My Journey — The Story Behind Ryhan Boutique
In 2023, I founded Ryhan Boutique, inspired by my lifelong passion for fashion. I’ve always believed that style is a reflection of individuality, and I wanted to create a boutique that offers women trendsetting, timeless pieces that help them feel confident and uniquely themselves.The name Ryhan comes from the two most important people in my life—my children, Ryan and Hanna. Combining their names felt like the perfect way to honor the love and strength they give me every day.
In 2020, my life changed dramatically when I was diagnosed with breast cancer at the age of 48. I went through chemotherapy, radiation, and surgery. It was one of the most difficult experiences of my life—physically, emotionally, and spiritually draining. But even in the darkest moments, I was determined not to let cancer define who I am.
With the support of my family and friends, and a whole lot of faith and fight, I made it through. That experience gave me a new perspective on life. I realized how important it is to live each day with intention, gratitude, and joy.
That’s when I decided to finally pursue my dream and open my own boutique—with a renewed sense of purpose. I poured my heart into creating a space that radiates warmth, positivity, and style. Ryhan Boutique is not just a place to shop; it’s a place where women can feel empowered, inspired, and seen.
Today, Ryhan Boutique is thriving, and I’m so grateful to be doing what I love. I also use this platform to give back—supporting breast cancer organizations and sharing my story in hopes of encouraging others who may be facing their own challenges.
This boutique is more than just a business. It’s a reflection of my journey, my resilience, and my belief in the power of starting over. I invite you to visit Ryhan Boutique—not just to find your next favorite outfit, but to be part of a story rooted in love, strength, and style.
