We’ve launched Ayda in the UAE!

That’s right - we’ve officially launched! It’s been a long labour of love - and probably one of our proudest moments to date this year. Thank you to our community for showing up + out!

Our masterclass focused on building a money mindset - using theory, practical and spiritual to build the relationship we want with our money &
inviting abundance through a conscious design. It was fantastic to meet you all + we hope to see the community continue to flourish!

THAT’S NOT ALL..

As we continue to grow, we’re expanding the way in which women think about holistic wellness. Beyond Alo, matcha + pilates, we want to lead the way women think and feel about money - and that all starts with you.
If there are any wellness brands you’d like us to collab with, give us a shout (either by replying to this email or DMing us @aydainvest.

We’ve got so many interesting things planned for 2025 - make sure to share this with you girls, so you can build the life you want on your terms. 💜
