Born in Romania during a time when medicine was scarce, I grew up in a culture where plants were trusted for healing—there was always a natural remedy for every need. That early connection stayed with me and later deepened through my passion for biochemistry, where I earned national recognition, including first place in a countrywide competition.
Life took an unexpected turn when my youngest child was diagnosed with a brain tumour at just three years old. During these times of care and hospital visits, returning to my career was no longer possible. But in that difficult season, something meaningful began to grow.
Encouraged by a close friend, I turned back to what I already trusted—botanical care I had long used for my own family. That’s how Maison Andeve was born: from love, resilience, and a belief in the quiet power of nature.
Today, I stay true to that promise—creating gentle, natural skincare inspired by the ingredients we once knew and trusted.
