Why I Finally Asked for Help — And Who I Trusted Enough to Say Yes

Remote collaboration work

Living in Frankfurt is a dream in many ways — it’s vibrant, full of opportunity, and inspiring. But let’s be real: it’s also expensive. Over the past months, I’ve been juggling three jobs just to sustain my living expenses — working part-time as a web designer, a fitness instructor, and of course, managing my own wellness business, which I pour my heart into.

And while I truly love what I do, I’ve also had to face something difficult:

The stress has been immense, and I’ve been stretched too thin.

For a long time, I believed I could manage everything myself — and maybe that was true for a while. But when you're deeply committed to supporting others in their wellness, it's just as important to recognize your own limits.

So here it is: It’s time to ask for help.

But not just from anyone. If I was going to welcome someone into the heart of this business — into the care and trust I’ve built with all of you — it had to be someone I know intimately, someone I’ve worked with before, someone who understands wellness not just as a trend, but as a calling.

I’m thrilled to introduce Sarrah Navarro, who is joining me as our new Digital Services Coordinator.

Sarrah will be supporting the wellness business behind the scenes — managing our digital content, social media, and helping respond to offline guest enquiries (yes, she can respond to messages in German, too!).

Sarrah is based in the Philippines and is someone I’ve known and trusted for years. We first worked together in the world of natural cosmetics formulation, and I’ve always admired her work ethic, thoughtfulness, and calm presence.

She is a graduate of the University of the Philippines — the number one, top-ranked university in the country — with a degree in English Studies. Her strong communication skills, combined with her genuine passion for wellness and health, make her a perfect fit for this new chapter.

Sarrah has been thoroughly trained and is fully equipped with the tools she needs to support both you and me in this growing journey. I’m beyond grateful to be building this first-ever collaboration as a team, and I know you'll feel her care and dedication in every interaction.

Thank you for continuing to support me — and now us — in this evolving wellness space. Here’s to more ease, balance, and support for all of us.

Warmly,

Felipe
