Get to know kali wellness

Kali Wellness officially opened its doors in 2019. Initially, the venture began with its first office located in Fashion Island, where the founders, Katherine (Kali) Poulos and Dr. Kate Egan, were fully committed to providing exceptional patient care. Seeking a homier and more inviting space prompted the move of Kali Wellness to its current Costa Mesa location at 408 Westminster Ave. During her enrollment in Dr. Egan’s Human Physiology course, Kali expressed distress over the decline in her health directly relating to her time in cosmetology school. Dr. Egan was amazed that there was never any discussion about chemical exposures and the potential health risks in Kali’s program. It was at that moment that they both knew they wanted to share their knowledge and experience to create a platform for educating the community — especially those in the beauty industry — about the potential risks associated with personal care and beauty products.
What the Business Provides to the Community
Kali Wellness has laid a strong foundation for the community's well-being, fostering an environment that encourages individuals to rediscover their vitality through a thoughtful exploration of their health and inner balance. With comprehensive aesthetics services, Kali Wellness offers a sanctuary where individuals can unwind and place self-care at the forefront of their lives. Furthermore, their functional medicine practice introduces trusted practitioners who prioritize integrity, ensuring the community receives the highest standard of care.
Kali Wellness stands out as a distinctive space where aesthetics and functional medicine seamlessly intersect. Their approach is rooted in both science and holistic therapies, enabling their staff to provide a comprehensive perspective on addressing complex skin issues. Kali Wellness actively collaborates with Dr. Egan, who offers functional medicine labs, a uniquely insightful approach to their client's skin concerns. Moreover, at Kali Wellness, they proudly maintain a low-tox environment, ensuring that the products offered are free from any endocrine disruptors. Every product available through Kali Wellness undergoes a meticulous curation process, personally tested and approved by Kali and Dr. Egan to meet their quality standards.
Additionally, Kali Wellness extends its services into the realm of spiritual therapy. Sri Madhu Sai, a dedicated Monk, Counselor, Yoga Therapist, and Vedic Astrologer, brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to their team. He seamlessly blends clinical and holistic approaches to support clients dealing with Addiction, Mental Health, Trauma, and Mental Conditioning. His profound understanding of diverse cultural perspectives allows him to connect with individuals from various backgrounds, and he is passionate about guiding people on their journey to improved mental and spiritual well-being.
Philosophy of the Business
“At Kali Wellness, our overarching philosophy is to make a positive impact on people's lives. We aspire to leave individuals in an improved state, to leave a lasting impression, and to impart knowledge that enriches their understanding. Our commitment is to support and accompany individuals throughout their unique health journeys. Whether it's through our aesthetics services or functional medicine offerings, we aim to enhance lives, broaden horizons, and provide support on the path to well-being,” says Kali.
Biggest Inspiration when Starting the Business
The biggest inspiration behind starting Kali Wellness is twofold. Firstly, Kali and Dr. Egan were deeply motivated to create a unique and transformative experience for people. They wanted to offer a fresh perspective on how individuals can explore and enhance their own health. This drive to innovate and provide a distinct approach to well-being was a fundamental inspiration that fueled their journey. Secondly, Kali's grandfather played a pivotal role. He was a successful entrepreneur, and during Kali's formative years, she found his self-made success incredibly impressive and inspiring. His entrepreneurial spirit, determination, and ability to create something from the ground up left a lasting impression on Kali. This family connection to entrepreneurship served as a powerful reminder of what can be achieved through dedication and self-driven ambition, further motivating Kali to embark on this entrepreneurial venture.
