Oya Kalender
Oya Kalender, the founder of our brand, is a leader who inspires women of all ages and knows how to bring them together. Her energy, attitude and outlook on life have been a strong source of motivation, especially for women going through difficult and twisty periods of life.
Believing that aging well is a phenomenon that develops from the inside out, that women are beautiful at every age, and that they can defy the effects of time if they maintain their health, energy and joy of life, Oya, who knows that "womanhood" is a long road and passes through different stops, has made it her mission to guide them on this journey by preserving their holistic well-being. She has always advocated that a fit and energetic life is possible, where well-being is fundamental in the integrity of spirit, body and mind.
The basis of her inspiration to women and then to young people is her belief that everyone deserves a good life. Her belief that it is possible to renew from the inside out, to age healthily and with quality, and that we have the chance to create the best version of ourselves at our age.
