HapiFound unifies art and science in service of the families, neighbors, and communities navigating illness — and the joy waiting on the other side of it.
"When 'I' is replaced with 'WE,' even illness becomes wellness." — Malcolm X
For more than a decade, our work has stood on a single belief — that wellness is not a private accomplishment. It is something we make for each other. We sit with the family in the waiting room. We cook the meals. We fund the research. We hold the hand.
HapiFound is the next chapter of a foundation that began as The Arsenceic Foundation — the perfect blend of art and science. The art is the human one: presence, kindness, the meal made with care. The science is the rigorous one: plant-based research, evidence-based nutrition, real outcomes. Together, they are how we get to Hapi.
One-to-one and family coaching for people navigating cancer, chronic illness, and the long road back to themselves. We sit with you. We help with food, with questions, with the small daily decisions that compound into healing.
Learn more →Community events, kitchen workshops, and creative gatherings that turn nutrition science into something you can taste, touch, and share with the people you love.
Learn more →Direct food and supply support for unhoused neighbors and families in crisis. Dignity-first, no questions asked. Started under Arsenceic, growing under HapiFound.
Learn more →We fund and partner with independent plant-based research — the unglamorous, peer-reviewed kind. Because hope is wonderful and evidence is better, and our families deserve both.

Today she is cancer-free.
Diagnosed at 21 days old with high-risk neuroblastoma. After chemo and two stem cell transplants the cancer was still there. Caidin's family worked with our founders on a complementary protocol.
On April 28, 2017, Caidin was declared cancer-free. He is still NED today. — Zac, Caidin's dad
