Founder Kristi Soomer, born and raised in Toronto, is not a trained fashion designer. Armed with a Finance degree and an MBA, her professional journey spans marketing and management consulting.

Rooted in a passion for light travel and minimalist living, Encircled embodies the philosophy of needing better, more functional clothing rather than more of it.

When Joy McCarthy was in her 20’s she had a complete health transformation that took her from hormonal imbalance to hormonal harmony. A big part of her healing journey was eliminating conventional hormone disrupting beauty products she was using daily. This transformation inspired Joy to follow her passion to become a holistic nutritionist where she started Joyous Health—a blog where she writes about natural beauty, creates delicious recipes and shares tips on living more joyously. In the early days, Joy had big dreams of bringing natural living mainstream and empowering a growing community to get in the driver's seat of their health. Hello Joyous is on a mission to help you find more joy in the everyday with organic, plant-based, sustainable beauty and functional wellness teas that support your well-being, make you feel good and are kind to the planet. The mission behind the brand is simple — to create highly effective organic and sustainable beauty products + functional wellness teas with minimal high-quality ingredients from nature, cut no corners, be 100% transparent and provide something that brings a little more joy to your day.
