They say fortune favors the bold and this 2025, Dani Barretto is entering the year with a bang!
Who would have thought that a happy-go-lucky celebrity daughter would pave the way and be a trailblazer in the wellness industry?
Only eight months in and now, we got to see a fabulous event in Makati that her brand Wellness Whispers mounted.
Complete with a perfume, candle, accessory, drinks and aesthetic photograph area that looks like a grocery fit for an Instagram feed, Dani managed to create an event that would pass Gen Z’s standards with flying colors.
We managed to get a hold of the Barretto family and her sister Julia told us, “I expect nothing less from Dani. Pero gulat din ako because we have been in this location for so many events right?
“And to have my sister produce this kind of event, it is such a proud moment.”
From mom Marjorie to siblings Julia, Claudia and Leon, the Barretto family celebrates Dani’s new chapter as entrepreneur.
Julia added, “Dani is in her own league right now in doing big things for herself.”
Two months ago, Dani gave birth to her second child but instead of opting for a maternity leave, she grew her business and she has more than 35,000 returning customers.
From five loyal employees, now she has 25 under her wing.

Her products range from Hormonal Imbalance to Stress Relief, and these are drinks that are low calorie. With this, Dani managed to address many issues a great number of customers deal with on the daily basis.
Dani shared, “This is crazy and overwhelming, I did not know that in eight months it was going to be like this. Kasi may pagka-pessimist ako paminsan-minsan. Doer ako pero may pagka-pessimist din ako.
“You don’t want to overthink it but also you do not want to be overconfident. But for the past eight months, it has just been a crazy beautiful ride.”
After a few moments, the whole family came and had the same reaction as Julia.
We managed to talk to Leon, Claudia and mom Marjorie who was so sweet to say, “They are much better versions of me!
“Because the things that I fear, they are very adventurous. They take risks and that is something I am learning from my kids.”
I really enjoyed seeing how the siblings’ dynamics were because Marjorie was able to make her kids shine in their own right.
Despite the challenges of public life, seeing them together shows how she has always prioritized her children, ensuring they grow up with strong values and a sense of responsibility.
Through her balanced approach to motherhood, Marjorie has taught her children the importance of love, respect and hard work, making her an inspiring role model for both her family and fans alike.
While Dani is in business, Julia is a superstar in showbiz, Claudia on the other hand is interested in music, and Leon is into his marketing studies in college and is in the Dean’s List.
We asked if the two younger ones wanted to join showbiz and so far, it is nowhere near the horizon.
“Right now, my priorities are still my studies,” Leon said.
Since he has a degree in marketing, he said that maybe in the future he will join Dani’s company and help take it to greater heights.
On a side note, recently, his TikTok video with Katseye’s Sophia Laforteza went viral and fans have been wondering if they are an item.
We asked Leon if they are going out, as in dating, and he said, “We’re just friends. We have been friends since we were 13 and I was there since the very beginning.”
Hope that clears it!
