Work Background

Ori AraFounder

Sep. 2021San Francisco Bay AreaAt Ori Ara, we teach women to treat the body as our most valuable asset—because self-care isn’t a luxury, it’s the foundation for who we are and ultimately how we lead. Our approach isn’t about routines. It’s a rhythmic reprogramming of the body—designed to optimize human potential across work, home, and life. For employers, we bring this same philosophy into the workplace—operationalizing self-care as infrastructure through our proprietary system, People OS Pro™, and expanding leadership capacity through the Ori Ara Self-Care Fellowship for Women in Leadership™. Ori Ara isn’t a perk to replace your wellness program. We make your wellness program relevant—by redefining wellness as a strategic asset and delivering a framework that activates your organization’s human potential. We support recruitment, retention, engagement, and capacity—starting with the well-being of your culture keepers: team members, frontline managers, and the C-suite. Whether you’re recalibrating your own body or reshaping company culture, Ori Ara meets you at the intersection of wellness and strategy, rhythm and performance, sacred and sustainable.
