Founder Story
Heather Sears started Kinsho because her increasingly mindless food habits and smart phone addiction had her choking during triple-tasking work lunches and making unhealthy (but fast!) food choices for herself and family.
She found that integrating mindful moments around food – shopping, prep and eating – helped her increase the healthfulness and pleasure of each bite. It also deepened her self-knowing as new food preferences emerged and old habits slipped away. She wrote about this in her award-winning book, Mind to Mouth. Kinsho tips and content are based on Heather’s book.
Additionally, Heather started paying more attention to the products she used for meal prep and dining, and found that certain designs were more helpful and enjoyable.
Kinsho brings together her love of well-designed products and desire to educate about how mealtime mindfulness can reveal insights that support a deeper connection not just with the food we eat, but with ourselves, family and friends.
Kinsho was founded in Boston’s South End where Heather lives with her husband and young son – an expert in attentive tasting, mindful savoring and bento box product testing.
