It all started with trying to answer the question…
…what can our kids do in Korea during the summer that’s both meaningful and fun so that I can get some facials and laser treatments?
Welcome to UmmaNola (Umma means mother; Nola means play in Korean)—your ultimate connection to Korea! We're Jihye and Jimin, co-founders of UmmaNola, and we're so excited to share our journey with you.
It all began with a simple question: What can our kids do in Korea during the summer that's both meaningful and fun while we enjoy some much-needed facials and laser treatments? That spark led us to create UmmaNola K-Camps in 2023—a summer day camp experience in Korea where children could dive deeper into their Korean heritage.
Fast forward two years, and your enthusiasm and support have inspired us to expand. From skincare recommendations to family-friendly accommodations, medical check-ups, photo studios, and even color-matching services, we've heard your questions. Planning a trip to Korea is a meaningful adventure, but we know it can feel overwhelming.
That's why we have evolved! While we’re no longer running our own UmmaNola K-Camp, we’ve partnered with a variety of incredible programs to offer families a range of options—plus exclusive discounts for UmmaNola followers.
As moms and entrepreneurs, we get it. The balance between taking care of your family and making time for yourself can be tricky. Whether you're dreaming of a well-deserved break, indulging in some self-care, or curating unforgettable experiences for your family, UmmaNola is here to help.
Thank you for being part of our journey. We can’t wait to help you nola (play) well!
With love,
Jihye & Jimin
