Manage episode 435566142 series 2998820
Parinda Berchtold’s story is one of passion, persistence, and a deep connection to the natural world. Born and raised in the small town of Yala, Thailand, Parinda always dreamed of something more. As a young girl, she envisioned herself living in far-off places, where the trees changed color and the ground was covered in snow. Little did she know, those dreams would eventually lead her to the United States, where she would redefine the concept of wellness through the healing power of the sea.
From an early age, Parinda had a natural inclination to help others. She spent much of her time in Thailand volunteering in remote villages, building schools, and giving back to her community. This love for service continued as she moved to the United States, initially studying to become a nurse. But as much as she admired the healthcare profession, Parinda felt a pull toward something different. She wanted to create something of her own, something that could merge her love for wellness with her desire to make a meaningful impact on people’s lives.
The turning point came when Parinda was introduced to network marketing. Though she was initially hesitant, viewing it as just another sales job, something about the wellness products resonated with her. This was especially true when she discovered the unique properties of Dead Sea products, known for their healing and rejuvenating effects. As Parinda began to explore these products, she realized they offered something more than just skincare—they embodied a philosophy of wellness rooted in nature.
"The sea has a property of healing," Parinda explains. "When you soak in the sea, you feel the difference. It’s not just a superficial change; it’s something deeper." This belief in the sea’s healing powers is what inspired her to dive headfirst into the wellness industry, combining the ancient traditions of Thai massage with the therapeutic properties of Dead Sea salt and mud.
Parinda’s wellness business is built on the idea that true healing comes from within. She emphasizes the importance of experiencing the products firsthand, rather than simply relying on marketing promises. "You can say a million things, but if you don’t experience it, it doesn’t mean much," she says. For Parinda, the journey to wellness is personal, and she encourages her clients to explore what works best for their unique needs.
One of the standout aspects of Parinda’s approach is her commitment to quality. Working closely with experts like Professor Hasni, who has a deep understanding of the properties of sea water, Parinda has developed products that are not only effective but also tailored to the specific needs of different markets. "You have to know the environment first," she notes. "It’s not just about bringing something from one place and selling it in another. You have to understand what will work best for each region."
Parinda’s products are designed to be more than just skincare—they are a holistic approach to wellness. Whether it’s the Dead Sea salt that helps soothe aches and pains or the mud masks that rejuvenate the skin, each product is crafted with care and a deep understanding of the healing process. Parinda also integrates these products into traditional Thai massage techniques, creating a powerful combination that enhances the body’s natural ability to heal.
For those looking to experience Parinda’s products, she recommends starting with a visit to a spa that specializes in Thai massage and Dead Sea treatments. "It’s about more than just using the product," she explains. "It’s about how you use it and the techniques that go along with it." By combining the best of both worlds—ancient Thai wisdom and modern wellness products—Parinda offers her clients a truly unique experience.
Parinda’s journey from a small town in Thailand to becoming a leader in the wellness industry is a testament to her dedication and belief in the healing power of nature. Through her products and services, she is helping people around the world discover the transformative effects of wellness, one experience at a time. As she continues to grow her business, Parinda remains focused on her mission: to help others feel better, look better, and live better.
