Our Story
Co-founders Gabi Sicat and Kaely Roa met during their early college years and have been dancing through life together ever since. From life’s biggest milestones to its toughest challenges, they’ve always found a way to keep moving forward, together.
Their shared passion for wellness, movement, and their Filipina heritage eventually sparked a bigger idea: wellness should feel good, inclusive, and belong to everyone.
Gabi and Kaely are building Mayap at the intersection of wellness, culture, and community, with the goal of making feeling good something everyone can experience.
Born from friendship. Rooted in culture. Made to make you feel good.
Meet the Founders
Gabi and Kaely
For Kaely, that mission is deeply personal. After navigating hydration-related health challenges and migraines, she became a true hydration supplement connoisseur. She learned firsthand how hydration can impact how you feel and show up every day. A former cheerleader with a lifelong passion for wellness and culture, she brings both personal experience and curiosity to everything Mayap encapsulates.
For Gabi, wellness took on a new meaning after retiring from competitive water polo. As a Philippine National Team athlete and DI water polo student-athlete, she had spent years understanding performance, discipline, movement, and recovery. Life after sport opened a different chapter, that led her to explore movement, supplements, and a more holistic approach to her own well-being, including her mental health. With degrees in Economics, Public Health, and Ethnic Studies, Gabi is passionate about creating wellness that is inclusive, accessible, and rooted in culture
