Our story
Help should not have to wait for a breakdown.
Lifed began with a question asked inside a hospital, and became a place to book real wellbeing programs, run by real people, in real places.
A global platform to book curated wellbeing programs across wellness, functional movement and recovery. Residential stays and day sessions, hosted by vetted Healthmates. Non-clinical, and never a substitute for medical care.
Where it began
A hospital. A question that would not leave.
It started at JIPMER in Pondicherry. Two people from different disciplines kept noticing the same thing: people arrived in a bad way, were put back together, and came back again.
Harinekshana K.H., a cardiac perfusionist, watched lives saved in an operating theatre, then watched the same people leave with nothing to help them live differently.
“Why do we wait until people break before we try to help them?”
The gap
Help arrives late, and in pieces.
Most people do not arrive at wellbeing through curiosity. They arrive through exhaustion, later than they meant to.
Everything responds after the damage
Almost everything built to help is designed for after something breaks, rather than before it.
Help is scattered across screens
One practice on one app, another on a second, sleep on a third. Useful alone, none aware of the others.
The real thing is hard to book
Wellbeing practices are taught widely and well. A verified practitioner, on a date that works, at a price stated upfront, is the part that is missing.
What we built
What Lifed actually is.
Residential stays where everything is included, and day programs you attend near home. The website is the doorway. The program is the point.
The programs
Each one built with the person or place hosting it, and reviewed before it goes live.
The Healthmates
Practitioners, centres, communities and organisers who host them. Partners, not listings.

“We are not building another app. We are building the part of wellbeing that happens in the real world, before anything breaks.”

Hosting on Lifed is by invitation. Every program is shaped with its Healthmate and reviewed with scientific support, so what you book is curated in full.
How curation works
What curated actually means.
Every program starts as a conversation with the practitioner or place that will host it. Nothing is relisted, and nothing is uploaded without being read.
STEP 01
A conversation
It begins with the Healthmate, not an upload form.
STEP 02
Checked
Who they are, what they are qualified to do, and where the program runs.
STEP 03
Shaped together
Each day, group size, inclusions, price, and what happens if someone cancels.
STEP 04
Then it goes live
If it does not meet the standard, it does not appear.
From concept to credibility
What has happened so far.
Lifed started as a question about why wellbeing only arrives after something breaks. Here is what has been built since, and who has come along.
2025
AUGUST 2025
The first program ran
Our first Lifed Original program brought fifteen professionals together from across different fields. It was the first proof that people would take real time out and turn up in person.
The people behind it
Built by people who have seen both sides.
Three backgrounds, one belief: help should not have to wait for a breakdown.

What we stand for
The rules we build to.
Six commitments that decide what appears on Lifed, and what does not.
Prevention over prescription
Built for the part of life before anything goes wrong. Non-clinical, never a replacement for professional care.
Checked before it is offered
Every Healthmate is verified and every program reviewed against the same standard before it goes live.
Local traditions, open to anyone
Traditions taught for generations across the world, hosted by people trained in them and described in plain language.
Practitioners are partners
Healthmates keep control of their craft, their name appears on the program they host, and terms are stated upfront.
Sustainability is not a footnote
Lifed holds an independently issued G14 sustainability rating, and every program is expected to sit lightly on the place that hosts it.
One person, not four departments
Programs are built for a person and a week of their actual life, not for four separate apps.
Now go and look at the programs.
