In this episode of ThinkrTalk, Orchid sits down with Nathalie von Teichman and Andrew von Teichman — founders, partners, parents of four, and trailblazers in modern family wellness.
Coming from distinct yet complementary worlds — pharma, consumer goods, wine, cannabis, and youth mental health — Nathalie and Andrew share how their professional paths converged into a shared mission: building brands that help families live better, emotionally and physically.
The conversation traces the evolution of Miindfully, which began as a simple toy concept called MediTATE, and grew into a hardware-enabled emotional wellness tool for children. Today, it is expanding into a broader lifestyle brand rooted in presence, self-regulation and meaningful family connection.
Along the way, the conversation candidly explores what it takes to build in emerging — and often misunderstood — categories, from children’s mindfulness to emotionally sensitive consumer wellness, including:
- Building companies before the market fully understands the category
- One coherent strategy that blends pharma, CPG, and wellness
- Lessons from Andrew’s work with Kids Help Phone and youth mental health initiatives
- How raising four children while building companies has shaped this couple's leadership
- The impact of a family sabbatical in Austria on pace, values, and clarity
- What it really means to build a business together — at work and at home
- How Miindfully is thinking about scale over the next 12–24 months
This episode is a reminder that emotional health doesn’t start with a product. It starts with heart — presence, modelling, and care.
For founders, parents, and anyone interested in the future of wellness, this is a thoughtful, honest conversation about building with intention and long-term impact.
Here’s to the innovators, doers and dreamers reshaping healthcare — one bold step at a time.
