Why Kaari exists
“We started Kaari because the advice after a diagnosis was ‘be careful’. We knew it should be ‘get strong’.”
Jenni and Jaana Tarma are the mother-daughter team behind Kaari. Jenni is a lifelong athlete who believes 'strong' is the answer, and Jaana makes sure that answer reaches women around the world.
