In 2017 Mari hit rock bottom mentally and physically, and decided to take ownership of my health by turning to wellness. She lost an astonishing 90lbs through strength training and completely transformed her life, inspiring her to launch both Bloom and the Strength app that have grown through her own platforms. Since then, she has dedicated her life to helping women from all backgrounds reach their full potential both mentally and physically.

The moment taught her about the working from the inside out, learning to believe in yourself, and knowing that you are WORTH the time and energy it takes to become your best self. She further learned to keep going, keep doing the work, and keep transforming into the best version of herself. She always reminds herself "this is what hard feels like".

Mari Llewellyn, Co-Founder of Bloom, Founder of Strength by Mari, Mental Health Advocate and Fitness Entrepreneur who in 2022 landed on Forbes’ coveted “30 Under 30” list further solidifying her place in the health and wellness space. She has grown her platform of over 2M combined followers by documenting her everyday life and sharing her inspiring fitness journey with her loyal community. Mari lost an astonishing 90lbs through strength training and completely transformed her life, inspiring her to launch both Bloom and the Strength app which are completely self-funded businesses that have grown through Mari's owned platforms.
