About Us

As the founder of Mataki and a mother of three, my commitment to quality, health, and safety runs deep. With a background in quality, health, safety, and environmental (QHSE), my journey into motherhood ignited a passion to create my version of a health-conscious alternative to alcohol. In 2019, expecting my first child, I embarked on a quest to find an alcohol free beverage that resonated with me and was truly 0% ABV. Disappointed by the lack of options on the market, I resolved to bring my vision to fruition.

Before motherhood, my focus on health took a different form. I delved into fitness competitions, embarked on photoshoots, and conquered half marathons. However, I learned that true wellness extends beyond mere appearances; it encompasses a holistic approach to well-being. Motherhood became my true calling—a journey where I could authentically embody my values.

Driven by a desire to be the best version of myself, both for my own fulfillment and for my children, I realized that conscious living is the ultimate testament of love. Amidst the sleepless nights, the whirlwind of stress and joy, and the priceless moments of celebration, I sought a way to unwind and connect without compromising my health or my role as a mother. Those daily glasses of wine and beloved Spicy Margaritas, while momentarily gratifying, posed a hindrance to my maternal journey. I refused to let the most precious moments pass me by in a blur.

At Mataki, we're not just about beverages; we're about embracing mindful living—a way to cherish life's moments fully, without sacrificing anything. Our dedication to wellness goes beyond what's in the bottle, connecting with those who prioritize mindful choices and genuine experiences.

I sincerely hope you enjoy our beverages and thank you for giving us a try!

Love,

Barbara
