Sisters have a bond unique to every other relationship a woman keeps. A relationship built at the early stages of life, or even later with our chosen families, sisterhoods are lifetime bonds one can lean on during the best and worst parts of life. This is especially true to sisters, Michelle and Yan Calupitan. Michelle is the older sister, who Yan would always look up to her in every aspect of life. Yan meanwhile, is Michelle’s permanent confidant. “We have always been the kind of sisters who cherished each other. We only have a four-year gap and grew up in a big and close-knit family. We were always so close to each other and there was never a time that we were separated for a long period of time. Even now, with my four kids people would sometimes say ‘O, magksama na kayo kanina pero hangang sa pag-uwi magkatext at magkachat pa rin kayo!’ We talk about everything, nothing stays hidden,” Michelle shares.
They carry this bond when they built their home-service massage and wellness company, Beyond Massage. “My family travel a lot and every time we fly out domestically or internationally, we make sure to try different spas especially in luxury hotels. It annoyed us how inconsistent it all was. Sometimes it was good, but sometimes it was bad too. That was a pain point we wanted to address with Beyond Massage. To provide consistently good massage services at the comforts of your own home,” they said.
