MinaRosa was born from lived experience
Our founder, Ana, spent years navigating recurrent UTIs painful, disruptive, and too often dismissed as something women are expected to endure. In 2021, while experiencing another UTI, she turned to research on red light therapy for pain and inflammation relief. Having worked with multiple engineering companies, including SpaceX and Senra Systems, Ana brings her technical expertise and innovative mindset to lead MinaRosa's mission.
"Women deserve better options, deeper care, and the right to feel heard in their own bodies."
Having spent years in operations with extensive experience in e-commerce and community management, Abby brings her talent for building relationships and community to help lead MinaRosa's mission
"Every relationship we build is another woman who knows she doesn't have to go through this alone."
