Our Team
Born from a great friendship and long deep chats over the phone while traversing the bay area traffic, our team has more recently been joined by two (not so) little fluff balls, Wolfrick (on the left) and Willoughby (on the right).
Erna Wenus, L.ac.
Co-creator and Resident Sage
Erna is a wanderer between lands. In a literal sense: she lived the first half of her life in Germany before she moved to the United States.
In a professional sense: she was a medical doctor before she immersed herself in Traditional Chinese Medicine. (She is still going strong in her own practice.)
And in an elemental sense: her strong Water characteristics make her dig deep for nuggets of wisdom and troves of knowledge while the little secondary Fire peak makes her enjoy creative and fun undertakings like this blog.
Vanille Fricker
Co-Creator, Artist and Designer
Vanille is a burgeoning artist and designer who thanks to the amazing framework developed by Erna was able to reconnect to her artistic drive after years of burn out and creative exploitation. The intricately woven concepts of elemental happiness explored while being Erna’s patient have gently restored balance and opened up a world full of creativity, harmony, joy, and fun!
Vanille’s strong water and fire nature merge together harmoniously in illustrating deep concepts in a comprehensive, abstract, creative and beautiful way.
