Today we’d like to introduce you to Najma Premnavaz.
Hi Najma, we’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
Meet Najma Premnavaz: Turning Personal Loss into a Mission of Healing Through LANA Every meaningful business begins with a story. For Najma Premnavaz, founder of LANA Health & Wellness and LANA Onco Spa, that story is deeply personal rooted in love, loss, and a powerful purpose to change how people experience care during some of the most difficult moments of their lives.
Najma’s journey didn’t begin in the wellness industry. With a bachelor’s degree in computer applications, a Diploma in Software Engineering, and extensive training in business leadership and development, her early path was shaped by structure, systems, and problem-solving.
But life had a different calling for her.
A Defining Personal Experience
Najma’s life took a profound turn when her mother was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. She spent invaluable time by her side—witnessing not only her mother’s strength, but also the emotional and physical challenges faced by patients and their families.
Her mother was diagnosed at the age of 48 and passed away at 49.
During those moments in hospitals and care settings, Najma saw something that stayed with her forever:
There was a lack of supportive, compassionate environments focused on comfort, dignity, and holistic healing—both for patients and caregivers.
“I didn’t just see my mother’s journey,” Najma reflects. “I saw the struggles of so many families around us—physically, emotionally, and mentally. That experience changed me completely.”
That realization became the seed of something much bigger.
The Birth of LANA: Healing Beyond Traditional Care
Driven by this deeply personal experience, Najma envisioned a space that could support people through all phases of their wellness journey, especially during and after cancer treatments.
This vision became LANA Onco Spa.
A place where:
• Patients can recover from treatment side effects
• Caregivers can find relief and support
• Individuals can focus on prevention and overall wellness
• Everyone can experience care that goes beyond clinical treatment
LANA is designed not just for illness—but for healing, restoration, and prevention.
“These spaces are not a luxury—they are essential,” Najma says.
“They help people feel human again during one of the most difficult phases of their lives.”
Blending Ayurveda with Modern Wellness
A key part of LANA’s philosophy comes from her husband’s family heritage.
Najma was deeply influenced by her husband, Premnavaz’s, family background in Ayurveda, which introduced her to the power of traditional healing practices, rituals, and natural therapies.
She integrated this knowledge with her own extensive training:
• Certified Ayurveda Practitioner
• Naturopathy & Aromatherapy Practitioner
• Board-Certified Cosmetologist
• Certified Oncology Spa/wellness Therapies
• Advanced Aesthetics treatments & Permanent Makeup
This blend of ancient wisdom and modern care became the foundation of LANA’s unique approach.
A Family-Driven Mission
Behind Najma’s journey is a strong foundation of support.
Her husband, Premnavaz Rahim, is not only a successful businessman but also a vital co-founder and driving force behind LANA. His support, technical skills and engineering business experience and belief in the mission have been instrumental in building and scaling the brand.
“This is not just my journey—it’s ours,” Najma shares.
Her entire family has stood by her side, supporting her vision and helping turn a deep personal experience into a meaningful global mission.
From Purpose to Scalable Impact
What started as a personal mission has now grown into a scalable business model through LANA Franchising.
With flexible concepts like:
• LANA Pure POD (800–1000 sq ft)
• LANA Wellness LOFT (1500 sq ft and above)
• LANA LUX – Flagship Centers (2500+ sq ft and above)
Najma is empowering entrepreneurs to bring this impact-driven model into their own communities.
“This is more than a business opportunity,” she explains.
“It’s a chance to create something meaningful—something that truly helps people.”

A Vision Rooted in Compassion
Today, Najma’s vision is clear:
To create a global network of wellness spaces that support people through prevention, recovery, and healing, especially during life’s most challenging journeys.
Her story is a powerful reminder that the most impactful businesses are not just built on ideas—but on real experiences, deep empathy, and a desire to make a difference.
Final Thought
“LANA was born from pain—but it exists to bring comfort, strength, and healing to others. It fills a critical gap in the world, and in doing so, is shaping the future of wellness.”

We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
It definitely hasn’t been a smooth road.
What we are building with LANA is a completely new concept, and one of the biggest challenges was educating the community. When we started, many people—including patients, caregivers, and even healthcare providers—were not fully aware of how supportive, integrative wellness therapies can play a role alongside medical treatments.
I spent a significant amount of time meeting with doctors and professionals to explain that what we offer is complementary, not contradictory. Our goal is to support patients—helping them manage side effects, improve comfort, and enhance overall well-being during their treatment journey.
There was also confusion around results and expectations—how these therapies help, what outcomes to expect, and how they fit into the recovery process. To build trust, we treated the first 2–3 years as a learning and case-study phase, carefully understanding patient responses, experiences, and outcomes.
On a personal level, it required immense dedication.
There were times I worked 16 hours a day, often missing time with my family and children. It wasn’t easy—but I believed deeply in the mission.
Today, that hard work has helped us create a real, proven experience, which we are now able to translate into a scalable franchise model—so this impact can reach more communities around the world.
Looking back, every challenge reinforced one thing:
When you are building something meaningful, the journey may be difficult—but it’s always worth it.

We are also proud to be expanding this mission through LANA Franchising, allowing other entrepreneurs to bring this impact into their own communities.
What We Want Readers to Know
LANA is more than a business—it’s a movement toward meaningful wellness.
Whether someone is looking to:
• Recover from treatment

• Prevent future health issues
• Or simply find a place to relax and heal
LANA is designed to support them at every stage.
Our goal is simple but powerful:
To make specialized, compassionate wellness care accessible to everyone.
How do you think about happiness?
What makes you happy? Why?
What truly makes me happy is knowing that something we created is making a real difference in someone’s life.
When I see a client walk into LANA feeling anxious, tired, or going through a difficult phase—and then leave feeling calmer, more confident, and cared for—that moment means everything to me.
It’s especially meaningful when we support individuals going through cancer treatments. Seeing them regain a sense of comfort, dignity, and even a small moment of relief during such a challenging time is deeply fulfilling.
Beyond that, I feel happy when I see this vision growing—when other entrepreneurs believe in LANA and want to bring it into their communities. It means the impact is expanding beyond just one location.
On a personal level, my happiness also comes from my family. Their support has been my strength throughout this journey. Knowing that I’m building something meaningful while making them proud gives me a deep sense of purpose.
For me, happiness is not just about success—it’s about creating something that truly helps people and leaves a positive impact in the world.
