DURHAM – Supreme WellBeing offers natural medicines, products and services for a prosperous life while educating people about holistic approaches to health issues and overall wellness.

Plant-based Oace (real name Oace Al Mansur) is the CEO of Supreme WellBeing, along with his wife, Asha Sekhmet. The couple encourages people to make wise decisions on their physical, mental, emotional and spiritual needs in a way that is both natural and therapeutic.

A native of Durham, Oace says the origin of his business was “spirit led.” He needed to make a drastic change in his life, and this inspired him to begin his business. Although he already was three years into a plant-based diet, he wanted to do more for himself and his community.

“When you live the lifestyle of being vegan and plant-based, a lot of your lifestyle is spiritual because you are connected with nature,” he said.

Oace classifies himself as a “creative wellness coach” because of the ways he uses art to teach others about holistic health. He has a background in music, preforming and songwriting, and is a published author. He says his pen name was solely Oace while he was preforming, but he put a holistic spin on the name by including “plant-based” once he began his entrepreneurial journey.

He began his business through social media, giving his followers insight into the health benefits of sea moss. Not only how it’s beneficial to the body but how he makes his own. It did not take long before his followers became curious and wanted to know more.

“Supreme Wellbeing started off with sea moss, and then it eventually branched off into other services and products,” he said. “The business was successful because of the pandemic. It was needed and in demand, and by showcasing how valuable my lifestyle was, that’s how the service came about.”

To ensure that products are of high quality, Oace says they are credibly sourced. For example, his sea moss is sourced from Grenada, an island country in the West Indies. He works with divers directly in the coral reefs who collect the sea moss to ensure freshness.

“Sea moss is great for sickle cell and burdock root,” he said. “I healed my mother’s plantar fasciitis (inflammation of the foot.) I have a tea of life blend my mom drunk twice a day for 30 days. Before that, she was wrapping her foot every day for two years; now she hasn’t had to wrap her foot.”

Supreme WellBeing guarantees that none of its products include any chemicals. Doubters and skeptics can read the testimonies on its website, www.mysupremewellbeing.com.
