Katrina’s path

Founder’s Journey

From crisis to calling, how one mother’s persistence sparked HydroLuxe and a new standard for science-backed hydration.

  1. Early family wellness focus
    Turning Point•2019

    Pregnancy, symptoms, first ionizer

    Pregnant with her first child and facing thyroid issues, chronic migraines, reflux, and water retention, Katrina invested in a water ionizer at 8 months. When Roman developed severe eczema at 6 months, she looked beyond conventional care.

    • Major thyroid concerns and biopsy discussion
    • Prescription-level migraines and severe reflux
    • 18kg pregnancy weight gain; first ionizer purchased
    • Roman’s eczema pushed a deeper search
  2. Vision•2019

    Seeing the gaps

    While distributing another brand, Katrina saw limitations in innovation, aesthetics, and filtration, especially around fluoride and PFAS. HydroLuxe was conceived to marry high performance with true internal filtration.

    • Highest performance + true internal filtration
    • Design for modern homes
  3. Healing•2020

    Home becomes an eco-wellness lab

    Organic food, removing pesticides, and using targeted pH levels of ionized water for gut and topical protocols led to profound changes.

    • Migraines disappeared; thyroid re-balanced
    • Lost 18kg in 9 months, no dieting or exercise
    • Roman’s skin healed completely

    “Results first, then the mission.”
