A modern wellness company for women breaking cycles—hormonal, emotional, generational, and financial.

Who We Are

Same Skin is a modern wellness company helping women break cycles—hormonal, generational, emotional, and financial—and live in sync with their bodies, ambition, and ancestry.

We’re here for the women who are done contorting themselves to fit into systems that were never built for them. We believe your culture shouldn’t be co-opted to sell you wellness—it should define it.

We’re not selling self-care as luxury. We’re building wellness as infrastructure—so that ambition, rest, and ancestral wisdom can live side by side.

Your cycle isn’t a curse. It’s your currency.

We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all wellness.

We don’t believe in
one-size-fits-all wellness.

We believe in giving women the tools, language, and community to build power through their biology.

This is wellness that actually works—for your hormones, your hustle, and your heritage.

Why It Matters

Because hustle without healing will break you.

Because the women carrying the most deserve more than survival.

Because when one woman heals, she doesn’t just change her story—she transforms her entire bloodline.

This isn’t about becoming someone new.

It’s about remembering who you were before the world told you to shrink.

Why I Built Same Skin

I’m Michelle Desouza—pilot by training, corporate aviation girlie by profession. But Same Skin is the most important thing I’ve ever built.

I created it after losing my dad to cancer, burning out in a job that looked good on paper, and realizing I had no idea how to take care of my own body. And I wasn’t alone.

Every woman I spoke to was battling something—burnout, grief, shame, pressure. We were raised to achieve, not to rest. To give, not receive. To survive, not thrive.

Same Skin was born from the belief that we deserve better:
Better tools. Better spaces. Better stories.

And most of all—a better relationship with ourselves.
This is the space I needed at 19. At 25. At 33.

A space to be honest. To be held. To be seen.

If it feels like you’ve been waiting for this, you probably have.
Let’s build the future of wellness—rooted in where we come from, and built for where we’re going.
