About the Founders
The Balance Factory was founded in 2025 by Nafeesa and Syhaya, longtime friends and Columbia, SC natives who first met at their local high school. Both artists and entrepreneurs, they’ve lived and worked across the globe.
As a creative with a business background, Nafeesa formed a lifestyle brand, Walkae [Life], which encompasses furniture design, ayurvedic skincare products, wellness foods & beverages. Syhaya’s brand, Holistically Fierce, has a range of wellness and meditation products. Her career experience involves performing arts, film, tv, and video games. She is a trained Health Coach, Reiki Practitioner, and Yoga Instructor, teaching for over a decade in various settings.
While roommates in New York, the duo created an artistic collaborative event in Brooklyn’s East Williamsburg, showcasing their dynamic approach to creative entrepreneurship. Blending their creative talents with their passion for wellness, their shared vision of creating dynamic brands and community-driven spaces led to the birth of The Balance Factory in their home town.
