From Mari to Moka: Our Story

When Mari, the heart of our family, got sick, we started looking for natural ways to support her healing. That’s when we discovered kefir, living grains full of probiotics that we learned to care for every day. It quickly became a family ritual: feeding the grains, straining them, and laughing about how they kept multiplying faster than we could drink them.

Soon, caring for Mari and for “the bugs” became a full-time job. We began sharing them with friends, and little by little, our kitchen turned into a small kefir lab. Somewhere along the way, Andrés said something that stayed with us forever: in our home, there’s always extra love, and it now overflows in the form of kefir.

That’s how Simply Life was born.


Andy left his job to dedicate himself fully to this growing project. Ricky studied business administration to build the company. Tete joined to manage systems and logistics. And then came Gaby, Ricky’s wife, bringing her creativity, storytelling, and design to turn this family story into a living brand.

After years of traveling the world, Gaby arrived with Moka, her loyal companion. But moving so much had taken a toll on him; his stomach was delicate, and every change of food affected him. So we started sharing our kefir with him too. Slowly, his digestion strengthened, his coat began to shine, and his playful energy returned.

That’s when we realized this love could reach even further, from humans to pets.
And so Simply Life Pets was born the same care, the same living probiotics, now made especially for them.

Today, Simply Life is more than a company. It’s a reminder that love, when cared for, multiplies. It heals, it grows, and it invites us to live with simplicity, to find wellness in the small, everyday acts of care.

From Mari to Moka, from healing to health, from family to family, from love to life.
