HUĀ is the Chinese word for “flower,” symbolizing our deep connection to nature and belief that wellness products should be rooted in high quality natural ingredients.

You probably have heard the gender pay gap but have you heard of the gender stress gap? Studies have found women to be twice as stressed as men. From workplace expectations to household labor, the mental load often falls heavier on women, leading to higher rates of burnout, anxiety, and stress-related health issues. At HUA Wellness, we’re on a mission to close this gap. By creating science-backed, natural solutions designed for the way stress uniquely impacts women—and advocating for women's mental health—we’re here to help close the stress gap and empower women with better tools for stress management. Because women deserve to stress less and live more.

While working in tech startups, Linda saw firsthand how stress disproportionately impacts women. After experiencing burnout and struggling to find effective, science-backed solutions, she used her bioengineering background and guidance from her doctor mom to create her own. During the pandemic, she also found solace in nature, reinforcing the connection between stress relief and green spaces. This led her to start HUA—a brand tackling stress while fostering a love for nature in an urban lifestyle.
