Meet Chrysti and Nina. The Self Hug was born from a moment of vulnerability and a search for purpose. Confronted with burnout, our founders recognized that millions might be facing similar overwhelming challenges in seeking balance and fulfillment. Driven by a shared desire to heal, find resilience and thrive, they took action—not just for themselves, but for everyone who needs support.
