Equipped with her wellness brand, Jhenetics products, Aiko organized a team of massage therapists to deliver much-needed stress relief to firefighters and first responders stationed near the Pacific Coast Highway. Using Jhenetics’ homeopathic wellness products, these massage sessions were designed to alleviate the physical and emotional toll of combating wildfires. This effort marks the launch of Jhenetics’ broader initiative to bring wellness relief to the city’s heroes and those impacted by the fires. As Los Angeles enters day 13 of this ongoing crisis, Jhenetics is setting up relief stations at frontline posts, donation centers, shelters, and other locations across the city. The brand is committed to providing free massages, stress relief, and pain management to give back to the community that raised Aiko and served as the foundation for her brand.
“The recent fires across Los Angeles County have profoundly affected us all. As we try to make sense of these tragic events, we have been moved to be of service to our first responders and families affected by the fires,” Jhenetics said in a statement. “With sudden change comes uncertainty, but we must remain grounded. These challenging times are an opportunity to be there for one another and build a stronger community,” it continued. For Aiko, this initiative is deeply personal. She aims to uplift the men and women risking their lives to protect Los Angeles by turning her pain into purpose.
