PADAM is a dream come true ;one that came to life after what was probably the most challenging chapter of my life.
In 2017, I took off my engagement ring, I had just lost all my savings in a failed a gym franchise in Colombia (Be Smart fitness lab), and I was deeply questioning the business i had built for over six years: Verderina. In January 2018, i sold it. That’s when something new started to take shape, something rooted in purpose and joy. That something became PADAM WELLNESS.
I say dream because I had always asked for one thing: “To build the life I want doing what I love.” And today, thanks to PADAM, that’s exactly what I’m living; creating from the heart, doing what I love most, and transforming lives through the magic, the alchemy, and the healing power of nature.
Back in 2017, during that personal crisis, my symptoms from polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) flared up: depression, anxiety, painful periods, acne... I’ve always believed in the body’s natural ability to heal, especially when supported by nature. That belief led me to start my healing journey, which brought me to Ayurveda; the ancient healing science of India. That’s where I discovered the golden elixir known as Golden Milk.
I started drinking it, changed some habits, and my symptoms completely disappeared.
By then, I had already sold Verderina, so I felt called to share this healing recipe with others, especially women going through the same struggles. That’s how PADAM’s first product was born. With pride, we became the first brand in Colombia to launch an instant Golden Milk and pioneers in using adaptogens in food formulations in our country.
And just six months later, in June 2018, when I thought my life had fallen apart — the magic began. And it hasn’t stopped since.
Over these years, we’ve created a portfolio of 7 powerful blends made with superfoods, adaptogens, nootropics, and functional mushrooms to help people feel their best. We've impacted thousands of lives, received medical endorsement from the Colombian Association of Endometriosis (ASOCOEN), and made it to major retailers with over 1,500 points of sale in Colombia, the U.S, and Panama. Our dream is to keep growing and bringing our mission to every corner of the world.
These years have been full of challenges, but also full of growth, joy, balance, and deep personal expansion.Thank you for being part of this beautiful story called PADAM.
The PADAM Concept
PADAM is passion for nature’s magic and wisdom, symbolized by the four-leaf clover. It’s inspired by ancient medicine, well-being, and modern-day alchemy.
Our name carries two powerful meanings:
- From Sanskrit, PADAM means “walking inward.”
- And from the iconic Édith Piaf song “PADAM PADAM,” it’s the sound of a heartbeat, love, emotion, and intensity.
To me (Vivi), PADAM is a journey of self-discovery, taking the steps toward the most important trip of all: the one within.
PADAM is a heartbeat full of love — for yourself and for others. It’s a compass guiding you home to who you truly are. It’s expansion. It’s transformation. It’s pure alchemy, a burst of color and magic.
