WHO WE ARE
About Zeri Wellness
A faith-rooted wellness ministry dedicated to nurturing wholeness in families.
OUR STORY
Nurturing Wholeness Through Faith & Connection
Zeri Wellness was born from a deep passion to see families thrive together-bridging the gap between parents and teens through faith-rooted guidance, cultural understanding, and genuine care. Inspired by the Kiswahili word for balm, we exist to nurture healing and wellness for individuals, families, and communities.
OUR MISSION
To nurture wholeness in both parents and young people by creating a faith-rooted, culturally relevant space for growth. We equip parents with tools and confidence to raise resilient teens, while empowering youth with mentorship and resources to discover their purpose, overcome challenges and thrive.
OUR VISION
To see families across Kenya and beyond living in wholeness, where parents and teens understand each other, communicate openly and grow together in faith and purpose. We envision communities where every young person has access to mentorship, and every parent feels equipped to guide their family with confidence and grace.
Meet Josephine
Josephine Ngugi is a passionate advocate for family wellness, youth empowerment, and faith-based mentorship. Through her work with parents and young people, she recognized a critical gap: the struggle many families face in maintaining connection during the teenage years.
The Journey to Zeri Wellness
Growing up in Kenya, Josephine witnessed firsthand how cultural expectations, generational gaps, and modern pressures can strain the parent-teen relationship. She saw parents who desperately wanted to connect with their children but didn’t know how. She saw young people searching for purpose and identity without the guidance they needed.
This realization sparked a mission: to create a space where families could find healing, understanding, and tools for genuine connection-all rooted in faith and cultural relevance.
WHY “ZERI”?
The name “Zeri” comes from the Kiswahili word for balm-a healing ointment. Just as a balm soothes and restores, Zeri Wellness exists to bring healing to families, helping them find wholeness and wellness together.
HER APPROACH
Josephine believes that true wellness isn’t just about individual success-it’s about families thriving together. Her approach combines:
Faith-Rooted Wisdom:
Drawing from Christian values and principles that provide a strong foundation for family life
Cultural Relevance:
Understanding and honoring African traditions while navigating modern challenges
Practical Tools:
Providing actionable strategies that parents and teens can implement immediately
Empathetic Mentorship:
Meeting families where they are with compassion and understanding
Beyond Zeri Wellness
In addition to her work at Zeri Wellness, Josephine is the author of Career Hacks for Young People, a practical guide helping young adults discover their strengths and build confidence in their future. Through her writing, speaking, and mentorship, she continues to inspire the next generation to live with purpose and hope.
“Every family deserves a space where they feel seen, heard, and supported. My hope is that Zeri Wellness becomes that space-a place where healing begins, connections deepen, and families discover the joy of thriving together.”
