Today we’d like to introduce you to Tina Lee.
Hi Tina, we’re thrilled to have a chance to learn your story today. So, before we get into specifics, maybe you can briefly walk us through how you got to where you are today?
My journey began in healthcare, but it was life outside of it that truly reshaped how I understand the human experience; the body, stress, and what it means to feel safe within yourself.
I come from a nursing background, where I spent years studying and working within healthcare environments, supporting people through some of their most vulnerable moments. It gave me a deep respect for the body, for stress, and for how closely physical and emotional wellbeing are connected.
At the same time, I was navigating my own season of mental health challenges, burnout, and disconnection. I was constantly pushing through stress, anxiety, and emotional exhaustion while, on the outside, I was functioning and “coping.” Eventually, I reached a point where I knew something had to change.
So I turned to yoga and meditation. At first, it was simply because I needed to feel okay again. But over time, it became a practice that deeply transformed the relationship with myself and the world. What began as just showing up to a class became a profoundly healing journey. I remember realizing for the first time how much tension I had been carrying physically, mentally, and emotionally. Breathwork, meditation, and gentle movement helped me feel safe enough to listen inward and reconnect with parts of myself I had been pushing aside.
As I continued, I became fascinated by the connection between the body, the nervous system, and the environments we live in. I began studying the science behind stress regulation, sensory experiences, and emotional wellbeing, while also leaning into softer, more intentional rituals that supported me personally. Wellness stopped feeling like a routine and became a way of living aligned with how I wanted to feel.
That journey eventually inspired me to travel to Bali and later living in Rishikesh, India, to immerse myself in yoga at its roots and deepen my understanding beyond the physical practice and into philosophy and tradition.
Prema Life Wellness emerged from the integration of these worlds: human biology, embodied understanding, and lived experience. It is a wellness space dedicated to nervous system support, emotional regulation, and intentional living. My work is centered on creating experiences that feel like a “coming home”, where individuals can reconnect with themselves through both structure and softness.
What’s most meaningful to me is that this work was built from personal experience. Everything I share comes from what I’ve moved through and what has genuinely supported me during some of the most challenging seasons of my life. I think that’s why people connect so deeply to it because it’s not just something I teach, it’s something I’ve needed myself.
I’m still evolving, still learning, and still growing alongside the work I create, but that’s what I value most about it. This journey has taught me that healing isn’t about becoming someone new, but being more and more yourself.
We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
One of the most significant challenges was learning how to build a business while navigating periods of growth, transition, and self-discovery at the same time. There were many moments of self-doubt, questioning whether I was capable of bringing my vision to life in a way that felt aligned, and how to share something so personal with the world. Like many entrepreneurs building something rooted in lived experience, I also moved through comparison and the pressure to stay visible in a very external environment.
Another layer of growth came from unlearning the belief that success has to come at the expense of wellbeing. In the early stages, I found myself slipping back into patterns of overworking and moving beyond my own capacity, while simultaneously learning how to embody the practices I was teaching. It became a quiet refinement process, learning how to build from a more regulated, intentional place rather than urgency.
Over time, these experiences shaped the way I now approach my work and reinforced the importance of creating spaces that feel supportive rather than performative or demanding.
I have realized how important it is to stay rooted in my mission and I let that guide everything I create.
Great, so let’s talk business. Can you tell our readers more about what you do and what you think sets you apart from others?
Prema Life Wellness was created from a very personal place in my heart. In a world of noise, I was craving a sense of peace, safety, and belonging. This culmination of experiences changed me, and it became the foundation for everything I now create.
At its core, Prema Life Wellness is about helping people feel safe enough to be themselves and to reconnect them with what sets them alive. It is a space built on love, connection, softness, and community. More than anything, I want people to feel seen when they enter my world. whether that’s through a class, a conversation, a video, or simply a piece of content online. I think so many people are silently carrying stress, loneliness, pressure, or emotional heaviness while feeling like they have to hold it all together. I wanted to create a space where people no longer feel alone in that.
Through yoga, breathwork, meditation, wellness experiences, transformational coaching, and digital content, my intention is not just to teach practices, but to create experiences that make people feel grounded, supported, and emotionally held. I care deeply about how people feel in my presence and within my community.
What sets Prema Life Wellness apart is the heart behind it. Every yoga flow, video, story is shared with genuine intention and care. This brand was never built just to look beautiful. It was built to make people feel something. To embolden what matters to them. To empower their self trust. To fully express what truly sets them free. To remind them they are worthy of rest, connection, love, and belonging exactly as they are.
What I’m most proud of is the community that’s slowly forming around those values. The messages from people saying they finally feel calmer, more connected to themselves, or emotionally supported through my work mean more to me than anything else. That’s the kind of impact I hope to continue creating.
How do you think about luck?
I don’t really think of my journey in terms of “luck” in a traditional sense. It’s felt more like a collection of deeply human moments — some incredibly painful, some unexpectedly aligned — that have all shaped the direction of my life and work.
One of the most significant experiences was losing my mom to cancer last year. That season changed everything — it shifted how I see time, love, and presence. In the middle of grief, I became even more aware of how much meaning lives in the intangible — taking risks, having the courage to voice your truth, celebrating the people you. love, allowing yourself to be strong and vulnerable at the same time. It reminded me that life is often built by these quiet, internal shifts that reconnect us to what truly matters.
In a way, I see both “good luck” and “bad luck” as redirection. The harder seasons pushed me inward, forced me to slow down, and ultimately led me to build Prema Life Wellness from a much more honest and heart-led place. At the same time, moments of alignment like meeting supportive people, feeling seen in my work and mission, or receiving encouragement at the right time felt like little nudges to keep going.
More than anything, what has carried me is intention. I’ve learned that when something is built from truth, care, and authenticity, the people who are meant to connect with it often find their way to it. Prema Life Wellness was born from that understanding.
So if there has been any “luck” in my story, I think it has been life continually bringing me back to the core of the heart: connection, presence, and love in its simplest forms.
