredible life that is waiting to unfold for you.

With love and gratitude,
Kate
