Well-being and crafting jewelry have been a part of Jaime's (she/her/hers) life since childhood started by creating jewelry while training for the Olympic Games as a Professional Water Polo goalkeeper to her more recent personal and professional journey studying the body, mind, and spirit. Amidst her unique career path, one practice always stayed true, Jaime made each crystal jewelry piece with "Happy Vibes".
Happy Vibes Bracelets connect evidence-based practices of well-being and metaphysical properties of crystals, with the concept of jewelry with a purpose. By wearing a Happy Vibes Bracelet, we can actively increase our positive thinking and intentions towards what's most important to us.
50% of each donation-based Happy Vibes bracelet goes directly into Happy Vibes Grants for women-led, conscious, small businesses.
Where is Happy Vibes headed? We aim to launch the first of its kind Well-Being Program to Women Entrepreneurs!
