Hi, I’m Ketna, the founder of Zazu.

My journey to building Zazu started with a deep appreciation and love for movement and its power to change lives.  After years of working as a lawyer in London, I moved back to Nairobi in 2022 with no plan and one question on my mind, what now?

It wasn’t long before I found my answer – in the mountains of South Africa, connecting with local tribes in Tanzania, on beautiful hikes in Kenya, and in the freedom of moving my body and seeing what experiences it unlocked for me. Movement enabled everything.  But back home, I saw something else: many older adults around me—people I love —were slowing down, not because of age itself but because they hadn’t been given the tools to move well, to move right. 

They believed it was normal to live with aches and pains and that with ageing, decline is inevitable. But what I saw was the opposite. Movement could unlock strength, confidence, and freedom — at any age.

I knew, this was what I had to do. Movement. And specifically, movement for healthy ageing.

I began by training my parents. With strength-based exercises and targeted aerobic activity, they got stronger, slept better and improved their overall health.  And the best bit? They made a new bucket list in their 60s. I launched Zazu with a mission to empower individuals through movement, to live an energised and fulfilling life. To change how ageing is experienced – from decline to vitality.  

Movement is just the start. What we’re really building is freedom. 

You in?
