Redefining Women’s Wellbeing & Empowerment
Our mission is to spread inter-generational joy, holistic wellbeing & inclusive mvmt across the globe.
Chretienne & Kat Yalung are Filipino Goddesses on a mission to empower conscious, visionary heart led BIPOC leaders home (Bahay = home in Filipino Tagalog) to self, the self grounded in joy, acceptance & balance. Determined to shake up wellness & spirituality with melanin spice, they activate movement play, somatic (body) mindfulness, cultural awareness, & ancestral sensory wisdom to co-create transformative, playful & accessible healing experiences.
As two sisters in an immigrant family who grew up in Spokane, WA we found ourselves in survival mode confronting shared challenges of belonging & unworthiness regardless of circumstance. As Chretienne built a growing & thriving boutique fitness studio in Spokane for 10 years, Kat left for Peace Corps Nicaragua, South Africa & California thriving in social impact, economic equity and tech. We embarked on our own spiritual & professional journeys with paralleled life experiences & wild passion to empower others in our own unique ways. Twelve years later after finding success as executives in our own careers, managing teams of 40+ & regional wide communities, we both came home to being IN our body with newfound levels of worth, wealth, & wellbeing . A wellbeing rooted in love physically, mentally, emotionally, energetically & spiritually. We discovered a mutual calling & purpose to create transformative, culturally unique, safe spaces for others to grow, thrive & shine in any season of life & work!
We envision a world where every BODY is seen, heard & celebrated in

“Kat’s experience as a founder and working with entrepreneurs for the last 15 years gives her a unique introspective to what the founder journey is like, the ups and downs, and how best to take care of your mental health. She reminded us how important our bodies are, to listen to them and to be in tune with them always. She was able to give tactical approach’s to daily wellness and how to help keep ourselves grounded. Her session was what a lot of our founders needed and her authenticity made it truly enjoyable.”

“I cannot begin to express the gratitude I have for Chretienne. Not only is she an amazing fitness coach for our dancers, but a one-of-a-kind soul who meets you on your level, cares for the emotional, physical, and mental well-being of everyone, is an advocate for team and community, and creates a sense of belonging for each individual. Since she’s been with us, our dancers have skyrocketed- mind, body, and soul. Chretienne has a way of getting that inner rockstar to shine! Without her, our dancers and staff wouldn’t be the same. We are and will be forever grateful for everything she brings to our company and dancers’ lives.”

“Kat brings such great energy to any group. When we were considering who should lead the wellness activities at our retreat and Kat’s name was suggested, it was a no brainer. And wow, did she deliver! She spoke directly to practices that everyone could use, whether they were beginners or experienced. She engaged everyone, from the most skeptical to the most eager, and got rave reviews all around.”
