Angela, born in the Netherlands in 1965, lived throughout Europe as a young woman. She was greatly influenced by her 16 years living with a Chinese family and many years of travel throughout all of Europe and China experiencing an extensive variety of arts, sciences, and cultural traditions. After her Homeopathic education, Angela moved to the United States in 1995.
Angela has since studied and practiced natural medicine with an additional education in Naturopathy, Western and Chinese herbal therapies as an Herbalist, therapeutic nutrition, and Aromatherapy. Angela’s worldly education blends her knowledge of traditional uses of plants with modern science and contemporary healthcare strategies. She has helped and continues to help many people reverse difficult health problems.
With her view on health and wellness and natural beauty rooted in the ancient traditions of holistic medicine, it is Angela’s belief that the physical, emotional and spiritual aspects of life are closely interconnected and equally important to bringing one's system into balance, health and beauty. By using a deeply holistic approach, Angela creates beautiful professional skin care products using only food grade USDA certified organic and Wildcrafted/unsprayed ingredients. Having respect and reverence for the intended user, Angela's botanical formulas meet strict quality control measures, never compromising the bioavailability by using toxic fillers, chemical preservatives, or any other synthetic ingredient.
Through her unique custom blended botanical formulations, she addresses the skin, recognizing that everything that is put onto the skin enters into the body and becomes one with the person. Once a product is applied to the skin, the immediate therapeutic effects assist the body’s own mechanism to promote healing of self on physical, emotional and spiritual levels and always perfectly attuned to the skin's specific needs, protecting it against premature aging and restoring its natural balance. As both beauty and health begin with intention, so is it Angela’s intention to offer the best in luxury and purity through her product offering.
Today, when Angela is not formulating more incredible products, she can be found lecturing or seeing people in her private practice. Angela knows that improved health and homeostasis is available to everyone. If we live in harmony with nature by following nature’s laws, then good health is inevitable.
“It is my hope to reach as many people as I can, improving their health and life with sound knowledge and truly organic skin care products."
“At OBVITA we help people feel better, look better and most importantly be better through love, education, and wholesome clean organic skin care products”
"That what is required to restore back to health, the same is required to maintain health, because health is our natural state".

Dee Chang EHP, CHHP, RM, RMT, CA
She is a Energy Healing Professional (EHP), a Certified Holistic Health Professional (CHHP), a Reiki Master (RM), a Reiki Master Trainer (RMT), and a Certified Holistic Aromatherapist (CA)
Although Dee currently lives in the US, she was born in Taiwan. Her beginning was a difficult one: she was born two months early and consequently developed a severe case of jaundice. At the time, her prognosis was not good and her doctors told her mother to “just enjoy your baby
while you can. She does not have much time left to live”. Frantically trying to find a way to save her chronically ill child, Dee’s mother was counseled by a good friend to see a Chinese herbal
medicine doctor. Upon examination, the doctor quickly prescribed an herbal medicine to be administered daily as she returned home. Each day her mother would take Dee out into the
sunlight to monitor her progress and, on the third day, the jaundice was practically gone.
Traditional Chinese Medicine and natural foods saved her life.
Throughout Dee’s life, both in Taiwan and in the US, her mother was a firm believer in the
healing power of Traditional Chinese Medicine, natural foods, and positive energy. When Dee
gave birth to her own daughter, naturally she applied the same techniques that her mother had successfully used on her.
After her daughter was grown and on her own, Dee went through a tremendously stressful time and became gravely ill. Symptoms included severe migraine headaches, vertigo, and a chronic pain which covered her entire body. These symptoms were so debilitating that she was unable to do most of the things that we take for granted each day. Driving became almost impossible and going to work was out of the question. There were even days when her symptoms were so severe that she could not find the energy to get out of bed. After visiting many doctors and receiving numerous tests, Dee was sent home with a variety of painkillers and epilepsy medication for the vertigo episodes. However, rather than making her better, the conventional medicines began to damage her stomach.
At this point, seeing that health was continuing to decline, Dee took matters into her own hands and she returned to her Traditional Chinese roots and turned back to holistic healing methods. In addition, a friend of Dee’s introduced her to Reiki Energy Healing. As she did during her infancy, Dee’s health quickly responded to this combination of Chinese medicine, natural foods, and, with the advanced help of Reiki Energy Healing techniques, positive energy. Since that near-death experience, Dee promised herself to go back to school and study these holistic healing techniques intensively -- a promise that she has faithfully kept. With that knowledge, Dee has for over ten years helped others to also regain their health.
Energy Healing has played a particularly significant part in helping others back to health both physically and emotionally. From her years of experience, Dee believes it is absolutely important to combine energy healing, herbal therapies/Chinese medicine and natural organic food in order to provide complete and holistic healing for her clients. Traditional Chinese medicine, natural foods/ therapies and energy healing brought Dee back from the brink of death. That experience now provides the passion in her own practice to help others overcome emotional and physical obstacles and live a life full of health and vitality.
“I take every opportunity I could to broaden my Holistic healing educational horizons, so I can better support and help others”- Dee
